Skenmy (Bureaucrat)

Skenmy (talk · contribs) is already a trusted sysop, checkuser, and member of the Arbitration Committee. I think he will do fine as a bureaucrat and ask the community to weigh in. We could use some help here at WN:RFP, as well as at WN:CHU and WN:BOTS. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 11:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Questions

• Question: Do you accept this nomination? Cirt (talk) 11:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Just like a marriage proposal, I do. --Skenmy ^talk 11:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

• How do you feel the significant number of outstanding bot requests should be handled? Particularly given that many overlap and claim to do interwiki links? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

These need to be investigated and sorted. If we can consolidate bots and find one that does the lot it would be easier, but liaising with the bot owners is probably a good first step. --Skenmy ^talk 14:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• Comment -- It has been over 7 days since this RfB discussion started, and it has a majority of support consensus. I think it can be closed as successful and the candidate promoted. Cirt (talk) 04:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• Abstain - Although I trust Skenmy, en.Wikinews has 5 active Bureaucrats and, so far as I have been aware, no recent issues in which Bureaucrats were unresponsive. So I do not perceive a need for more 'crats, in fact I think we should trim the one inactive 'crat as there is no benefit served. - Amgine | ^t 02:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)----

Closed as Passed --Chiacomo ^(talk) 05:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
