Pastordavid ( talk · contribs) - My first interaction with Pastordavid was on the John 1:1 article, during a discussion as to whether and how it should be rewritten. I was highly impressed with his civility and helpfulness in resolving the issue [1], and modesty [2]. After seeing him around more often, it became clear that this is not an isolated instance at all, but is quite simply how he deals with other editors. His editor review shows that this opinion is shared by quite a few editors.
In mainspace contributions, his work has been stellar. He took the article on Maximus the Confessor, which looked like this when he started, and did a tremendous amount of work. The article is now a featured article, and while none of us work alone, his contributions were certainly the driving force. He has also done a good deal of work to John Chrysostom, currently a good article, and has helped in editing and cleaning up many others.
In project space, he has been a valuable contributor as well. While not a prolific vandal fighter, his reports to WP:AIV are appropriate and made after the vandals have been warned. He has also participated at WP:AFD. This standard stuff aside, he has also started a Wikiproject on Lutheranism, worked at the Eastern Orthodoxy WikiProject, successfully working on a collaboration and helping to resolve some copyright and GFDL issues with another Wiki specific to that subject, and helps other editors by providing third opinions and editor assistance. His contributions show a good understanding of policies and practices, and a great degree of civility and patience.
We can always use another administrator of Pastordavid's caliber. I hope that you will join me in supporting him. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:00, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply
