Uncle G
I would like to nominate User:Uncle G to be an administrator. He has most of what I consider to be the prerequsites:- He writes good articles, properly formatted. He has a good understanding of the Wiki architecture and "behind-the-scene" things. He takes an active interest in defending us from attack and is good at reverting vandalism. He is often online when no other administrater is awake. (But he hasn't yet created a User page, and does not have a verified email address.) SemperBlotto 08:57, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I accept the nomination. I now have a long enough contribution history for you to be able to judge me, I think. Thank you to SemperBlotto for pointing out the e-mail item. I had in fact set up an electronic mailbox especially for WikiMedia, just in case I forgot my password, but I had originally checked the "Disable e-mail from other users" checkbox. (I do have rather a lot of mail to deal with, daily.) I've now un-checked the box, and a test message from myself to myself has got through. I cannot imagine that the sort of people that we block at Wiktionary will ask to be un-blocked by mail, but SemperBlotto is right that it would be a potential difficulty if the avenue didn't exist. (Please use User talk:Uncle G and not electronic mail to reach me.) Uncle G 13:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

For:
 * -- --Wonderfool 12:20, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) Cos he warrants it more than i do and is on often when theres no sysops around. But get a userpage dude
 * -- \Mike 12:44, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) I read his 'pedia talk... and I agree it serves us a reminder not to judge a contributor from the colo(u)r of her user page link. :)
 * -- Polyglot 13:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) I don't think a user page or email address are necessary. All that should count is the quality of the contributions. Is Uncle G interested in becoming a sysop?
