#'''Support'''. I'm not seeing some of the things we usually ask candidates to have, but anyone who lasts a significant period clerking can be trusted with the tools. Take care when expanding into other areas, and you should be fine. [[User:TheDragonFire|TheDragonFire]] ([[User talk:TheDragonFire|talk]]) 06:52, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. Absolutely, strong SPI work and experience in administrative areas. Would clearly be a [[WP:NETPOSITIVE|net positive]] to the project. [[User:Mz7|Mz7]] ([[User talk:Mz7|talk]]) 06:56, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. This is one of those "gee, I thought he/she already was... " candidates. --<span style="font-variant:small-caps; text-shadow:blue 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em">--<fontspan colorstyle="color:blue;">Dr.</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">Margi</fontspan></span> [[User talk:Drmargi#top|<big>✉</big>]] 07:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' Industrious and trustworthy. He would be a good admin. [[User:Scope creep|scope_creep]] ([[User talk:Scope creep|talk]]) 07:08, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. Full support. Informed user , will benefit from having the admin tools. [[User:Govindaharihari|Govindaharihari]] ([[User talk:Govindaharihari|talk]]) 07:11, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

#'''Support''' good record, no problems at all, [[User:Atlantic306|Atlantic306]] ([[User talk:Atlantic306|talk]]) 17:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' Sure. [[User:Jon Kolbert|Jon Kolbert]] ([[User talk:Jon Kolbert|talk]]) 17:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' with a piece of free advice (you get what you pay for!) that I hope Sro will carry on working the content project they've started. I don't usually care about trinkets, but perusing creations and entries where Sro is a major contributor, I think going through e.g. a GA review could be fruitful for getting a little farther into the finer points of content creation, which I think will be useful experience in adminning (e.g. to help avoid the ANI trap Ritchie mentions). But I think NETPOSITIVE given the trustworthiness and specific skills. Thanks for all your work! [[User:Innisfree987|Innisfree987]] ([[User talk:Innisfree987|talk]]) 18:06, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
# 20 Mule Team '''Support''' Sro's tireless work on SPI's is but one facet of his value to the project. The mop and bucket will only increase that. [[User:MarnetteD|MarnetteD]]&#124;[[User talk:MarnetteD|Talk]] 18:09, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' good track record, mature approach to problematic editors, looks like he will make an excellent admin active in the SPI area. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 18:25, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

#'''Support'''. The user has been extremely productive and very fair at SPI. Sro23 can definitely be trusted with admin tools and I'm happy to see this user's RfA. [[User:Aoi|青い(Aoi)]] ([[User talk:Aoi|talk]]) 19:40, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' I don't believe we've ever crossed paths, apart from fighting vandals at the same time. A quick poke around no worries at all. All the best, just don't get buried in the snow! [[User:KylieTastic|KylieTastic]] ([[User talk:KylieTastic|talk]]) 19:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

# '''Support''' I have only seen sensible edits from Sro23. Along with his experience at [[WP:SPI]], I am pretty confident they will make a good admin. -- [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 20:00, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' No issues, plus wants to work in a specialized area. ~'''''[[User:Editorofthewiki|<span style="color: #F90000;">EDDY</span>]]'' <sup>([[User talk:Editorofthewiki|<span style="color: Green;">talk</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/Editorofthewiki|<span style="color: Green;">contribs</span>]])</sup>'''</span>~ 20:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

#'''Support''' I think it'll be net positive and I am glad there is recent experience with article creation. --[[User:Frmorrison|Frmorrison]] ([[User talk:Frmorrison|talk]]) 20:47, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

#'''Support''' – No concerns. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 01:15, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
# Absolutely, yes. — [[User talk:Fox|🦊]] 01:29, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' - Fantastic resume from what I gather. No issues that I can think of and the editor seems ready to step into the role as an admin.-[[user:White Shadows|<fontspan style="color:#003153">'''White Shadows'''</fontspan>]] <sup>[[user talk:White Shadows|<fontspan style="color:#DC143C">'''New and improved!'''</fontspan>]]</sup> 02:00, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' - seems well versed with SPI work, a much needed asset to the admin corps.

# '''Support'''. SPI needs more admin clerks, and Sro23 is an excellent clerk. [[User:NinjaRobotPirate|NinjaRobotPirate]] ([[User talk:NinjaRobotPirate|talk]]) 02:11, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Line 335 ⟶ 336:
# '''Support''' with delight. - '''[[User:Julietdeltalima|<span style="color:#006600;font-family:Century Schoolbook">Julietdeltalima</span>]]''' ''[[User talk:Julietdeltalima|<span style="color:#806000">(talk)</span>]]'' 17:53, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
# Yep. I found the answer ''"I'm only human; I've been wrong before and will be wrong in the future"'' particularly perspicacious. So often, we (meaning the whole human race) fail to note this applies to ourselves at all times. I like the cut of this candidates jib for that in particular. But also they need the tools and would make good use of them, so there's that too. ◦ [[User talk:Trey Maturin|Trey Maturin]] 18:06, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' Candidate meets all of my established standards and appears to be a net positive. Good luck!

#'''Support''' I knew pretty much nothing about this user before this RFA popped up on my watchlist. Since then I have skimmed through some of his answers to the questions here and messages on his talk page, and they have convinced me that he will be an excellent admin, due to his extensive knowledge of Wikipedia policy and how to apply it, his modesty, and his willingness to admit when he is not sure what to do. I am quite confident that he will do a great job if given the mop. [[User:Everymorning|Everymorning]] [[User talk:Everymorning|<small>talk to me</small>]] 20:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' with very high enthusiasm. A thoughtful self-nom, and a good reason for using the tools. I'm not concerned about content or other experience-related issues, because I think that dealing with SPI actually does expose an editor to issues of disputes and conduct, because the answers to questions seem very clueful to me, and because I'm seeing a good attitude of not over-reaching and of not just trying to tick the RfA boxes in order to hat-collect. I like everything I've seen here. --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish|talk]]) 20:11, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

#'''Support''' - Is definitely familiar with admin areas, has demonstrated a need for the tools, and seems like a very kind person. I fully trust Sro23 with the new tools that will become available when he becomes an admin. Also, we're at 269 support votes now - if we can get just 31 more within the next 11 hours, Sro23's RfA will be the second one to have over 300 supports!--<span style="font-family: AR BERKLEY; text-shadow: 2px 5px 5px gray;">[[User:SkyGazer 512|SkyGazer 512]]</span> <sup><span style="background: linear-gradient(aqua, #d580ff);">[[User talk:SkyGazer 512|Oh no, what did I do this time?]]</span></sup> 14:46, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
#'''Support''' Obviously, he can make mistakes, like that one with the rollback back in June, but he is aware of these mistakes and quickly learns from them too.
