Thebainer (
talk·contribs) – Thebainer is one of those Wikipedians who seem to have been around since the mists of wiki time; in actuality, he has been with us (as a registered user) since October 2004. In that time he has made many comprehensive contibutions, with much of Wikipedia's coverage of Australian law, politics and (specifically, Indigenous) history owing to his work. At the community level, bainer is extensively active and demonstrates a sound knowledge of policy and good practice. Moreover, as can be seen from
his contributions, he is a prolific 'welcomer' and imparts invaluable advice to newbies and 'oldies' alike. I'm sure that most will be surprised, as I was, that bainer is not already an admin; it's about time he was.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
Strong support. I'm surprised he isn't already an admin - having recently met the chap, I can report that he is a dedicated and enthusiastic editor, with an excellent knowledge of the wikiverse.

Support. Should've been an admin months ago; I really should check to make sure people like him actually get nominated when they deserve it. Kudos to Cyberjunkie for seeing that that happens.

Support. Now that I have met Bainer and he knows what I look like, it may not be wise/safe to vote against him. Fortunately, he is a very good contributer who will probably be an excellent admin. --

A. Dealing with vandalism is something I would like to do more of, and the rollback feature would help me expand patrolling past the confines of my watchlist. I would also be interested in helping out at pages such as
Requested moves, and anywhere else my help is requested.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I started the
WikiProject Australian law, and I have made a number of contributions to articles in that field, such as
Commonwealth v Tasmania. I've done a few biographies on Australian politicians and other personalities,
Juanita Nielsen for example. My favourite articles are the ones for which I've had the opportunity to do some historical research, such as
Myall Creek massacre and
Batman's Treaty. Writing new articles is certainly my favourite wiki-activity.
3. 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 how will you deal with it in the future?
A. I was peripherally involved in the
Internodeuser arbitration, mainly as a third party who tried to resolve the dispute. I've also tried to step in to resolve a few debates between editors, on
Talk:Armenian Genocide and
Talk:Batman's Treaty, for example. I much prefer to resolve issues on talk pages before they spill over elsewhere and it becomes necessary to explore other avenues. I don't tend to generate much conflict myself.
