Mike.lifeguard for checkuser
By way of background - while Commons has a few CUs, few are active on a daily basis in the sense of watching admin board, logs & the like. Real life will become quite predictable for me for a short while - I am pretty certain I will be highly inactive for December & January (if it goes on beyond that I will drop the rights anyway). As such I feel some responsibility to ensure Commons is "protected" as well as possible.
I've known Mike & watched his work for a fair while now. Firstly on en wb where he is now CU & 'crat. It is just possible that I had some influence in encouraging him to widen his interest (!) & so I was very pleased to see him active on Meta dealing with cross wiki issues generally & the blacklist in particular. He now has admin & oversight rights there (just relinquished as unnecessary - which says much about Mike's views on rights). I suggested to him that he would be a useful addition to the admin team here. I believe he is highly effective & active here and on cross wiki issues.
He is one of a small handful of Wikimedians who I trust completely. That does not make him perfect, however it does make him a person who is responsible for what he does - very important to me. I would ask the community to consider Mike's work seriously & I hope you are able to support this nomination. --Herby talk thyme 08:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Support – Mike has demonstrated his trustworthiness in a number of Wikimedia communities. I don't see a reason to deny him this. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Support I don't know how you are on non-commoners voting, but I'll vouch for mike as an existing CU elsewhere who is active and shares data to minimise vandalism. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Support Strong support. I have seen Mike in action as an editor, as well as a CU, and agree that he would be an excellent addition to the Commons CU ranks, together with the vastly overworked Herby. -- Avi (talk) 22:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
