John Kenney, aka jlk7e
[edit]Hey, so why is nobody nominating me? I kick ass! Come on. eh? eh? (Actually, I doubt I would really do much with sysop rights, except occasionally delete pages, but whatever. I'm deeply offended that I've made so little impact here that nobody else has nominated me, so I've been forced to take action ;-) john 02:46, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- I second John. He seems to be doing some impressive work on the history articles. Angela 02:54, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Support despite or because of his dramatic nomination. And his good work. --Menchi 03:20, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Completely supportable. He's astonishingly well-behaved, and has never ranted about calendars. -- Someone else 03:28, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Support. We sincerely apologize for not nominating you sooner ;-) -- Cyan 00:49, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Support, I always thought he was one anyway! Adam Bishop 00:58, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Ambivalent -- I am prejudiced against hard-to-remember user names. When I first kicked off the "let's recruit a heck of a lot of sysops" campaign earlier this year, I thought we could agree that sysops should have READILY RECOGNIZABLE user names. (I don't mean to sound nasty, but I want to point out that part of TRUST is that people know that they can trust you; they have to know who you are, to be able to do that.) user:LittleDan changed from something like anon2984 (with a little nudging from me) because of this. Anyway, I don't think I should both VOTE ON and RUN THE SQL TO PROMOTE new admins, so just consider this me letting off some steam... --Uncle Ed 17:00, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Although unlikely, it's theoretically possible it could actually be meant to be pronouncable, I think some people use 3 and 7 as letters, when the arabic letters aren't available, to represent some non-english sounds. (Know 3 is, not completely sure about 7.) Ксип Cyp 11:03, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- Sorry to disappoint, but it's nothing so exotic as that. "jlk7e" was the email address I was assigned in college, and I've generally used it for ids thereafter, because it's easy for me to remember. (At UVA, all emails are your initials, a random number, and a random letter.) I'd be happy to change my user name to something else, but I don't know how. john 14:02, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- I think you just need to ask a developer to do it. Tim recently changed SH's user name, so it's possible. Angela 14:14, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
- Nothing as fancy as that -- Just log in under a new name and redirect your old ID to the new one. Mention your old id on your new page, in case someone needs to dig into your history -- for vandalism or something like that ;)-戴眩sv(easy to remember)

- Yes, I can change jlk7e's username. All the article histories will be updated to point to the new username. And I would be happy to make him a sysop once it is done, assuming the new name is acceptable. -- Tim Starling 08:15, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)
- Done. User:John Kenney is now a sysop. -- Tim Starling 04:54, Sep 18, 2003 (UTC)
