You're a sysop!

Hi, Marudubshinki/Archive 9,Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached,you are now an administrator! You'vevolunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannotparticipate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't deletepages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"),and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. Butthey can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pageslisted on Votes for deletion(provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pageswhen asked to, and keep the few protectedpages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look atThe Administrators' how-toguide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started(although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Takea look before experimenting with your powers. Also,please add Administrators'noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are alwaysdiscussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions dropme a message at My talk page. Have fun!=Nichalp «Talk»=

Yay! --Maru (talk)06:26, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Marudubshinki/Archive 9/monobook.js:

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true;   // optional: enable admin links

There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! --Lupin|talk|popups 14:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll give it a shot. Looks pretty interesting.--Maru (talk)16:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Multifarious

You did me such a favor when you reinstated the Inquistorius, thenyou instated me as a Bishop, then you forgave my blasphemy, then youvoted positively on my RfA.... How can I ever thank you sufficiently?--Maru (talk)00:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I checked the closet, and it seems like I'm good on first-bornchildren...I have always wanted an idol, though, if you have onesitting around... ; - ) -- Essjay · Talk 00:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

May I suggest a grammar fetish? --Maru (talk) 00:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm? -- Essjay · Talk 01:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't off hand have any non-Semitic idols, but I dohave a grammar fetish, an irrational obsession with and idolization ofenforcing grammatical rules and strictures.--Maru (talk)01:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh...I thought maybe I'd made a mistake and you were suggestingthat I learn to write more accurately...Oops! --Essjay · Talk 01:36, 3 October2005 (UTC)

Heh. No, I was using Fetish in the religious sense, as inFetishism, as opposed to Idolatry. I had thought as a professor ofreligion it would be clear for you, but perhaps my writing was atfault here. --Maru (talk) 01:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I typically take any comment to mean the most common usage; Ikept checking over what I wrote to figure out where I'd made an error!-- Essjay · Talk 01:56, 3October 2005 (UTC)

My oppose vote on Adam1213's RfA

I am not joking about wanting to be an admin. I dont see why you haveto of made a certaint amount of edits to be an admin. You shouldinstead look at a user and see what they will accomplish for wikipediaby being an admin. --Adam1213 01:09, 3 October 2005(UTC)

I asked whether you were joking because if you had read anything orlooked at anything dealing with RfA that you didn't have a chance inhell. You have 165 edits total- in the past 6 months, only two RfAswith under 1000 edits (and not far under either) have passed, ofmany that tried. Secondly, you haven't been here all that long. Thirdly, a disconcertingly large number of your edits are useless toWikipedia- and you article edits are not major or impressive either.You really should have looked at my standards before complaining here.Now I am even less likely to change my vote. My advice? Take yourinevitable defeat well. Stick around for another three months. Haveat least a thousand edits. Then begin considering an RfA. Infact, wait untill someone else nominates you: that would be the bestcourse. Adminship is not something to desire or seek lightly.--Maru (talk)01:29, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"clean up Adrian Lamo"

... while I'm occasionally in need of cleaning, I prefer to handle itin the relative privacy of my own shower, thanks : ) --Adrian 21:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. I was referring actually to your article, not you (though fromwhat I hear, you could use it ;). And yes, we do sorta harp on signingbecause conversations can sprawl out over time, and not signing can inactive/old talk pages make it utterly impossible to follow what isgoing on. And it is not hard at all! A simple --~~~~is all it takes, and the benefits are great, so our anality I thinkcan be understood. --Maru (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

-- I was being a tad facetious, as you may have realized :) Igenerally sign my contributions to discussions; I have no idea why itescaped me initially. My postcrime life also contains 38% moreshowers, though I was an exceptionally well-groomed homeless hacker =P-- Adrian 16:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

-- RE: less jes' link to yer wikiarticle, nyet? -- I'm not opposedto having the link there. I just didn't want to be the one to add it,as it seemed to be in poor taste to link to my own article from myuserpage :) -- Adrian 01:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I like to think of it as a disambig- is it this Adrian Lamo, oranother? The Talk page gives the answer, but what if you are notstarting at the talk page? --Maru (talk) 04:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

Damnit, you changed the one on your user page before I could give itto you. Guess it's not exactly "generic" anymore. Anyways, thanks forthe award. --Nufy8 22:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jes' call me "speedy fingers gonzales". :) BTW, I recently addedHethrir. If you have nothing better to do, you could look it over.Also: I beat you to Jon Hart. --Maru (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Name

All official sources I've ever seen that give a collective title toZahn's trilogy use The Thrawn Trilogy. --JonHart 22:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. --Maru (talk) 23:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
