I posted a request for temporary admin status at Meta to deal with a a troublesome user (Haydes) from the regular English WP. He was blocked recently there, and has found a home on Simple: creating dozens of bad articles. He's already vandalized my user page, and has proven himself to be very annoying on the EN: side. With Angela on a wikibreak, and unable to get in contact with the two other active admins, I'm not sure what else to do if this user becomes an even bigger problem. -- Netoholic @ 01:50, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to be a huge problem. He hasn't created that many articles, and it's debatable whether a sub stub is candidate for speedy deletion anyway. A lot of pages here are substubs, far more so than on the English Wikipedia. If he becomes a bigger problem, just list on vandalism in progress, but since he's not even banned on en at the moment, I don't think we should be auto-deleting everything he does.

- No, it looks like a few hours later he was unblocked (he came from an AOL proxy). I never suggested that we "auto-delete" everything he added. I think, though, that I'd like to make this now into a formal request for sysop status here. Since discovering simple:, I've found that I enjoy contributing here, and look forward to participating further. Let me know what you think. -- Netoholic @ 22:56, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I have made you sysop before I see this. I will let admin status for a week then. Anthere

- I see no problem for letting you sysop since no one complained. So I will let the status "on" (my opinion). If anyone disagree afterall, they can indicate it on my talk page :-) Please let this discussion on this page Netoholic :-) user:Anthere.
