Template:Communitypage

Note: A closely related vote is going on at meta:Developer access - if the vote is approved, the chosen users will share the non-technical responsibilities and authority presently held by Brion Vibber, Tim Starling, and the other developers. Nominate your favorite colleague today, and don't forget to vote!

Here you can make a request for adminship. See Wikipedia:Administrators for what this entails and for a list of current admins. See Wikipedia:Bureaucrats for a list of users entrusted to grant sysop rights.

If you vote, please update the heading. If you nominate someone, you may wish to vote to support them.

Guidelines

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.

Wikipedians are more likely to support the candidacy of people who have been logged-on contributors for some months and contributed to a variety of articles without often getting into conflicts with other users.

Nomination. Users can nominate other users for administrator. Anonymous users cannot be nominated, nor can they nominate others. The absolute minimum requirement to be involved with adminship matters is to have a username in the system.
Self-nomination. If you want to nominate yourself to become an administrator, it is recommended that you have been a user for a reasonable period of time - long enough to be regarded as trustworthy (on the order of months). 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.

After a 7 day period for comments, if there is general agreement that someone who requests adminship should be given it, then a developer or bureaucrat will make it so and record that fact at Wikipedia:Recently created admins and Wikipedia:Recently created bureaucrats.

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.

Please place new nominations at the top

Andrewa; (11/0)

Andrewa is active and friendly on vfd and other pages, and has roughly 2600 edits in the year that he's been here. I spotted him on Vfd making some remark about "Do I need to be an admin to see that?". Trustworthy. Meelar 02:52, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Accepted. Thank you. Andrewa 08:58, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  2. Andrewa is one of the few I often see taking care of those someone-should-do-it type chores that I got too lazy for once the novelty wore off. Excellent choice, I actually thought he was a sysop already. Mkweise 03:48, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Mkweise; (5/0)

Mkweise has been here since August 2003 and has about 900 edits. He has done a lot of good work and communicates well with others. I think he would make an excellent administrator. Cautious 22:48, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, I'd be honored to accept...though I hope your decision to nominate me wasn't motivated by the fact that I happen to be largely on your side in a certain NPOV controversy. Also, I've been around since the autumn of 2002 (registered as mkweise since January 2003) and, while I haven't actually counted my edits, I'm sure they're a lot more than 900. Mkweise 01:59, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Just a note, not a vote: Mkweise has over 3,100 edits to his name. Chris Roy 04:06, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Comment:

  • Mkweise, I reserve any vote since I don't know you and don't think you are being involved by any dark purpose on your part. However, seeing Cautious and Seaman side by side (after the problems and questions about Seaman) would make me (were it me) reject the nomination (and surely ensure renomination at a later date.) - Texture 03:19, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hajor (12/0), ends 21:17, 27 March 2004 UTC

Hajor has been a solid contributor since September 2003, with 1,224 edits 2,535 (hjr + hajor) in the main Wikipedia namespace as of 12 March [1]. He has done a lot of valuable work on Mexico and other Latin American topics as well as helping out in various other corners of Wikipedia, such as Current Events. I think he would make a fine admin. -- Viajero 21:17, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for the nomination, Viajero, and for the kind words. If the community support is there, I'll be pleased to (humbly) accept. I look forward to having a less cumbersome way of reverting the odd vandal and to taking my involvement in this project to the next level. –Hajor 00:27, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Chris Roy, (14/0), ends 19:56, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Chris has a wonderful attention to detail (many many edits correcting tedious spelling errors) and is a dedicated member of the welcoming community. With 2,600+ edits since early November 2003, I think he's a devoted enough contributor here to make him well worth adminship. Jwrosenzweig 19:56, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, Jwrosenzweig, for nominating me! This comes as a surprise, since I contribute content only occasionally, tending instead to edit from the standpoint of a "harmless drudge", as Samuel Johnson put it. I revert vandalism when I come across it; I suppose being an admin would make this particular task easier, but I cannot really imagine using my powers for much else for the moment.

Levzur

Self-nomination.

  1. Oppose. He'd just use it to protect his POV or even ban people for casting aspersions on the memory of the great scientist, public benefactor and first president of the Republic of Georgia Dr. Zviad K. Gamsakhurdia. --Wik 05:16, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  2. Oppose. POV vandal. RickK | Talk 05:21, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  3. Oppose. His lack of edit comments, particularly when reverting non-vandalism edits, make me quite wary. And he seems to get in quite a few conflicts. moink 06:08, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  4. Oppose. Problems listed above, and generally unresponsive on his user talk page, where he has edited once since its inception- to remove a tidbit of criticism. Fennec 15:14, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  5. Oppose strongly -- Graham  :) | Talk 15:20, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
