Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mark Dingemanse

From Wikipedia

Who else could be administrator?

Though I do not want to exclude the possibility that I might become more active on this edition of Wikipedia in the future, I must now decline this nomination because my time is limited. — mark 13:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for adminship

Things have changed since March 2006, and I would be willing to use the mop and bucket here to clean up things now and then. I do not speak Ewe fluently, although I can read and understand it (slowly). I also know a few speakers of Ewe whom I might be able to persuade to give this Wikipedia a start, and who would probably willing to help in translating the Mediawiki interface. One of the first things I'd do as an admin is editing MediaWiki:Edittools in order to make it easier to input text using Ewe orthography.

I am currently an admin on the English Wikipedia and on the Yoruba Wikipedia, spending most of my wikitime on the former. I am an active editor in the field of African languages and linguistics, a field in which I have an MA. — mark 17:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
