Michaelsanders ( talk · contribs) - This is the first nomination I have ever made; so, if I fail to put the case convincingly, please recognise that the blame is mine and not the nominee's. Michaelsanders has been an editor since March 2006, and as at 1 November 2007 had amassed 11254 edits, which is neither sub-standard nor so impressive as to suggest editcountitis. I encountered Michael on the British history pages, where his contributions have been thoughtful and intelligent. I am not pretending that he is "Mr Perfect", as I see he has got himself into one or two disputes with other users (as will any wikipedian who really cares about what he/she is doing), but as far as I can see he has behaved with creditable restraint in these situations. I believe that any adverse situations he has found himself in will only have added to his all-round ability as a Wikipedian (as opposed to "just" an editor), as he has learned to deal with and accept criticism, for example in the naming dispute over Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence. I believe he shows a good understanding of wikipedia conventions and will come up trumps if given increased responsibility. Deb ( talk) 14:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC) reply
