 * 1) Tommy is one of our most prolific users in terms of creating quality content, but scanning through his many edits also shows numerous undos and reversions of unhelpful edits. Tommy has been round the site since 2007, and in that time has become a true asset to Wookieepedia. He has written over 62 FAs and 29 GAs (!), and is a member of the Inq and AC. I believe Tommy is truly deserving of rollback, and it will only benefit the site to have such a tool in his hands. Grunny  ( talk ) 02:47, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Absolutely.  JangFett  (Talk) 02:48, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Aye. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 02:49, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Positively. A dedicated user who is very deserving. :)  CC7567  (talk) 02:49, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * 13) Tommy has for years now poured his sweat and blood (literally? :P) into making Wookieepedia a better place, and there are few users I would trust more with the advanced user privileges of this wiki than him. Absolutely deserving of this responsibility. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:12, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Optional candidate Q&A

 * 1) Why should you be granted rollback rights?
 * 2) *My primary goal with regard to Wookieepedia is and has always been the to serve the site wholeheartedly and preserve its integrity to the best of my ability. Patrolling recent changes has allowed me to serve the site in a particular capacity, because that is where untoward edits are exposed. While the ability to revert/restore unproductive edits is something that all Wookieepedians have, I believe rollback allows those who are able to undo unproductive edits more efficiently. For me, rollback isn’t a "right," but more of an honored duty; it's not a cane used to flog the mischievous, but rather a broom to sweep up that which was made untidy. —Tommy 9281 13:39, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Xd1358 is hard-working wookieepedian who is regularly doing more than his share on anti-vandalism work, and always ready to help and give guidance to the users in need. He is active on the maintaining side of the site, and his recent appointments to both AC and Inq is a good indicate of his eye for the article quality. I truly believe he, and we as community, would benefit from giving him a bit larger broom. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 23:21, January 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Very good candidate.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 16:36, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Optional candidate Q&A

 * 1) Why should you be granted rollback rights?
 * 2) *So that I could revert faster? o_O I actually find myself undoing edits just to see that someone has already rollbacked it. I guess I could beat 'em with rollback. :D I am around quite a lot, just sitting there with the auto-refreshing RC on and checking almost every edit. Rollback is just a tool, IMHO, and it can't really hurt if there are more users with it.  1358  (Talk)  17:46, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Jonjedigrandmaster (2 admins + 0 users/0/0)
Two week deadline from first request, voting ends February 13, 2011.

Support

 * 1) Jon's been a Wookieepedian since January of 2009, pretty much the whole time providing the very picture of an exemplary user. He is a master of the article nomination processes, with 15 successful featured articles and 73 good articles to his name, as well as membership in both the AgriCorps and Inquisitorius. His extensive knowledge of the topics in the articles he nominates has made him the top writer for WookieeProject Legacy Era as well as the leader of WookieeProject New Sith Wars. The August 2009 Wookieepedian of the Month, Jon was awarded rollback rights in December of that year for his extensive work patrolling the recent changes, dealing with vandalism and other bad-faith edits. But none of that is why I have nominated Jonjedigrandmaster for adminship; indeed it is what he has accomplished since December of 2009 that impresses me most. Jon is very active in the site's processes, from Trash compactor to Consensus track, always delivering measured, well thought-out, and civil opinions on decisions to be made. Jon does not vote along any lines aside from his own careful reasoning, never losing his cool or consistently voting with or against any particular user. He has developed into one of the most respected quiet leaders of the site, and I would be honored to have him join the ranks of the admins. Graestan ( Talk ) 00:06, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2)  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 00:30, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Sure. Ajraddatz 00:56, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Comments
