Greeting message

If Mav doesn't beat me to it ..

Hiya, .. and welcome to Wikipedia. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of [[Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|Wikipediholics]] :-). Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Help]] to get started, and drop a question on [[Wikipedia:Village pump]] if you get stuck. Have fun!~~~~

Administrator message

Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion|]] for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few [[Wikipedia:protected page|]]s there are, among them the precious [[Main Page]], up to date.

Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be ''too'' worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at '''[[Wikipedia:Administrators]]''', please take a look before experimenting with your new [[superhero|powers]]. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun!~~~~
