Cla68 ( talk · contribs) - Since joining Wikipedia over a year ago, Cla68 has done a lot of work on the Pacific War. He's responsible for raising a number of articles to FA status. I've also seen him dealing with vandalism and POV-pushing. I believe he'd make a good administrator. —wwoods 14:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Now Cla68 claimed that his motivation was 'COI edits' to the article by some people, but that quote has not been disputed, and to me nominating an article for deletion, with such a reference in it, indicates either extremely poor judgment, or some ulterior motive.

[12] Freeh said "Gary Weiss has done our nation an invaluable service by reporting the manipulation of the stock market by elements of organized crime. By outlining specific stocks and stock brokerage firms that were controlled by organized crime, he opened the door for FBI investigations in Florida and in New York, and for that we owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude."
