Bubba hotep ( talk · contribs) - I noticed this user fairly early on in his wiki-career and was impressed enough to hand him the The Exceptional Newcomer Award before his first month was out. Bubba hotep has added a significant amount of material to Wikipedia articles since he started editing in August 2006, and his editing has been strong and even ever since. He has created over 200 articles, largely as part of WikiProject Albums. He appears to enjoy doing a variety of mundane housework like clearing backlogs in the categories, recent changes and anti-vandalism. He was fun to work with on getting a page I'd been pushing to Featured Article status, doing a lot of copy editing and sentence restructure to get my sometimes extended rambles into shape. Bubba hotep engages with other users on article talk and user talk pages, easily adjusting to the relevant level of comment. He has a steady stream of advice requests and is helpful and polite when asked, giving assistance with what policies and guidelines mean and how they apply to newer users. I saw him show sound judgment and consistency when checking Recent Changes to action those pages needing it, and saw he provided links to the particular policies in his edit summaries when relevant, though the recent edits for WP:ALBUM seemed to have dragged him away from that a bit. -- Alf melmac 22:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC) reply
Co-nomination - I first ran into Bubba while on RC patrol where he beat me to the revert several times in one day. Since then, his hard work has never ceased to amaze me. Whenever In need of a second opinion, whether about catching tricky vandalism, using approriate userspace warnings, work with with WP:AFD's or pretty much any other topic I could think of, no matter what the question Bubba has always had a well thought out and appropriate answer, an answer that I would expect from an administrator. Bubba's tenacity at working through tedious tasks, such as his massive work in the cleanup of WP:ALBUM, would make him an asset no matter what administrative backlog was in need of clearing. Overall, I think that Bubba is one of the most well rounded Wikipedian that I have ever worked with here, with work on RC patrol along with his exceedingly appropriate reports to WP:AIV, commenting on Articles for Deletion and a general willingness to help anybody requesting assistance. There is currently nobody else on Wikipedia who I feel would make a better use of the tools, if given them. It is for all these reasons and more that I offer my Nominiation -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 23:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC) reply
