Final (54/0/1); Closed as successful by WjBscribe at 22:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pinkville (talk · contribs) - Pinkville has been editing Wikipedia for nearly three years, during which time he has made over 7,000 edits. He has done excellent work writing and creating articles emphasising the history of photography and more particularly its early history in the far east, and was principal author of three featured articles: Pierre Rossier, Adolfo Farsari and Felice Beato. He has also worked on articles on very different and sometimes contentious subjects, such as Howard Zinn, about which he has at times been drawn into arguments, in which he has conducted himself well. Pinkville has participated carefully in AfD discussions, rarely offering a "per nom" vote and instead tending to make substantive additions, whether an appeal to WP policy or guideline, or pertinent facts that others have not noticed. Every part of Pinkville's work so far persuades me that he is a knowledgable and clear-thinking user who would not abuse the tools. His track record and demonstrated maturity show that he would be a good choice. Epbr123 (talk) 22:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
