An administrator is also called a sysop (from system operator). You can add requests to this page for things that can only be done by sysops.

If you want a page deleted, say so on the Wikipedia:Proposed deletions page.

Sysops are allowed to do some things that other users are not. This is for performance reasons (it would make the website too slow to let everyone do it). It is also for security reasons (because they are trusted). If you want to become one, please say so on this page.

Anyone who has been adding to this website for a while is allowed to be an administrator. Jimbo Wales, the founder of the Wikimedia Foundation, said "this should be no big deal".

Sysops do not have any special authority. They are equal to everybody else.

A bureaucrat is a slightly higher administrative level that can perform a few additional functions. Bureaucrats can give administrator or bureaucrat status to other users following a successful request on this page. Bureaucrats can also help users who want to change user names. They can also "flag" bots, which means to hide their contributions from the new changes and put them in the bot group. Requests for name changes should be made directly to the talk page of one of the listed bureaucrats.

Eptalon

I would like to nominate Eptalon (talk · contribs) for admiship because of his experience, his vandalfighting skills and his user-friendliness.-- Tdxiang Adminship 02:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you all for the trust you place in me. I am looking forward towards placing my skills at the hands of the community, should you chose to elect me. My current work schedule permits me to continue editing Wikipedia in the range of what I did the last few months, about 250-500 edits/month. I am looking forward to being able to fight the vandals myself, rather than having to recur to others to block them. Thanks. -- Eptalon 15:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Excellent editor, constantly creating new needed articles. Good at handling vandals and is available often for supplying admin assistance in times of need. --Creol 02:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support After almost a year here, Eptalon really has got the hang of the project and should be trusted to fight vandals. Blockinblox 03:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support I would certainly trust him with the admin tools. PullToOpen Talk 03:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support as nominator.-- Tdxiang Adminship 09:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong support. Would definitely help this WP a lot. Archer7 - talk 10:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Support - An extremely experienced user, can definitely be trusted with the admin tools. - Tangotango (talk) 10:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support --§ Alastor Moody (T + C) 19:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak support I have no problem handing out admin tools to you since you've shown dedication through your work in this project. Just be careful of typos. zephyr2k 20:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support --Vector ^_^ (talk) 21:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support --M7 23:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Seems like a very solid editor and this wiki could use more admins. Misza13 20:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Netoholic (current bureaucrat)

This vote is necessary to find out if the only active bureaucrat on simple.wikipedia has the necessary consensus to keep his status or should be removed. Prior to this vote, Netoholic has been put on request for comments on meta and then the Stewards have been reported about the current situation. Other active administrators have also been asked to candidate themselves for bureaucrat position. --M7 18:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Except some brief delays in promotion, I have performed as a bureaucrat with no complaints until M7 has decided to persue this campaign against me after I made a judgement call and chose not to promote User:Tdxiang. These sorts of judgement calls happen occassionally, and should not be used to attack the person put in the position of making that call. It is equally likely that I might have promoted, but had people complain about that or that decision be regretted. -- Netoholic @ 18:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Update: Netoholic has now been desysopped by a steward (see Wikipedia talk:Administrators. This vote will now determine whether these are to be reinstated. Archer7 - talk 23:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
      • There is little chance of people reconfirming me since this trouble is all so recent. Reconfirmation of sysops is a bad idea because that job attract criticism over time. Apparently, my removal is the reward for putting over two years of hard admin and bureacrat work into this wiki - that it all can be shattered in the matter of one week. So, to all you ambitious ones, enjoy it while it lasts. I would suggest staying away from making bold, hard decisions, as you will end up being punished for them. -- Netoholic @ 23:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


  • Support - I see no reason why Netoholic should lose their status. -- Eptalon 18:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Remove - Those still having doubts can see this --M7 18:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
    • My choice to block you for your trolling and politicking was an admin decision, not a bureaucrat one. -- Netoholic @ 18:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
      • I was under the impression that this discussion was about removal of both your bureaucrat and admin flags. Most of the complaints are related to abuse of admin priviliges. Archer7 - talk 19:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Remove this page: request for comments and this: reported is the reason --Vector ^_^ (talk) 18:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
    M7 isn't a Troll, and THIS?? --Vector ^_^ (talk) 19:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - lol, such a tiny wiki and already has a wheel war. :) Misza13 18:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Remove - my reasons stated on the Meta RfC. Archer7 - talk 19:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Remove - Alright, Neto, this has gone too far. M7 is NOT a troll. I request for him to be unblocked immediately, because that was completely unacceptable. I am sad that it has come to this... PullToOpen Talk 20:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support removal after reading said meta RfC. Misza13 20:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Archer7 (for bureaucrat)

As stated at the Meta RfC, I do not have as much time to devote to this project as many others do, so I would prefer to have two other people as bureaucrats rather than me. However, I am willing to act as a bureaucrat for a few months or so, as we're gonna need someone and the choices are rather limited, and I have the time to perform promotions and other technical tasks. Archer7 - talk 20:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, a good and responsible admin, can surely be trusted for this role. --M7 20:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support --Vector ^_^ (talk) 20:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Archer7 is a very responsible admin, and I trust him for this role. However, we should look to getting more premanent solutions. I do not want to do this again, in 6 months time, if possible. -- Eptalon 20:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, good admin and I trust he will put the new tools to good use. Misza13 20:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support -- Archer7 should do fine as a bureaucrat. Blockinblox 21:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Blockinblox - bureaucrat

Zephyr2k suggested on my talk page a few days ago that I run for bureaucrat. I have been an admin since last March 7. While I disdain politics, I have become convinced that we do need a couple more bureaucrats, as well as more admins on the project. I keep my eye on the RC fairly often while I do other computer work, usually anywhere between roughly 7 AM and 10 PM. Note, I have never used my admin power in any content dispute, other than with blatant vandals. I feel that if we can harness the category system usefully, we could have a lot of useful potential toward our goal as a useful "everyman's" encyclopedia. Blockinblox 21:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong support - Thank you for your acceptance, M7 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong support - Definitely should be a bureaucrat. Archer7 - talk 21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Simple support Misza13 21:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Can handle the additional power, though same applies as ofr Archer7 (I do not want to do this again in 6 months). -- Eptalon 21:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Very strong support - GREAT! All of my dealings with Blockinblox have been very good (especially the quick admin vandalism interventions). I am absolutely certain that Blockinblox will use the even bigger set of tools responsibly. PullToOpen Talk 22:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
