Frankie Roberto

After reading this, I'd like to put myself forward for 'adminship'. If people don't think I've been here long enough/done enough, then that's cool, but I'd like to help if I can. I'm an 'accredited reporter' if that counts for anything... Frankie Roberto 19:07, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Why not? --Flipbaywood 22:59, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. Before voting, I'd like to see a little more of an explanation of why this user would want to become an administrator. --MrMiscellanious (talk) – 23:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure - He appears to be a good editor and besides, administrator status is no big deal. —THIS IS MESSEDOCKER (TALK) 23:03, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm considering my vote (I like to look in to things for a little bit before making a descision. in the end I'll proably vote support.) I just wanted to make sure you knew that theres more then just speedy deletion. I also wanted to ask you, If there was one thing you could change about wikinews - what would it be? (Muhuhuh! Even worse then thoose old stupid standard questions). Bawolff ☺☻

Fair dos. According to this page, admins 'can edit pages in the MediaWiki: namespace (system messages), block users, delete pages, and protect pages', all of which I'd do in strict accordance with the site policy. There's plenty of things I'd like to change about Wikinews, but not many of them are relevant to being an admin. I'd like to see improved RSS feeds (with article extract), an improved homepage, and better collaboration over things like creating and sourcing photos and graphics to go with news articles.

Sounds good. Support. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support I see Frankie's edits when I sneak a look at recent changes during work hours, I think he'd benefit from the extra buttons. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 18:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment; I don't think that the idea is for the administrator to benefit from the extra buttons. Neutralizer 11:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
