Support

 * 1) Pretty much the perfect guy for the job. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 04:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Even though it will likely take away some of your activity on the RP, I can't not give my vote here. Dexington 14:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) He has certainly been up to par as a Decreton Lord, among other things
 * 4) Great user and definitely deserves this. Although he will be inactive for a while, he'll make it up a thousandfold when he comes back. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 18:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Brandon is an active user, has great articles, provides good constructive criticism, but doesn't get carried away so that it results in a flame war, and leads me to believe he'd be a good admin. D arth  P  hobia  00:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I just dont think hes ready yet, I have many more reason but I do not wish to speak them here or outside my vote.Troyb(CIS ShadowFeed) contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 13:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Good reason. Dexington 14:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just it. What is Troyb's reason for voting oppose? --  Riffsyphon  1024 14:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * He didn't like what Brandon said to him when he told CurrentBigThing that he should pray in order to find guidance. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No I dont think hes ready yet.Troyb(CIS ShadowFeed) contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 22:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

While I do believe Brandon would be utterly perfect for the job, shouldn't we have this election (for him) while he's here? He's going to be gone for two weeks, I don't think he'll want to come back to find that suddenly he has all of this responsibility placed in his lap. Not that I don't think he can't handle it, I just think he should be notified. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  16:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I would vote for him but per Solus. Darth tader Mandalore battles 17:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Per above. 18:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind, the election lasts about four weeks, so Brandon would still have plenty of time to find out about his candidacy. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:42, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Though I don't expect him to be the fierce admin Victor has been, Tader has become much more qualified. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 04:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay guys, I am very sorry for being inactive, I know I have said many things, but as right now here is why I am not very active.
 * 1) We just got a new computer and finally got internet(laptop broke, and lighting busted the other one)
 * 2) we have British friends over we were with them last week, now this week they are here(so I will be with them more often then on a comp:
 * 3) Next week I will go off for a week in Tennesee for a family reunion(if I am lucky for about 5 minutes I might get on, and then thats it)
 * 4) After the reunion I have my last week of summer:( but I will be on more but getting ready for school. In late august Tader will be all good and will make sure his wiki resolution for the forcomming school year will be write more fanon!
 * Yeah thats it, as you see I have, am, and will be busy for a bit, sorry, life doesn't revolve around wikis, as my mom, dad, and brother say:P Yeah, bye. Darth tader Mandalore battles 22:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As I say, my new nick, 1 vote Tader
 * I have a second vote!!! Darth tader Mandalore battles 01:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Questions

 * 1) How long have you been on Star Wars Fanon?
 * 2) Since November '06, so 10 months now.
 * 3) What do you think makes a good Star Wars Fanon article?
 * 4) What I think makes a good SWF article is an article that contains everything you need and want to know about it, follows all the polices, MOS, LOG, and has images. Most of all, a well written, good faithed, and hard effort put into the article.
 * 5) What turns a poorly written stub into an Article for Deletion?
 * 6) Well I think turns a bad stub into a AFD is, it is either a infobox only with a bit of info, or just a paragraph or two with some images, that is also hasn't been edited in a while, or doesn't follow any of the policies.
 * 7) How should the "Cabal" deal with violations of the Manual of Style?
 * 8) I personally think that the big bad template thrown at them first isn't the best way to have the first impression of SWF. I think that even if they do have the hello template trown at them saying read the rules, they don't get it until they make an edit. So in the end I think even if they have the hello template saying read the rules, they should get a warning verbally first, then the template, then the other warning, then I believe then they should be banened for a day, 3 strikes, and your out:P But if they come back and continue, the ban I think should increase each time.
 * 9) What is the biggest problem with Star Wars Fanon?
 * 10) At the moment I think there is no big problem, The one I can think of is dealing with vandalism in progress, refering to the CBT, Jwebb inncident a couple of weeks ago. I think tha the best way to of dealt with it was to ban him in the beggining, he made a PA, should of been banned then, instead the admins wanted to talk to him, so he was talked to and the PA's grew, then an admin made a PA, still no banning, and in the end we had a very bad outcome.
 * 11) How could you help solve this problem as a member of the Cabal?
 * 12) I would ask the other admins to consult this by talking to them via IRC, or there talk pages, or a forum. Then ask the community what to do, then whatever that outcome is, we use.
 * 13) How could you help solve this problem as a normal user?
 * 14) I would bring it up first by talking with other users and/or admins via IRC, or talking to them, then we could bring up a concencous forum so the community can discuss how it can be done.
 * 15) When should notices be placed on Sitenotice?
 * 16) I think that the messages should be either put when they start, like the Admin elections, and some should be a week before like the Uncat purging.
 * 17) How should a new user be welcomed? What would your personal Template:Hello look like?
 * 18) I think a new user should be greeted to a nice welcome template, and I like how it is, but I think the READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU START EDITING, should be a nicer color, but stands out. Because the red is a bit intemidating, so like a sky blue, dark yellow, green, or orange. But not be to picky or all nice but as a new user I would like that. Then besides the Hello template, I think a nice conversation would make them feel welcome and know they have someone they could contact to ask them something.
 * 19) In what circumstances should an article be deleted on the spot by an admin?
 * 20) An infobox only article or a very small written article that is old, and is also maybe uncategorized.
 * 21) What is your favorite Star Wars episode? (Hint: Do not say "Attack of the Clones")
 * 22) Empire strikes back, Ep 1 was okay, Ep 2 was one of my top 3, Ep 3 could of been 90% better, Ep 4 second fave, Ep 5 fave, Ep 6 was okay effects were cool story was a bit drab in the beggining, bu loved the quote, "It's a Trap"! :P
 * 23) How can the users of Star Wars Fanon be more encouraged to participate in portal projects?
 * 24) By them having a voice in it, or making it more interesting, I think that letting write what they want, aslong as they know everything about it, otherwise the other users in the portal project will say no, it's bad, and they would feel discouraged.
 * 25) How do you know we have a consensus?
 * 26) My number 1 obivious way is, the Consensus Track our forum:P But otherwise, the entire community is the consnesus, sorry Vic:P
 * 27) What parts of your life to you prioritize over Star Wars Fanon (if this is not a long list, you have no life)?
 * 28) Well, Family, friends, almost school, helping out with little jobs that my family need(like helping with the stores, or cleaning there house,etc...) then my XBL, talking to friends oversee's, and GM. I may not be the most interesting guy, but I have a small life:P
 * 29) How many digits of pi do you know?
 * 30) Lets see tell me if I mess up along the way, 3.14567958, I'm lost now:P I never really wanted to know, nor at them moment to need to know it.

So yeah, I might change it later if I catch a bad answer, yeah, so thats it, bye y'all, got a 8 hour road trip, leasr I got my XBOX:P

 * 6) Though he has some inclusionist ideals that I do not specifically agree with, he is still a determined user who enforces policies, writes fanon, reverts vandalism, and has no tolerance for rule breaking (such as the clans or crossovers). -- Victor  ( talk ) 19:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There was a time that Gnosis was pretty much the most deletionist person on the site . --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 00:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) What do you think makes a good Star Wars Fanon article?
 * Well, correct formatting, good effort, and a great plot to go along with it. Doesn't necessarily need to be as large as say an NKSCF or ZF, because length means nothing to superior storytelling!

 * 1) What turns a poorly written stub into an Article for Deletion?
 * Terrible grammar that can't be undone because it's unintelligable. Repeated warnings to the author about proper formatting that are ignored. Deliberate vandalism and the like.

 * 1) How should the "Cabal" deal with violations of the Manual of Style?
 * With a whole lot of patience. The first couple "offenses" should be dealt with as if the person doesn't know any better&mdash;which most noobs don't&mdash;I, for one, could never have figured out the wiki system if it hadn't been for several people on Wookieepedia who graciously decided to explain why certain things like bolding and categories were needed.

 * 1) What is the biggest problem with Star Wars Fanon?
 * Hmm. Several months ago it would have been vandalism, now, I'm not that sure. The one thing that comes to mind is the consensus debacle we had with the GAs a while back. Granted, I'm Conservative Republican, but even I think that such fascist things shouldn't be done here.

 * 1) How could you help solve this problem as a member of the Cabal?

 * 1) How could you help solve this problem as a normal user?
 * By organizing a labor strike and demanding higher pay! Seriously, though, by keeping the other users in line by enforcing policy. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 19:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) How should a new user be welcomed? What would your personal Template:Hello look like?
 * With patience and care. The wiki system is like rollerblades. When you first got them, you didn't know how to steer, move, brake, etc., but with hard work, patience, and maybe the help of a parent, you learned how to rollerblade. My personal hello would be to give them, like our current one does, important links to help them, and to give them my talk page, just in case they need help.
