Candidate statement
Well guys, here it is. In my short time here, I've only gotten to know a few of you, but however this turns out, I hope I'll be able to get to know more of you guys ^^

I know my way through wiki-code and I've done my fair share of vandalism fighting. I also have a good knowledge of the policies and guidelines here, so decisions I make will be well informed. I do patrol recent changes quite a lot and check my watchlist numerous times a day. I also have had experience with sysop tools (you know I won't mess around with them). I see this as my chance to help out–to keep this wiki nice and vandalism-free. Not so sure what to say, but like the others, I'd my contributions and participation decide your vote, rather than what I type. Thanks for the nomination, and I'm always willing to help (: – alistic 18:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Support. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|link=User_talk:Lacky|My Talk]] Lacky 05:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Support.You may be a bit irating with the kiss pages but you are very good with code -- Nick 123  User Nick123 sig.jpg 19:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Support I have seen that you are a sysop and even a bureaucrat on many wikia and wiki sites. I feel that if you have never abused your tools there that you won't abuse them here. I have seen the good that you have done for this wiki and I feel confident that you would do well. We all make little mistakes, but we do learn from them and your recent on here was trying to remove obvious vandalism/NPA. I have no doubts in your judgments. Kaisha 23:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Support Seen more on GWiki, and less here, but all good stuff. Mostly what Kaisha said. [[Image:User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpg]]Rose Of Kali 03:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Support. Cress Arvein [[Image:User Cress Arvein sig.JPG]] 03:36, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * 3) Oppose. Not quite yet. You've got the right idea, but I think a bit more time here is needed. --User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png Wandering  Traveler  20:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I don't know you that well, so maybe this is too soon. --  Cyan [[Image:User Cyan Light sig.jpg|19px]] 19:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Quickly glancing through your contributions you wouldn't seem to abuse your tools. It would honestly be nice to get some new blood into the sysop family, but I don't know you well enough to support you, nevertheless good luck C4K3 [[Image:User_C4K3_Signature.jpg]] Talk 19:50, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Checked through your edits and I personally feel you need to familiarise yourself with the wiki policies more before becoming a sysop. (for example on this page alone; see not knowing that IP's can vote on admin requests) --  Salome   [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 20:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) What C4K3 said. Also, I don't really why you need sysop tools. &mdash;  Mini Me  20:17, 23 January 2010
 * 5) Neutral, but would lean towards support. Balistic is a good guy who already has admin and/or bureaucrat on multiple wikis. He has some code knowledge and can frequently be found fighting vandals, fixing broken things, tagging for deletion, and so on. The only concerns I have is that he wouldn't be my first choice for a "deal with sticky situation" admin, since I remember a few cases where things he posted unintentionally made a situation worse (not necessarily on GWW though, so meh). I also agree that knowledge of GWW-specific policy nuances and stuff is a bit spotty, but I think that's really easy to fix on-the-fly and am not much concerned about it.

 * 6) Neutral i have not seen you around as much as i should if you were going to be a sysop, and i also feel after going through ur edits that you need to know the policies better. - [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 04:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Neutral but leaning towards support If you can prove that you need sysop tools to do the things you want to do, and you want to limit your scope to wikicode/vandalism fighting etc, I will give you support. Pika Fan 20:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
