=== Ugen64 ===
*] I'd like adminship, mainly because of all those vandalisms I see and have to correct (usually by writing a stub, because I am like that). I've been here for about, oh, 6 months, but I've only contributed significantly for about 4 months. I've asked once before, but was rejected. ] 14:09, Dec 5, 2003 (UTC)
**Support. I have no reason to believe that ugen64 would not make a good sysop. Quite the opposite. ] 02:15, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)
**Support. Didn't have enough information to support last time, but do now (300 non-minor edits in the last two weeks alone, many of them very good ones). --] 02:47, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)
**I withdraw my oppostion. ] 15:54, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
**Also support; seems like a good contributor. - ] 16:05, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
**This has nothing to do with anything, but how do I tell exactly how many edits I have (besides counting)? Oh, and thanks by the way for the support :-). ] 16:15, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)
*** Crank up the limit number on your user contributions page and count. I doubt anyone counts by hand. <tt>;-)</tt> ] 20:49, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)
*** ] gave me a extremely Wikigenius tip on my ]... actually it was kinda common sense :-). ] 20:54, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)
**I pledge support for ] to become an administrator, because he may edit websites.
***Well... thanks... I guess... ] 20:58, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC)

:I'm willing, if the community wants me. I nominated myself a month or two back, and the consensus was that I wasn't ready. I don't think I'd be one of the more active admins, like you, Angela, Evercat, or Dysprosia.

* Defer. Pakaran is a good contributor, but he's been here for just two months with 270 edits of article pages. Perhaps a *bit* more time only because we should be consistent. WP has rejected other folks for too little experience. ] 06:11, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the nomination and for all the support. I never would have predicted that I'd be described here as non-controversial. I'm still waiting for the roars of disapproval to roll in.

===Michael Hardy===
I would like to nominate ] for adminship. He's been here since at least October 2002 (March 2002 if you count the page move bug) and has made over 12k edits. I checked a couple of times to make sure he wasn't already listed as an ], and to my surprise he wasn't. He writes good articles and is helpful and friendly to others. ] 06:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)


]
* Support. Does some valuable work, very knowledgeable - but I'd like Michael to stick with some conventions like instead of visible inline comments, use HTML comments or the talk page. ] 06:48, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
]
* Huh? You mean he isn't already? Support, of course. Michael can be terse to the point of rudeness, but he does an incredible amount of very tedious and absolutely essential copyediting work, always with care and accuracy, keeps a cool head, and he cooperates effectively with other workers. He will be a first-rate addition to the team. ] 08:08, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

* Yep, support. --] 08:34, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
*Support, of course - thought he already was. Even checked to see if he was just accidentally removed from the list somehow... ] ] ] 08:53, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
*Support. Wanted to nominate, but had already nominated two others recently. --] 17:08, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello. I am flattered by the attention. Would such a status require me (or enable me) to actually ''do'' something? ] 22:06, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)

*Support. Does a great job of correcting newbie mistakes. ] 02:05, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

We have disagreed, and will (no doubt) continue to disagree, on a number of points of style, but such is the wonder of our diverse global society! ] 02:17, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

** That's okay, but I think you could use a bit more time and experience on Misplaced Pages as an editor before you become a sysop.

*My God! What a way to start a day! Well, i thank everybody for support, encoragment and ego-boosting. Its very nice indeed to see my work acknowledged by so many wikipeers, when i'm used to see my friends and family get bored to death with my research on these topics. But i have my reservations about this. Its not that i dont want, i do!, but the thing is that i have a PhD to do. In Geology, not the Romans... I spend already too much time on the wiki without further excuse. I'm afraid the only task i would do is to delete junk and perhaps cooperate in the Main Page editing (I dislike edit wars and i do not wish to get involved in mess by protecting/unprotecting pages.) But... this makes me very proud! ] 10:12, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)

** OK lets give it a try! How does this work now? ]
*** A developer will sysop-fy you in a few days. Then, you can do the "delete junk" when you catch one, and do some "Main Page editing" when you feel it needs some. There are over 100 sysops, so the work isn't yours alone. There's plenty of time for other stuff. :-) --] 22:24, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)

===Daniel Quinlan===

It would be nice to be able to help people out more often and handle trivial problems. I can't claim I plan to use administrator rights every day, but it seems to be at least once a week or so that I wish I could address something, but have to wait and let someone else fix it (like deleting a redirect, for example). I won't abuse administrator status or make use it in any article where I've been actively involved, in an active disagreement with people, etc. I've been a Misplaced Pages contributor since Dec 6, 2002 and have made 1317 non-minor edits since I started. That's about 4 per day. I think I've made some particularly good contributions on ], ] (and sub-articles), ] (and related articles), and elsewhere (well, I think most (nobody's perfect) of my edits are great ;-). I was also quite involved in the discussion around advertizing and when redirects can be deleted, so I've been around and involved for quite a while. ] 07:42, Oct 21, 2003 (UTC)

===Arwel Parry===
I've been here since the end of January, and have only managed to be involved in one edit war (with Eloquence over date formats in ]). I'm not the most prolific author, but those I do write tend to be quite, um, encyclopaedic (see most of the denomination articles off ] for example, or ] (the interest in money comes from not having much!)), and I've also got a bit of a spelling fetish, hence quite a lot of minor typo edits. I'm also the sole admin over on cy.wikipedia. ] 14:20, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

**''Ah, the joys of irony! My point being that as I've only been in 1 edit war, I don't go looking for them (and I didn't start that one). As the outcome was that we got date formats made a user preference, I think I can safely claim that most people were happy with the result of it :)'' ]
**So you're asking that Eloquence (and probably most sysops, myself included) be de-opped for being involved in an edit war? We look for good behavior with the hope that this good behavior continues when one is a sysop. Deteriorating behavior once a user gains this status should not be permitted. --] 23:01, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
**Edit wars can't always be avoided, sadly, for example, when not reverting a certain change for too long would mean that work that has already been done needs to be done again. In any case, I don't see that as sufficient reason to oppose Arwel's sysop status.] 10:50, Oct 10, 2003 (UTC)
*Support: a solid contributor, I'me surprised he isn't one already ] 22:56, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
*Support. I've known Arwel elsenet for quite a while, and he's sensible and calm. (As a side note, if we de-sysop'd everyone who's ever been in an edit war, there'd be almost no sysops left, and Ed wouldn't be one of them. I probably wouldn't either.) ] 23:16, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
*Support. About 1000 edits going back to February. Re: edit wars, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" ]
*Support. Looks good.] 05:37, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)
*Aye. -- ] 06:38, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)
*Support. *blush* Ah, the sadness of irony! :-( I utterly misconstrued Arwel's point and hereby reverse my hasty vote. I can already feel ]'s eyes on me... --] 14:21, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)

****It took over two weeks in my case. Enjoy the wait. :) -- ] 03:58, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
*****A well-defined policy would make me slightly less anxious about doing this myself. What should the minimum listing time be? How many people need to give their assent? Snoyes is a now sysop, BTW. -- ] 04:54, Oct 8, 2003 (UTC)
****According to comments made to me by ] and ] while I was in sysop-promotion limbo, promotion requires two other users voicing support. I'm not sure how things are resolved if someone voices dissent. -- ] 05:17, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)

===Jakenelson===
I know I haven't been here long, so I can understand if people say no, but I've become quite the addict here... and I'm tired of having revert wars with anon IP vandals (12.65.43.243, 68.5.127.81, I think another I've forgotten), plus I'd like to be able to delete utter junk pages myself. (On a semi-separate side note (noticing past namechanges at point of adminship), I wonder if it'd be possible for my username to be changed to Jake? It's listed as in use, but the user's made no edits. If not, I'd kind of prefer Jake Nelson to my current Jakenelson.) Thanks, ] 10:53, 2003 Sep 20 (UTC)

===sugarfish===
Can I be an Admin please? Well, I'm fairly new here (about 3 months) and I'm completely hooked. There's no real rhyme or reason to what I edit, but I'm working my way through 80s music... slowly, and doing a lot of good stuff with American History, which ain't bad for a Brit! So I figured... why not? -- ] 07:50, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)
