3. I concur with the aforementioned statements. Hawkins has contributed many fine edits in numerous categories and has a great combination of leadership skills and editing knowledge to bring to an admin position for the wiki. In other words: Heartily endorse yadda, yadda, yadda... --Muffynz

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

A. Helping keep Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion cleaned up as well as watch for articles that probably don't need to be deleted. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

B. I anticipating using the rollback feature to remove vandalism and unnecessary edits. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

C. Continue to act as the "Patron Saint" of Crew information pages especially in the area of merging duplicate entries. I anticipate this would include helping maintain the protected crew infobox template. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

D. Helping with the removal of old versions of YPPedia images that can be removed after new version have been uploaded.

E. Any other area that may need an Administrator as a sponser to oversee and guide other editors. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

2. Of your articles or contributions to YPPedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A. {{Infobox crew}} ^(Usage) template - I origianlly set up this template, which has since become one of the most used templates of the YPPedia. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

B. Carpentry Tutorial - I receive great pleasure that this article has helped many pirates improve their carpentry skills. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

C. Crew Sample Page - I redesigned this to be easier for new editors to be able to easily set up crew articles that follows informal standards for crew pages. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

D. Foot Brawl 2006 Trinket Color Chart - This one was not difficult but I'm proud of it because it took a lot of perserverance and coordination with pirates from all the oceans to get this buit. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

E. Category:Outdated Crew Information - Probably my single greatest contribution to the YPPedia has been updating out of date crew pages. I've not only been updating information but I have also been implementing standard formatting, adding relavent history, cleaning up poor grammar, adding missing information and generally trying to enhance crew articles in general. I have easily updated well over 500 crew pages during my editing career. --Kgarrett1969 05:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)
