Derek has been with the project for three years and has amassed over 7500 edits, remaining active even after moving across the Atlantic ocean to Canada. I believe adminship is long overdue. uc 04:11, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've had lots of fun dealing with trouble on Wikipedia even without using the admin functions but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. I accept the nomination, thanks. -- Derek Ross | Talk

  11. 3 years and not yet an admin? Surely be bold should apply for nominating yourself for adminship! I especially like the modest and no nonsense replies to comments. Shane King 08:17, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. Anything that needs doing.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I enjoy editing but I'm not particularly good at it. However I am pleased with the translations that I have done on various pages.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
A. I suppose I must have but nothing has fazed me enough to stick in my mind.
