[edit] Adminship
Would you like to be an admin? Because I'd like to nominate you shortly, April 23rd to be exact. - RoyBoy 800 20:18, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I'd enjoy being nominated. :) Cburnett 20:56, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

- So what's so special about the 23rd? Cburnett 22:02, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

- Of course, should have checked that one. Cburnett 02:05, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

HA!!! Now thats pretty hillarious. Funniest thing I seen all day. An admin momination. Somehow, putting it up on the "23rd" sounds sort of like a indirect poke at me in a way (having a "23" in my nickname and all). Hope you get the job. If I reverted something of yours, what the hell? You could just ban me. Cyberia23 06:11, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- And I've been extremely civil toward you despite what you've said to me. I guess you thinking I would ban someone I disagree with and the way you respond to me shows the difference between our character. But, there I go, I'm probably getting too much into the psycho-analyzing for you again. Cburnett 06:27, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

- I'm just messing with you. I still have your talk page on my watchlist, and saw the admin nomination. It was just seemed too ironic. Cyberia23 15:41, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 06:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well done! (Oh, if you'd like to exercise your new superpowers, head over to Netbux, a particularly noxious new page that has rightly been marked for speedying.) -- Hoary 07:37, 2005 May 1 (UTC)
- Congratulations--you have clearly earned the community's trust, and I expect that you will make an excellent administrator. I just wanted to drop you a note to say so, and to note that I hope you take no offense at any remarks I made. I'm still getting to know your work, but it is obviously in high regard, and that speaks very well, I think. Thank you for your many contributions, and keep up the good work.

- Thanks. In the end, I opted to not respond to your reply (I had at one point a reply written but didn't post it) but I guess I will now. :) WP policies are no different than laws and rules: they're always open to interpretation. Just ask any judge or lawyer. My interpretation of "obviously inappropriate" does not mesh with your interpretation of it. The pic was a screenshot of the #6 highest grossing films of all time that centers upon the relationship between the two. The screenshot, to me, captures a key moment in the development of their relationship. For that, I don't think it's "obviously inappropriate" and therefore see the removal as censorship. As I said on my RFA, I'm very opinionated and try to justify my position. Even though the consensus was against my opinion & interpretation, I went with it. I think the whole ordeal is a testament to my character, not a flaw. But that's also my opinion. :) I didn't take your opinion as offensive and I appreciate your candor.

- I'm inclined to agree with you that it is a testament to your character. I came to that conclusion late in the RFA, but decided switching the vote would serve no useful purpose--perhaps that was the wrong choice. In any case, even though I disagree with your position, I recognize you have a solid set of reasons for your perspective, and I'm convinced this is a matter about which two intelligent people can reasonably disagree. Maybe you don't feel that way...anyhow, regardless, best of luck as an admin, and thanks for offering your thoughts. Jwrosenzweig 06:26, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- Of course I can agree to disagree. There's no reason to expect any two people to agree on issues like this. Cburnett 07:02, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
