 * 1) Guy sits around in IRC all the time telling the admins when to delete things and ban people. Watches the recent changes, reverting and warning where necessary, for a solid percentage of his editing time.

Mauser (15 admins + 14 users/0/0)
Two week deadline from first request, voting ends 30 May 2009.

Support

 * 1) Active user. WotM. Been around since 2007. Contribs full of "undo" entries that could be rollbacks. Does operational grunt work that few users do (that few admins do, really). Doesn't get into needless conflicts. Basically just an all-around un-objectionable candidate for additional user rights. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

AdmirableAckbar (11 admins + 12 users/0/0)
Two week deadline from first request, voting ends 31 May 2009.

Support

 * 1) At the January 25th Mofference, I put forth a proposal that in place of being over 18 years of age, a candidate for administrator may substitute two years of notable service to our site. There were two users whose positions of prominence on the site spurred me to push for this legislation, and one of them has already become an administrator since. The other, AdmirableAckbar, has for just over two years now been a supremely productive, constructive, and committed member of the Wookieepedia community. Acky, as he has come to be called, is the epitome of backbone. He will not hesitate to state his opinion or pursue the execution of site policy whenever he feels it is necessary. An author of something like seventy-five featured articles as well as numerous good articles, Acky has been deeply involved in the processes of article quality review, having served as an Inquisitor and personally conceived the AgriCorps. There is no reason whatsoever in my mind that Acky should not already be an administrator. Graestan ( Talk ) 18:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I have always found Acky to be a mature, intelligent, and level-headed member of the Wookieepedia community. I can think of few others who would use their new tools as well as him. Cylka  -talk- 18:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) As a user he helped me more than once with various subjects. I'm sure as an administrator he can bring even more usefulness to the site.  Mauser  Comlink 18:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Per Graestan and Cylka.  OLIOSTER  Sith_Emblem.svg 18:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) —Xwing328 (Talk) 20:30, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Cavalier One FarStar Logo.jpg( Squadron channel ) 20:32, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) Proud to support my fellow under-18er.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Per Grae and Cylka. An excellent choice.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 20:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) Felt I just had to vote. One of the bestest best users around. Thefourdotelipsis 22:36, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) Per Grae and Cylka. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 22:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Absolutely. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 23:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) Long overdue. Ackmaster Flash, congratulations.  IFYLOFD  ( You will pay the price for your lack of vision! ) 23:09, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) Naturally, per Grae and Cylka. Good job, Ackbar. :)  CC7567  (talk) 01:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) Per Floyd. Acky has deserved this for a long time, and would gotten it earlier if it wasn't for the age limit. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 05:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 16) We were basically just waiting for this day (or a day two weeks ago, as the case may be). jSarek 09:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) To quote... myself back on Jorrel's RFA, it's about bloody time. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 11:55, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) Heh! One of those you presume is already an admin. --Eyrezer 11:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 19) The perfect Wookieepedian. Someone who welcomed me into the community, offered encouragement, helped me out with info on FAs out of his own volition and proved a fine partner in crime while we attempted Nom Anor (I hope one day to right my wrongs and work alongside this diligent researcher and excellent artist of prose once more!). He deals with problems such as talentless anons and erring users the way any Wookieepedian should, proving that he is deserved of adminship, and has shown that he has a keen understanding of all facets of Wookieepedia. Wholehearted support for an excellent user who has written roughly 12% of the FAs on the site. -- —Harrar  ( Villip ) 12:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 20) Like Chack and, ehrm, myself, who were also affected by the rule, it's about time. Acky's a great user, has been a great user for the duration he's been here, and will likely continue to be a great user. Sorry for the self-service there. 15:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 21) Per everyone else. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 19:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 22) About time indeed. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 23) Absolutely. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 20:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Comments

 * Accepted nomination on IRC two weeks late! Graestan ( Talk ) 18:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and encouragement. I just thought I'd note that I hope to have the questionnaire finished and posted by tomorrow evening. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
