Hi (understatement of the century). As many of you are aware, the structure and organisation of Wikibooks is a mess. Right now I see a backlog of Vfds and recurring IP vandals and such, and am itching to help sort them out--but, darn, I don't have my deletion tab here! I'm already an admin at Wikipedia (see w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Master Thief Garrett for more) as well as the fledgling Academic Publishing Wiki, and I'm eager to have similar more efficient cleanup powers here too. So, um, what else can I say? Oh, I know... vote for me!!! :) Garrett^Talk 04:05, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[]

• Support - Garrett is a familiar face around the place, and is really helpful in fighting vandalism. We need someone around here who knows what they're doing (that's a criticism of my own teething troubles, and not anyone else's ;). (_Donovan|Geocachernemesis|^Interact) 06:13, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[]
• Support - You're not an admin already? I know that Wikipedia suggests that admins don't nominate themselves, but for right now I don't see a problem with active Wikibookians who have been engaged in edits for some time (like Garrett) from nominating themselves. There is a serious backlog on what should be occuring, and right now we need some more admins. With more of them around, they can police themselves as well if they get out of control. --Rob Horning 06:55, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[]
• Support - Definately trustworthy and active, but also the more selfish reason that, since this user is one of the few who actually marks junk for deletion, it would save me (an the other admins) time if he just deleted it himself. :-) It's ridiculously easy to undelete stuff should something go wrong. - Aya ^T C 19:16, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[]
• Support - Familiar, trustworthy, friends...what other reasons required for someone who has proven themselves to be dedicated to getting rid of vandalism and nonsense. - Serge 11:27, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Done - Will archive one week from today. Aya ^T C 23:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[]

Garett was elected 8 August 2005.

• Only 2 edits this year.
• Last admin action takes us back to July 2007.

Based on VVV's adminstats tool, which counts admin actions, not edit (so I may have missed someone inactive). — Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 21:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[]
