Jon Harald Søby edit

I would like to become sysop on the English Wiktionary to help remove vandalism. I am very often on IRC, monitoring the recent changes (and thus discovering a lot of vandalism). Having the opportunity to delete spam on sight would make things much more efficient for me than they are now, having to add Template:rfd to the entry, and then posting about it on WS:RFD. I am already admin on the Nauruan Wikipedia and the Norwegian Wiktionary, bureaucrat on the Norwegian Wikipedia and Wikimedia Steward (as of January 11).

Yes please - ASAP - SemperBlotto 20:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He seems like a well-intentioned person. He likes to resolve disputes. --Primetime 20:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had no need to look at xyr actions on other projects. Xyr actions in assuming temporary administrator status here, to help SemperBlotto, demonstrate that xe can be trusted with administrator tools. Uncle G 05:12, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can't a steward make themselves be an admin? If not, yeah OK. --Dangherous 14:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- In theory he can, but people who do that lose respect in the community. He's doing it right. Eclecticology 17:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Xe not only can, but did, as a temporary measure in order to help with the SemperBlotto impersonators. (See the block log and deletion log for the past two days.) Xe then stripped xyrself of the privileges afterwards and applied here for community approval of permanent administrator status. That's the very thing that I'm referring to above. Xe has already demonstrated that xe will use administrator tools to the betterment of the project. Uncle G 18:24, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - How very professional of him. (I mean, how professional of...err... xim?). There's seems to be quite a lot of blocking to do! --Dangherous 19:37, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had planned to wait until there were 10 supporting votes, but I have accelerated the process so that he can help to deal with a current crisis. Eclecticology 10:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
