''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.''

Hey, the name's [[User:Miles.oppenheimer|Miles]].  I've been a regular contributor since I joined in April.  My [[Special:Editcount/Miles.oppenheimer|edit count]] shows how much I've added.  I am also a rollback'r, which I think is just another sign that I would be a qualified administrator. I've been a regular anti-vandal, and I know that I would be even more effective at this were I a sysop.  My [[SmashWiki:Requests for rollback/Miles.oppenheimer|rollback approval can be found here]], and the concept is pretty similar for me: the position just increases my ability to improve the wiki.

List of accomplishments:

*[[Music (SSBB)]]: All of the video links and most of the Usage column other than what stage the song plays on.
*[[Template:SSBBStages]]: Adding the SSE stages, anti-vandal watching of all of these and all other stages.
*Stage infoboxes for all the SSE stage articles.
*Splitting [[The Wilds]], [[Research Facility]] and the others ones of the sort.
*General wiki-markup, such as stub and cleanup marking.
*Writing the articles [[Outside the Ancient Ruins]], [[Battleship Halberd Interior]], [[Battleship Halberd Exterior]], [[Battleship Halberd Bridge]] and more.
*Basic designs for templates, such as [[Template:Split]] and [[Template:Opening]], as well as actually ''using'' the otherwise defunct [[Template:Image]]

I won't say too much right now, but I think that my contributions speak for themselves. {[[User:Miles.oppenheimer|My name is Miles,]] [[User talk:Miles.oppenheimer|and I approve]] [[Special:Contributions/Miles.oppenheimer|this message.]]} 15:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

*'''Support''' Now lets check this guy out, Great edits, levelheaded, Obviously dedicated to the well being of this wiki and so much more. But here its comes, I think that he's a little too new and that he is moving this Rfa too fast considering he has ran for Rollback not long ago. Another thing is that I feel his ego is getting a little too big for this wiki. One small thing I have left is that I think personally a sysop has to be strict, someone who can laugh but still won't be lenient on a vandal who has vandalised countless times. This was originally going to be Neutral but seeing as how you ended your small "Discussion with Shadowcrest" so maturely and nicely shows how you can see the other person's viewpoint and your own self control ( at least something good came out of it huh?).

:[[SmashWiki:Assume good faith]] applies when there is no evidence to be found to the contrary. AGF does '''''not''''' apply when there is reason to suspect otherwise. Judging by comments and the like here and elsewhere, I have been forced to revise my position of support for miles. While the argument "you'll never know until..." is technically true, one can typically predict fairly accurately how well a user will handle the sysop position. Again, I have judged what I've seen of the candidates and voted accordingly. Imo, people need to stop voting because the candidate is nice or because they're a friend, because that's a terrible reason.

*'''Neutral with a lean toward support.'''  I'm reasonably certain that, based on what I've seen, Miles would make a competent administrator.  He seems generally rational, level-headed, willing to compromise, etc., all good traits, and thus the "lean toward support."  The only thing major thing that worries me is that, on the admittedly limited basis of some comments he's made on this RfA, he doesn't always seem to consider the implications of his words.  For example, ''I'' personally see his "yet" comment for the joke that he seemingly intended it to be.  I also understand what he ''meant'' when he disputed Kperfect's vote, but the fact is that perception often supersedes reality, particularly, I've found, on Wikis where semantics are often of paramount importance.  Those kinds of offhand, seemingly innocuous remarks can have remarkably far-reaching consequences.  As such, and because I don't feel I know Miles well enough to either fully support or fully oppose, it's a neutral vote from me.  &ndash; [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] [[user talk:Defiant Elements|<font color=black><small>''+talk''</small></font>]] 04:23, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
