Since joining the project over 15 months ago, Hyacinth has quietly amassed over 10,000 edits, many to topics related to music. His music contributions have covered essentially all styles from classical to pop, including many forms that are less well known. He has been a prolific biographer of figures who have been involved in music, both in recent times and the distant past. His scholarly writing and nonconfrontational approach could serve as a model to others. He participates occasionally at VfD and has undertaken various minor cleanup tasks, like adding categories to groups of articles. I recommend him for adminship without reservation.

  6. 15 months, 10,000 edits, and isn't widely reviled? Well, I'd say he's a sure bet for adminship, then. Everyking 03:21, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  10. One of the things I like about Hyacinth is that he makes his biases clear on his personal page, and he goes to lengths NOT to push them in articles. This shows great integrity. Excellent editor; I don't agree with him about a lot of things, but respect him immensely. In addition, he's amazingly even-tempered when attacked. I believe he would be a superb admin.

  27. Hyacinth was the first person who greeted me on my homepage, and ever since I seem to find his edits wherever I go on Wikipedia. I've been hoping that he'd becomes an admin. He's even handed and open minded. His rigorous scholarship is an inspiration. --Samuel Wantman 04:18, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
