Abd ( talk · contribs) - Abd has been here since 2005 and has rapidly familiarized himself with Wikipedia policies and procedures. He is a prolific writer whose analytical thinking, reasoned responses and willingness to delve into complex matters and see them through to their conclusion will likely prove useful in investigating situations and dealing with them fairly and thoroughly.

I accept the gracious and unexpected nomination. Abd 06:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC) reply
While I am currently heavily involved in some struggles against what I see as the propaganda use of Wikipedia by a political organization, I am actually far more interested in what Wikipedia is and what it can become than I am in any particular special cause. It dovetails with my major work, which I will explain in detail and make accessible. I would consider it my responsibility to use administrative privileges only in pursuit of the realization of Wikipedia ideals, assisting users as needed and to the extent that I can make myself available, trusting the informed community consensus, and not to advance any personal goals other than this. I'm a firm believer that freedom of thought and expression, bounded by certain necessities, are essential for intelligence.
