Support

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Conrad.Irwin 23:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Would use the tools correctly. I have slight reservations about attitude, but hey - we're here to build a dictionary.
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support for the same reason as here. But if you are WF, and this vote passes, could you maybe try to be a better admin this time around? :-P   —Ruakh TALK 22:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Seeing as I don't exactly know who "WF" is, that'll be hard, but I could try. Teh Rote 15:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Wiktionary:Votes/sy-2008-12/User:Equinox_for_admin this is a user called Wonderfool and when I tipped User:Wonderfool I came across a page which was deleted twice by its own owner. Facetious, isn't it? Perchance it is interdicted to delete one's own page, so do not do it and I shall also cast my vote. Bogorm 16:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose Παρατηρητής 15:05, 30 December 2008 (UTC) (self-nominated)
 * Can you clarify your comment? Are you opposing just because this is a self-nomination?  If yes, I believe the policies page permits self-nomination.

 * 1) * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose pending vetting by a CheckUser. (I've got a feeling. My apologies if I'm wrong.) —Ruakh TALK 15:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose. Teh Rote is a great contributor who has learned a lot about Wiktionary practice, written and unwritten. Can't comment on what constitutes a "solid" contributor, but he's certainly more active than myself. Neither do I doubt his intentions. Certainly any and all contributors who have a positive impact are welcomed as part of the community. However, that isn't sufficient justification for adminship, and I don't yet see any reason why he should be trusted to this role. I'm not saying that any qualities are lacking, just that the evidence is insufficient when it should be overwhelming. The nomination is premature. DAVilla 10:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose Premature, per DAVilla. --Neskaya  kanetsv  22:13, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain \Mike 23:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Normally I would simply pass a vote like this without bothering to edit, but... even I have seen that things have happened around this user, but I have no idea about how it came to happen, so I cannot make any fair judgment in either direction. Hence the explicit "abstain".

Decision

 * Vote fails 3–3–1, meaning only that will not be made an administrator at this time. —Ruakh TALK 00:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
