WCityMike (talk · contribs) – I would like to nominate myself for adminship (or, as I've heard it put in the wikiglossary, to be a janitor!). I think I've got three strengths that will prove useful to the Wikipedia community: first, I'm not unwilling to put my nose to the grindstone to get scut work done; second, I've been told I can write fairly well (in terms of debate and resolution of same); and third, I think that aside from a few flukes (which I'll address below), I can approach others' problems well (in other words, in disciplinary situations, I can help "keep the peace"). I do acknowledge that I have made some mistakes in the past, which I speak to below, but I do not think those mistakes overwhelm my reputation for doing good during the time I have been here (since August 2004), and I think that the manner in which I conducted myself during those mistakes says something well about me, as well. If we look for absolute perfection in the past of admins, I think the supply will rapidly dry up; what I think is truly needed, I believe I have: the willingness to learn, the willingness to put ego aside, and a general overall belief in the neatness of the idea underlying Wikipedia. (Whether this request succeeds or fails, I think I will appreciate the resulting "peer review" this process will produce, although that is not the reason I request adminship.) — WCityMike (talk • contribs) 02:23, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
