I need advice...

And a lot of other things. I'm in kind of a state of shock right now. NSLE out of the blue posed a message on my talk page saying that he was considering nominating me for adminship! I nearly had an anurism. I have contributed a lot of useful information (40 of the hurricane season articles, two large pages and many others from my 1,800 edits since becoming a user in January). He also said I help people out a lot. But I know just the bare basics of Wikipedia policy. I went to the Wikipedia page on adminship and I felt like I was on a another planet. First of all, what the hell is a sysop? Sure I contribute a lot, sure I help people, but being an administrator is a hell of a lot more than that. Since this was never originally a goal for me, I have no concept of what it is to be an administrator. I got involved with Wikipedia as a medium for my hurricane obsession. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that someone would feel I deserved the honor. I made my first anon edit less than a year ago. I don't know what to think now.

Greetings Golbez,

I wish to offer my gratitude for supporting me on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with the final tally of 65/4/3. If you would ever desire my assistance in anything, or wish to give me feedback on any actions I take, feel free to let me know. Cheers!

The Moon

Thanks for adding that information about the moon. I mean seriously - what I added, what you added, or what anyone could add that simply refers to a 'higher being' and 'creation' is so benign - they can't be mad!

It is totally unfair to remove religion from everything. A specific faith doesn't have to be endorsed, but geez, these people flip out if you say 'diety' or anything referencing to a religious belief!

It is disgusting and makes Wikipedia very similar to Communist Russia or China. If you can, please protect that tidbit of info, b/c they will revert it all day long. So many who landed on the moon, including the 2nd person to walk on the moon Buzz Aldrin, believe that the moon was created by a higher being.

So, yeah. I'm done now. Thanks for the help, and if you can use your admin powers, protect it! THANKS!

you are soooooo arrogant Golbez. I am happy that not all people are like you. Did you ever wonder what ATMOSPERE YOU CREATE by reverting and reverting to wrong stuff? And you did not even say sorry!!!! YOU ARE TAKING OTHER PEOPLE TIME ? It may be good faith, but it costed much more than a vandal. because a vandal inserts wrong stuff - but he goes away. I will NOT talk with you anymore until end of august. (this means come to your talk page) HASTA LA VISTA. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
