Thanks. I accept. Because there has been some controversy about me, I am going to bore everyone with a recap of my history here. I discovered the site in mid-2008. I was originally nominated for admin by a Wonderfool sockpuppet [1], which failed; shortly afterwards I was nominated by User:msh210, which passed: [2]. I continued to do a lot of work on Wiktionary for about three years, including quite intensive vandal-zapping. In mid-2012 there was a huge amount of damaging vandalism by a guy called Luciferwildcat (and various other names), and nobody was dealing with it, even after being alerted, and it made me crazy and I drunkenly deleted the main page and caused some other trouble; this naturally got me de-adminned (but not blocked, impressively). In the subsequent year I have continued with my normal creating, editing, and fixing. I am definitely a jerk sometimes, but probably no more than everyone else, and I do genuinely love Wiktionary and want to make it better, and I have a pretty compelling history of adding some thousands (or 10,000s) of missing English words, sometimes developing specialist software to do this. Also SemperBlotto may kindly vouch for me as a good vandal-patroller. Okay I'm gonna shut up now. Thanks for reading this huge paragraph, and thanks for your honest vote in whichever direction.

Wait a sec, I just realised that I'm supporting my own vote, which I've been called out for previously. Please interpret this instead as a proxy vote for WF, who is not allowed to vote any more but has expressed his clear wish for Equinox's readminification. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds01:19, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's quite fine to support your own vote; many editors either prefer not to, or else prefer to be explicit about it (by writing "Support (as nom)" or whatnot), but I don't think there's a rule about it. By contrast, I think there really is a rule against voting by permabanned users, so if you'd really like your vote interpreted that way, please <s> it out. :-P —RuakhTALK21:53, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I find it unfair that I kept my admin powers after all my shenanigans and this awesome user lost them for deleting that useless mainpage :) --Vahag (talk) 09:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support I was going to put a statement here, but I couldn't think of one that would fit well here, so just have my emphatic yes. -- Liliana•14:42, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support and thanks for the links of historical interest. I find it funny that the community trolled you more than the real WF sock(s). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:17, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Oppose . Because he's already a rollbacker and I think that's enough, given he once deleted the main page. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
