Gmcfoley
Gmcfoley has also been here a very short time, and has added a significant number of definitions, mostly of Japanese words. He has shown an interest in undoing the work of vandals, especially "exic*rnt". SemperBlotto 12:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I only just found this, and I am Honoured I have been nominated, especially considering how long I have been here. I would love to be an admin, it would save me from scribbling everywhere. I am already an admin at the simple English Wiktionary (simple:User:Gmcfoley) although I haven’t had much cause to use anything other than the delete button. If successful I promise to use my admin powers responsibly, I hope people can see from WS:ELE’s history (for 1 Jan 06) that I like to stay out of edit wars. Thanks to all those who vote (even the negative voters ☺)! Gerard Foley 01:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * For:
 * Jon Harald Søby 16:35, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As with User:Dangherous, support for helping to keep up the WS:TOW and ws:an pages that I set up. You fancy looking after the ws:inw page too, then effectively I will have been replaced. --ex-admin part-time sockpuppetting quasi-vandal Wonderfool 13:45, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Against:
 * The way he reverted my edits to WS:ELE on the first of January 06 worries me. He had not been involved in any discussion about the matter and did not participate in any discussion about after his reverts; see User_talk:Ncik and Wiktionary_talk:Entry layout explained. He was not able to distinguish between edits that were an attempt at improving Wiktionary and vandalism. This could result in a situation similar to the one we currently have with Connel and me. Maybe it's only because he's fairly new to Wiktionary and doesn't quite know how things work. But in any case, I don't think he is the kind of person the English Wiktionary should currently appoint an administrator. Fairly strong opposition, I'm afraid. Ncik 23:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
