*{{Oppose}} - With all respect, as I've told SpecOps306, I think this RfA is extremely premature. His most notable contributions have been on the details of the ''Halo'' Universe -- something to begin with and quite admirable, but he has no Featured Article work and has not demonstrated, at least to me, any exceptional work with writing that is easily seen, because none of his major contributions have been lengthy at all. Coupled with his lack of technical expertise, in my opinion, this can not work -- administrators should have at least an intermediate understanding of templates, infoboxes, etc...While he's nice enough, he definately needs more work to show himself as a suitable candidate in my eyes.
