Hi, I just got a message from Mav that I've been nominated for Wikipedia Administrator. Given that Mav communicated the message in a flattering way, and that the invitation (which I understand is being made to some others) reflects a sense that there is some need for additional administrators, I can't see how I could say no. So, thanks, and of course, yes. I understand that being an administrator is not such a big deal, but any increase in access must also involve an increase in responsibility. If any of you have any particular advice about things I should be attentive to, feel free to share it with me. Needless to say I am not going to do anything as an administrator unilaterally, but I assume that the point of having more administrators is to help share whatever work is involved. In the meantime, I will review various guidelines and policies -- and you've finally gotten me to join Wikien-l! Steve Steven L.
