Wikipedia talk:Miniguide to requests for adminship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ask yourself if you are ready to be an Admin. There are a lot of responsibilities. Do you want them? I've removed this because I don't think it's all that accurate. I believe that adminship simply means that you can be trusted with the tools, and the landslide nominations of Sfoskett and Thames show that the community will be willing to promote admins who are unwilling to take up sysop chores. I don't think we should discourage trustworthy but busy editors from being admins. Comment? Borisblue 06:13, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- I had thought that too, but my rationale was that the responsibilities of Admins are not just doing Admin chores. They also serve as a face for Wikipedia. They are looked upon for help and other such things. So even if you don't intend to do sysop chores, you still have responsibility as an Admin. I am fine to leave it out if that's what people think is best. --LV (Dark Mark) 16:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
