Hall Monitor (
talk·contribs): has been a productive member of the community since
May 11,
2005, with over 3,800 edits in that time, about 2/3 of which are in the article space. He participates regularly in VfD, hunts down vandals and copyvios, and comports himself in a polite and professional manner throughout. Besides, he's got the perfect admin name. --

He's like those kids whose parents named them "Grace" and they became a dancer, or "Hamburger" and they became a fast food magnate. Support. --

Support. This user has demonstrated significant commitment to performing vandalism cleanup, requests for sourcing claims etc. which show this user would definitely benefit from being granted administrator privileges. In addition, Hall Monitor has shown significant commitment to the Wikipedia community as a whole and shown civility, politeness and ability to assume good faith in communications. In short, I am certain this user shall use adminship well. --

Last, but not least, he reverted the entire conversation we had from his talk page,
see here.
Given the incident is not much more than a month old, I would like to wait and see how he faces controversial situations. So far, he has improved and left me this positive message in my talk page

Support. A trustworthy vandal fighter and wikifier. Hall Moniter is really helpful and friendly on Wikipedia, and I see no reason why we should oppose. —

Support. I haven't had a huge amount of contact with Hall Moniter but the interactions I have had with him make me confident that he would make good use of adminship.

Support I've always been impressed with the way he handles himself around the site.
KeithD(talk) 23:04, 19 August 2005 (UTC)reply
Support- I hesitated initially because of some vague recollections about listings at
WP:AIV that I felt were overly aggressive, despite appreciation of his vandal fighting. However, after a little investigation I find a proper caution towards questionable cases, am reassured by his responses below, and am confident he will be measured in the use of his admin abilities. -

BD2412talk 21:31, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
I have seen this user revert simple vandalism on a number of occasions with edit summaries demanding to see sources cited and such...now, each to his own, and maybe it's just his brand of humor, but I find it a little odd.

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
A. My overall goal is to make Wikipedia as accurate and complete as humanly possible. As a frequenter of
WP:AIV, I would be happy to lend a hand to address the clear cut cases of vandalism, as well as continue my watchlist and RC patrol. With time and proper guidance, I may also assist
User:Kbdank71 and company with the closure of CFD discussions.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. It is difficult to pick one contribution over another. Although none of these (in their present state) would meet my personal expectations for feature article status, a few of my favorites are
Jack Ramsay,
Randy Myers, and
Jim Fowler.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. This may or not be considered a conflict, but after discussing the issue at
WP:MUSIC, I went through and cleaned up approximately ~300 vocalist articles which did not
WP:CITE sources for vocal profiles. Previously, these vocal profile sections were a frequent target of vandalism and manipulation based on original research. At present, more than 99% of these articles have since been resolved by either eliminating the section or providing a credible source. Understandably, this change was met with some heated discussion from anonymous editors and regular contributors alike. After talking this through, I believe we have concluded that it is best to leave these sections out when no authoritative external reference can be provided.
