#:::{{u|Carrite}}, you know the answer yourself. In the same manner that I can unabashedly say that I adore your contributions and effort to improve Wikipedia (you know that already), I can say that not everyone, including Rob (and least of all editors like me), understands Wikipedia and its culture as good as experienced editors like you or Wehwalt or Brian do. New editors through their various experiences try to learn how to interact with other editors. If you trawl my contributions (even just a month ago), I've managed to make a fool of myself and quite easily. It was a lesson for me which hopefully improved me. I am confident that Rob too has had these experiences and has become a better communicator than he was during those days. Rest, I will leave to your judgement, because whatever you do decide, I'm very confident that would be a right judgement.

#::::Being a mature Wikipedain is very different than being a mature person. Maturing as a person can indeed take more than a year, for some more than a lifetime. Maturing as a Wikipedian in a year is very doable for an intelligent and already mature person. <small>[[User talk:HighInBC|<b style="color:Green">HighInBC</b>]] <small>^{Need help?

#'''Neutral''' for now per the interaction between Rob and [[User:Flyer22 Reborn ]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=716803180&diff=prev here]. I took my time thinking this one over because of the relative newness of this editor and some of the legitimate concerns raised by the !oppose votes from users I respect. I can see both sides, as I've seen some users dive in pretty fast and establish competence after nothing but previous wikignoming as an IP, and yet other new users seem oddly precocious. I guess my own view is that I don't see Rob engaging in the drama-mongering typical of the usual returned user so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not at all bothered by the "hanging" remark above; frankly, he made a very good point that should have been well-taken and in the world of tone-deaf wikipedians, an ability to have a bit more sensitivity and thoughtfulness is a plus. At the end of the day, I hope that Rob will be aggressive enough in looking at SPI cases should he come across one, given that he is a bit sensitized to the issue. Sock-hunting is a game of [[whack-a-mole]] sometimes, but it is needed and there there is an art to it—the science doesn't always have the perfect formula.

#:<s>'''Neutral, leaning support'''(moved from support).</s> (moved back to support) After seeing the close as an involved editor, YITYNR's comment about not having a talk page after 7 months, and similar difficulties, I'll have to move to neutral for now. <font face="monospace">'''[[User:Chickadee46|Chickadee46]] ([[User talk:Chickadee46|talk]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Chickadee46|contribs]]) ([[WP:MCW]])'''</font> 15:50, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

#:Why would YITYNR's lack of a talk page after 7 months have any bearing whatsoever on Rob's suitability for adminship? [[User:Caeciliusinhorto|Caeciliusinhorto]] ([[User talk:Caeciliusinhorto|talk]]) 18:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
