1. Is a good user, knows the policies and has done a lot of work towards the wiki. The Solar Dragon 15:28, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
2. You deserve it dude. - ThePlatypus 20:39, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
3. Yep, good contributor, Third most edits on this wiki out of active people. --Smiley12 was here at 21:08, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
4. Count me in for supporting Effluv. He's a good editor and a good egg to boot. -- Mythigator 23:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
5. Yes, he would be a great administrator. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. I can't find any reason to oppose, but this user has only been here a month. -- Brian McClure 01:18, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

• But in that month he made more than 3000 edits and did a lot of good things like improving most of the pages and creating templates. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:38, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
  • That makes him a good user. But why would that make him (in your words) "a great administrator"? Of the three current requests, I support this one the most, but again, I'm not sure if a month is long enough. I've seen a lot of users who come in, put in a few months of hard work, then burn themselves out and leave. We need to know that he will stick around. -- Brian McClure 01:59, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

If no one objects, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. -- Mythigator 23:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

1. I would recommend taking the first step to getting to be an admin, becoming a rollback first --Smiley12 was here at 00:34, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. • Oppose per this edit. He later said "I don't remember where I saw it", so even if it was in good faith it shows very poor judgement skills. This could have easily been disproven by checking the end credits. You should never add something that you can't remember where you heard it. That is how vandalism spreads. -- Brian McClure 00:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

McClure - That's one freaking instance where I goofed, out of plenty of other changes I've made with no issues at all. You might cut me some slack for owning up to my mistakes. If rollback is a more logical step then going to directly to admin, then fine. -- Mythigator 02:06, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

TheHomer

Like Mythigator said, if no one objects. It took me 20 minutes to write this, I'm nervous... just exaggerating, but I'd like to be an administrator. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. Yeah, it would be nervous making an admin request, the thought that it would get turned down (I never had to do it though, I was made a rollback, then an admin without having to request anything, or even asking), But I'm sure you'll get accepted though. --Smiley12 was here at 01:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. Adminship is not a badge of honour. You have not given us any reason why we should make you an admin. Sure, you've been a good contributor, but you haven't been here long and you really haven't displayed a need for the tools. -- Brian McClure 01:24, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

• Mmmm... I think you're right. Plus Effluvium deserves it more than me. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:38, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
