Gerard promised not to even mention UW. He is sysop (and more) elsehwere, and is willing to just help squish vandalism here.

  • Accept nomination: I am regularly on the en:wiktionary, when I am online I am reachable on IRC. As to wishing an end to en:wiktionary, this is not for me but for the en:community to decide. GerardM 21:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • -- Even thought I don't beleive it is possible for him to go for very long without mentioning UW... TheDaveRoss 07:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • --Insightful, remarkable. Welcome. —Dvortygirl 08:11, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • -- Polyglot 11:55, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) I met Gerard personally in Rotterdam. He is a great chap and a fine member of the team. He cares a lot about this project and wants to change it for the better. He has to realize change best comes slowly and gradually. Anyway, he will probably have his hands full with getting UW to work, but I'm sure he will help fight vandalism over here when he sees it.
  • Should he accept soon enough to prove he's watchful of en: he'd be a great admin --Wytukaze 17:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    Even with your response: would you elect a president who didn't like his own country? 24 19:33, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    Our first several presidents didn't like their country...but that aside, I am sure the Gerard likes the idea of Wiktionary, he just has some new ideas about how best to actualize Wiktionary. Also, sysops aren't presidents, they are more like the neighborhood watch. - TheDaveRoss 19:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
