 * Tennessee Ernie Ford refused the nomination.

I would like to nominate Tennessee Ernie Ford for a sysop position here on GuildWiki. Over the last 18 months, TEF has shown an unceasing consideration for the welfare of the wiki as well as the wiki community. He is dedicated to upholding a high standard of quality for the mainspace, he is involved in community and policy discussions, he has some knowledge of and experience with templates and other coding, and he is possessed of an unsurpassedly level head and eternal good nature. I have no doubts that TEF will be able to make good use of sysop tools to maintain and enrich our wiki. 05:13, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:


 * With regrets, I must decline the nomination at this time:
 * I think the wiki is currently well served by its current and plentiful sysops.
 * I prefer the role of gadfly to that of defender-of-the-faith
 * Despite evidence to the contrary, I am not sure I am able to commit the amount of time needed to serve the wiki well as a sysop. (As a contributor, I can come/go as I choose; as an admin, I would feel responsibility to be more systematic in my involvement.)


 * I am very flattered by the support, which caused me to rethink and re-rethink my position. Thank you for the honor of considering me for the role. &mdash;Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:32, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I support this candidacy.

 * 1) I go down the list of Admin criteria, and TEF passes all of them. He's loyal to GuildWiki, and has a good grasp of "wiki theory". I had already considered giving him more responsibility a year ago, but he had declined then. It's a good idea to bring the question up another time. -- ◄mendel► 08:52, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * 9) He is dedicated, writes loads for the wiki and gets regularly praised for his efforts. I see no reason to not put my full support behind TEF. An excellent choice --  Random Time  18:22, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
