#Good work around UAA, very clueful. '''[[User:Ceranthor|<font color="#2F4F4F" face="Century">ceran</font>]]'''[[User_talk:Ceranthor|<font color="#2F4F4F" face="Century">''thor''</font>]] 16:53, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support''' No research necessary - I've seen him around a lot, and he's been a valued editor everywhere, even when I didn't agree with him. <strong>[[User:RayAYang|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Ray</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:RayAYang|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 17:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support''' - honestly, I thought you were one already. I've seen plenty of good work from you and nothing that overtly concerns me (see also my comments by Caspian_blue's neutral !vote). I was also particularly impressed with your self-nom statement - it combines a very cogent justification for why you want admin tools with a very amusing style. Overall I've been consistently impressed and have no real concerns that you'd misuse admin tools. Good luck. ~ [[User:Mazca|<
#'''Strong support''' - I wonder what took him so long! He probably doesn't remember interacting with me, but we did once, and it left me the impression that he would be a good admin.

#'''Support''' Enthusiastic support, had a good impression from when seen you around (cliche but had thought you must already be an admin). Know of nothing to make me think you will misuse the tools.

::::No not him, the admin that I mistook has a name with different fruit. :) I reviewed the complaint more closely, and found less legitimate because the candidate did for NPOV.--[[User talk:Caspian blue|'''Caspian''' blue]] 00:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
:I am troubled by that ANI report. Mathsci, a respected editor, had some critical things to say there. It's odd that Skomorokh never responded there. Skomoroh, admins must be responsive to criticism. Can you explain why we should not see this as a potentially bad omen? --[[User:Goodmorningworld|Goodmorningworld]] ([[User talk:Goodmorningworld|talk]]) 15:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
::I had a look at that incident too; in the end the conclusion I came to was that it was rather overblown. My impression of Skomorokh's activities there was that at worst s/he was possibly taking a slightly too verificationist stance - the ANI report seemed premature and possibly based on personal disagreements; and the diffs provided to demonstrate a 3RR violation were ''seriously'' pushing the definition of a "revert". Skomorokh seemed, to me, to be removing the unreferenced PoV from the article rather than adding more; and cutting the content down to only that which was strictly supported by the sources. I'm not entirely sure Skomorokh behaved quite ideally there (a lucid response to the allegations at ANI probably would have helped, and perhaps a slow-down in editing while disagreements were settled) but ultimately I did not come to the conclusion that there was anything overtly bad going on. ~ [[User:Mazca|<
:::Yup, I was aware of that too, and I disregarded it. You can expect most people who come to RFA with 40k edits to have had some drama in their history (and if not, they aren't ready to be an admin because they're not venturing into controversial areas and hence lack relevant experience). In that case, I find the complaints against Skomorokh ill-founded, and his handling of drama by ignoring it rather appropriate.—[[User:S Marshall|<font face="Verdana" color="Maroon">'''S Marshall'''</font>]] [[User talk:S Marshall|<font color="Maroon" size="0.5"><sup>Talk</sup></font>]]/[[Special:Contributions/S Marshall|<font color="Maroon" size="0.5"><sub>Cont</sub></font>]] 17:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yo, sorry for not addressing this earlier. Mazca above nails the aspect of my approach that contributed to the problem; I could certainly have handled the matter better, not realising at the time the sensitivity of American race relations. I don't remember that particular ANI thread, though the initiator [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Skomorokh&diff=260336655&oldid=260331057 did notify me]. Of course, for an administrator, ignoring drama is not an option. The issue spawned multiple threads as I recall, including [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive503#Stormfront_.28website.29|this one]] in which I discussed the article with Mathsci. Cheers, [[user:Skomorokh|<span style="background: #222; color: #fff;"><font face="Goudy Old Style"> Skomorokh </font></span>]] 18:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
