User:Type56op9 for admin

 * Nomination: I hereby nominate as a local English Wiktionary Administrator. You all know I'm Wonderfool, and if you don't then Hi! Recently, I've been wanting to edit lots of templates, but to my frustration many of them are protected, and I figure the best way to deal with that is to just get myself admin powers again (it'll be the sixth admin account I've had, by the way - others can be found at Administrators/Former). So you know, with my previous accounts I deleted the main page. However, perhaps some of you can ignore that fact (it's ancient history, over five years ago!).

Support

 * 1)  More competent than some existing sysops.  He blew up the main page five years ago.  We had a mop who blew up CFI five days ago, and is still a mop.  Either that guy should lose his mop, or Type56 should get one. Pur ple back pack 89   18:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) on the grounds that if you are to become a sysop again, you should first get the Wonderfool username unblocked, and then get the flag at that username. bd2412 T 21:17, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

 * 3)  I am not convinced that "blocked on sight; sometimes not blocked on sight; admin" is a reasonably spaced series of steps! Equinox ◑ 13:38, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

 * 5) I'm curious what people who come to the site see when the main page has been deleted — do they see the same "this page has been deleted" message as at e.g. Appendix:Proto-Arawakan/ohki? Still, . Incidentally, over on Wikipedia, they have a second type of protection which is applied only to templates (and modules?), and a user group that can edit those templates (w:WP:Template editors) without being able to do things like delete pages and block an unblock users. I'm not convinced we need such a user group here; I'm just mentioning it. (We don't have so many templates or modules and we don't make so many edits to them that it's inconvenient for non-admins to have to ask admins, and crucially we don't have that many non-admins who possess both the need and the tech skills to edit templates and modules.) - -sche (discuss) 18:30, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) * I have only once been online at the right time to see the main page deleted. That was Equinox's turn, but yes, one gets the same message, and it's amusing to see the list of deletions etc over the years recorded there. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:08, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * 7) Ugly username. --Z 18:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
