*[[User:Poor Yorick|Poor Yorick]], Hi! I'd wouldn't mind being an admin. [[User:Poor Yorick|Poor Yorick]] 02:26 18 Jun 2003 (UTC) |
|||
* I have done only about 150 edits on Wikipedia so far but over 400 on [http://quote.wikipedia.org Wikiquote] since it started in late June 2003. I would like to have sysop privileges, and promise to use them with discretion. (Wikiquote does not yet have admins, as the main page is not yet protected, but once it is I will need to set up a page similar to this one on Wikiqote, and become an admin there as well. Actually I should do that earlier so we can delete some unnecessary pages e.g. pages that should have been created in the Wikiquote namespace instead of the Main namespace, and now have superfluous redirects.)<br>This would also help me as I am currently trying to redo the front page of Wikiquote (here is our [http://quote.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_new_main_page proposed new main page]. [[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]] and [[User:Angela|Angela]] think we should see what it looks like with the last two sections side by side. This would be easier if I could just copy the formatting from the main page of Wikipedia. If you don't want to make me an admin, please copy the text of the main page to somewhere I can find it. Thanks. [[User:Nanobug|Nanobug]] 16:26, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC) |

** Support: 150 + 400 = 550, not bad in such a short time. I also like his willing-to-learn attitude (i.e., not arrogant) exhibited in the Talk pages, so I'd recommend he be Wikiquote sysop as well. Seems like I'm abusing one-vote-per person system. CIA will come after me! :-o --[[User:Menchi|Menchi]] 21:46, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC) |

* Nomination: [[kt2]], a Canadian largely unrecognized for his over 5000 edits (the 31st [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians by number of edits|active]]). He has encountered his share of impoliteness from others, but, as far as I can tell, has never responded eye-for-an-eye. Judging from his past contribution, Kt2 is probably not too into banning or reverting edit wars, but administratorship allow him to maintain the articles he works on more easily and faster, as his workload is still going strong and stable. |

* [[User:Jdforrester|James F.]] - I just want to fix the standardisation errors, minor tweaks, and so on on the Main Page and others which sometimes crop up without having to bother anyone else. [[User:Jdforrester|James F.]] 06:12 20 Jun 2003 (UTC) |
|||
* I nominate [[User:Graculus|Graculus]]. Although a very recent contributor, he is very active, making up to 50 edits a day. He's already one of the site's best history contributors. In addition, he has been thoroughly vetted, having survived an edit war involving Adam/Bridget/Lir/Vera Cruz/Susan Mason/Dietary Fiber/Ril/Pizza Puzzle. He has also been unable to edit a protected page. His capability boundlessly exceeds the requirements. He has already needed sysop powers. And his ability to get around the Wiki has already been proven. [[User:172|172]] 08:28, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC) |
|||
** Support: I read his entire [http://www.jdforrester.org/biography.shtml biography], admittedly short, to see if he's a sicko. And apparently he's not. Just ''another'' computer scientist geek (Yes, probably like ''you''!) who likes to walk around (probably stalking people!!) and studies in the department of a renowned university. Although he seems to have a minor Anglocentric tendency, and a weird one at that, to spell our name as "Wikip[a]edia" on his webpage. :-D <br> He's a [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrat]]. WP doesn't explain their ideology, but assuming from the name, it's not a racist, homophobic crap-party? (No idea) <br> In addition to his seeming intelligent and unbiased life, he writes pretty good too. I like his one-paragraph explanation of the the Brit secondary education system, very encyclopedic. <br> So, I'd say he'll make a good admin so he can do those tweaks he'd like. --[[User:Menchi|Menchi]] 07:06 20 Jun 2003 (UTC) |

Wrong. I noticed, but I just didn't care. His opinion matters little to me. And frankly, I do not currently have any desire to be Sysop, as I do not think I can currently offer the time necessary to fulfill such duties.

Revision as of 02:33, 20 August 2003
Here you can make a request for adminship. See Wikipedia:Administrators for what this entails and for a list of current admins.
Current Wikipedia policy is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active Wikipedia contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. Most users seem to agree that the more administrators there are the better.
If you want to become an administrator then add your name to the list below. Any user can comment on your request -- they might express reservations (because, for example, they suspect you will abuse your new-found powers, or if you've joined very recently), but hopefully they will approve and say lovely things about you.
If there is general agreement that someone who requests adminship should be given it, then a developer will make it so.
Requests for adminship
Fonzy
Fonzy sysop request for Wikiquote moved to User talk:Fonzy/Sysop request for Wikiquote
Nanobug
- I have done only about 150 edits on Wikipedia so far but over 400 on Wikiquote since it started in late June 2003. I would like to have sysop privileges, and promise to use them with discretion. (Wikiquote does not yet have admins, as the main page is not yet protected, but once it is I will need to set up a page similar to this one on Wikiqote, and become an admin there as well. Actually I should do that earlier so we can delete some unnecessary pages e.g. pages that should have been created in the Wikiquote namespace instead of the Main namespace, and now have superfluous redirects.)
This would also help me as I am currently trying to redo the front page of Wikiquote (here is our proposed new main page. LittleDan and Angela think we should see what it looks like with the last two sections side by side. This would be easier if I could just copy the formatting from the main page of Wikipedia. If you don't want to make me an admin, please copy the text of the main page to somewhere I can find it. Thanks. Nanobug 16:26, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)- Support: 150 + 400 = 550, not bad in such a short time. I also like his willing-to-learn attitude (i.e., not arrogant) exhibited in the Talk pages, so I'd recommend he be Wikiquote sysop as well. Seems like I'm abusing one-vote-per person system. CIA will come after me! :-o --Menchi 21:46, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)
- Support for WikiQuote, but I haven't seen enough evidence yet to add my support for his Wikipedia adminship. Angela 23:16, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Llywrch
- I've been a contributor to Wikipedia since October of 2002, & "sorta" watch over the ancient & medieval parts of the history colection of articles. I've long avoided being an admin, but since Intel has decided to end my service with them for budget reasons, I now have copious amounts of free time to squander -- I mean devote -- to Wikipedia. -- llywrch 02:33, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Nominations for adminship
Note: Nominations have to be accepted by the user in question. If you nominate a user, please also leave a message on their talk page and inform them about their listing on this page, and ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination.
Graculus
- I nominate Graculus. Although a very recent contributor, he is very active, making up to 50 edits a day. He's already one of the site's best history contributors. In addition, he has been thoroughly vetted, having survived an edit war involving Adam/Bridget/Lir/Vera Cruz/Susan Mason/Dietary Fiber/Ril/Pizza Puzzle. He has also been unable to edit a protected page. His capability boundlessly exceeds the requirements. He has already needed sysop powers. And his ability to get around the Wiki has already been proven. 172 08:28, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Seconded. Good choice - not the type of person to abuse sysop power (to the contrary - he'll be a check on other Admin's who may slip into the gray area once in a while). --mav 08:37, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Thirded, he edited New Imperialism, and survived. Ксйп Cyp 09:13, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- It wasn't a matter of surviving New Imperialism, but surviving a page haunted by Lir. Notice that all tension subsided immediately when Lir/Pizza Puzzle agreed to leave and cultivate a new persona. 172 09:46, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Adam Bishop
- Adam Bishop -- A friendly writer responsive to questions. Helps improving articles, if he could, when others requested assistance. Has done 1619 edits in less than 2 months (June 9 - August 7). --Menchi 01:20, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
- I'll second that. - Hephaestos 01:21, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I can vouch that his contributions to a wide variety of Canadiana articles have been excellent. - SimonP 19:30, Aug 12, 2003 (UTC)
- I agree - Adam Bishop is an obvious choice. --mav 22:07, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Ooh, I didn't know I was listed here...I have to reply here, right? Adam Bishop 03:56, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Adam would be an excellent sysop. I enthusiastically endorse his nomination. FearÉIREANN 18:50, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I suppose I should actually say that I accept, which I do :) Adam Bishop 04:23, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)
RK
- It seems that Stevertigo wants to get RK to be Sysop. He is contacting a lot of Admins (see his list). I have the feeling that if someone needs so much support to become Admin, there must be something wrong with this user (I don't know anything about him yet, just a feeling). I don't like this kind of spamming, for this my vote will be NO (for now). Fantasy 08:19, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- User_talk:RK/ban displays many examples of his dispute resolution style. One could write an entire anti-rules for sysops from RK's example alone. Perhaps this is Stevertigo's objective? EofT
- Other admins have express distaste for such ... enthusiastic campaign. Instead of such unwelcome messages, we'd rather like to see solid proof of RK's adminesque abilities. And so far, Stevertigo hasn't provided to us any convincing arguments for RK's adminship. Or for that matter, any argument at all other than maybe RK's a prolific/skilled writer (which alone isn't enough). So, good arguments or nothing at all. --Menchi 08:32, Aug 17, 2003 (UTC)
- Stevertigo is trying to create yet another RK flamewar, intentionally, and I find that very sad.—Eloquence 15:19, Aug 17, 2003 (UTC)
I, RK, have been nominated for Sysop by Stevertigo, but without my permission or desire. Others have noted that this is a transparent ploy to drag people into a flamewar. Stevertigo's actions show behaviour not consistent with someone who wants to be a productive member of our community. He is only trying to start this flamewar, since in the last month I have taken a couple of Wiki-vacations, and he thought he could get away with provoking a flame war about me without my attention.

And frankly, I do not currently have any desire to be Sysop, as I do not think I can currently offer the time necessary to fulfill such duties. For those who seriously wanted to make me Sysop, thank you very much for your support, but I am not asking for any such action. RK 23:07, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)
