Adminship

Hi Wbm, have you considered running for admin? You appear to be well-respected and trusted, and have been here for long enough. If Rich can't deal with the histmerge backlog, maybe you can. :-) Alakzi (talk) 17:34, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Alakzi, Yes, I've been considering that. Thanks for asking! And being the first to do so on my talk page. I keep finding too many non-admin tasks to keep me busy, but suppose I should start writing my request soon. Wbm1058 (talk) 18:08, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Your RFA

Hello Wbm1058. Just wanted to say I hope you don't get discouraged from RFA solely based on GregJackP's comments. Your comments about not going too deep into things you don't have much experience with is a very smart move. I do advise taking others' "oppose" concerns about notability into account for the future whether this passes or not. Best of luck, Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:40, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

RfA confusion

Hello. Recently, at your RfA, there's been a lot of discussion about the format of RfAs in general, about where discussion should go, about whether admins in general should have 'created content', several bitter tangents, people starting petty arguments and thinly veiled personal attacks etc. etc. I'm sorry to say that I've probably caused a lot more hassle than it was worth by interfering all over it. I'd like to apologize on behalf of everyone who's made a comment on your RfA that isn't relevant to you personally, and I hope this whole mess hasn't affected you or the outcome of your RfA. I'm still crossing my fingers, hoping you'll get the mop. Good luck. — Bilorv_(talk)^(c)(e) 21:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I came here for similar reasons. I recognize your RfA has been hijacked with a much more meta discussion about Wikipedia in general. I apologize for my part in this which is not minor, I hope that more productive discussion about the same topics happens in a more neutral venue. I sincerely hope this is not causing you undue stress and that you get to help out with all of the mundane work that comes with the admin tool set. Chillum 21:55, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I also wanted to say that you've done a remarkable job not engaging with the handful of editors that have hijacked your RFA with bad faith and pointy agendas. I don't want to jinx anything but with your RFA ending in a day and you sitting in the high 80s percentile, I think it'll end well. You may be our last newly appointed admin for awhile because after seeing your RFA, I cannot imagine anyone would even be remotely interested in running for RFA. Anyway, a premature congratulations. Regards, Mkdw^talk 23:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations

Well done, WBM. Wield your new mop well. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Your request for adminship

Hope this fits ϢereSpielChequers 21:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Wbm1058, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations on the positive result and for your place on WP:RFX100. As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin school is most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck with your adminship! Acalamari 21:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much, all who supported me, for your trust in me. I am feeling honored to have earned this, increasingly hard-to get, privilege. Time for some local celebration. Wbm1058 (talk) 21:28, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Celebrate! I remember good responses, best wishes for future actions, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

• Congratulations, hope the Tshirt fits. When you get bored of finding the right block message, check out my monobook - some kind person put useful code in there that gives a really useful dropdown menu. ϢereSpielChequers 21:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
• Congrats, and well done for staying above the rather ridiculous fray. If you need advice or pointers, you know where I am (or at least where my talk page stalkers are!). Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:54, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
