Celestianpower

I know this is probably discouraged and bad form, but I nominate myself as an Administrator here on the English Wiktionary. I've been here for a while (3-or-so months?) and am (as far as I know) the only Briton to be handling pronunciation (see my contributions). I really enjoy working on this project, especially the much friendlier atmosphere than the English Wikipedia, where I'm an admin already (and have been for yonks).

The reason for requesting the Adminship status is, for the most part, a selfish one: I miss the delete button. It's quite often I come across complete rubbish (you know the sort: random strings of letters, attack pages, strings of expletives). Then, on reaching for delete, I find it not there. I have to pester an Admin in the IRC channel to delete it for me.

So, in conclusion, I feel that I have both had enough experience here on Wiktionary and experience at using the powers on other projects to make me becoming an Administrator beneficial to the project, and my sanity. Thank you for listening. Regards, --Celestianpower ^háblame 11:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

  2. Does a yeoman's work on Wikipedia, no doubt the tools will help him do the same here. BD2412 T 16:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
  3. I'm certain WT will outbalance WP for him once he gets the tools. Which is a good thing, both for us, given his potential as UK pronunciator, and for him, as WT is simply more fun than WP :-) —Vildricianus 19:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
  4. Someone with a [delete] button on both projects? Maybe that Traswiki log will get cleared, after all! --Connel MacKenzie T C 06:05, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

1. It does indeed look like Celestianpower is the only person inputting audio pronunciations, which is great (that he is inputting them, not that he is the only one!) — Paul G 07:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
