==Plot==

The towing of Naval munition vessels is a very important job indeed. One such vessel in particular, a tramper named Krakatoa, is being towed by Hercules. All is fine until Bluenose, the Navy tug, comes along. Uppity Bluenose says that Hercules may not continue on until he has made an inspection. Hercules steams off, finished with the run, ignoring him.

:''Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:''

Hercules speaks to O.J., who tells him how munitions and fuel are being loaded aboard the same ship, which is very dangerous. Bluenose comes by, still being overbearingly bossy, before moving on to bothering the Fire Chief too.

<!--The candidate may make an optional statement here-->

At the Star Pier, Captain Star informs the tugs they will be carrying munitions for the Navy the Z Stacks having the explosives! Warrior is given garbage detail, Top Hat is to transport car floats, Ten Cents is sent to Lucky’s Yard to pick up oil to take to the Naval yard and Sunshine is to pick up Mighty Moe, to take home. Captain Star thanks Big Mac for winning the steel contract, and tells him to collect the last girder barge.

====Questions for the candidate====

The Z Stacks, meanwhile, are picking up the explosives, which are to be delivered to the Naval tramper, Krakatoa.

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. You may wish to answer the following <u>optional</u> questions to provide guidance for participants:

:'''1.''' What admin work do you intend to take part in?

::'''A:''' To patroll in new or editing favored articles like (avatar, naruto, and bleach)

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

Ten Cents, now with the oil barge, is ordered about by Bluenose, who says to move out of the way. Bluenose purposely scrapes the barge, which makes Ten Cents very cross indeed.

::'''A:''' The Air Nomad article an avatar.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

Night falls. Big Mickey the crane is transferring the munitions to Krakatoa. Bluenose arrives, and starts his rot. He says the barge which is being unloaded should be moved, which would be a very wrong thing to do. Bluenose listens to no-one, and ends up bumping the barge hard, disturbing the munitions, resulting in a fire starting. The tugs present make sure to stay out of the way, but Bluenose can’t because his engine has failed, from shock. Ten Cents bravely tows him out of the danger zone. The fire continues, explosions going off all the while. Big Mickey is caused to collapse by the blasts. Then KRAKATOA catches fire.

::'''A:'''Yes with a article with avatar the last airbender and the date was disputed.

====General comments====

Further away, Top Hat is towing Frank and Eddie, the rail floats. They see the lights in the sky. Eddie thinks there is “a dockside celebration”. Top Hat says, “If there was a party, I would have been invited.” Suddenly, the Fire Chief rushes by, on the way to the fire.

====Discussion====

Puffa, the steam powered tank engine, hasn’t noticed the goings-on, and is right in the way. The tugs shout to warn him, and he makes it out of there just in the nick of time. Then the star line oil barge catches fire and Ten Cents jumps in to move it, but is this too risky a move?

*

Nearby, Warrior and Lord Stinker, the garbage barge, see the lights in the sky too. Warrior leaves Lord Stinker, and rushes to the scene.

'''Support'''

The Fire Chief has now finally arrived, ordering everyone to stay back. O.J. informs how it was Bluenose’s fault. The Fire Chief tells Sunshine to douse the flames with the fire barge. Ten Cents continues with the oil barge, to push it out to sea. Warrior arrives, and is told by the Fire Chief to use his fire hose. Warrior goes to do just that. Sunshine bravely fights the fire, while Warrior is hit square in the face by a bit of debris! The Fire Chief insists he move out, but Warrior sticks to his place, saying how he is looking after Puffa, who has been badly stung. The Fire Chief understands. He then tells Zorran to help him with the other fire barge in an atempt to save Krakatoa and Zorran agrees . Then there is a large explosion. Sunshine is worried Ten Cents was in the blast. The Fire Chief relieves Zorran and then KRAKATOA sinks into the water with one last blast out of her smokestack. But thanks to Sunshine and Warrior, the fire did not spread. Top Hat arrives, saying, “Oh dear. Seems I’m too late to save the day. What a pity.” The Z Stacks then Make fun Of Top Hat.

'''Oppose'''

The next morning, the tugs think Ten Cents did not make it. But soon enough, a familiar toot is heard in the near distance and then appears Ten Cents! And with that, Grampus tows a disgraced Bluenose (Still stunned) away. Then Captain Star gives a lesson on how fires are dangerous while Grampus is still hauling bluenose out of the port.

#Hi Coallen, sorry, but you haven't got enough edits to show you have the required experience to be an administrator. The community need to be sure you can be trusted. If I was you, I'd comment on some [[WP:AFD|deletion debates]] and get involved in some wikipedia policy matters. Also, editing articles really helps to grasp the [[WP:N|notability]] criteria which is essential for admins when they are deciding whether to delete articles or not. You do a really good job however so keep up the excellent work :-) [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|'''<font color="#000088">Ry<font color="#220066">an<font color="#550044"> P<font color="#770022">os<font color="#aa0000">tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font>''']] 16:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

#Have to agree with the above. It looks like you're genuinely itnerested in helping the project out, but for the duties you've listed above you don't really need the extra admin tools. As mentioned above, get a little more experience under your belt with policy and related tasks, get a little more familiar with the project and try again. But definitely keeup wup the good work.

==Notes==

#'''Oppose''' per lack of edits, plus the fact that you couldn't even set this up on your own. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship%2FArmedblowfish&diff=136080838&oldid=136078213 1], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship%2FFvasconcellos&diff=136079495&oldid=136071630 2], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship&diff=prev&oldid=136081312 3]. I also think that you're the one who signed Frye2387's name under support. According to his contributions he's never commented on an RFA before, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Fyre2387 4]. '''[[User:Black Harry|<span style="color:black">BH</span>]]''' [[User Talk:Black Harry|(Talk)]] 16:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

*First appearance of Bluenose And the Final appearance of Krakatoa.

#:Fine, if you insist on readding this, have you got something constructive to say to the candidate instead of just [[WP:BITE|biting]] their head off? [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|'''<font color="#000088">Ry<font color="#220066">an<font color="#550044"> P<font color="#770022">os<font color="#aa0000">tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font>''']] 16:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

*Last appearance of Big Mickey because he fell and died in shallow water after the dock he was based on exploded and collasped.

#::Please explain why I'm newbie biting. Clearly he's been here for 4 more months than I have. And plus, I think the fact that he couldn't set this up right shows he might not be the best person to trust with tools. And he did sign another user's name under support, but someone removed it. '''[[User:Black Harry|<span style="color:black">BH</span>]]''' [[User Talk:Black Harry|(Talk)]] 16:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

*This episode featured Big Mickey's second and final major speaking appearance.

#:::Yeah I removed. A new user does not understand how wikipedia works, they do not understand what is required for adminship, so if somebody comes along with a ''super-wicked oppose'' - it is not helping the candidate whatsoever, and has servere civiity issues attached to it. Offer the candidate some advice, don't lay into them.

*This episode introduces among the only 6 deaths in the entire series ([[Krakatoa]] , Big Mickey. )

#::::You know, I've been here six weeks, so who's to say your not [[WP:BITE|Biting]] me for speaking my mind in a discussion. And please do not post on my talk page without reading my rebuttals of your points first. '''[[User:Black Harry|<span style="color:black">BH</span>]]''' [[User Talk:Black Harry|(Talk)]] 16:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

*At the end of the episode - Captain Starr ([[Patrick Allen]]) gives a very important message to the program's viewers about fire safety - this was a first for [[TUGS]].

#:::::With all due respect, if you start biting users then you've got to expect to take what comes with it.....

*Cameos by Zip and zug, although Mighty Moe and Captain Zero were mentioned

#Sorry coallen, but I have to oppose. What you have done so far looks good, but there are a number of things you need to do to be considered at RfA:A) Edit! Many users will automatically oppose if your edit count is low, so that is likely, nay, ''is'' one of the largest things you need to do. B) Get involved in debates at [[WP:XFD]]. Admin work is mostly about deletion and such vandal fighting, so users need to know that you are committed to this never ending duty. C) Get your edit summary usage up. Though it may not be the most important thing, users who comment here often look at this category. I'd suggest that you go to [[Special:Preferences]] and click the box that forces you to make an edit summary. This will serve as a handy reminder, and it makes your edits look more professional. Best of luck! --[[user:teh tennisman|<font color="SteelBlue" face="verdana">tennis</font>]][[user talk:teh tennisman|<font color="ForestGreen" face="verdana">man</font>]] 16:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

* watch clip [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW_iagZgxhA.]

# '''Oppose'''. Really sorry about this, but we need admins who use the edit summary a bit more than you do, so we know what they are doing exactly. Secondly, your edit count is a tad low at the moment, come back when you've got a fair few more, and others may change their vote, cos some people base their vote on edit count alone, which I think is a bit like editcountitis, for the simple reason we need experienced admins who have a lot of experience editing, AND who are more than capable of handling the tools. So, I look for involvement in debates, like RFAs, among a few. Also, being an admin is being given a mop, not an award. This means you will be involved in a lot of maintainance work. Also, you say that you will just patrol new articles, which can be done by any editor. My advice to you would be to withdraw this request, then come back later, when you meet some of these criteria. Any questions can go on my talk page.

* A clip from the TV broadcast with narration saying Big Mickey fell in shallow water [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WueosuUCtx0&mode=user&search=].

#'''Oppose'''. I'm going to have to agree with Ryan on this one. You need to have a good enough experience so the community knows that they can trust you. Participate in those particular areas, otherwise, you're doing some good work here. Keep it up! '''[[User:Sr13|Sr]][[User talk:Sr13|13]]''' 17:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

* Krakatoa's model has the basis of Nantucket, but in lighttime when Bluenose came to Hercules, it's white. The possibility of the model being changed might be true.

'''Neutral'''

* This episode shows zorran as to presumably having a good streak.
