User:WHEELER (2/15/1); ends 02:00, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

I feel that the addition of Wheeler as an Admin would be a good idea. He has been on Wiki for quite some time now, and brings balance to many controversial articles. He has also been a prolific contributor to articles. TDC 02:00, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)

Support:

  1. TDC 02:00, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
  2. Comrade Nick, This old Marxist will vote in favor! Because he seems like good contributor, and i don't care if i disagree with him politically!

Oppose:

  1. Michael Snow 02:25, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  2. OPPOSE. Maximus Rex 02:27, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  4. Way too early. His first two edits were in mid-February, and his third on March 21. →Raul654 02:50, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
  5. WHEELER has been here barely two months, yet already has been involved in several heated conflicts. His remarks ("This place is a joke") hardly suggest admin material. Cribcage 04:49, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  6. A review of his edits would suggest that he may not yet fully understand the Wikipedia culture. UninvitedCompany 08:29, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  7. Strongly oppose. Moncrief 12:13, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
  8. Tuf-Kat 19:32, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
  9. Strongly oppose. 172 21:52, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  12. john 05:35, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC). Strongly oppose. Most of his edits serve to push a very idiosyncratic POV, and he is largely incapable of meaningful discussion on talk pages.
  13. AndyL 06:26, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)WHEELER's heart is in the right place but his judgement is lacking. He's consistently shown an inability to distinguish between POV and NPOV and he also seems far too tempermental and thin-skinned for adminship.
  14. Strongly oppose. WHEELER often cannot distinguish between POV and NPOV, and I'm not sure whether it's because he is prejudiced or whether his poor English expression does not allow him to apply quotes or other "distanciation" devices where they should. It may be possible that he is consciously pushing his political views. It's almost impossible to have a discussion with him on the talk pages, for he's often incoherent; besides, he's very thin-skinned and routinely engages in gratuitous personal attacks.

  • Are you sure that's the right username? I can't find a User:Wheeler, or edit history. Cecropia 02:18, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
