# {{Oppose}}: Shane is undoubtedly one of our wiki's finest technical contributors. Between he and Mercifull, the wiki's features, particularly that involving templates and code on the part of Shane, has greatly improved. It didn't take long after the MediaWiki update for Shane to hit the ground. His work on the sorely-needed update to the Main Page is probably his finest work. However, I must oppose his nomination at this time for two conditions. One: I have already supported Mercifull's nomination and don't feel we need to promote another contributor to adminship just yet. Two, and this is most serious, involves Shane's tendency to move too swiftly in wiki-wide changes without consulting with others for consensus. Shane appears easily bruised by criticism--a trait that can't exist with an administrator. As a result, he has shown a tendency to "go nuclear" a bit too quickly, creating not just one but two Requests for Comment against a fellow contributor--a wikipedian known for his tolerance, patience, and insight. While Shane is obviously capable of using all that MediaWiki offers, I feel he sometimes forgets ''when'' using the tools is appropriate. As Merv can attest, applying for adminship might take some time, and all of us scrutinize each other fiercely to ensure we give the right responsibility at the right time. Shane's powers are awesome as they are, and if there was a status I could vote him for in that capacity, I would. For now, I don't feel that Shane has the best temperment for being an administrator | # {{Oppose}}: Shane is undoubtedly one of our wiki's finest technical contributors.
