i am and thank you i'm flattered by your comments but i agree that i would not be electable at this time for the reasons you noted and also because i've had only limited involvement in rfa in recent months see some of the oppose comments here incidentally i think some editors might oppose mike selinker for the latter reason as well my standard for rfbs is has this user administrator demonstrated a consistent capacity to evaluate consensus so i'd gladly support him vegadark and or you but some editors want a record of involvement in rfas although i can understand the desire for evidence of familiarity with the process i personally don't prioritise familiarity with rfa as a factor more generally at this time i don't think i would be able to devote adequate time to being an active b'crat most of my time on wikipedia is taken up by ucfd cfd and occasional participation in various other deletion discussion venues in addition i'm trying to think of ways to make wikiproject africa more active and there are also a few redlinks in the mainspace that i want to turn into bluelinks so still i appreciate your offer of support if he is interested i would be happy to offer a co nom or support whichever he prefers the same goes for you and vegadark best '''''' talk
