Being one of the Hong Kong people, I will only edit whenever I am free or I spot any mistake. Although having more than 500 edits, I consider myself not experienced in editing. So feel free to raise concerns towards me.
Give honest and sincere appreciation.
I just wanted to say that becoming a sysop is *not a big deal*.
I think perhaps I'll go through semi-willy-nilly and make a bunch of people who have been around for awhile sysops. I want to dispel the aura of "authority" around the position. It's merely a technical matter that the powers given to sysops are not given out to everyone.
I don't like that there's the apparent feeling here that being granted sysop status is a really special thing.

I am writing to apologize to The New Yorker and Stacy Schiff, and to give some follow-up concerning Ryan Jordan (Editors' Note, March 5). When I last spoke to The New Yorker about the fact that a prominent Wikipedia community member had lied about his credentials, I misjudged the issue. It was not O.K. for Mr. Jordan, or Essjay, to lie to a reporter, even to protect his identity.
What I speak:
- الصينية
- 中文
- Tionghoa
- chinois
- 中国語
- китайский
- Chinees
- 중국어
- ...
Find out that they're all Chinese?
