Jerzy has made 5000+ edits since September 2003. In addition to many fine edits, he has in the past been involved with organizing votes for deletion and cleanup and I believe he will put his powers to good use. --Jiang 00:36, 20 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Awaiting acceptance from Jerzy of nomination.- My goodness.
- In favor, i will point out that it would save effort by the ever-generous Angela, since i could do my own deletes when they are required for moves.
- Potentially on the negative side:
- I've got a fairly odd brain, perhaps most relevantly when it comes to making subjective judgements; some might want to think hard enough about this proposal as to consider how well i understand and compensate for those oddities.
- I am a confirmedly pseudonymous user, and some may decide that makes me in some senses less accountable than typical hard-core editors who, if i perceive correctly, are almost always more fully public.
- I have a few internally imbedded insects, and i might nag the community about them, a little more often as an admin than i presently do (and if i do, then you were warned [smile]). Two policies come to mind in this regard; altho i think they need to be complied with (and altho i correct others' deviations from them), i consider them both bone-headed and look forward to the time when others agree with me:
- Day, month, and year of birth and death in the first sentence of a bio.
- Applying the casing rules for article titles to titles of sections.
- I do not consistently monitor WP:VP, WP:CU, or WP:VfD, tho i regard doing so a "civic responsibility". I'd like to do a lot better at that, but hope only to do a little better, and may do no better.
- My understanding of an admin's mandatory responsibilities is "do no harm, or back off when you realize you did". I consider that a shockingly low standard, but that's the extent of the commitment i'd see myself as taking on.
- I'm the sort of person who would get this far, without having hired a campaign manager. Hey, there's no WP:Campaign manager page; where do i recruit one?
- My sense of humor is nowhere near as clever as i usually imagine it is.
