TUFKAAP
Currently, we have 3 active bureaucrats. Overall, we have 7, four are inactive. I've been around for a few years... as in Wikinews' first year... 2005. I wouldn't mind taking on the small but still important tasks bureaucrats have, as such, I'm going to nominate myself. --TUFKAAP (talk) 02:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Questions

 * Do you feel there is anything that needs to be done as a bureaucrat? Basically is there any specific reason as to why you nominated yourself, other then to help? Bawolff ☺☻ 02:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No and no. --TUFKAAP (talk) 04:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments

 * Technically we were started in November 2004 (but 2004 doesn't really count as a year). :P Bawolff ☺☻ 02:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course, I guess I should have clarified that 2005 was Wikinews' first full year. Since 2004 was more or less two months, and most of the time spent in beta. --TUFKAAP (talk) 02:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Votes

 * Generally . My only concern is that I'm not sure more beurrocrats are needed. I see no evidence of back logs (maybe bots, but i think that is a result of the bots approval process than any fault of the beurocrats). I definitly trust TUFKAAP to fulfil this role.

 * - I was actually thinking of nominating the other day, disappointed I did not get the opportunity but I am glad he decided to put himself up for it. TUFKAAP is already trusted as a sysop for a longtime, and will continue to serve the project well in this added capacity as a bureaucrat. Cirt (talk) 05:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * - we do not really need more bureaucrats, but if TUFKAAP wants to be one then I see no reason why not to give him the flag. --Cspurrier (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * TUFKAAP will make an excellent bureaucrat as he is a great admin and editor. --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 19:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually feel that while not vital, one more bureaucrat would be a better number, just to make sure we always got one handy. TUFKAAP is a great candidate and has my full support. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 19:39, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: It has now been over seven days since this discussion started, with unanimous consent in support. I think it can be closed as successful and the candidate promoted. Cirt (talk) 18:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I withheld from voting; thus I close this with promote Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 07:23, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
