Matthewfarenheit

I would like to nominate Matthewfarenheit for sysop status. Matthew is one of the older wiki users still active. And in his time here he has made several thousand edits. He has a good track record maintaining this wiki as one of the more newbie friendly editors. I've asked him and he is still open for becoming a sysop. So he fits all the technical prerequisites for becoming a sysop.

Over his time here he has shown an a great commitment to improving and maintaining this wiki. And while trying to do just that his interpretations sometimes put him at odds with a certain segment of the administrators. With the changes in the sysop line-up and the differences in moderation style that brought, those disagreement are less likely to be as unproductive as they were. So that leaves him as a very productive and knowledgeable editor who could contribute even more to this wiki with the extra possibilities that the responsibilities of a sysop bring. I have full confidence that matthew would prove a valuable sysop.--Vista ⁺¹ 18:56, 2 June 2007 (BST)

I accept the nomination just because a guy like Vista started it, but I feel like it may be too soon. Anyways, just cast your votes, and we'll see if I'm right or wrong. --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 19:06, 2 June 2007 (BST)

7. Vouch - this guy consistently helps out without having super powers, and I think he can handle the great responsibility we sysops have. --Darth Sensitive ^W! 00:57, 3 June 2007 (BST)
8. Against - He has the tendency to fly off the handle for no reason, and his grasp of the English language is tenuous at best.--Gage 01:04, 3 June 2007 (BST)
9. Against - Has an agenda. I don't think he's a good choice for several reasons beyond that, but blah blah blah what's the point.--Jorm 01:20, 3 June 2007 (BST)
10. Vouch - All in favor, say aye. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:27, 3 June 2007 (BST)

15. Vouch - Seen him do a lot of good for this wiki. --Antipathy 06:56, 3 June 2007 (EST)
16. Vouch - I may have just signed up a few weeks ago, but I've been watching the kids here on the wiki for a while. Matt would be a great, newb-friendly sysop. Besides, if it turns out the power turns him to the dark side, we can always beat him into submission with a rat-flail ^^. A dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 03:09, 4 June 2007 (BST) (By the way, thanks for the user page layout. It saved me the trouble of making my own. :P)
17. Vouch - As the part about the rat-flail by Suicidal Angel. But also because I belive that he is ready (and has been for a while now) to handle the responsibility. - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD CT SR: 04:34, 4 June 2007 (GMT)}
18. Vouch - From what I've seen, he's been a good boy these last few months. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 13:59, 4 June 2007 (BST)

21. Vouch -Sounds like the right kind of guy. --Ktut 16:32, 4 June 2007 (BST)

23. Vouch - Look, I'll give ya the keys, but don't crash the car. --User:Axe27/Sig 00:49, 6 June 2007 (BST)
24. Against - I've seen him around and most everytime I see him he is insulting someone in someway.--karek 04:48, 7 June 2007 (BST)
25. Against-As karek. He is a good person, but I'm not sure about giving him the keys.--ShadowScope 17:00, 7 June 2007 (BST)
26. Vouch - Conndraka^{mod TDHPD CFT} 09:42, 8 June 2007 (BST)
27. Against - I think he has probably made some good contribution to the UD wiki, but he has a poor taste in humour, and inconsistant logic - so I can't vote for him. armareum 14:28, 8 June 2007 (BST)
28. (V)Ouch - He may bathe in drama, he may scream at the psyops, and he may barely speak English, but by God he's a better wiki editor than me, he loves those poor newbs, and he's been far, far overdue for this. It's about fething time.-Lachryma^☭ 17:46, 8 June 2007 (BST)
