[Commons-l] Fwd: Commons needs patrollers and future admins

Tue Nov 14 23:01:53 UTC 2006

I'll post a similar message in the Spanish Wikipedia list. In fact I was
asking some current es: admins about that, but they wonder to be rejected
because they have not enough edits on Commons. I suggest as criteria to be
open to accept Spanish Wikipedia admins that have many contributions there
and were fighting image vandalism also before uploads were closed a few
months ago.
