Wisdom89 (talk · contribs) - Fellow editors, I am delighted to offer up for adminship Wisdom89 hereafter known simply as Wisdom. A long term user, Wisdom really became active in June of 2007. With over 14,000 edits plus about 1,800 deleted contributions both tenure and contribution level are not a concern. I opposed Wisdom's last RFA on the basis of concerns that Wisdom would be more hindernce than help. Those concerns are now gone. A review of Wisdom's contributions should show the following;

Article Work

• Well just look at Rush (band), Conservapedia and Neil Peart.
• A simple glance at the associated article talk pages as above, and their histories, shows evidence of Wisdom's desire to collaborate.

Project Work

• Active at our key areas (in terms of adminship) of WP:AIV, WP:XFD, WP:RFPP, WP:UAA etc. etc.
• Not only active but accurate and able to respond to occasional errors. A quick review of User:Pedro/Admin_Coaching#UAA shows how well Wisdom both responded and learnt from a minor error.

Development since last RFA

• I would urge commentators to review User:Pedro/Admin_Coaching.

Housekeeping Items

• Clean block log
• WP:HELPDESK contributions demonstrating a thorough policy / guideline knowledge.
• A civil manner
• Edit summary usage is spot on.
• Un-offensive user page
• Sensible Signature
• E-mail enabled

Summary

• Hard though it is to gauge via a text medium, I have personally found Wisdom to be friendly, thoughtful, and ready to adapt and learn. I believe he has come on enormously since his last RFA. He has accepted both my counsel and that of others in many areas; He has not requested admin tools until others felt he was ready - a stance that does him credit. In addition I see Wisdom's comments often across WP, and I feel he balances being WP:BOLD with being tactful and doing what is needed.

All, as ever I would never nominate unless I believed a candidate was both ready and will be a Net Positive to Wikipedia. I find that Wisdom will be that, and more, by granting admin rights. I hope the community will find themselves in agreeance with this course of action. Pedro :  Chat  22:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Co-nomination by Tiptoety ^talk:

I have had the pleasure of working with Wisdom over my 11 months or so here, and have the pleasure of con-nominating him. Wisdom is an RfA regular who always ensures that candidates are well rounded in areas that require the mop, and I know that he by far excels his own admin requirements. I have seen Wisdom on almost every noticeboard ranging from ANI to AIV and always has proven to be helpful, and often wonder if there is ever a need to check the contributions of a user reported to AIV ass I know I know the result. On noticeboards I always look for his comments as they always prove to be undoubtedly helpful. As well as great work in admin related areas Wisdom has also produced wonderful article contributions such as Rush (band) and Neil Peart (so users who like to oppose due to lack of article contributions, be prepared to support). Overall I feel this user is well rounded, responsible, thoughtful, helpful, and always willing to listen to complaints and learn from mistakes. I do not commonly nominate users for adminship, but there was no way I was going to pass this one up. Wisdom89 is ready for the mop, now lets give it to him.

Discussion

• Erm this isn't transcluded yet, is it?

Note - could we possibly stop commentating in support / oppose / neutral until the RFA is both accepted & transcluded, unless you are a nominator. Cummon peeps, this is a community and I find the idea of transcluding an RFA with a page full of comments disrespectful to those members of our community that haven't watchlisted it (i.e. all-most all of them).
PLEASE REMOVE THIS COMMENT ON TRANSCLUSION.
