Jack Nebulax (4/7/1)
Ending 13 May 2006

Support

 * 1) MyNz 23:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC) - Aim for it Jack Nebulax. You have been here for more than six months and have contributed much to Wookieepedia.
 * 2)  Stake Black talk - Contribs at 23:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Conditional support. I believe Jack can and will overcome the criticism mentioned below. - Sikon [ Talk ] 03:30, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) MandalorianWarriortalk [[Image:Mandskull.jpg|20px]] 05:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Sorry Jack, but I think your attitude towards other users needs to improve a bit more before your admin material. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 23:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) I would support him, as he has made excellent contributions to this wiki and has done a great job of looking after many articles. However, from what I've seen from many of his interactions with others, he seems to feel that it's "his way or the highway" (no offense) on most articles. As Jaymach said, Jack will definately be admin material if his attitude toward others improves.  Adamwankenobi [[Image:Black Sun.jpg|22px]] Talk to me! My home. 23:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose, for the reasons mentioned above. jSarek 00:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose. Jasca Ducato 08:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose. WhiteBoy 18:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose. Ozzel 05:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Strong Oppose. 80% of his edits are reverts, most of them are actually useful content. He is closer to be a vandal, delibertately destroying contents. His attitude toward anons is condescending, if he's online when an anon adds something, it sure gets reverted. - TopAce 10:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Neutral/comments
I asked Jack Nebulax's permission when I nominated him. He just needs to be kinder to new users. MyNz 01:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) On the one hand, he seems to always be online, and is vigilant against fanon and vandalism.  On the other hand, he has a tendency to be overly brusque with new users.  On the gripping hand, speaking as a newbie administrator who's still a bit surprised to have been promoted, how many admins do we really need?  &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't believe there's someone else besides me who uses the phrase "gripping hand." Kuralyov 23:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand why I'm being opposed, and I'd just like to let everyone know that from this point on, I'm going to try my hardest to not be so rude (I realized I've said this before, but this time I do mean it). And I really don't care if I end up an administrator or not. I know I need to improve before I can even come close to becoming an administrator, and hopefully I might become one in the future. This said, I really don't care about the outcome of this&mdash;I came here to edit articles and try to improve the site as best as I could. And don't think that this is something to try to get more votes, because it's not. I'm going to change from this point on. But I do appreciate the nomination, so thank you, MyNz. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Are there really too many admins here? MyNz 23:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Jack, if you successfully improve your demeanor, I will be one of the first to support a future adminship nomination. You're constantly striving to improve the Wook, and are eternally vigilant against not only creeping fanon and vandalism, but also small things like grammar and box formatting.  However, as admin, your job duties stretch beyond just improving Wookieepedia, and currently I don't feel you have the attitude to serve as a "face" for the site.  If that changes, as you say it will, then you will be ready for the robe. jSarek 00:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I won't let you down, jSarek. ;) Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I couldn't have said it better myself, jSarek. WhiteBoy 18:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * This may be a little off topic (or perhaps not), but I think we should require future nominees to accept the nomination prior to any voting/comments (with the obvious exception being self-noms). This way, we can be sure that the nominee actually wants to be an admin, and feels ready to do so. Thoughts? RMF 00:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering, for those that oppose me, what if I could change before this vote ended? Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:29, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that I'd not change my vote as I'd need to make sure the attitude change stuck. As you said yourself, you've said that you'd change before so I'm afraid that I'd have to wait to see that you didn't change back. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 12:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Jaymach, I give you my word, I won't change back this time. I don't mind if you still oppose this, but I just want to let you know. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I agree. Only time will tell if the change is genuine.  jSarek said it so well above; I truly hope you keep your word because you have done many good things for the site.  WhiteBoy 18:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * TopAce, what are you talking about? I revert what I think sounds like fanon, and, if I was wrong, it gets re-added. And just because an anon does something doesn't mean I have to revert it. And I am not delibertately destroying content. I don't vandalize Wookieepedia. After all, TopAce was the one who made a personal attack on me here. He probably still has a grudge against me anyway. And I've made mistakes in the past, yes, but I certainly don't vandalize Wookieepedia. I try to improve it. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh well, it looks like I'm not going to make it this time anyway... Hopefully I'll be nominated again when I have fulfilled my promises. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: I've withdrawn my acceptance of the nomination for now. Hopefully I'll have better luck the next time around, if there is one. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:51, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Second try
Result: Removed (failed).

Support

 * 1) He has done a well worth amount of Edits ... almost every day and night. He obviously knows his way around the Star wars universe than most people. I think he'd make a VERY good admin. You can't deny that. --Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 00:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Really helpful and nice.  Jaina Solo  (talk) [[Image:Jbig3.JPG|20px]] 00:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) He's dilligent when it comes to grammar and touch-ups. VT-16 14:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) A very dedicated Wookieepedian. He has made numerous major contributions and is very helpful. Fleet Admiral Jack Nebulax is deserving of adminship.--Darth Oblivion 15:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) Contributes alot here and is very nice.  Anakin Solo Jedi (Hero to the Enemy)[[Image:Anakinsolo.png|20px]] 16:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) The last time he got nominated, I was one of the fierciest(?) to oppose his nomination. He changed since then and I felt kind of a pang of consicence for opposing him so vehemently. He had a promise to fulfill for me, which he partially did, so I give my support to him this time. Besides, he's usually around when vandals emerge. - TopAce 18:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, all of the above, hes been really working hard to control his outbursts to which i respect because i understand how hard it is sometimes, he makes alomost contionous updates on pages and works hard. Jedi Dude 20:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) He's seemed pretty much like a de facto admin in my mind.Tocneppil 21:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) From what I've heard, he's really contributed alot. Darth EJ 22:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) He'll make a valuable asset as an administrator. I can imagine him fighting vandals. MyNz - Zainal 03:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) I have enough faith that he'll use his powers wisely.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 15:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) I believe that Nebulax was already a valuable member of Wookieepedia before, and with his recent improvements in dealing with other, especially new, users, has proven himself worthy of adminship. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 18:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Sith   Lord   Pigeon  00:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) He's a regular vandalism fighter, which is more than good enough for me. -- SFH 02:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Whole heartedly. Cutch 02:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 9) Yes. Probably for naught with WhiteBoy's oppose vote. -Finlayson 03:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 10) Just look at his contribution. Jedi jordy 64
 * 11) Lots of contributions and work on this wiki, a vandal fighter. It seems like he is on every page at the same time! Lt. 1993 02:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose. While I think he has improved, my trust is not there to be ready to support his adminship.  WhiteBoy 19:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) I will second Chad. Neb's been too controversial in the past. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Ditto. Kuralyov 03:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Terribly sorry Jack, but I agree, too controversial, give it some time. Roron Corobb 10:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) There seems to be lingering predjudice toward noobs. Is he trying to be less heavy handed because it is right, or so he can become an admin?  Exp.Fl.Cmndr. Mitth&#39;raw&#39;nuruodo 00:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) sorry nebulax your a cool user but i really think you would get out of hand as an admin. Ugluk 02:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose.. Sorry, but your behaviour in talk threads like Boba Fett doesn't give me a lot of confidence.QuentinGeorge 07:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Reluctant oppose. I'm a bit torn on this nom – Jack is undoubtedly a very diligent and dedicated user, and has nothing but the best intentions for this wiki. However, some of his past actions re: treatment of newcomers and revert warring leave me with some doubt as to whether or not he would use sysop-tools in a fair and responsible manner, avoiding any potential conflicts of interest. That said, he is a good editor, and I hate to see him hit with perennial 'failed' RfAs. RMF 05:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 19:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC) Are we deciding this under the old rules or the new ones?  StarNeptune Talk to me! 15:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a bit torn on this. While he has been quite effective aganist vandals and the like, I feel as if we don't need anymore admins and he is a bit on the controversal side as stated above. -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 22:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Might as well get it over with and just put "Failed" for this one now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Some Yoda quote quote will encourge you, But I fail to remember any. But there is still hope. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Jabathehuttguy.jpg|20px]] 14:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm hoping new rules. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * And Riff, I noticed you said "controversial in the past". What about now? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I would have waited to nominate anyone for admin until after the new rules, if any, are enacted. Someone appears to not share the same philosophy though. However, even under the currently proposed new rules, the bureaucrats Riffsyphon1024 and WhiteBoy maintain veto power. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 01:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There are no new rules yet, since the CT hasn't finished. WhiteBoy 02:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess it's over, then. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Now I guess it's really over. Might as well end it now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Administrators, please end this. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC
