{{User|Snowolf}} - This is an exemplary user. His contributions are endless, and is one of those users who is long overdue an RfA (reminiscent of [[User:Daniel|Daniel]], some months ago). He has been of massive help to me with the administration of [[WP:NPW|NPWatcher]], and unfailingly is willing to give his assistance at the slightest indication of need. Constantly polite to newbies, he is also an accomplished vandal fighter, with probably hundreds of reports to WP:AIV, and is certainly very fair to those who would see fit to cause harm to the project - attempting to encourage them to improve before going down the road of reporting. All of my interactions with this user have been positive, and I have never had any cause to doubt his suitability as a potential administrator, yet have been overwhelmed with reasons that he should be promoted. I'm sure that I don't need to go on. If, for any reason, you have any doubt, his contributions are but a click away. Thanks, [[User:Martinp23|Mart]]'''[[User_talk:Martinp23|inp23]]''' 20:51, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

::'''A.''' It was in the middle of the Essjay controversy. After posting some opinions () in the straw poll that there was at the time, I went to bed. Then I thought... wait, you can post a barnstar or something on his talk, it may be appreciated in such a time. So the next morning, when I had a minute free, I posted the barnstar. The barnstar stated that I thanked him for his "valueless contributions". A user pointed out on my talk page that probably there was a misunderstanding and I mean something else (I did voted in favor of Essjay keeping his flags in the straw poll). When I got back home, I have realized that I've been blocked and filed an unblock request explaining that I didn't realized that valueless meant without any value, but thought, well, countless isn't necessary good, as the edit count doesn't matter much, so I thought countless "that cannot be counted" → valueless "that their value cannot be judged".

::I think that the blocking admin should have checked my edits before blocking me, my last edits were to the straw poll, where, even with reservation, I supported Essjay (so it wasn't much likely that then I go and posted such an incivil message to his talk), and with the suggestion made by another user that I may have made such an error typing valueless instead of countless, a block wasn't helping much.

*I wish that editors would note that answering the ''optional'' questions is ''optional'', and probably shouldn't result in an automatic oppose.

Either a user knows policy or doesn't, contributed to the encyclopedia or hasn't, and the result of conflicts should be glaring obvious in talk archives. Questions are not a big deal.

*:Yes, and your precedent cited below is perfectly acceptable... if the candidate doesn't answer at all, but answering the questions with the original, fairly nonexistant answers is pretty much shooting yourself in the foot. If the candidate doesn't wish to answer them, thats fine, but once they put some nice little one liners up, that is what will be judged, and they become answered questions, not optional ones.

#'''Strong Support''' - (edit conflict) Although I agree with JetLover that more fleshed-out answers would be appreciated, based on his actions on Wikipedia there is no doubt in my mind that Snowolf both needs and can be trusted with the tools. While I understand that article writing may be a desired trait in an admin who intends to take part in conflict resolution and other areas where they might benefit from experience in collaboration and compromise, this user is primarily focused on vandal fighting and deletion discussions, both of which are vital to the project and both of which he performs very well, as evidenced by his [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Snowolf&namespace=3 user talk warnings] and comments in XfD discussions. His answer about "finding admins" may be made clearer by a visit to [[User:Snowolf/Admin_scout]], and I believe his high number of AIV reports (111) and participation in [[WP:UCFD]] are both desirable traits in a candidate who wants to take on the admin tasks that he has noted above. I might also point out his position as a moderator for [[WP:VPRF]] speaks to his dedication not only to vandal fighting but to the project as a whole. --'''[[User:jonny-mt|jonny-mt]]'''<sup>('''[[User_talk:jonny-mt|t]]''')</sup><sub>('''[[Special:Contributions/jonny-mt|c]]''')</sub><small>[[Wikipedia:Editor_review/jonny-mt|I'm on editor review!]]</small> 06:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
