Nichalp (Talk | contribs) changed User:Steel359's rights from (none) to sysop

I've decided not to spam a generic thank you template onto everyone's talk pages, so I'm slapping this on my userpage, talk page and the RfA talk page. With a final tally of 52/2/0 and a support percentage of 96%, the RfA went much better than I anticipated and I'm grateful for all the support and compliments people provided. I personally never considered myself a "terrific all-around editor", though I am interested in what people thought was so great about my nomination and answers. Thanks guys (and girls) -- Steel 12:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're a sysop!

Hi, Steel, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Please also add you name to WP:LA =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC) [reply]
