{{User|CalculatinAvatar}} – I have been consistently impressed with CalculatinAvatar since he first joined us four months ago. He has displayed meticulous attention to detail, a strong commitment to accuracy, and his comments in the talk namespaces are always clear and well considered. Although his edit count is small, his contributions have been of consistently high value. I believe that as an administrator, he would be an even stronger asset to the project. --[[User: | {{User|CalculatinAvatar}} – I have been consistently impressed with CalculatinAvatar since he first joined us four months ago.

#[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:42, 1 May 2006 (CDT) - An exemplary Battlewikian. Not afraid to dive in and do some of the dirty work (any help over in the TOS and 1980 sections are greatly appreciated). Outside of an [[Talk:Perry|odd case of confusing violent agreement with Merv]] I can't think of any disturbances that CalculatinAvatar has been involved in. I'm sure he'll handle the mop with care and skill, and I had considered nominating him myself. I suppose it would be selfish to tank an RFA for the sole purpose of having someone succeed on "your" nomination... so I must '''support'''. | #[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:42, 1 May 2006 (CDT) - An exemplary Battlewikian.

::A. I am most involved in grammar, punctuation, style, diction, linking, and (to a lesser extent) spelling changes. I also tend to fact-check articles dealing with comparisons between the reimagined series and our reality (e.g. [[Kinetic Energy Weapon]], [[Naturalistic science fiction]], and Assassination). I have particular interest in the application of [[Battlestar Wiki:Citation Jihad]], [[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images]], and [[Battlestar Wiki:Standards and Conventions]]. | ::A.

::A. I have had edit conflicts in the past, and I tend to deal with them by citing sources or finding out I was wrong when looking for sources. Sometimes I simply provide a more clear justification (e.g. "Normally I wouldn't revert a revert, but sentences end in periods.") or decide the other person has a better point or one of which I was ignorant (e.g. "punctuation order (that had occured to me, but i didn't really like the impression they gave. that said, i can live with them.)" after | ::A.
