As Human has 'cratted him without a vote, I am putting it to a vote here per procedure. — Unsigned, by: Gooniepunk2010 / talk / contribs 19:26, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- I have promoted this user to sysop while we are debating this issue.--BobSpring is sprung! 20:09, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was gonna suggest that. ħuman 22:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Yea!
- He's done a very good job creating and expanding articles here, such as cryonics. Hell, I'd even say he'd make a better 'crat than myself. Gooniepunk2010 Oi! Oi! Oi! 19:26, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Because he's cool. And a 'crat at Wikipedia, so we know he's responsible. And other stuff. --The Emperor Kneel before Zod! 22:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not actually a 'crat at Wikipedia! But I've been a sysop for years and have been demoted high into the bitchocracy of the Foundation and stuff and stuff - David Gerard (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Strikes me as a strong asset to the community and the sort of person who can handle the whip and reins with dignity and respect, unlike some of us. ħuman 22:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done more for this site in a few months than I have in over a year. If it's an issue of "too many crats" I'll give my cratness to him. SJ Debaser 22:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Yea: I disagree with RA as a general rule. - π 23:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Nay!
- Nay. Why do we need more crats? If it is a "reward" for being a RW user there are others who have been around longer.--BobSpring is sprung! 19:29, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Agree with Bob, honestly. Has David requested this himself, for a specific reason, or is it Human just being, well, Human? I'd say nay based on both that, and because I'm generally opposed to Human pulling this kind of unilateral crap. --Kels (talk) 20:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Nay: I've added "candidate has expressed desire to be a bureaucrat and can provide a somewhat good reason why they should be given the tools" to my criteria. -- Nx / talk 21:07, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not yet Good work and fun guy so far, but let's see how he does over a longer time. Totnesmartin (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- Nay Agree with all of the above points. Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 23:00, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Goat!
- We either need to define more specific criteria for bureaucrats and act according to that, or we can cratify anyone who's been around for a while (and I'm tempted to start a few nominations, because I do believe some people deserve it at least as much as David Gerard does). We have enough crats is not a good enough reason to say no. -- Nx / talk 20:06, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- I have no idea what we look in bureaucrats, and I've been here for a long time and am not one myself. I'm not opposed to this in principle, but I'm not for it either. Šţěŗĭļė lemming 22:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Drink!
- I had a pint of something at the Pembury last week that purported to be a 6% mild. Steve (the owner) assured me this wasn't an oxymoron. Verr' niiiiisssssshe *splat* - David Gerard (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- More seriously: I have no idea what I'd do with 'crat powers. I'm specifically not requesting them but not rejecting them; I will consent to being drafted. (This is not me being some sort of Nick Clegg, I've just had enough volunteer jobs that I say things like that now.) If they are inflicted upon me, I will probably serve well and probably won't accidentally set things on fire or cause terrible attacks of headless chickens to descend - David Gerard (talk) 22:50, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
On a more important note....
Why am I not a sysop? Sleuth (talk) 22:25, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll just demote you ... er - David Gerard (talk) 22:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
