Fred chessplayer for Bureaucrat

Fred is a highly trusted Commons member and has been around since May 2005. During this time he has selflessly and tirelessly worked on deletion Requests and other thankless and unglamorous tasks. He has done so with a professional and impartial attitude which is necessary for those in a bureacrat position. Fred has agreed to multiple requests from his peers to agree to this proposal. Please join me in voting for Fred for Bureaucrat. -Mak 17:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I already confirmed on my talk page that I accept to run for Bureaucrat. I'm honoured that Mak and others has this confidence in me. / Fred Chess 08:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I will make a personal statement too. If I get elected I will (a) take greater care to avoid conflicts as I believe that Bureaucrats need to be even more trustworthy than other administrators. I will take greater care in expressing myself unambiguously and carefully to avoid misunderstandings. (b) will get thorough understanding of the purpose of Commons so that I can both make sure it follows its guidelines as well as allowing it to change as necessary. / Fred Chess 08:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

• I recall that b'crats tend to need about 25 support votes and very little oppposition. I added this to COM:B. If anyone disagrees, we can discuss it. So this request should stay quite a long time to get the necessary eyeballs. pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Why did you add that to COM:B? I thought a b'crat was needed ASAP. / Fred Chess 09:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • Because I thought this was the same requirement that User:Arnomane, User:Dbenbenn and User:Ausir had to pass. But I checked and I was wrong, it's actually CheckUser that has that requirement. Our Bureaucrats survived on as little as 13 support votes, no opposition, so I will revert my change... --pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Done
