Thank you very much, Neutrality. I accept the nomination. (For the curious: I have 4,000 edits or so.)

3 months + 4000 edits + good nature = my support. ;) --

Geogre 18:52, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC) Pretty clear eyed and even tempered, very trustworthy.
Jwrosenzweig 21:25, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC) Given Ben's intelligent contributions and wise perspective, I was sure he'd been here much longer than 3 months -- wholehearted support.
EDGE 07:01, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC) -- He jumped the gun on my edit of
Pirate Radio, and this displeased me, but he was very nice and friendly after he realized what a horrible mistake it all was. I like nice and friendly people.
Met Benc a number of times, and found a person with a good deal of initiative. Support all the way!

About damn time. I can hardly think of a better candidate for adminship.

Although I've seen nothing but good contributions from
Benc, he's only been active for two months despite signing up in December 2003. Moreover, most of his edits are minor "formatting" or "management" edits, such as adding categories. This isn't bad, of course; willingness to do such administative work indicates that
Benc will be a very productive administrator. But it prevents me from getting an comprehensive view of
Benc's dealings with content-related matters. As such, I am neutral.

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
2. Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?
A. Yes.
3. If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (
WP:VFD,
recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.
A. Responding to general requests for assistance. I would also like to help out with VFD maintenance if needed, and its oft-neglected sister pages (TFD, CFD, etc.)
4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
A. If I have to pick one, it would have to be
anarchist symbolism because it's grown the most, despite its being no stranger to controversy.
5. In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)
A. I do a fair bit of grunt work (disambig wikilinks, refactor talks, categorization, etc.). But my most visible contribution would probably be
Wikipedia:Guide to improving articles. Yeah, it's a little idealistic and introspective, but I like it all the same. :-)
6. 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 will deal with it in the future?
A. I don't shy away from controversial topics, just controversial edits. As a personal rule, I always stop editing and take it to the talk page after the first revert. The several times this has happened, I have never failed to reach a compromise within several days. I will continue to do so.
