AustralianRupert (talk · contribs) – I'm pleased to nominate AustralianRupert for the administrator tools. AustralianRupert has been a highly active Wikipedia editor since 2009, focused mainly on military history topics. Since this time he has helped develop four articles to featured status, 19 to A-class and a huge 57 to GA status. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, as he has also developed large numbers of articles to B-class, and made a vast number of smaller improvements to other articles. AustralianRupert is a friendly, level-headed and highly collaborative editor, and a good source of advice to others - including through the many article reviews he's participated in.

In addition to his article work, AustralianRupert has a very substantial history of contributions to Wikipedia's "back office". He has performed a range of administrator-like tasks as one of the Military History Wikiproject's coordinators since first being elected to this role in 2010, and has served two one-year terms as a lead coordinator. In this role he has responded to requests for advice, helped solve disputes, and closed A-class nominations after judging the consensus of participating editors. In addition, he has been a frequent contributor to XfD discussions and discussions of proposed changes to guidelines or processes.

Overall, I believe that AustralianRupert has the experience and attitude needed to be a highly successful administrator. I recommend him to the community. Nick-D (talk) 05:43, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
