288:(God, this is turning more into RfA by the minute). I haven't been around very long, and I can honestly say that I can't remember having any interaction with Nakon, so it's difficult for me to support. I have every confidence that Nakon is well versed in bot policy, indeed, a much better coder than me (not hard), but BRFA is a procedure, and quite a complex one at that. I can't really support without having in front of me demonstrable experience with that system, sorry. In my mind, it would be wonderful to have Nakon comment on a few modern BRFAs - after all, that half of the system (open to non-BAG members) is woefully under-utilised. But hey, it's just a matter of time. -
152:. I am usually found on IRC in #mediawiki. The bot-like scripts I have developed in the past have been designed to prevent and revert page move vandalism as well as clearing stale TOR blocks once the Torblock extension was enabled. I monitor the bot-related noticeboards often and am well-versed in the Bot policy as I have been in the position to follow it through its years of development. If you have any more questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Thank you for the nomination. For anyone unfamiliar with me, I have been with
Wikimedia since late 2005 and have been editing off and on since then. I resumed editing a while ago after taking a break so I could focus on college. I mainly write in PHP and am somewhat active with patch contributions
127:
Nakon is one of
Knowledge (XXG)'s most experienced admins and one of its best coders. He has been running various bots for a long time now and has in the past commented at BAG. Now that he is an active editor again, I would like to put him forward to help out in reviewing bots.
248:. Your technical abilities are probably fine, but I think you have too little experience with the BRFA process itself to be in the position of running it. In particular, it would be nice for you to have an approved BRFA at some point.
375:
While I can't claim to have been active around BRFA myself very much in the past month or so, the fact that this user is completely unknown to me is a little worrying. I don't think I'm seeing the necessary experience with the process.
360:
While I don't doubt Nakon is well-known to people who have been admins for a while and has written MediaWiki patches and various user scripts, all I have seen is a few questions on a few BRFAs.
119:
214:
BRFA approved bots? (I searched without being able to find any.) I don't really consider a history of running unapproved adminbots / scripts to be much of a foundation for joining BAG.

to demonstrate the capabilities of the candidate in terms of bot policies and BRFA. However, This is not an under estimation of the coding capabilities of the candidate. Best wishes --

More than two weeks have passed since the last edit, and there does not appear to be a consensus for Nakon's admittance into the BAG at this time. --

Although I respect MBisanz's nom, I seriously concur with Jarry/Dragons flight. Mainly bcoz I havent seen the candidate anywhere at
308:. I know it's not much and I don't intend on trying to change your mind, but I do find myself checking the BRFA page more often.
