In just a short time,
Grunt has become an invaluable member of the Wikipedia community, helping with the cleanup and general maintenance and involving himself with policy discussions. With over 2,100 edits, he knows the 'pedia well, and will, I believe, be an excellent sysop.

WHAT? Grunt is not already a sysop?! Along with mav, he's one of the hardest working users we have here. [[User:Neutrality|

I wholeheartedly support. Grunt has been an invaluable addition to Wikipedia. I was incredibly suprised when I first saw his contributions, since I assumed that he had been here for much longer! However, regardless of his time at Wikipedia, he has proven to be a great asset. -

I too am quite impressed.
chaotic good is the only way to be in life, LOL.

T@lk 12:53, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC) (Considering my comments on IRC prompted Danny to nominate Grunt, my vote will count double, won't it?) Grunt's RC Patrol and community work confirms he'll make a splendid admin.
Highly deserving. He also passed my patented personality test. -

Ha, I was going to nominate him this week myself after seeing his tireless RC patrol work, Danny beat me to it by a couple of days. —

A thoroughly appropriate username nobody can object to. Like Stormie, I was looking forward to nominating him, though I was waiting until he'd at least been here three months. Still, has already done enough to show he would make a good admin. --

Strong support, based solely on seeing his speedy tags--one of the most prolific taggers, and they're always unquestionably deletable. When Grunt becomes an admin, the number of articles that I end up deleting will drop by close to half.

A totally horrible 45th level thief mage with tailor made special items not found in the original Baldurs Gate.... Oh, yes. By all means. We need more grunts.

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. I'm here on a daily basis, and am already doing most of the things I'd be doing as a sysop (see below).
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. I'd be patrolling RC, making speedy deletions and reverting/blocking vandals as needed; I'd watch
WP:RFPP and do something with that as well.
4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
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'm a grunt worker. I do RC patrol already, marking
SDCs and reverting/reporting vandals, and issuing welcomes to new users.
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?
It has come to my attention that Grunt is incredibly smart. This leads me to question his suitability as an admin. If we promote him, will he attempt to take over the Wikipedia? Will this create tension with the rest of us admins, who will feel profoundly inferior? I don't know the answers to these questions. But seriously, congratulations must go to Grunt. :) -
