{{Vandal|Shane}} – I have helped out the Battlestar Wiki tirelessly to help maintain the site and servres. I beleive that you, the users of Battlestar Wiki, can entrust me with enforcing the rules of the Wiki at a higher level now. Helping create policy has now been my strong point with the user of the Think Tank and other tools that we have created. People see me as a leader and I respect that.

:''Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:'' I accept. :-) [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 15:21, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

# {{Support}}. This is a ''de facto'' vote to me. Shane's Jedi-like wiki skills as well as hardware and software support make this one obvious to me. As with all of us, it's still important to watch how you phrase things at the right time, but other than that, Shane's work on the wiki merits this tiny extra bit of responsibility (and spreads the power of the Squeegee). --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 16:45, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} Aye. He's basically already an uber-boss. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:06, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} Clear dedication to the wiki both as an editor and also all the stuff behind the scenes that keeps everything running hunky dory. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:08, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} I am shocked Shane is not a bureaucrat yet, as he pretty much looks like Joe's second-in-command to me. But apart from that, he's worthy of the job. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 09:36, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} Has demonstrated tremendous amounts of dedication, willingness to listen and collaborate, and vision. I don't know what the B-crat to admin ratio ought to be, and I'd trust anybody I've voted in as a sysop as a B-crat, but Shane is clearly an outstanding candidate. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:10, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} What can I add that everyone else hasn't already said? A very worthy candidate. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 10:13, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
# {{Support}} Not much to add here - we may as well formalize his position. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:26, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

==== Questions for the candidate ====
<!-- The following are generic questions. Users may add questions to be asked in this section.  However, should a user do so, please notify the nominee so that he or she may answer the question prior to the deadline for the nomination.  Thank you! -->
:'''1.''' Have you read the discussions on when to promote and not promote? What do you understand the criteria for promotion to be?
::'''A'''. Yes. A sysop has to have not only a firm standing on the polices of the wiki, but able to know when he/she must do the right thing.
:'''2.''' How would you deal with contentious nominations where a decision to promote or not promote might be criticized?
::'''A'''. I would remind people that voting for sysops is not a popularity contest and it's seen as one's ability to help with wiki be maintained.
:'''3.''' Battlestar Wiki expect Bureaucrats to adhere to high standards of fairness, knowledge of policy and the ability to engage others in the community. Why do you feel you meet those standards?
::'''A'''. I am involved without a lot of the policy discusstions already and engage myself in the Think tank debates when I think it's needed.
:'''4.''' If you become a bureaucrat, will you pledge not to discuss promotion or non-promotion of potential admins on any other forum during the course of nominations and especially when making a decision? And to discuss issues of promotion or non-promotion only with other bureaucrats, in their talk, where such discussion would be transparent?
::'''A'''. Yes. Showing favoritism is not good.
:'''5.''' Do you have the time and do you have the desire to visit [[BW:RFA]] on a regular basis to see to the promotion or delisting of candidates in a timely manner?
::'''A'''. Yes. I watch that page closely already. ;-)
