Doc glasgow (talk · contribs) – Doc glasgow has been a registered user since 11 April 2005, and has accrued over 4000 edits since then. Doc specializes in articles relating to Scotland and Theology, but his participation extends far beyond this area of expertise. Doc can frequently be seen at VfD/AfD, where he is a moderate voice and a clear thinker whom I respect. At AfD, he already takes an administrative role by closing and executing votes that do not result in deletion, in addition to finding orphaned nominations and posting them for discussion. Doc sorts stubs, patrols RC, slices, dices, makes a wonderful sandwich and is always polite to other editors. The community will benefit greatly from Doc's ability to make use of the rollback and delete functions. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:03, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Support
- Strong Support. Everywhere I turn these days I seem to find Doc doing great work. He has also dealt with long and protracted debates, such as that over Authentic Matthew, with admirable restraint and good judgement. - SimonP 20:43, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Support as nominator. Somehow, my earlier support vote did not stick. Fernando Rizo T/C 22:19, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Support I normally see him alot in VFD/AFD and I thought he was a administrador already --Aranda56 23:34, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
- Support a very fine Wikipedian, knowledgeable, patient, firm on facts, steers a middle course between perspectives. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 01:24, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

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. I do a little RC and NP patrol - and I'm happy to continue with that in a more efficient maner (speeding obvious nonsense and vandal bouncing). I havn't actually closed VfDs - I just listed a pile of orphans, but I'd be happy to try this out. Anything else I can, as time permits.
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A. I've recently saved two or three from VfD by speedy re-writing (David Jasper and Laodicean Church and hopefully The writing on the wall) I'm rather proud of them - saves are a challange. I'm got a fuller brag list on my user page if anyone's interested.
- 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- A. Well, there was the Authentic Matthew fiasco - but being caught between -Ril- (talk · contribs) and a bunch of self-confessed socks would have stressed Francis of Assisi - I like to think I kept my cool, and contributed to the eventual peace. The only other stress was over a disputed copyvio tag on The God Who Wasn't There where I was falsely accused of bad faith. I dealt with that, in the same way I'd hope to with any future stress, I invited a disinterested admin to review the situation and my actions (on that occassion Tony Sidaway agreed my call was perfectly reasonable). My philosophy is to open out stressful situations to fresh eyes (and not neccessarly ones who share your views) and be willing to take criticism and learn from it (apologise when neccessary).
