Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Absolutely. :D --Phroziac (talk) 21:01, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Support

  1. Support NOT just because username sounds like Prozac. --Cool Cat My Talk 20:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support. Andre (talk) 21:19, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  3. However, I suggest you remember the difference between IRC and the mailing list... :-) [[smoddy]] 21:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support Um, YES! Ryan Norton T | @ | C 21:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support. He's the kind of admin I wish I had been when I was his age (oh, wait, they didn't even have the web then, and wikis were only invented in ...). Anyway, I hope this endorsement doesn't attract a lot of oppose votes (oh, no, he hangs out with who?). Uncle Ed 21:51, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  6. Support He's not one already?! — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 22:25, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Support another one in a long line of candidates I thought were admins already... :) - ulayiti (talk) 22:36, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Support. I have known Phroziac in person for some time now via IRC, and also via his contributions on the wiki. He is a conscientious, pleasant, intelligent editor who has made a high level of contribution to the wiki in a comparatively short period of time. I am sure that Phroziac shall make excellent use of admin tools... and... I'm amazed he isn't one already :-) --NicholasTurnbull 23:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Support. For being an excellent Wikipedian and having a username that sounds like Prozac. Nufy8 00:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Support - Phroziac knows what he's doing, he knows how to do it and when, and he's got a lot of wiki-experience already. We need admins with the right balance of everything. Rob Church Talk | Desk 00:24, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Support. All-round good guy.  Denelson83  00:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Support— rolled back some of his contributions. Has been a consistent contributor. Also, his focus is on the 'dirty work' instead of simple editing. With the promotion, he could be better able to carryout his task.

    Journalist C./ Holla @ me!

  13. support DUDE! I was gonna do this next month! *shakes fist at Coolcat!* Aw well, great guy, blah blah, vote for him =) Sasquatch讲看 01:06, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  14. Support - seems solid enough. Evercat 02:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Support, thought he was already an admin. Jaxl | talk 02:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Supportize. Subjected the subject to one of my not-quite-infamous-yet grillings on wikipedia policy. He passes :-) Kim Bruning 03:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Support. A mature user who deserves the janitor's mop. ral315 03:39, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  18. Strong Support So, it's finally happened. :) Congrats. I just want to note that in addition to his contributions on Wikipedia, Phroziac also founded his own wiki. He has already had a taste of sysop rights over there. Acetic Acid (talk) 03:43, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  19. Support User:Nichalp/sg 03:58, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  20. Support, feydey 11:18, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Support. Quality of edits goes ahead of quantity. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. Oppose. I'd rather you had more edits. Try again at 1,500. (Yes, I realize I have 700) --WikiFan04 19:17, 30 Aug 2005 (CDT)

Neutral

Comments

  • 1070 edits. Andre (talk) 21:19, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • What does [[smoddy]]'s comment mean? I personally view both the mailing list and IRC as deeply inferior to posting a message somewhere on the Wiki. -Splash 21:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:smoddy talks rather encrypted and hence rarely make sense :P. I guess its something they know between each other... Yes I am fascinated with the obvious. --Cool Cat My Talk 22:02, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Heh. Well, a while back smoddy commented that I did not have to reply to every post on the list. I reply there a lot. ;) By the way, I don't think they are inferior, but they have much different purposes. IRC gets fast responses, and is mostly not about wikipedia, and the mailing list has a bigger audience then most talk pages. --Phroziac (talk) 23:23, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
      • So does that mean you'd prefer to sound out the mailing list to sounding out a page on the wiki somewhere? -Splash 23:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Hmm, no, not exactly. I actually don't start new threads on the mailing list that often, I usually just reply there. If it's about wikipedia in general, I'd post it on the list, and if it's about a page or a dozen, i'd post it on relevant talk pages somewhere. --Phroziac (talk) 00:03, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • 1070 is really light. The count doesn't matter so much to me, but it does indicate a lack of the type of experience I'd like to see. Can you point to at least some examples of your best contribution of material to articles? - Taxman Talk 23:21, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
    • Light? Hmm, I guess you could say that. I bet it'll be atleast 1150ish before this RFA closes. Anyway, I don't do that much in the way of big edits, I usually do smaller janitorial tasks, like copyediting, RC patrol, new page patrol (mmm copyvios...). I can't think of any examples at the moment, but I did fix 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane this morning, it said that they started using 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane in 1995, but they actually started sometime in the early 90s, and in 1995 Dichloridofluoromethane was banned.[1] I also know I saw some large unwikified lumps on new page patrol, and wikified those, but I can't find them in my contribs right now :) --Phroziac (talk) 01:13, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I've already been doing RC patrol for a while, the rollback button would be nice for that. Unfortunately I have dialup, and most of the time I try to revert, it gets reverted before my edit goes through! ugh! Delete would be nice too. And, block to get rid of those pesky vandals and other issues. I would excersize extreme caution with the latter two, however.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Not really, most of my contributions have been copyedits, RC patrol, and other somewhat minor edits, and i'm very pleased with all of them. :)
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. I haven't really had conflicts in editing, and I follow 1rr. -Ril-'s recent actions have caused me some stress, as have several vandals, such as Willy on Wheels, and that penis vandal (the one that puts pictures of penises everywhere, not the one that redirects my user page to penis...). Oh, and that whole 6th vfd of GNAA thing! None of it has really been major enough to do more then walk away for a while. Sometimes I have had to contact admins to deal with vandals, and sometimes I ask friends for opinions on things. In the future, I would pretty much do the same thing, except I have to assume the vandals will dislike me even more.
