1. Are you sure you gain enough support for this position to justify you running, given that your recent RFA on the english wikipedia didn't succeed?--Phoenix-wiki 20:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

   I'm not Majorly, but I want to make a comment here. Please note that the RfA did not fail because the Community didn't trust him; he withdrew it. --Agüeybaná (hábleme) 20:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

   That's right :) I had significant support there, and I only withdrew because of false allegations being made, which needed to be sorted out - I felt it best to withdraw. And stewardship is very different to enwiki adminship. I feel my experience on Meta and Commons which are both interwiki projects, and of Simple English Wikipedia, a small project, is good enough that I'll be a positive addition to the current stewards. Majorly (talk) 20:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

   I wanted to avoid commenting on these elections, but I feel the need to comment here. As an enwiki bureaucrat, I would like to state that Majorly is welcome to resume adminship duties at any time without the need for RFA. --Deskana 01:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

15. I've considered this vote more than any others. I like & respect Majorly. However I feel that, while his judgment may ultimately be fine, he may be less considered in quick decision.

20. I'm sorry, but this really disturbs me, since the blocked user (Kmweber) seems to have done more on en-wiki than only making edits to RFAs. I understand that on English Wikipedia users who oppose self-nominations per se may be looked strangely at, but I personally don't find this to be particularly disruptive behaviour. Rejecting votes is one thing, but indefinite block... Maybe it's a cultural thing, but this is the reason why I cannot support this candidate. –Ejs-80 01:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
21. Simplicius (de) 14:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC) I got known to Majorly in English Wikipedia: unfriendly, the sort of admin driving users away.

31. Majorly is too busy deleting images from Commons to be a suitable candidate. As many of these "unknown source" images are actually very PD, deleting 20+ images per minute is not enough care in my opinion. I have had to spend many a night looking into images that have turned up on CommonsTicker (often being removed from many pages across many projects), and I have a backlog of images to check -- So far, every one that I have had reason to look into, the image has turned out to be PD.
    Perhaps it's a job that needs to be done, but it is not being done in a manner that I expect a steward to undertaking it. John Vandenberg 03:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
32. I like the candidate and think they do a worthy job where they are, but some of the concerns re this candidacy are too major to ignore. Orderinchaos 14:49, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
