Hello CzechOut.

I just want to inform you that I have just nominated 23skidoo for adminship on DWA, after discussing it with him first of course to make sure he was OK with the idea. He's a good user who has been editing DWA for a long time, mostly under the IP address of 70 and later 68, and he is not only active and makes good edits in the mainspace, he also has the ability to stay out of arguments for the most part. That is one thing I would like to bring up, as I know you still like the idea of having Spiders back on the admin team. I have to say that I just don't think Spiders is the right person for the job, for the exact reason 23skidoo is. Spiders just keeps finding ways to get into long, fiery arguments with other users, especially 89, and while I'll admit that I do tend to feel more sympathetic to 89's cause, I don't think either of them would work well as administrators when it's so easy for them to be provoked into a fight. It's just not the attitude one would expect from an admin. 23skidoo tends to stay out of those arguments and just continues to be a good editor, a much more suitable attitude I believe for an administrator. And DWA definitely needs more regular admins. I haven't been able to contribute much these past few months and neither have Corey or you. While things were still moving along relatively smoothly in the downtimes, we're coming up to a new series and so activity should rise (especially if that spotlight I've just requested works out this time). This means that there needs to be at least one person there with a delete button to go around clearing the bad questions and making sure people behave themselves. I think 23skidoo is the best person for this job. That's why I nominated him, and not Spiders.

I'm just making you aware of the nomination because I know you'll want to cast your vote, and I know you still want Spiders back on the team, which is why I feel that I have to express to you why I think 23skidoo is a better choice. However, if you do feel that Spiders should also return to adminship, I encourage you to ask him about it and put in a nomination. If you feel it's right, at least see if the community agrees.

Whatever happens, and whatever is decided, I hope that it will turn out to be of benefit to the community overall in the long run.
