Misplaced Pages

Here you can make a request for adminship. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators for what this entails and for a list of current admins.

Current Misplaced Pages policy is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active Misplaced Pages 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

None.

(most recent first)

• Olivier - I have been here for quite a while now...
  • I thought you already were! Of course you should be. --mav
  • Support: Olivier's organizational skills and patience are evident in him wikilinking virtual orphans, and the maintenaince of some ever-growing large lists. And the 5th most active! --Menchi 09:28 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Of course. User:anthere
  • Yep. -- Oliver P. 16:16 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • fifthed -- kt2 02:59 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)

• 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)
  • Make it so! --mav
  • One more in favour. Have read his edits. Fine. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 07:44 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Fourthed or fifthed, not sure which - noticed the name before, some time, and didn't notice any evil edits. كسيپ Cyp 08:35 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)

• G-Man Well I've been here since February and I must have written at least 100 articles in that time, I wouldent mind becoming an administrator. G-Man 00:08 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Yep. G-Man is one of the good guys. Second anyone? --mav
  • Seconded - Hephaestos 07:10 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Yes jimfbleak

• Nomination: kt2, a Canadian largely unrecognized for his over 5000 edits (the 31st 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.
  • He is a trustworthy and experienced Wikipedian, and with qualities suitable as an admininstrator. --Menchi 12:53 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Make it so! --mav
  • Can't, until kt2 accepts. --Eloquence 00:56 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Thanx for nomination. I'll accept that and look forward to contributing my share of abilities. kt2
  • Warmly support kt2, although my admin status is still pending. olivier 15:09 21 Jun 2003 (UTC)

• 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. James F. 06:12 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Support: I read his entire 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 "Misplaced Pages" on his webpage. :-D
    He's a Liberal Democrat. WP doesn't explain their ideology, but assuming from the name, it's not a racist, homophobic crap-party? (No idea)
    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.
    So, I'd say he'll make a good admin so he can do those tweaks he'd like. --Menchi 07:06 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • Seconded Angela 13:22 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • The lLib Dems are certainly not racist or homphobic. As for crap I couldn't possibly comment ;-) I'm happy to support James' nomination/application Theresa knott 13:24 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
  • I certainly hope that the Lib Dems aren't racist or homophobic or anything like that, because I've voted for them often enough. :) And yes, Mr. F. seems a sensible chap, so I support his sysop request. In fact, I suggested that he should make such a request just last night. I wonder if that's just a coincidence... ;) -- Oliver P. 16:16 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
