Eagle 101 ( talk · contribs) – (co-nom Martinp23, AmiDaniel, SynergeticMaggot, and Lar)
Martinp23 - A great user who fully deserves the extra buttons and responsibility and who would certainly make great use of them. An avid Vandalfighter (VP moderator) and fanatic Wikipedia improver, Eagle has been with us since December 2005, amassing nearly 9 months of editing and 8214 edits, which indicates to me trhat he is extremely experienced. Eagle has authored WikiVoter, which will simplfy the process of voting on, and closing AfD's (and other votes discussions (like XfD and maybe RfA)). As such, he knows the processes involved in article deletion inside out, and his helpful personality guarantees that he'll always pass on his knowledge to those who need it. Eagle has co-headed a couple of wikipedia projects -
Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfD_closing which aims to prevent (uninformed) repeat AfD's and
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_removal, which aims to remove redundant stub tags from articles which are no longer stubs. Eagle is always quick to help, both on IRC and on wikipedia itself, giving many users lots of help starting out with VP, helping users with other problems, however small, and welcoming users (both anons and registered). All of the above features make Eagle a conscientious, kind, helpful wikipedian who will not hesitate to fight vandalism and do whatever he can to improve Wikipedia.

Lar - I am nominating Eagle101 first and foremost because he's a toolsmith. We need more admins that are good with creating tools to help us all do our jobs better. I have encountered him many times and he is always courteous, thoughtful and helpful. He rarely gets in conflicts but when he does, has shown coolheadedness and thoughtful responses. He's also a Wikipedia:wikignome with lots of experience cleaning things up and making things flow better. If you look at his contribs you'll see what I saw... someone with a great record who is ready for the mop. It gives me great pleasure to co-nominate this fine candidate++ Lar: t/ c 23:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC) reply
SynergeticMaggot. I cant even begin to count the times Eagle_101 has helped me, newbies, and seasoned editors through IRC (leading to WP:HD and the helpme bot). His skills in technical matters have confirmed a very strong belief that he would never abuse the tools. SynergeticMaggot 01:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC) reply
AmiDaniel - Wow, talk about stacking on the co-noms =D. Eagle and I go back a long, long way, and it is with great honor that I get to be his fourth co-nominator. Frankly, I'm not sure there's much I need to say about Eagle_101 -- if you've had any interaction with him, you must clearly know that he'd make an excellent, excellent administrator, and if you haven't had any interaction with him, then what are you doing voting on his RfA? He's one of the hardest-working Wikipedians I've ever encountered, eagerly taking on the most tedious tasks, such as organizing and archiving VP's bug, discussion, suggestions, and abuse pages and--well, now that I think about it--pretty much completely managing the entire VP project. I believe he's responded to and dealt with more bugs and problems users have had with the app than even I have, and I'm persistently amazed by both his ability and patience to deal with new and confused Wikipedians. He practically lives in #wikipedia-bootcamp, a channel that's always been quite frightening to me, dealing with some of the most difficult individuals Wikipedia has to offer--both those who have no clue what they're doing and those enraged that their artcles have been deleted or that they've been blocked, etc.--and consistently he responds to their concerns in a civil, practical, and professional manner, pointing them to relevant policies and forums. And yet while he's excellent at providing help, he's also not afraid to ask for help when he needs it or is unsure of something, a quality which many, such as myself, do not possess.
Despite all the time that Eagle has invested in my various projects and in helping new users with their problems, he also invests a great deal of time into a plethora of other projects, many of which are his own. He recently began developing WikiVoter, an application that I'm beta-testing, and I have to say that, although it's an app I likely won't use much, it's very well-written, even in its early development stage, and quite useful. This program, I believe, demonstrates that he possesses tremendous technical skill, understanding of how Wikipedia works (both from a technical and political point of view), patience, and diligence, all of which are highly important qualities in an administrator. He's also recently begun a quite ambitious stub-sorting project, seeking the help of many experienced users and developing a variety of scripts to aid him in this task. As his project progressed, he continually displayed all of the traits I've previously mentioned, as well as his ability to lead and organize.
Yes, as I said, anyone who knows Eagle knows that he would make an excellent administrator. In all situations and circumstances, he has demonstrated his civility, helpfulness, diligence, intelligence, professionality, sense, and, before all else, his ability to be one of Wikipedia's best administrators, and I have no doubt that with all his shiny new buttons, he will do nothing but continue to impress me. Not only does Eagle_101 deserve the tools, but Wikipedia will be a much, much better place with his name on Special:Listusers/sysop. </rant> AmiDaniel ( talk) 08:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC) reply
