Final (29/25/8); ended 19:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC) - Withdrawn by candidate (non-crat closure). — ΛΧΣ21™ 19:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm honored to be presenting LuK3 for admin consideration. I first noticed him this summer at WP:RfPP, where I was impressed by the professional nature of his reports. Even then I thought he would make a good admin. He asked for a review, and I have done two in 4 months, finding everything in good order. He has helped us gain two GAs, and has almost a year and half of steady contribs totaling almost 18,000 edits. He speaks Spanish and some French. He has proven he can be trusted at RfPP, CSD and AIV by the volume and duration of his work there, and he has done this while avoiding ANI and Arb. I think he is a very likeable guy that has proven he can calmly deal with disgruntled editors and avoid drama while under fire. I am convinced that the admin corp will be a richer place if he is granted the tools. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 01:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings! I would like to offer LuK3 (talk · contribs) for your consideration. I have reviewed his contributions and believe that he would be an excellent help to the admin corps. Firstly, I have never seen him edit disruptively. As a result, he likely isn't very well known simply because he has not been taken to WP:ANI or any of the other drama boards—that's a good thing in my opinion! Furthermore, he isn't afraid to admit a mistake, which is another trait desperately needed in an admin. An editor willing to admit his mistakes is an editor who is unlikely to cause serious trouble as an admin. When he encounters a user who does not understand policy as well, he helps to explain the policies. He also logs his speedy deletion nominations at User:LuK3/CSD log. Upon reviewing that page, I found that he is extremely accurate in his tagging. He has contributed to a couple articles by adding references and cleaning up the prose to help them pass good article nominations. He contributes to Portal:Current events, helping to keep it up to date. However, LuK3 works primarily in countervandalism and counterspam efforts, and a cursory review of his edits will show him constantly reverting defacement of our articles. This has caused him to rack up an impressive 600 edits to RfPP and 200 each to AIV and UAA. As RfPP especially can get backlogged at times, I would enjoy having him around to help us protect pages when vandals won't stop messing around. All of his reports are of a very high caliber, so that, when taken together, indicate that LuK3 will make an excellent administrator on Wikipedia. Thanks!

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
Please keep discussion constructive and civil. If you are unfamiliar with the nominee, please thoroughly review his contributions before commenting.

I follow the reason in both responses. I'm surprised that the tone in the comments imply that one editor has to be wrong for the other to be right. It's pretty clear to me that both of you are right, and entitled to hold opposing views and different values. I could say I agree more with one view than the other, but the truth for me is that I'm somewhere in the middle of you both. Which makes neither of you wrong.
So let's hear all the views that get expressed, and comment if we must. Remembering that it is unreasonable, and entirely too much stress, to offer an opinion with an expectation that the other person should agree with you, in the end. It's best to chill out a bit, and give everyone a fair hearing, since they were kind enough to join the process in good faith. And avoid the extra stress that goes with folly.
