Widsith

Thorough contributor making Old English a bit more accessible to me (and to others probably as well), and his English contributions are equally interesting. I have no doubt that he'll make a very good and reliable sysop.

Accept: Thank you, I'm honoured. This site is a project I really believe in, and if I'm appointed I'll certainly do my bit to help it go from strength to strength. I am not a technical genius by any means; my strengths are in writing concise definitions, cleaning up articles, and etymologies. It would be nice not to have to scrawl {delete} quite so often. I live on GMT. Widsith 13:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

4. Definitely. Jonathan Webley 06:46, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
5. Should be OK. And after Widsith we should have a break from nomming sysops (5 new ones in a month should cover us) for a while (maybe a month or so) before nominating others. --Dangherous 12:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  Why? If a user can be trusted not to misuse the admin tools, it benefits no one for that user to be denied those tools. BD2412 T 16:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  True, I dunno want I meant when I said that. --Dangherous 12:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

Given Widsith's wealth and quality of contributions, I had somehow managed to convince myself that he was an administrator already! Well, we'll have to do something about that, won't we?
