{{User|Mercifull}} – A diligent, hardworking contributor, Mercifull has helped do a lot of good work for the Battlestar Wiki. His artwork is prominently displayed throughout the site, brightening up the appearance without being too intrusive. He's demonstrated that he is not afraid of grunt work either, often participating in cleanup projects on countless articles. He keeps a level head, is patient with new contributors, and collaborates with others to get his work done. This is his second RFA, but his first was declined (not unsuccessful). I am somewhat glad that he declined his first, as it may have been a bit premature. Since then I believe he has proven himself to be an excellent candidate to be a steward of the mop, and I believe he will use his mop only to do good. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 08:22, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

''A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:''
:'''1.''' What duties, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out [[Battlestar Wiki:Project List]]'s for a list of projects.
::A. I have been a major player making [[:Category:Battlestar Wiki images|Battlestar Wiki icon images]] for the [[BW:SI|Site Images]] project making sure that all project have images relating to the subject matter (see section 2) but I have also helped out with some other projects. I have uploaded DVD quality screenshots from [[Series 1]] and the [[Miniseries]] and I hope to be able to upgrade many more images once my [[Season 2]] DVD's arrive. Recently I have also been learning how to use relevant wiki syntax to create tables and template and have been working on a [[Template:Battle Data|new template]] to replace the Battle pages. Still on the subject of images I have been making sure [[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images|the Island]] is nice and tidy using images where relevant in the new "gallery" section on some of the ship pages and also making sure they are correctly tagged and sourced. I also dont mind trawling though correcting minor details such as the change from Mini-series to Miniseries and Humano Cylon to Cylon-Agent and wont be afraid to do such menial tasks in the future. 

:'''2.''' Of your articles or contributions here, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
::A. I think definitly I am most pleased about the Images I have created for the Wiki. Most of the [[:Category:Battlestar Wiki images|Battlestar Wiki icon images]] were created by me and are now on pretty much every page. I also hope in the future to do images for the rest of the site. [[Battlestar Wiki talk:Site images#Possible new images|skinning the buttons]] for example. I hope to be a much bigger player in the overal design in the future and already helped out with the deisgn of the new main page a few weeks ago.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
::A. Yes... but only very minor. A few weeks ago when [[User:Fordsierra4x4|Fordsierra4x4]] joined he overwrote the current [[:Image:Ep212battle.jpg|Image of the month]] with what I perceved as of a lower quality. I reverted this change back to the original Promo shot from SciFi. Ford then reverted my revert back to his image. Ultimatly I then reverted back again to the original image and put a vote in the talk page. In the end it was voted to keep the original promo image. This was however when both Ford and I were new to the wiki and I think everything between us is now resolved :)
