====Status====
Unsuccessful 20:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

====Candidate statement====
Well guys, here it is. In my short time here, I've only gotten to know a few of you, but however this turns out, I hope I'll be able to get to know more of you guys ^^

I know my way through wiki-code and I've done my fair share of vandalism fighting. I also have a good knowledge of the policies and guidelines here, so decisions I make will be well informed. I do patrol recent changes quite a lot and check my watchlist numerous times a day. I also have had experience with sysop tools (you know I won't mess around with them). I see this as my chance to help out–to keep this wiki nice and vandalism-free. Not so sure what to say, but like the others, I'd my contributions and participation decide your vote, rather than what I type. Thanks for the nomination, and I'm always willing to help (: –[[File:User Balistic Pve B d-dark.jpg|19px|link=User:Balistic]][[User:Balistic|alistic]] 18:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

#'''Support''' I have seen that you are a sysop and even a bureaucrat on many wikia and wiki sites. I feel that if you have never abused your tools there that you won't abuse them here. I have seen the good that you have done for this wiki and I feel confident that you would do well. We all make little mistakes, but we do learn from them and your recent on here was trying to remove obvious vandalism/NPA. I have no doubts in your judgments.

# '''Neutral''', but would lean towards support. Balistic is a good guy who already has admin and/or bureaucrat on multiple wikis. He has some code knowledge and can frequently be found fighting vandals, fixing broken things, tagging for deletion, and so on. The only concerns I have is that he wouldn't be my first choice for a "deal with sticky situation" admin, since I remember a few cases where things he posted unintentionally made a situation worse (not necessarily on GWW though, so meh). I also agree that knowledge of GWW-specific policy nuances and stuff is a bit spotty, but I think that's really easy to fix on-the-fly and am not much concerned about it.

# '''Neutral''' i have not seen you around as much as i should if you were going to be a sysop, and i also feel after going through ur edits that you need to know the policies better. - [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] [[User:Zesbeer|Zesbeer]] 04:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
# '''Neutral but leaning towards support''' If you can prove that you need sysop tools to do the things you want to do, and you want to limit your scope to wikicode/vandalism fighting etc, I will give you support. [[User:Pika Fan|Pika Fan]] 20:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
