[edit] Ilmari Karonen

Final (1/0/0) ended 00:38 November 23, 2005 (UTC)

Ilmari Karonen (talk · contribs) – Ilmari Karonen is a very helpful editor with a great deal of experience on Wikipedia. On today he has been here for three months but he's been ready for adminship much earlier. He has good knowledge of Finland-related topics and sometimes adds to, or corrects mistakes in, Finland-related articles that I have written. — JIP | Talk 08:50, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Thanks for the nomination, but I feel I need to decline. Maybe I'm just too cautious, but while I certainly could live with the extra buttons, I don't think I'd have the confidence to make much use of them yet, nor do I think I've been around long enough to expect such trust from others. I still consider myself too much of a newcomer, and I feel there are still sides to Wikipedia that I should familiarize myself more with. Maybe next year? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 00:38, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
