739:. I like Ronline. He is a good person, and deserving of adminship probably. But as Zserghei and Iulian U. said, the fact that the nominator is Bonaparte makes this request suspect. If this RfA fails (which it probably won't), I would vote "support" in a new RfA later if the nominator's motives were less suspcious. Now, if it didn't look like this RfA was definitely going to win, I would truly consider a "support" vote because it's Ronline we're talking about, but since it looks like it is with or without me, I'm just registering my opposition here more as a matter of principle. -- 882:
by anonymous IPs tend to raise the bar of my giving them a support vote, and I tend to subject those people to closer scrutiny. I don't think I would ever negatively discount a person based on the nominator however, which is what the above appears to be doing. So (in a very roundabout way!), I am agreeing with you: any oppose votes based solely on who the nominator is should be discarded or at least heavily discounted. Glad to see the above are nuetral votes. :)

article, which has been through some tough times lately. There, I've tried to stand for the truth, to prevent both sides taking things too far on their own way. In the future, I hope to maintain that. Mediating conflict is one thing I really enjoy doing, if only because it achieves a sense of social

A. Yes I have, for that matter. I've been involved in a dispute at the Moldovan Knowledge (XXG), and I've tried to deal with that in as neutral a way as possible. The only thing I believe in more than neutrality is communication - without direct, reasonable communication, everything fails. I've also

Fair enough, but I also feel that who the nominator is does matter to people. For example, if I don't know a person who is being nominated personally, but I do know and trust the nominator, I will tend to give the person nominated a little more credit. Similarly, unsigned nominations and nominations

to be Administrator! He has always been a reliable, friendly editor, contributor of countless articles, I've seen him act as the mediator on a number of difficult topics. He is also sysop at Romanian Knowledge (XXG). He is a good researcher and very good defender of the truth. Let's go and vote for
749:
Good points. I am aware that you had your share of verbal abuse from certain people at certain articles, but it was precisely there that Ronline had a moderating influence. That is to say, keep in mind that this is not a vote for Bonaparte to be an admin. :)

justice and constructive stability. Have any users caused me stress - yes, but I've never sought to aggrevate conflict. If there's one thing people must learn at Knowledge (XXG), is that we should try to talk to each other in a nicer way.

A. I would be willing to work against vandalism in all of its forms. However, I'd also like to help with requested moves and things like that, the only an administrator can do and that people sometimes wait too much time

A. Well, I've contributed mostly to the Romanian Knowledge (XXG) and I haven't really been a content contributor - I've mostly been involved in organisation, planning, stuff like that. I'm really proud, however, of the

Ronline's able and common-sense mediation in the matter of the anon Romanian contributor with a prediliction for unjustifiably augmenting Romanian stats demonstrates he's made of the right admin material.--

I know. I would like to make it clear that this also applies to a negative vote, not necessarily a neutral vote. Voting against a candidate because you have differences with the nominator (but nothing

more often though. And about the nominator, I suspect Bonaparte's motivation is to have a friend with big stick at certain controversal articles, but I don't think Ronline will fall into that trap.

Changing to abstain, following (iterated) modifications to answer, with which I'm now completely happy, pending a closer look at candidate's contribs/developing an actual substantiative opinion.
518:: I don't know the candidate from Adam's Off Ox, but no one could fake tolerance and fair mindedness through all the inappropriate questions below. Holy smokes, but that takes some equanimity. 813:
We are supposed to be judging the candidate here. In my view the nominator should not come into it. If you have a dispute with Bonaparte that is fine, but this is not the place to bring it up.

I think Ronline would be a good admin, but the fact that Bonaparte is the nominator makes me wonder what his intentions are. I don't want my Support vote to endorse Bonaparte's stance (see

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page.
