Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Visorstuff

User:Visorstuff

Visorstuff has made over 600 edits since July 2003 under his name. He works very well with the other editors, has helped make significant, useful organizational edits to Mormonism articles, and has added substantial content to religion articles. As any experienced wikipedian knows, religion articles are one of the hardest to present under the NPOV policy, and in this respect, Visorstuff, Wesley and Mkmccon have clearly shown they support this policy. Wikipedia needs these admins to help guide newer wikipedians in the right direction and keep the peace in the religion articles. B 15:12, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

I'll accept, thanks for the nomination. -Visorstuff 23:11, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Support:

1. B
2. I'll support. We disagreed on one occasion, but Visorstuff was very communicative about the whole thing and it was a positive experience overall -- the type of person who ought to be an admin. Jwrosenzweig 17:55, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
3. It looks we're on a kick to nominate admins for the religion sections. Perhaps it's good to do a bunch at the same time, so they can monitor each other as well. Not that I foresee any problems from this crew, just that the presentation of religious subjects has a high risk of provoking people. We need admins to help each other tread carefully. --Michael Snow 00:34, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
4. Support. Working together was constructive, and educational for me. Wesley 04:11, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)
5. Support. He doesn't have vvery many edits, but that can be a good thing (he doesnt get into edit wars etc). Perl 21:44, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
6. Support Danny 12:47, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Neutral:

1. Not a vote, but I just wanted to point out that you don't need to be an admin to help new users. Angela. 17:44, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

   Let me rephrase then: "wayward" new users. More admins are needed in religion articles. I sure would have appreciated an experienced an admin who focused on religion articles when I first started creating Mormonism articles as a newbie wikipedian. RK tainted my newbie experience. An admin in that area would have helped defuse the situation earlier. B
