{{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:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 21:25, 30 April 2006 (CDT) | {{User|CalculatinAvatar}} – I have been consistently impressed with CalculatinAvatar since he first joined us four months ago.

Questions for the candidate
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 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.
- I sometimes check the text quality of TOS or 1980 articles, but my unfamiliarity with their content hinders substantive changes.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions here, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A. Assassination and Galactica type battlestar occur to me, but those are pretty much just larger cases of the same prose clean-up edits as the majority of my contributions. That said, I am pleased that, in my assessment, I improved the readability and accuracy of each.
- I poke at articles more than I compose them, so those are some of my larger changes.
- 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. 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 Peter's change tagged "Those are real quotes, not scare quotes.").
