====Reason for nomination====
While some of you may say his "past" make this impossible, I and, I hope many of you agree, I think it's Spirit's past is exactly what makes him qualified for this position. Time and again he has proven himself worthy, simple mistakes and misunderstandings kept this from happening sooner, now I say mistakes are completely natural, we've all made them. From what he has done since than, his anti-vandal work, his countless contributions, his constant willingness to help new users, I believe he has more than made up for whatever "mistakes", you nay-sayers still hold him accountable for. Allow him this position and I promise you he will more than prove himself worthy.

So I'm just not sure at the moment, waiting for more people's opinions on this.[[halowikia:Special:Editcount/Devout_Atheist|Colonel]] [[wikia:User:Devout_Atheist|DA]], [[halowikia:Administrator|Administrator]] 16:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I had a feeling this "at the same time" thing would come up, I can assure you all that it's coincidence, we didn't get together and say let's nominate each other, I have been talking about SoH getting another shot at an RfA for weeks now, last night I was informed that non-Admins can start RfA's when I heard that I figured I would start another chance for him, before I told him he said he was going to nominate me, I said this would be wierd because I wanted to nominate him as well, neither of us intended for these to happen at the same time, that's just how it happened. The only reason he is on the block log is because of a misunderstanding of point-whoring, check the RfA page it says a user is only ineligible for an RfA for being on the block log is if they've been on the block log for "harassment or personal attacks", like I said in my reason, even if it wasn't a misunderstanding he's more than made up for it.

I cannot believe it. People are opposing because there are too many RfAs open at the present? That's just like the ridiculous "too many admins" argument. And frankly, Manticore is quite harsh, we all know it, so why should (as Specops306 partly put it) ''misunderstandings'', account hacking, and very minor point whoring a.k.a. ARTICLE CLEANUP, all of which happened QUITE A WHILE AGO, make Spirit-of-HALO (who is, in my view, one of our most devoted Halopedians) ineligible for adminship? All of the arguments for opposition are quite weak, (except for the mysterious fact that Spartansniper450 and SoH opened RfAs for each other at the same time, which implies that that is either a really unlikely coincidence or some sinister deal) and as I stated before, the "too many RfAs" argument is absurd. In my opinion, with HaloDude, Manticore, RelentlessRecusant, Simon rjh, and Dragonclaws being inactive, and the other 3 admin candidates, if they are approved, inexperienced Halopedia admins, we need all the administrators we can get! I kind of do agree with the "bargain bin sale", as Justine puts it, but Spirit-of-HALO is one of our best (if not slightly aggressive) users. I'm ranting now, so I'll stop.

If I'm not mistaken, most of the '''Oppose''' and '''Neutral''' votes simply babble about the large number of RfAs, and not Spirit-of-HALO's character and/or history.

:That's because the large number of RfAs is more ''visible'' than SoH's history or character, which is a little dissapointing, but also something that could have been avoided: I have to agree with what Josh is saying. The RfAs of Spirit of Halo and Sniper450 would have been better off if they were opened a little later, not while we're having another two running already. That's another thing: A lot of people have opposed because we already have another 2 which were running already. I can guarantee you that if the RfA's of SoH and Snipes were first to be opened, the ones of SoF and Smoke would have been heavily opposed, if they were opened shortly after. Why? Because the ones that were opened first are the ones that mostly everyone has their attention on. I'm not saying that any of the candidates or bad or anything, all of them have a right to an RfA and all of them are great. What I'm trying to say is that if these 2 RfAs were opened once the ones for SoF and Smoke were over and done with, they would have had more supporters and a better chance. Like Specops and other voters said, it's not anything personal, but more of a "timing thing". I apologise if I sounded a little offensive, which I don't and never mean to, only point out my point. - [[Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia|<font color="purple">'''Councillor'''</font>]] [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:Navy; font-family:Algerian">Nicmavr</span>]] - [[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:Goldenrod">'''Ascy'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Nicmavr|<span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:Red">''''Vamal'''</span>]] <span style="color:Blue"><sup><u>'''''Light your way with honour!'''''</u></sup></span> 12:46, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

:Of course it's not too many. The problem on this wiki about adminship in my opinion is that there are too ''few'' admins, not the other way around. Having too few admins is as much of a problem as having too many. The problem with having too few admins is that the position seems to become much higher and important than it really is. While admins should display leadership and be model users, I am against admins becoming an "authority" in their own right. Admins are trusted users, not the site authority. A wiki like this in my opinion requires at least ten or fifteen active admins.

One of ''six'' blocks were legitimate. That was the block for the repeated violation of the signature policy. And believe me, his signature at the time was ridiculous. Spirit-of-HALO has '''NOT''' been banned since.

Spirit-of-HALO is a respectable, capable, great user who is definitely deserving of the position of administrator. I hereby (temporarily) close this file in SoH's defense.

:You know kouger, I could not have said it any better than you just did. Agreed, Manticore did ban him a couple (3?) times unnecessarily. The only valid ban in my opinion is the one for the signature violations. Which is not something that disqualifies you from being an admin.

Many people say that SoH is sometimes hot-headed, which I wouldn't know about, as I don't often talk to him. The reason I opposed is because of the "timing", as Specops306 puts it, something I agree with (Read my statement above). I'm not saying that this RfA has no right to pass, it does in every way. But personally, and many agree, it would have more support votes if it had been opened in a few months time. Correct me there, if I'm wrong. - [[User:Nicmavr|<span style="color:Goldenrod; font-weight:bold; font-family:Papyrus">Ascy</span>]] [[User Talk:Nicmavr|<span style="color:Red; font-weight:bold; font-family:Papyrus">'Vamal</span>]] <span style="color:blue; font-weight:bold; font-family:Times New Roman"><sup><u>Light your way with honour!</u></sup></span> 06:22, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

::I wouldn't be laughing about misuse of rollback. I personally do not like seeing people use rollback to revert good faith edits. It is demeaning to the person who gets reverted, because they get no explanation, implying that the rollbacker thinks of the person as a vandal. It is a little insulting. You can check my own record; I ''never'' use rollback unless the edit is outright vandalism, and I'd like to see that path be more widespread on this wiki. It simply good manners and respectful to give a reason why you are reverting an edit.

:::I was laughing because Manticore banned him for 30 minutes, not his apparent misuse of Rollback. I just worded it incorrectly, that's all. See? Everyone makes mistakes. Even some Halopedia admins I know make mistakes. But that's ok, because if one gets angry or cross with a person because of their mistakes, they are obviously short-sighted. It's not the mistakes themselves that we should bash people for, it's how they deal with the mistake after it has been made.

:::I'd also like to comment on SoH's responses to the questions. Okay, I admit that his response to question 6 is fine. But some of the responses clearly don't show adminship material. While vandalism is certainly unwelcome, just how many of you realise that boasting about being tough on the vandals only entices them to do more vandalism because they know they're getting a reaction? Anti-vandalism should be a quiet and subdued affair. I wouldn't vote for a candidate who uses vandalism as part of his answers for half the questions. If anti-vandalism work is all a candidate feels that he can do with his adminship, then clearly the candidate doesn't need adminship. Anti-vandalism is a major part of being an admin, but it is not ''everything''. That's why rollback is out there.

:Ok, now... after waiting and reading what the users have to say about my history, attitude, and the reasons for Opposition, I have to say its... now you can get pretty much pissed at me or something, because I don't care (side the fact this is the internet)... its all just a bunch of arguing (yes its arguing, I've been here long enough to know its arguing). I do respect peoples opinions, but if its "Anti-Vandalism" is the only thing I can offer, then Dog-gone-it that's what I'm '''going''' to offer. I may ''seem'' "Hot headed", but you guys just imagine me with a mad face, typing ferociously, and yelling at my monitor (yes, its biased to prove my point. By the way, its the way I type >.>), and the "To many RFA's" for opposition? C'mon... and the fact everyone putting "same as the person above", I think thats pretty much useless if I say so myself as for reasons. To go along with that, the "To many" deal... are you just lazy to vote for another one? Or some odd reason that you might tell me... Anyhow, I think you guys are taking this '''way''' to seriously, theres a difference between seriously and way to seriously. I appreciate the extraordinary support Kougermasters, but you don't have to do this. I also want this discussion to end, not having a few words after this concerning the previous subject, but I want it to end end. Thank-you.
