Jayjg was promoted to admin in Sept. 2004. Few, if any, of those promoted to admins at that time got that many "Oppose" votes:

There had been arb.com elections half a year earlier, but nobody from the "waiting-list" in that election was promoted, instead Jimbo choose to promote a rather controversial admin; Jayjg. There was a lot of talk about it at the time, people did not see that what Jay had done on Wikipedia merited such a promotion. Most seem to think that there were some off-Wikipedia reason as to why Jimbo promoted him. (Same as when Kelly Martin was promoted to arb.com)
