68:) – I would like to nominate Alabamaboy for adminship. As I have strived to apply professional copy editing skills to many poorly worded entries, I have found that many of the people who claim to embrace npov and other directives, including admins, do not always follow it. I have had a couple of issues and arguments over the editing of pages, including an incident where I was banned wrongly by an admin (a second admin recognized this and reinstated me), and it was at the behest of Alabamaboy's mediation that resolution was brought about (although I still think that the page that comes up when banned should be more accomodating to help the bannee protest their banning). That said, even when I disagree with his edits, or vice versa, he shows respect uncommon on Knowledge (XXG), and not leaping to the worst conclusions. I have also done a little homework. He has about 2000 edits, and has done a lot of work on literature, especially the South of the U.S. and Black culture. I think he has the temperament, technical skill, and editorial skill to be a good admin.
873:. I request that medition or arbitration be considered against this user. Him abusing the rights of RfA is harmful to the Wiki in my opinion - trolls, vandals and spammers are not allowed to continue in bad faith - so this user should also comport himself in a civil manner on these RfAs. He is abusing his rights here - and he is apparently making no attempts to stop. He has the right to vote, sure, but all the other Wikipedians have the right to a fair RfA. Something needs to happen!

Alabamaboy hasn't gotten into the political sides of Knowledge (XXG), he also hasn't gotten into the political sides of Knowledge (XXG). He's levelheaded and concerned with establishing NPOV, clear articles. Also, it is important that southern literature and African American literature and

Nothing personal but I'm uncomfortable with contacting users notifying them of one's Rfa. I objected to this in the recent case of ScottyBoy900Q and, to be consistent, am now opposing again. This slightly different as it's not a self-nom but it would be easy enough to get a nom from someone if one

Well said Jmabel. Being informed of a nominee is not only OK but should be encouraged for the reason you stated. The line between notification and solicitation may be viewed differently by different people but in this case I believe that
Alabamaboy was just notifying us and that's just fine with

I find it very hard to assume good faith with Boothy's oppositions. Opposing nearly all potential admins. without explanation is essentially incivil, and without such explanation, in fact, he is not abiding by WikiGuidelines. Furthermore, I believe that these oppositions are a result of simple

said it's probably not as "bad" as a self-nom spamming pages. Anyway, that's it from me -- it was hardly a big deal IMO and you've learnt now that a few people frown on it and after all we are creating

I had intended not to vote on any other users' RfAs until my own was closed, but this is one I can't pass up. One of the best literature contributors to
Knowledge (XXG), who keeps his head even in the face of real provocation.
