Candidate statement
I have been around long enough that i know the policies to become a Sysop. I mainly work on userboxes when on the wiki, but i also work on the cinematics project. With school now i honestly cannot be as active as i was, but i pledge to donate a daily amount of work on the wiki. I plan on working on fixing up the category tree to something that is usable for all of the wiki community. I have been a little harsh at times, but i promise to use neutrality in my future decisions.

Support

 * 1) --Burning Freebies 07:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC) Your helped me in the past, and for that i thank you. And give you a vote for a role i strongly believe you should have.

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose. Why not establish a record of neutrality first? And I also don't see how you would give extra value with sysop tools. JonTheMon 03:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose. A good user, but not quite ready to be a sysop. Lord Belar  03:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose....--Shadowsin 03:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose. The most basic criterion for supporting an RfA is, "Can I trust user X with the Sysop tools?"  Like Jon, I'm simply not willing to make the assumption that Seru will be impartial in the future on the basis of his word alone.  I don't doubt that Seru is a good user/contributor, but without any evidence that he is sufficiently level-headed, rational, etc. and similarly lacking the evidence that he has a thorough grasp of policy, I'm afraid I cannot support his RfA, at least not for the time being, perhaps in a few months.  Additionally, perhaps I'm putting a bit too much stock in Seru's candidate statement, but I'm really not sure what he thinks he can accomplish as a Sysop, nor do I fully understand why he wants to be a Sysop.

 * 5) Oppose. Agreed with Jon and DE; I haven't seen enough of Seru to trust him with sysop tools, yet. -- Shadowphoenix [[Image:User Shadowphoenix Necromancer.png|19x19px|Please, talk to me; I'm so lonely ;-;]] 04:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Wat. - Auron 07:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Oppose. --Xeeron 09:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose. everyone runs for this shit now..? --Cursed Angel [[Image:User Cursed Angel Signature.jpg|19px|talk]] 14:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Oppose. The candidate statement and user contributions does not show why sysop tools would be useful. More participation in matters pertaining to the wiki in general (not just on content) will help show one's general behavior and grasp of policies. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 14:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose Agreed with Ab.er.rant. Dominator Matrix  14:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Oppose. You already said it, you primarily work on your wiki content projects - and that is totally fine - but as long as you don't show a bit more interest in important discussions, I don't think sysop is really something that fit's you. However continue with what makes you fun, and if you have the feeling that you want to participate in those discussions feel free to do it, and I think then you would be able to become a good sysop :) poke | talk 16:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) Oppose. Agreed with Jon and DE. Oh, and Auron. o_O Kokuou 21:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) I believe this users inexperience in admin matters are a sufficient reason to oppose. Backsword 09:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) Oppose. Agree with DE, Ab.er and Poke so no point writing anything else. -- Kakarot  [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 22:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) Oppose. Agree with Ab.er.rant. &mdash; Galil [[Image:User Galil sig.png|Talk page]] 12:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Neutral. Although I've seen Seru on the wiki here and there as we tend to be on some of the same discussions, I still don't really know him well enough to comment in this instance as I can't see how admin tools would help or hinder the work he already does on the wiki. -- Salome [[Image:User_salome_sig.png|19px]] 03:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral: I can see Seru as a sysop a few months down the road. The cinematics project is a great project, something I lobbied for when EotN came out and the cinematics had names, and I'm very grateful to Seru and Wyn for that. But I'm very hesitant in giving Seru sysop tools, and I'm not sure I can fully trust him with those tools, even in the wiki's time of need.

 * 3) Weak Neutral. Seru, you're a good contributor, but I think that it'd be best if you worked a bit more on your neutrality issues. Taking from personal experience, getting into fights and wiki drama is not good (not saying that you have, mind you, but it could happen that way). Granted, the opposition is weak, but I just havent seen enough of a "neutral" perspective to warrent trust with the sysop tools. Apologies. --[[Image:User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png|19px]]  Wandering   Traveler  03:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Neutral. I think Seru has the potential to be a good sysop eventually. I would like to see more participation in discussions, and more activity in mainspace. --[[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png | Wyn's Talk page]] Wyn 05:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Neutral. Give it a few more months, and I think we may have a good sysop. -- [[Image:User indochine dsk tree.png|15px]] Indochine  talk 09:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Nice enough person, but you've only really become active in the past 4 months. Give it some more time. &mdash;  ク   Eloc  貢  18:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
