Benny the mascot (Reconfirm) edit

I accept partial responsibility for everything that happened regarding Matthewedwards and his community ban. I therefore put myself up for reconfirmation so that the community may decide if it still wants me to serve as admin and reviewer. Oh, and this happened. :( Benny the mascot (talk) 17:00, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question how do you feel you have addressed the issues you raise above? Note I shall be asking this of anyone putting themself up for reconfirmation --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 18:01, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. First of all, let me begin with my handling of the move war. My decision to protect the article was an unwise decision on my part, and I have promised to think more carefully the next time a similar incident occurs. As for the Matthewedwards fiasco, I have apologized personally to him on his talk page, and I am currently drafting a community resolution that will (hopefully) solve the mess we are in right now. --Benny the mascot (talk) 18:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support without question. --Skenmy ^talk 17:02, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support You have my full trust, and were one of the few people during the entire fiasco to not lose their heads and rush into the mob lynching. As for the edit war thingy, I don't consider that to be a big mistake, just a small slip-up, nothing to be overly concerned about. However, i don't think it would be a bad idea for all us admins involved with Matthew's block in some way to put themselves up for reconfirm. I'm considering doing so.

Support. Like Tempo said, you were an exception in that you didn't lose your mind during recent events. C628 (talk) 17:12, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support You are so far one of the best admins around. --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 17:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Yes, you called for the ban in the first place, but throughout the rest of it you didn't follow the crowd and seemed to be a lone voice often. Hey, you made a mistake with the edit war and that's no big deal provided you learnt from your mistake. I congratulate you on your willingness to put yourself up for reconfirmation.

Support. Now, get back to work. ;-) --Brian McNeil / ^talk 12:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support OK --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 17:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Hey, you're more active than me, and you've made less screwups than me, and these people kept me around. :-) --Thunderhead ^{(t - e - c)} 01:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thought I already had. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Safe to say, we're not throwing you out (Yet). --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 19:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
