{{User|Crockspot}} - joined Wikipedia well over a year ago and has over 6,000 edits. He is an active vandal fighter, reporting repeat offenders to appropriate noticeboards [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=149915544], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=148634494], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=148580440], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=147604232] and he is also a strong supporter of policies, especially [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fred_Thompson_controversies&diff=prev&oldid=143758543], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dick_Cheney&diff=prev&oldid=142666950], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons&diff=prev&oldid=142487828], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Skoppensboer&diff=prev&oldid=140226783], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:86.136.80.92&diff=prev&oldid=149610986] and reporting BLP issues at the [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|BLP noticeboard]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&offset=20070731032554&limit=250&action=history]. He has been involved in a number of discussions on articles that have very polemic views and has maintained a high level of civility in this situations. Crockspot is active on noticeboards [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=149966233], has participated in plenty of Afd discussions, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mark_Hucko_%282nd_nomination%29&diff=prev&oldid=148510464], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bush_Derangement_Syndrome_%282nd_nomination%29], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Post_Election_Selection_Trauma_%28second_nomination%29] and has been involved in an [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/NYScholar|arbitration case]] though only [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/NYScholar#Statement_by_Crockspot peripherally]. Crockspot is experienced across all namespaces and has helped us write the encyclopedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swift_Vets_and_POWs_for_Truth&limit=250&action=history], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeff_Gannon&limit=250&action=history], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Fire_Support_Base_Ripcord&action=history], adding appropriate refs and content, and started a number of articles such as [[Thomas Tate Tobin]], [[Julia Compton Moore]], [[Andre Lucas]] and [[FSB Ripcord]]. In the article [[Swift Vets and POWs for Truth]], Crockspot converted over 100 external links embedded in the text to inline referencing citations, checking each for accuracy. I definitely believe that giving Crockspot extra buttons would be beneficial to Wikipedia and it is my pleasure to nominate him. [[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 17:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''Support''', Level-headed, and was pivotal in getting [[WP:BLP]] working. A balanced, fair editor. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<font color="green">Georgia</font>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 20:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

#:<s>'''Support''' - [[User:Garion96|Garion96]] [[User talk:Garion96|(talk)]] 20:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)</s>

#:<s>'''Support''' Sounds dedicated and well-rounded, no reason not to trust. --[[User:Android Mouse|Android Mouse]] 21:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)</s> After reviewing the contributor's edits more thoroughly and reading some of the recent opposes, I'm deciding to withdraw my support. --[[User:Android Mouse|Android Mouse]] 02:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''Strong Support''' per the user's answer to Q5. This is exactly the frame of mind that I think is ideal for an admin working with AIV - The ability to apply judgment where judgment is needed rather than blindly follow a process. I am impressed.

#'''Support''' seems to be the ideal candidate for the mop. Only concern is the NPOV issues mentioned below, but by the very fact that they have been mentioned, I trust that these will remain minor and in the past. May the edit be with you --[[User:Bennyboyz3000|Bennyboyz3000]] 02:45, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
