silsor (talk · contribs) – This is a request for myself to have my admin privileges removed and to become a regular user. I think that I am well qualified for the role, having well over 7000 edits, about 4000 to which were to the article namespace. My usage of edit summaries is something fairly close to 100%. I feel confident that I have what it takes to move on to this next stage on the wiki. silsor 02:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- If that's what you want, but this isn't the place. m:Requests for permission is the place. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- The English Wikipedia is so high-traffic that we have our own process. Some people also seem to think that privilege levels on the English Wikipedia carry special import, so it's traditional to bring it to the wider attention of the community for approving changes. silsor 02:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Huh? Why do you need community approval to remove admin privileges? I was under the impression you could just ask a steward. Kirill Lokshin 02:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
- 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
- A. It seems likely that I will not be able to help with too many sysop chores. This is an unfortunate side effect of moving on to usership privileges and status. silsor 02:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
- A. I think that Cheomseongdae is a pretty good article. silsor 02:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
- A. I have made a number of good calls regarding users who turned out to be sockpuppets of others or users who are now banned. I've been involved in a fair number of conflicts over the last couple of years, and I have gotten stress from a fair number of users as well. Fortunately I usually turn out to be right, and apologize when I don't. I feel that having user privileges will greatly increase my ability to deal with people who are suspicious of authority. silsor 02:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- 4. Is this a joke?
- 5. Shouldn't you use m:requests for permission or ask a steward?
- A. Hints embedded in this page point to no. silsor 02:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
