Gb ( talk · contribs) - I've been giving much thought to nominating Gb (formerly Gilesbennett) to receive adminship for some time now, and this has been somewhat underlined by the seemingly daily interactions I have with Gb in administrative areas. His consistent and sustained positive approach to areas where contention issues may be high, especially in usernames for administrator attention for example, is highly encouraging and he deals in a correct manner with enquiries regarding issues about those he may have highlighted at UAA or for instance, helped those he may have welcomed to Wikipedia when they registered their account. Furthermore, Giles works extremely hard at the help desk and he has over 139 reports to the administrator intervention against vandalism noticeboard. That is especially impressive in consideration of his 3000+ deleted edits (mainly in CSD), which means he has compiled over 8100 edits, for those who may have issues with edit counts and the like. I know some people here will have problems with the relatively low mainspace edit count, but I am sure that speaking for myself and on behalf of Giles, that this issue could easily be quashed by the amazing dedication he puts into communicating with others (see user talk section + this display of attempting to work with the editors here) and the reflection of outstanding dedication in those places that don't come up on the interiot tool, like articles for deletion (where he taught something new to another editor) and the suspected sockpuppets submission board where he gave a characteristic second opinion in the interests of the report and the closing administrator, is simply amazing. He is my tenth candidate to be nominated, and I am comfortable in the knowledge that this RFA should pass with flying colours. Rudget . 14:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC) reply
