Wikipedia:Requests for adminship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Cprompt (talk | contribs) at 02:32, 19 June 2003 (Second Cimon Avaro). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Here you can make a request for adminship. See Wikipedia:Administrator 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. Other users 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.

Current requests for adminship

  • Poor Yorick, Hi! I'd wouldn't mind being an admin. Poor Yorick 02:26 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Seconded. I've seen Poor Yorick for some time, and with some good edits. --cprompt 02:31 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • G-Man er well, I've been here for quite a while now, so I might as well try to become an administrator. G-Man 00:08 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one User to request sysop-status; it'd be nice if they had a good reason for it. I don't. The reason I am typing this is: One way or the other, I want to stop thinking about the subject. That's it. Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 18:23 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Seconded. No good reason, but no bad reasons either. --cprompt 02:32 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Cyp - A bit curious what the admin functions look like, and whether anyone has noticed my existance... I'm probably too small and easy to miss, for that, though.كسيپ Cyp 22:01 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • I've noticed. Cyp is a great contributor with a solid record of weeding and not getting into fights. IMO, Cyp will make a great Admin who will not abuse sysop powers. --mav 23:18 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

  • user:Ilyanep (requested via this mailing list post]
    • (negative)Ilyanep apparently has only been with WP for a month. -豎&#30505sv
    • I've elaborated through this mailing list post. You'll find my counter to the 'only been here for a month' argument. -- Ilyanep Jun 15 2003
    • NOTE:There have been some people second on This post and This one
    • Re:*sigh*. Like many people, I'm not commenting because I don't know Ilya. Hence, I neither support nor oppose Ilya's application. Martin 21:36 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
      • I don't see why so many people feel like making that certain. If they're neutral, why don't they just not reply, and nobody will care, I don't mean it to sound too rude or agressive if it does. ilyanep 21:51 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
      • Well, since there seem to be no serious objections and two approvals, I made you a sysop. --Eloquence 23:02 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • User:Theresa Knott Hi I'd like to be a sysop { I did't know whether to put the request at the top or bottom of the list. I've plumped for the bottom, if this is wrong I'm sorry :-( } Theresa knott 09:32 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • I'll second Theresa, especially for what she's done for images and HowTos. -- John Owens 09:38 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Yep. Good Admin choice. Make it so! --mav
    • I agree. The Anome 09:47 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Yes, because she pays attention to detail, like realizing that this is better with white that. KF 22:28 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • user:Angela - I would like to be a sysop so I can query the database to find articles without bold markings and to find new users. I currently search for these by looking at the recent changes page, but would love a way of doing it automatically. Thanks. Angela 19:25 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Angela has only been with us for a month: please send an E-mail to the Wikipedia-L mailing list, Angela. The Anome 19:38 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
      • Please don't. The mailing list is obsolete for sysop requests because of this page, also, wikipedia-l would be the wrong list anyway. --Eloquence 19:47 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
      • Angela has been here longer than that, her first logged-in edit was 20th Feb 2003, (contributions) -- sannse 20:02 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
      • My bad. I withdraw my comment, and vote for Angela becoming a sysop. The Anome 09:45 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • I think Angela would be a fine sysop - she seems to have the hang of things, and she's done a good job welcoming new users. --Camembert 20:04 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • user:Anthere (requested via this mailing list post)
    • She has already be nominated, seconded, thirded, etc on the mailing list. All we needed was her consent - now we have it. Make it so! --mav
    • I think it got up to about 78th. So I hereby 79th her nomination. ;) -- Oliver P. 08:33 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • 80th! :) Martin 13:48 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • I think we're up to 2,000 (I 2001th) :) Ilyanep 15 Jun 2003
