Admins dinna hae ony byordinar authority on Wikipedia, but is hauden ti heich standards, sin they are seen bi some uisers as the "offeicial face" o Wikipedia. Admins shuid be mainerlie, an shuid shaw guid juidgment an patience in dealin wi ithers. Nominees shuid hae been on Wikipedia lang eneuch for fowk ti see gif they hae thir qualities or no. Houaniver, adminship shuidna be a muckle thing. Admin actions is reversible; bein an admin is maistlins an extra responsibeility, sin there are rules an policies that juist applees til admins.

I Will help to make the scots wikipedia a better place, and help with the maitenece and any other problem
If you're really serious about doing that, I recommend that you start writing some articles for the encyclopaedia. The most basic thing for any user, admin or not, is to add articles in Scots. So far you have shown no signs of doing anything but asking to be an administrator (in badly spelled English). -- Derek Ross 06:58, 7 Februar 2006 (UTC)

And if you expect your vote to be taken seriously I suggest that you too do something more than nominate yourself for administrator and vote for other nominees with no track record. -- 68.147.241.235 04:01, 11 Februar 2006 (UTC)

Oppone

  1. Oppone Juist realised that Naraku votit efter the deidline an aw! Nae wantin tae be nasty, but the candidate a) disna seem tae ken hou a Wiki wirks b) disna spaek the leid the Wiki's written in c) juist shawed up an askit for adminship. Sae, aw in aw, naw. Mendor 10:53, 11 Februar 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose I don't think someone as new as i am should be given admin power right off the bat, i think he should wait until he is more experience in being a user than being an admin, and as the guy below me told me, everyone has equal power, so if this is true than i think there is no reason why someone just as new as me should get an adminship just yet.

  • Comment (no a vote syne it's efter the deidline: wad hae been oppone gin it wisna). A think A'v juist seen the pynt o the "Wikipædia isna a democracie" policie. Mendor 10:47, 11 Februar 2006 (UTC) PS: Whoops, see ma oppone vote abuin. Mendor 10:53, 11 Februar 2006 (UTC)
  1. not sure the guy above me is right, but i also think that everyone deserves a chance at some form of power so i'll submit my vote sometime later. Redsportscar323 02:33, 14 Februar 2006 (UTC)
Well, if you're looking for power you've come to the right place. Wikipedia gives you power alright: the power to write articles for other people around the world to read. And luckily it gives us more than a chance at it -- in fact it gives you the power straight off, no questions asked. All we ask is that people make use of that power. Sadly, many don't. So now that you've registered an account, we look forward to seeing your first article in Scots. Welcome ! -- Derek Ross 06:59, 14 Februar 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, i can read scots but i'm not so good at writing it though. Redsportscar323 21:48, 14 Februar 2006 (UTC)

A. no, i have ot been in any fights over editing, and if they did i would ask them to stop nicely and after that, if it's advice, i would take it friendly, and if it was a fight, i would try to stop them, and if that didn't work i'd just ignore them

[edit] Requests for bureaucratship

Bureaucrats are admeinistrators wi the extra pouer ti mak ither fowk admins or bureaucrats, based on community deceisions raxed here. They can change the uiser name o onie ither uiser an aa. The process for bureaucrats is seimlar ti that for adminship abuin, but is maistlins jist bi request. The expectation for bureaucratship is heicher nor for adminship, in terms o nummers o votes, abeility til engage voters an candidates, an signeificant disqualifications.

Bureaucrats is expected ti determine consensus in sweir cases an ti be ready to justifee their decisions. Walin sections an bylerplate quaistens for candidates can be insertit uisin {{subst:Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Candidate quaistens}}.
