''Result: Candidate promoted to admin.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:16, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Obi-Have (talk &bull; contribs &bull; edit count)
As a Bureaucrat election has been started, I would like to formally open my request for sysop powers, to fill the shoes of whichever of the candidates becomes a beauracrat. Since my rollback request, less than two months ago, I have tripled my editcount to 1200 edits in mainspace and file, racking up over 20 badges and 2 awards, a collection which I take immense pride in. Over the last two months alone I have started a line of pages on Robot Wars Staff, as well as beginning a line of pages on the incarnations of the Robot Wars Arena. I am in the process of sorting out a detailed history of the sport of combat robotics, which, upon its completion, will be by far the longest article on the wiki.

Besides my contributions to mainspace wiki, I also pride myself in my part in restoring some of the community to Robot Wars Wiki. The introduction of the chat feature has become a great place for idle chat between wikians, and I certainly believe that I have got to know certain other people very well, and I like to think that if the situation would arise, I could use my moderation powers effectively. As well as this, I spearheaded the drive to restore the defunct arena forum, which is now as popular as it ever was.

As an admin, I like to think that I could step up my role in certain areas, and provide relief to other admins, who occasionally become overburdened. In my present state as a dilligent wiki edit checker but slow contributer I feel that there is little that I can do, as I cannot deal with vandels, or with wrongly-named files to give two examples, in a way I would like too.

Congratulations I've you've sifted through the waffle and reached the end. I truly hope you consider me a worthy candidate, and that I can step up to the plate left by the new Bureaucrat. Matt (Talk) 15:47, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * Support: To be honest, there's no real need to "replace" the new bureaucrat because there are very few additional powers involved and that person would still be an administrator just as before. However, I do feel there is a need for an additional administrator as most of the ones we have are currently very inactive. I've followed your progress as a user very closely and I cannot fault your enthusiasm, diligence and dedication to the wiki for the reasons you have described. I also have total trust that you would use your admin powers responsibly and do your best to keep the wiki running smoothly. As you can no doubt tell, you have my full support.

 * Strong Support: I support this unequivocaly, you are proving to be an excellent member, and I, like Christophee feel you would use your powers wisely and responsibly. I'm not one of longer writeups as some of the others are - but, following my observations of how you've excelled as a user already on the wiki, you have my total support. Best of luck.

 * Strong Support I see no reason to oppose and I'm glad someone is taking up the slack.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  22:14, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
