#You would like to help keep the [[Central Wikicity]] free from vandalism and other bad edits,
==About me==

#you are an admin on at least one other Wikicity,
I'm the Vice-President of [[Wikia]], the company which owns [[About Wikicities|Wikicities]], a project I co-founded with Jimmy Wales in October 2004. I am aged 27 and recently moved from England to Germany. I've been a volunteer editor at [[Wikipedia:User:Angela|Wikipedia]] for over two years, and I'm on the board of its parent organisation, the [[Wikimedia:Home|Wikimedia Foundation]]. More details can be found on [http://wikisearch.org/angela-beesley.htm my website].

#you understand how to use admin powers (see [[Help:User access levels|user access levels]] and the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide|administrators' how-to guide]]), and

I'd like to become an admin. While I'm not active in editing the central wikicities, I can come in in times of need (I regularly glance at recentchanges) and act on requests for deletion of vandalism and the like. I suppose I'm trusted, but that's up to the community to decide. I've been pretty good at [[Mozilla]] and [[Scratchpad]], I think. One of the first things I plan on doing is uploading [[:Image:Wikicities.ico]] as Favicon.ico, so that the icon [[Logo_contest#Wikicities_Icon|doesn't look]] like a Mountain. --[[User:Me at work|Tom]] <sup>[[User_talk:Me_at_work|talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[User:Me_at_work/Bliki|Bliki]]</sub> 16:37, 12 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Requests and nominations for adminship

If you nominate someone else for adminship, please let them know that they should leave a message here stating whether or not they accept the nomination. Users will be made admins after one week if there are no objections.

Tom

I'd like to become an admin. While I'm not active in editing the central wikicities, I can come in in times of need (I regularly glance at recentchanges) and act on requests for deletion of vandalism and the like. I suppose I'm trusted, but that's up to the community to decide. I've been pretty good at Mozilla and Scratchpad, I think. One of the first things I plan on doing is uploading Image:Wikicities.ico as Favicon.ico, so that the icon doesn't look like a Mountain. --Tom talk/Bliki 16:37, 12 Apr 2005 (EDT)

GreenReaper

I think that I would be a good administrator. I have had experience with dealing with spam, bad edits, and social conflict as a sysop and bureaucrat on the Creatures Wiki, and I feel reasonably confident of being able to deal with these when they crop up on here. I am usually available on Wikcities IRC if people need someone to fix something quickly. I can also help if users need advice on how to do something special for their Wikicity with CSS or Javascript (I'm generally better on the technical side than the design side, but I've studied both), or suggestions on how best to promote their wikicity. --GreenReaper(talk) 05:21, 13 Apr 2005 (EDT)

1-3 is true for me, I would wager that 4 is true as well. I have yet to come across a situation where I would have used Admin functionality in Wikicities. However, I would be glad to add my name to the list and help were appropriate. JamesTeterenko 14:26, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
