Support[edit]
Support as nominator.—msh210℠ 16:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Conrad.Irwin 17:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC) Equinox does so much patrolling that it's idiotic for him not to have a sysop flag. Conrad.Irwin 17:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Ƿidsiþ 18:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC) Yep, sounds good.
Support For the love of God, please. I'm quite tired of doing things for him which he is obviously qualified to do himself. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 19:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Yes, indeed. DCDuring TALK 19:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Razorflame 22:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC) I do not believe that he is Wonderfool. Razorflame 22:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Nadando 23:25, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Support. I'm utterly disappointed over the opposing arguments. Whatever wrong he'll ever do as an admin will be revertable. --Eivind (t) 08:11, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Support. See no reason whatsoever to change my stance from the previous vote. --Duncan 15:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Neskaya kanetsv 19:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC) I suppose I support this afterall, though I'm a little nervous overall of it. --Neskaya kanetsv 19:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Jackofclubs 08:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC) - has but improved since the last run. --Jackofclubs 08:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Vahagn Petrosyan 21:48, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Though a diabolical plan I sense... --Vahagn Petrosyan 21:48, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Support. Nothing but contributions since last run. Probably too many contributions judging from RFV nominations. DAVilla 08:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Support. Dominic·t 12:24, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Support —RuakhTALK 13:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Support Even if he is WonderFool, WF as Keene helped me a good deal until he lost his marbles. Let him on until it happens again, if he is WonderFool :p — [ ric ] opiaterein — 17:05, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Oppose[edit]
Oppose WikiPedant 20:05, 23 March 2009 (UTC). SemperB has long suspected that Equinox is a sock for the notorious Wonderfool, who carefully built a history of substantive contributions before gaining adminship and going on a very destructive vandalism rampage using the admin tools. (See User_talk:SemperBlotto/2008#Wonderfool.) In an anonymous wiki world, there's no way to know for sure, but I trust SemperB's instincts and do not believe granting this adminship is worth the risk. If Equinox is just Equinox, and not Wonderfool, he has my apologies--but not my vote. WikiPedant
Changing to support after some thought on the issue. --Neskaya kanetsv 19:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Neskaya kanetsv 22:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC) The other vote is just too fresh in my mind still, and I'd rather not risk this. I have nothing against Equinox, but my vote is cast as oppose this time. --Neskaya kanetsv 22:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Abstain[edit]
Discussion[edit]
It should be noted that, since Equinox has had his identity confirmed by WM, if he is, in fact, Wonderfool, we can finally find out exactly who that is. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 23:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- I sort of assumed "Wonderfool" was whichever Encyclopaedia Dramatica user hadn't been banned yet and felt like a bit of trolling. "We are Anonymous, we are many" etc. Anyway, yes, if I go postal you get to see my passport photo. (Unfortunately not the slightly older one where I had blue hair.) But I am a good person. Tell you what: if any very regular Wiktionarian whose user name I would recognise cares to drop me an e-mail, I am happy to share my identity regardless (on the gentlemanly understanding that you won't splash it around everywhere). Then you can Google me and decide for yourself whether I seem like a Wonderfool. Equinox ◑ 23:24, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

- Why the secrecy? If I were accused of being Wonderfool, I would put my real name on my user page, together with a list of the places I have lived in since 2004. Do that, Equinox, and I'll vote for you - even if you are Wonderfool. --Makaokalani 17:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

- Ah yes. Well, it was w:User:Cary_Bass who responded to me, so you could ask him whether Wiktionary's Equinox is identified or not, assuming that a mere yes/no answer isn't considered a data protection breach. Equinox ◑ 14:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

- I am aware of the cautionary tale of w:James J. Angleton and I have not reviewed the WM process, but is it not still possible that Equinox is yet another cutout for Wonderfool? DCDuring TALK 16:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Passes, 16-1. --Neskaya kanetsv 01:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
