Final (55/0/0); Ended 16:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
SB Johnny ( talk · contribs) - I bring you a farmer/horticulturalist/gardener who could benefit the community and find some uses for the tools. I first met Johnny when I wandered on to Wikibooks just over a year ago. He was patient and helpful with me as a newbie and I have seen him the same with many since. He is a 'crat on Wikibooks as well as a CheckUser (nominated by me), a custodian (admin) on Wikiversity and a CheckUser and an active admin on Commons. From this it should be clear that he is a highly trusted Wikimedian. He deals with challenging situations firmly and is always open to comments from others. You can find his contributions with these links, Commons contribs, Wikiversity contribs, Wikibooks contribs.
His main focus on Wikibooks is is A Wikimanual of Gardening, on Wikiversity he has worked on and promoted the Bloom Clock project while on Commons he is an active part of WikiProject Tree of Life. Having admin rights here would help with a number of issues regarding his cross wiki work. The transwiki'ing of files from en wp to en wb can raise issues particularly with copyright - this may require Johnny get hold of an en wp admin to check on deleted edits etc. Equally there are issues with images copied to Commons and then deleted, access to teh original material via deleted edits would allow verification of copyright for example. Custodianship on en wv is done on a mentoring basis and access to deleted edits here would again be useful in evaluating those requesting rights there. Finally Johnny is a very capable & experienced vandal fighter who with CU access on two project often finds cross wiki vandals and would then be able to deal with them. He is frequently available on IRC to help if needed.
I have every confidence that Johnny would make a useful addition to the admins here and I hope others will look on this nomination favourably -- Herby talk thyme 13:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC) reply
