Tompagenet

• I would like to ask the Wikipeida community if it would consider making me an admin. I have been a reader of this resource for almost exactly a year now, and an active contributor for eight and a half months. My principle reason for wishing to apply is the chance to hopefully cool potentially harmful flame wars and rollback the actions of users on vandalism sprees. Many of my chances to Wikipedia have been style alterations, but I have also helped start some articles and am glad to help. I can invest much time in the project currently, as I am on university vacation and generally will be able to edit between the hours of 15:00 and 03:00 UTC. I shall not be offended if my request is turned down and will, of course, continue to contribute regardless. Thanks for your consideration. Tompagenet 12:40, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
  • Neutral stat: 150 edits in 9 months (since Dec 2002). --Menchi 23:24, Aug 1, 2003 (UTC)
    • That is kinda light for 9 mos.-戴&#30505sv 06:58, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Hm. I need to see a more extensive track record of edits before I would support your application. --mav 08:09, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • I support Tom; he's been here for nine months, and as far as I can tell, hasn't been disruptive once. Sure, his number of edits may be on the light side, but have you forgotten about User:ilyanep who was made a sysop after thirty or so edits to the sandbox? -- Notheruser 19:41, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Yes, and Ilyanep disappeared soon after. I support Tom's request as well. Just a few days before Zippy became an admin (see below), although he has made even fewer edits than Tom. So it wouldn't be fair to exclude Tom just because of the number of his edits. -- Cordyph 20:58, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • I agree with the above. Unless there are explicit objections, I'll make Tom a sysop.--—Eloquence 22:08, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)
