Successful nominations

The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for adminship. Please do not modify it.

I am closing this early on the basis that I can see no reason for anyone to oppose. It's hard work, being an admin. As you say, a great deal behind the scenes, especially simplifying processes. Tim Trent ^{Talk to me} 21:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

About me

I am not the sort to be be the center of attention. Instead, I prefer to work behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight. I am most likely the one to be shining the spotlight on the talent or by providing them with the tools so that they can express their talent. I am not much of a writer although I do have creative streaks now and then which provoke me to write an article. When I do write articles everything is usually well thought out and edited to the best of my ability before being published in the mainspace. My additions to articles are also well thought out and as factual as possible.

Optional Questions from TSW users

1. Which Admin tool will you find most useful: The block facility, the protect facility or the delete one? BG7

For me the best tool would be the protect feature as I plan on helping with templates and other tools which may help other editors better express their talents. I am lenient and willing to help when it comes to an honest effort to contribute, yet I have very firm hand when it comes to obvious vandalism and disruptive behavior. Although I wish I wouldn't have to block anyone, I am sure the time will come.

1. What one thing do you think you can do to make TSW a better place? BG7

I plan to help create a online environment where editors can freely express themselves through writing factual articles yet still providing a level of entertainment by permitting editors to express their own personal touch without being over burdened with rules an policies. Since not everyone is a novelist honest efforts still deserve a chance and I hope that we can provide such an avenue to convey factual information without loosing its entertainment value by scrutinizers who expect everyone to be professionals.

Originally appointed admins

The following are the admins originally appointed by User:Tim Trent before the days of RfA, when admins were appointed at the founder, Tim Trent's whim:

• User:Bluegoblin7
• User:EdJogg
• User:Slambo
• User:Tbo 157 (has since been desysopped after retirement from frequent editing)

User:Tim Trent and User:Bernd Heller, the co founders, are both admins and bureaucrats.

In addition, User:Bluegoblin7 and User:EdJogg were also made Bureaucrats after discussion at the Station Cafe to make Tim Trent's job easier.
