Support (7 users/7 admins/14 total)

 * 1) Like Trak, Goodwood is someone who’s been immensely helpful on the wiki. His first 1,000-1,500 edits were virtually all clean up edits to articles that aren’t his. That’s almost unheard of on SWF, unfortunately. As far as sustained editing goes, he’s only been really active since about mid-May. To me, though, “age” is just a number as far as Goodwood goes. He’s been around the SWF IRC channel for over a year now, during which time I’ve come to know, trust, and respect him. He’s an administrator on Darthipedia, and he’s an Archivist here on Star Wars Fanon&mdash;the latter of which is pretty impressive considering he hasn’t been here all that long, but, like I said, “age” is just a number. I think he’s got a good idea of where SWF should go in the future, and, while we disagree on some things, fresh ideas in a responsible admin team are always a good thing. He’s more than proven himself, at least to me. I know there are some users on Wikia who may scratch their heads at this nomination, but in the time I’ve known Goodwood I’ve come to trust and respect him. He’s never done anything to suggest he’s a negative force here on this wiki; quite the contrary, all he’s done since becoming active is help the wiki. I fully support this RfA. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 04:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He's got prior experience in Darthipedia, I doubt the power will go to his head.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:06, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) He's good. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 05:08, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * He, like many users here, knows what is best for this wiki. Like Trak said, this extra power does not appear to be an issue. -Bluethunder Contact 05:14, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It's the wood that counts. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:18, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Jack. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 18:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) You can tell how good the wood is by its grain and Goodwood's is straight and true. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:00, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Darthipedian? Sounds good. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:33, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) The more responsible admins the merrier, and his contributions show his immense care for the site, so he has my full support. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 16:22, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 7) Lock 'em up and throw away the key, vis-a-vis, this is fine with me.- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 23:23, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Per above. You'll do great, Goodwood! :D - Solus Talk to the Hand  04:09, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) I've managed to have a quick look over Goodwood's contributions, and I must say that whilst I do still have some reservations I do believe he is more than worthy enough to join the ranks of the admin team. -- Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:14, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (1)

 * 1) Honestly, I've not been seeing Goodwood's name as much as I have Trak's, but that isn't a sign that he's doing bad, just that I've been away far too long heh. So whilst I can't fully pledged my support to his nomination without further reviewing his contributions, I felt oblieged to put in a word here; if the rest of the users here have no issue with Goodwood's nomination, I'll trust in them. -- Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:54, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Rather than outright oppose, I am going to vote here, for now. I have two concerns with Goodwood that I feel are relevant. First, his primary contributions only date for a few short months. I'm not certain that this is enough time to demonstrate an active continued participation on the wiki. I understand the number of edits, and the seeming selflessness of many of them (I'm not judging if they were or were not community-oriented, as that's not my call). I also understand the "strike while the iron's hot" analogy. Still, I'm not convinced that this is not just a flare or stint of activity due to his recent writing projects. His skills make him more than qualified to be an archivist, and I'd like to see some expected success there first. Second, I am also not convinced that the actions that prompted problems elsewhere&mdash;some of which ultimately led to a ban from Wookieepedia&mdash;have been resolved. There are questions I have with behavior and actions that still linger and have been even reaffirmed at times over the last few months. I'm not saying that Goodwood has not changed, but I still have some doubts. As a result, I do not fully believe he is quite ready for adminship, and being an admin at Darthipedia does not prove anything to me. That said, I am not quite willing to hold these two points against him enough, at this moment, to actively oppose his nomination. For now, I just emphasize caution. Sorry, Goodwood. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 16:48, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, he is. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 22:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

I am very proud of you to have made it this far in so short of a time.Darth Void (Talk) 17:54, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
