Bonziiznob
My first nomination in over 6 months or so for a new admin admin here goes to a very well deserving and highly trusted user in my opinion. He has learned a great deal about the wiki and its' policies and how we are a community. He respects other users and has sound judgment. I am not going to go on and on because I think most of us know enough about Bonz by this time to know he is trusted, will not abuse his extra tools, and will use them for the good of the wiki. --Degenret01 05:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

''I, Bonziiznob, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realize that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my powers because I realize that this is a serious offence and if the community finds that I have done so, my powers will be revoked and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed, 06:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

As I have in the past, I plan on being an active contributor to helping control the vandals in our wiki. I do however plan on limiting the amount of blocks I would be forced to do, as has been proven by others that warnings often handle the situation at hand prior to a block having to be issued. Also, I plan on actively continuing to contribute the community via the Grove with the only difference in myself then being able to offer a little more then aid then I can at present. Also, I love community, and I hope to better setup a friendly relationship and a means to establish this within the community, given some time to figure out how to set this up. Oh, I'm also married to Christine, that is also, very administrative, but shhh.

2. What are your best contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?

Well, that's kinda a bias question, cause my answers are a matter of opinion to me, but in to answer, I have made the 2008 Christmas Event article, the Hairstyles article, the Ice Amulet article and more. I took part in the change over from the RuneScape Yew Grove to the Forum style we now have and just finished a 10+ merge of articles. I am also actively co-founding the Spring Wikifest. Oh, and I've also reverted the contributions of the those less approved.

'''3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?'''

Um....not that I am well aware of. I think I called Karlis out once for an assume good faith thing when I first started, but that dissolved as fast as it happened, lol. Um, there was a December 24th article thing where some RuneScape history was made and I made an article where it was deleted. I didn't quite understand at the time and rose some concerns, but I knew the consensus was for the better of the wiki, and I left it at that. Other then that I try not to get too involved into situations that don't concern me.

Discussion
Support - As Nominator Degenret01 05:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - per Degenret. You've been here long enough to earn a support from me. You're obviously trustworthy as shown by all of your anti-vandal work. If you're as good with the block button as you are with the rollback button then I look forward to seeing you sysopped. ^_^ 05:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Bonziiznob is a kind, helpful editor and his work against vandals is amazing. Full support from me. 06:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Ugh... I had this big long great reason Bonzi should be an Sysop. But I lost it somehow. Anyways, I think he would do a fine job. Trustworthy and great against vandals. Basically per Soldier 1033. 06:46, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support per all. 06:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support In all conscience, I can say with complete honesty that Bonzi is exactly the kind of admin we need, being both diligent and personable. 07:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support PER ALL! This way much better than your old rfa's 07:47, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Definitely proved himself to be trustworthy and good admin material. Ticks all my boxes. 11:19, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Bonziiznob is definitely trustworthy enough to receive admin tools. He has dealt with a lot of vandalism and I believe he would make good use of the tools. 12:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support- Per everyone :) -- 12:15, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - I put on thegs rfa that you aren't an admin with 1300 main edits, but i'll have to strikethrough that...12:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Bonzi has been though the mill a few times, but seems to have come out better for it. Clearly he can see the big picture and can work with a host of different style editors. He is trustworthy, diligent, and both open and fair minded. 15:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Bonzi has shown his maturity, dedication, and understanding to us all. Well deserving of the tools. =) 15:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 EPIC Support - You are among the most aware, and best editing non-admins out there. It would be an honor to give you these tools.

Support - If I had to choose any of the current non-admins to be an admin, it would be Bonzi. His judgement is sound and his advice is great. 20:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support per all. Bonzii has made a lot of contributions and is very active in the community. 22:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support per all. Many contributions, both for the article and against vandals. In my opinion, user shows a lot of potential for an admin position. 22:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Support per all, a great contributor and has shown that he can handle the responsibility of the powers that come with being a sysop. - 23:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Support per all. Quite active, and most of all, very friendly. 01:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - About time, I say! You have shown yourself over and over again that you are the guy for the job! 19:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - 3rd RfA in 6 months, aren't you a bit rushed? 19:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Considering the number of times people have told him he should do it he actually put it off for a bit. Note that he himself did not ask for the last 2, others nominated him. And he only accepted here after careful consideration. He did not leap in blindly. --Degenret01 07:36, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Strong Support - Very active and one of the most helpful, friendly and even-tempered people I met on here. 22:07, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Strong Support - About time!For the same reasons as most people above.-- 22:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Good to see your RFA is doing so well, Bonzi. 06:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - I thought he was a sysop already... 09:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Support. A very active user, tons of contributions, and very freindly. If anyone deserves to be an admin, Bonzi does. 00:20, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for early close Although I generally like the two week time frame, in this case Bonz has received virtually unanimous support from those generally inclined to comment on Rfas. Recommend we put notice of intent to close in 2 days if no objections in the site notice then proceed to do so. Are our B'crats ok with that?--Degenret01 09:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd be willing to end it early in three days so long as my fellow 'crats are in agreement.-- 19:02, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Defiantly, 2 to 3 days sounds good. 19:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
