Geo_Swan migrated to Wikisource as a place to host Department of Defense documents related to the extrajudicial detentions in the War on Terror over a year ago. With nearly a thousand edits to WS, I haven't seen a single questionable judgment call - he deals almost exclusively in Department of Defense documents and using them as sources in corresponding WP articles - and has single-handedly created Wikisource:Guantanamo as one of the greatest online repositories of this information. I have no qualms about his continued vigilance if given Admin tools, and think it could only help the project to have such a dedicated presence.

• Support. Wikisource:Guantanamo is a fantastically impressive reference resource—comprehensive and well organized. Geo Swan’s attention to detail will serve the project well. Tarmstro99 13:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Wikisource:Guantanamo is incredible and really shows what Wikisource is capable of. I'm sure he will be a great admin. Suicidalhamster 10:15, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
