Revision as of 02:30, 31 August 2004
Requests for adminship (not to be confused with requests for arbitration at WP:RFAr) is a page to nominate yourself or others to become a Wikipedia administrator, also known as "sysop". Admins have access to a few technical features that help with Wikipedia maintenance. Please see the reading list and how-to guide before applying here. For current admins, see the list of administrators; for users who were recently made administrators, see recently created admins.
Rules
Administrator status is granted to known and trusted members of the community who are familiar with Wikipedia policies. Administrators have no special authority on Wikipedia, but are held to higher standards. Because admins have been confirmed by the community as trusted editors, they are perceived by many, particularly new, users as the official face of Wikipedia. Therefore they should take care to be courteous, exercise good judgment and patience in dealing with other users. Nominees should have been on Wikipedia long enough for people to see whether they have these qualities before adminship will be granted. Most new administrators have at least three to four months of participation and more than 1000 edits. You can nominate yourself, but the number and quality of your contributions may be scrutinised more closely if you do this so it is advisable to exceed usual expectations before doing so.
If you wish to nominate someone, get their permission and then give reasons on this page as to why they would make a good administrator. Nominations will remain for seven days so the community can vote and comment on the application. Bureaucrats may choose to extend this where the consensus is unclear. Nominations which are clearly not going to gain sufficient support may be removed earlier to prevent the discussion causing ill feelings, which can make it more difficult for the nominee to seek adminship later. However, keep in mind that most editors don't visit Wikipedia daily, so a reasonable amount of time should be allowed. Some people believe all nominations should be allowed to run their course, and disagree with having them removed early. If your nomination is rejected, perhaps because you are too new or inexperienced, please wait a reasonable period of time before applying again.
Vote in the appropriate lists and optionally add a short comment. Don't discuss other people's votes in the vote list itself. If you want to comment on other people's votes or comments, please do that in the Comments section below every nomination.
Please note that anonymous users cannot be nominated, nominate others, or vote.
Current nominations
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 ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination.
Please place new nominations at the top.

Mike is an invaluable contributor with more than 7,000 edits and 300 articles started in the ~3 months he's been here. He is very good natured, and contributes well to the community in general. We would all benefit from his being an administrator. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 02:20, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)
- Thanks! Neutrality was going to nominate me, but I don't know where he went. I'll accept the nomination. Mike H 02:21, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

Comments:
I had a failed nomination attempt in the first part of July. I rejected the nomination, but it was evident it wasn't going to pass anyway. Someone took it down but I asked HCheney to reinstitute it so I could formally reject the nomination. You can see the attempt here. Mike H 02:22, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
Frazzydee (16/0/0) Ends 06:31, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Frazzydee has been an active member of Wikipedia since 7 November 2003. He has made 1,906 edits as of August 22, 2004. I think Frazzydee should become an admin because of his diligence in pursuing candidates for speedy deletion, vandalism and possible copyright violations. He interacts well with other users, and has gotten much praise from other members of the community. Being an admin would speed up Frazzydee's ability to deal with vandalism and candidates for speedy deletion, he has already shown judgment and diligence in pursuing these issues. -Flockmeal 06:31, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
- Thank-you very much. I gladly accept your nomination. -[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee|✎]] 06:36, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Siroxo (26/0/0) Ends 20:17, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Siroxo has, at this writing, 2347 contributions since 16 May 2004. Siroxo has done some nice work on articles as well as showing interest in a variety of housekeeping and policy issues, so I think he would be a very appropriate choice for adminship. I think he shows good judgment and tries to deal calmly with contentious issues; for example, his suggestions on Talk:Affirmative action recently helped that often controversial page get unprotected again. --Michael Snow 20:17, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the vote of confidence, nomination accepted. [[User:Siroxo|Here is a schmancy new signature and a line of text that is long enough to show how it might look when there is some stuff coming before it. Please take a look at it to bask it in all of its radiant glory

Rossami (35/1/1) Ends 05:11, 31 August 2004 (UTC)
Rossami has made over 3900 contributions starting 2 Apr 2003. Has shown interest in issues related to adminship, such as deletion policy, and done particularly good work writing up the mechanics of the deletion process (a page Rossami created). In my observation, Rossami consistently tries to remain polite and works to resolve conflict as calmly as possible. I think Rossami has earned our trust and the community would benefit from having this fine contributor as an admin. --Michael Snow 05:11, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Strong support. Was planning on nominating myself once the stats page showed a few more edits. Clearly understands the deletion policy, and will follow it with a more literal interpretation, instead of the more liberal interpretation of some admins. Also unprovokable, and a firm believer in hearing both sides of an issue before taking a stand. Niteowlneils 11:33, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- I'm changing my vote. I had initially voted Support, but Rossami's recent contributions to VfD in which he feels that any and all garbage is worth keeping on Wikipedia calls into question his fitness for sysophood. RickK 19:14, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
I have to go in the Oppose section since Rossami has not addressed RickK's comment or the comments of supporters who agree with the sentiment. I'd like to see some explanation. Where are the usual questions asked of the admin candidate? - Tεxτurε 16:51, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- I don't like the decision Rossami has taken but I won't remove my support vote. Checks and balances and somesuch. Mike H 20:05, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I don't agree with Rossami here, but we all make mistakes. I'll keep my support. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (talk)]] 22:23, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I had also been taken aback by Rossami's comments in that VfD discussion, but voted to support anyway. In the balance of things, I think he is and will continue to be a definite asset to the Wikipedia. SWAdair | Talk 03:40, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Every time I have ever been on the other side from Rossami, he has had the law on his side. This is a good thing. The problem is with the interpretation of law and how narrowly it is done. I never have had an occasion to do anything but respect him. He reasons well and truly. So long as he recognizes that interpretation is involved, that the spirit of the law is to leave room for interpretation, I don't have a problem. I hope his rectitude never leads him to the madness of intolerance or scolding. I feel confident, though, because Rossami does the most important thing an admin can do: he listens. That's why, even though I had churlish words for him on that VfD, I have no hesitation in supporting him. Geogre 01:24, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- If the Sty discussion is the evidence, I don't see a problem. He had a well-reasoned and well-presented argument, based on current policy. If the wikigods would only let such civil discourse prevail in every dispute.... Satori 01:52, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed. He has never, ever, ever, been contentious that I've seen. Geogre 23:14, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Self nominations for adminship
- Self-nominators, please review the qualifications above. Many editors feel that self-nominees should "exceed the usual guidelines by a good measure," have an account name that is many months old and have many hundreds of edits. This is not to say that self-nominators are necessarily any less qualified than "sponsored" nominations; however, many editors use their knowledge of the nominator as a "jumping off" point for considering nominees, and it is human nature to be more skeptical of those asking for a position than those being proposed by others. If you self-nominate, a good solid background is therefore very important.
Requests for bureaucratship
Bureaucrats are simply users with the ability to make other people admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above, but is generally by request only. New bureaucrats are recorded at Wikipedia:Recently created bureaucrats.
Please add new requests at the top of this section (and again, please update the headers when voting)
