2. Frequent contributuions to mail list seem to make sense, give the poor guy a chance. Lou I
3. Support a 24-hour ban. (Dang, where am I again?) - Tεxτurε 14:, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
4. Keep. He is my Prophet. He will save the world. 152.17.75.235 14:20, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
5. Is not a donkey. moink 16:39, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
6. Donkeys, fish, birds, whatever. --Michael Snow 16:48, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
7. There is no donkey. - Lee (talk) 17:43, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

9. Support. Operates a large pornography site.—Eloquence
10. Support. Has never engaged in an edit war; has a mark of the chosen engraved on his user page. +sj+ 20:53, 2004 Apr 1 (UTC)
11. Support (unless the allegations that he runs a pornography site are false.) Perl 00:32, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Oppose:

1. Angela. Has a tendency to act unilaterally. Also suspected of editing with undisclosed sockpuppets.
2. Brisby. Too new.
3. Not enough edits for me - yes, the account is old, but it could very well be a sock puppet. Make some more edits and then re-nominate later. →Raul654 14:05, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
4. No scientific proof that he actually exists [1]. -Mkweise 14:07, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
5. fabiform | talk. Shows little interest in the project - this edit summary sums up his attitude: (unwikifying because i'm too lazy to make a disambiguation page right now!)
6. Seth Ilys 14:, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC) Edits only sporadically, and then only to talk pages. There's absolutely no evidence he'd be an asset to the project.
7. BCorr|Брайен 14:26, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC) Keeps promoting the belief that he "created Wikipedia" -- some sort of weird reference to Al Gore creating the Internet. And isn't there some sort of play on words here? Jimbo Wales vs. Jumbo Whales?
8. ChrisO 15:46, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC) Blatantly made-up name. Everyone knows he's really called James X. Aardvark.
9. Operator of a large porno sight, abuseing wikpedia only to enhance the traffik to his empire of naked-boobie orianted filth. EntmootOfSilesianNaturalIrisTrolls
10. Username blatantly obvious anagram for "I jab em slow" -- such sadistic cruelty is unworthy of an administrator. Jwrosenzweig 16:33, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
11. Is not a fish. moink 16:36, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
12. I don't think we should trust more Welsh people with admin powers. Stewart Adcock 17:05, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • Good point Stewart! I change my vote to necromancy.
13. Very few contribs, using a false first name, wishy-washy. Pakaran. 17:07, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
14. I can't believe he's not better. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:13, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
15. No to pornoking. FoxNewsIsShit 17:34, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
16. Vote early, vote often. --Too lazy to actually create a sockpuppet 18:07, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
17. Delete, or redirect to User:127.0.0.1. As it stands, it's self-referential, and more than a little POV. Tillie 18:42, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
18. Strongly oppose. He looks like that guy who sells pot too college kids in the movie Blow and he has not sold me anything. Also I think Jimbo may be a male version of the term BIMBO. hmmm GrazingshipIV 19:39, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
19. There is no reason to believe that this individual would be useful to the project. — Timwi 19:44, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
20. Lirath Q. Pynnor
21. Not enough edits. ComputerJoe 22:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

   • But aren't you inferring supersymmetry? (Someone write that down - Geekiest joke ever)→Raul654 17:16, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
     • No, this is the geekiest joke ever: Hamlet via De Morgan's laws: Not ( (not to be) and (to be) ). moink 18:23, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Salmon:

1. Obviously. RADICALBENDER★ 18:16, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
   • Please disambiguate. The colour or the fish?
     • The prophet, of course. Didn't you ever see King Salmon's Mines? - εruτxεT 19:23, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Neutral:

1. Who is this user? Never seen in edit histories. — Jor (Talk) 13:50, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
