Tremendous excitement over admin nominations

As usual, what is officially supposed to be no big deal remains a series of relentlessly personal character debaties.

On wikipedai's admin nominations page, intense debates have arisen over the ever-popular Tabushidayu and his impressive return to the community. Striving to surmount the flap over his "self-healing test", the quirky but beloved former admin promised never to anything so silly again. Sillier, maybe? Just kidding, forlks!

Willcmw looks like a rival to SlimVirgin's widest ever margin of acceptance, tagging an imprezzvive 40-2 margin. The quite, mild-mannered yet prolific writer looks like a shoe-in - and that's only after a coulp of days.

BrandonYusufToropov isn't doing so well. Despite being nominated by the ever-trustworthy Ed Poor, his nomination has attracted a distressing number of suspicious and carping "oppose" votes. What went on during that Mediation? Why did Ed suddenly change his mind? Will he have to wait a month and try again, or will the nay-sayers flip their votes?
