I haven't been here that long, but I've been editing the english wikipedia for a while, and have 788 edits there, all abuse-free. I recently found the simple english wikipedia, and I really like the idea a lot. But apparently some don't, with rediculous reasons like "it's not very big". So, I came here to work on it, since that's obviously better then complaining about it. If i became an admin, I would fight vandals, delete junk, and help simplify the interface some more (I still see some things in it that are not that simple). I hope I was not supposed to write this in simple english though... --Phroziac 00:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I realize that it is sort of ironic for me to point this out, but you have only been here two days and less than a thousand edits (overall, let alone on this wiki) is not really enough. Keep up the work like with testicle and I'll consider it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:44, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I thought that might be an issue, but it doesn't look like there are any real firm standards for this here, and I doubt anyone will hold it against me if I fail. As for edits, while I don't care much about it, I like statistics, and I counted up my total edits on wikimedia (mostly commons, en wiktionary, en wikipedia, here, and a few wikis with less then 10 edits), and I have about 1020 edits. But I really do understand what you mean, regardless of that. --Phroziac 02:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not so much the number of edits but that is a measure of experience, especially in regards to experience with other wikipedians. An administrator has the ability to block people and protect pages which is not a minor thing and I haven't seen enough edits to know how'd you react if some type of disagreement came up (you'd probably act very well, but still I don't know). Do you understand what I am saying? In regards to vandals and junk, there a lot that can be done, admin or not. On the other hand, what were the interface simplifications you had in mind? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I understand. As for those changes, here are a few I can think of at the moment....
- MediaWiki:Edit should probably say "Change this page", but I'm not completely sure of that one.
- MediaWiki:Savedprefs should say "Your settings have changed"
- MediaWiki:dellogpagetext, not sure on what that should say though.
- Ok, look at their talk pages. You don't need admin rights to discuss changing them. I admit, you do need admin rights to change them by itself. If no one objects in the next few days, I'll change them for you. Next time, why not write a note on the talk pages about bring it on Simple talk? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- True, *shrug*. Thanks. --Phroziac 13:45, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Strongest possible support. A top vandal slayer at English and one of the very few English users with the intestinal fortitude to break off and create his own wiki over at Wikicities, one dedicated to radio controlled models. - Lucky 6.9 05:24, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
