- I like to help this Wikipedia, specially putting categories and interwikis. If you agree, I will do my best to be a nice and useful operator. -- aflm 23:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Before I vote, I'd like to know your views about Simple -- what is it's purpose, how does it fit in with other Wikimedia projects, and what changes would you like to see made? -- Netoholic @ 05:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I will try to answer the questions in a small number of words. The Simple Wikipedia is a special Wikipedia because we make it to help people learn a language that is useful for them. It is its main purpose, but its articles have other utilities, for example, people can use them for make versions in other languages.
- A change I would like to see made is the way in which some users help us. These users create many stubs about topics similar to unknown bands and small football teams. They would help more if they create and expand important articles, for example, those of the What we should have page.
- Happily, we have nice wikipedians here working a lot to make useful articles. The number of wikipedians of Simple is increasing and I hope to see this Wikipedia among major Wikimedia projects, with many complete and good articles. -- aflm 00:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - aflm has proved to be a great editor, and I think that giving sysop priviledges would be best to help this project grow. -- Archer7 23:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Support. I think Aflm has enough edits and has been here longer enough to be given sysop priviledges. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. A productive, conscientious editor. Could add edit summaries a little more consistently, and get more involved a little more often in back-end discussions about policy, etc. and things like Wikipedia:Requests for deletion. (FWIW, I disagree about the primary function of Simple, but agree that ideally editors would focus on core topics--besides "the list", I see that as being history, world affairs, basic science topics, great thinkers, major historical nations/cultures/languages, and things like that. More pop-culture things like the band-du-jour; every movie, album, and video game or platform ever released; every fictional character/place/thing; etc. are better left to EN, at least until more of the basics are covered.) The stated reasons for being an admin don't really require admin tools, but the edit history shows enuf justified {delete} tags that I think the admin tools would be used constructively. Soliciting votes on admin nominations is frowned on at EN, but I can understand why the low traffic here might be more likely to cause people to resort to it.
