An expert on the 5th world, this user should have been an admin a year ago! Lirath Q. Pynnor
 * I accept this nomination. And I would like to point out that I'm an authentic Fifth World expert, and an expert on parallel Internets too!


 * Let me also add that people that are not involved at all in the micronational community are editing articles here, and if you wish to depend on them for your information on micronationalism you risk not knowing anything at all about the phenomenon. I'm also a micronational expert, and thus qualified to give decent and unbiased opinions about the subject. I don't put my nation ahead while putting my foot on others, unlike the people vandalising my articles. Please consider also this with your vote.--IndigoGenius 15:46, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Support

Oppose
 * 1) Very Strongly Oppose. A puppet of troll/vandal user Lir. --H. C HENEY  02:45, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * For the record: User:IndigoGenius is His Majesty Cesidio Tallini. Google will bring up a lot of stuff about him. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:33, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Humourless person above is right. Not only I'm my own man, but I'm also the King of my own country. Viva Lir! --IndigoGenius 12:53, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) Request disciplinary action against nominator. - Fennec (&#12399;&#12373;&#12400;&#12367;&#12398;&#12365;&#12388;&#12397;) 02:47, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)l
 * There is no policy currently in place that would allow that, I fear. Snowspinner 02:48, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * To hell with policy. When red tape exacerbates problems, it needs to be cut. Ban 'em all. Cribcage 18:17, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) Nominee has shown refusal to answer basic questions about understanding of administrative responsibilities, regrets not edit warring more, and his best contribution is not actually an article in the encyclopedia he is seeking administrator status for. Furthermore, I am unsure how he could have been an admin a year ago when he didn't even post here a year ago. This nomination is as much of a joke as Fifth World nations and parallel Internets. Snowspinner 02:46, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Tricky, given that the account was created in May. Doesn't even have 50 edits and most of those are troublesome. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 02:48, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 3) Hmm. Let's see. "Authentic fifth world expert" (e.g., person who creates articles that should be on speedy delete). Likely is sockpuppet. Has fewer than 50 edits. Of course I enthusiastically support! Oppose. Neutrality 03:07, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * It should be noted, part of why he has few edits is that many of the articles he's created have been deleted. Which doesn't necessarily speak highly of him either, but is worth noting. Snowspinner 03:23, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Neutrality, pls see above concerning the identity of User:IndigoGenius. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:33, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * His excellency should spend less time on Wikipedia and more time ruling his fake nation(s). Dude, just run for School Board or something. ;) Neutrality 03:42, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) 172 03:12, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) Guanaco 03:13, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC) Come back at a later date with more edits.
 * 3) Looking at user's edit history I am very strongly opposing -- Graham &#9786; | Talk 03:16, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 4) Bizarre, ranting, time wasting moron. This nomination is further evidence of disruption of WP on the part of User:Lir. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:33, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 5) Total waste of everyone's time.  blankfaze |  (&#1073;&#1077;&#1089;&#1077;&#1076;&#1072;!)  03:53, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 6) EddEdmondson 03:58, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 7) Bryan 04:11, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 8) All of Lir's nominations on this page are jokes.  As is Lir himself.  RickK 04:40, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 9) Danny 04:44, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 10) David Cannon 05:08, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC) Most emphatically oppose - for all of the reasons mentioned by other voters.
 * 11) --GeneralPatton 13:20, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC) Oppose, he has been a destructive and divisive force on wiki.
 * 12) What a jolly jape. David Gerard 13:21, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 13) Nope. -- Chris 73 | Talk 15:29, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 14) Under 100 edits, no evidence of the skills needed to be a good administrator. Keep working at it. Arminius 16:38, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 15) UtherSRG 17:35, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 16) What a way to get everyone's attention. Well, you got it! Here's my no vote! *giggle* Mike H 17:40, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 17) Ban them all. Cribcage 17:53, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 18) Strongly oppose, for reasons mentioned above. -- The Anome 18:16, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * 19) Don't do this, Lir.  -- Merovingian  &#9997;  Talk  19:41, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)

Neutral

Comments

I know I've already voted here, but I do have a few questions beyond my first impression.


 * In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * Micronazione
 * In your opinion, what has your best contribution to the running and maintenance of Wikipedia been? (i.e., have you reverted a bad stretch of vandalism, done extensive work categorizing articles, helped mediate a dispute?)
 * Currently I'm trying to keep the truth that there are 8 kinds of micronations, but Admins and trolls keep on putting their two cents in and they don't know a thing about micronations. I also don't know how some Admins can say that Fifth World nations are nonsense, unless they work for some micronational kings with micronations on stilts. Like why does this micronation have a separate article on it? It has no relations with major governments or organisations, while some Fifth World nations do, and they can't seem to exist even within an article on micronations. Is this objective, unbiased? Hardly.
 * Of your Wikipedia edits and experiences thus far, what is your biggest regret? What do you wish you'd done differently?
 * I should have been more aggressive against people who don't edit articles, but destroy them, because they have axes to grind.

Thanks. Snowspinner 03:17, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * No problem. --IndigoGenius 04:00, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Also, a few standard questions for admin candidates, if you care to respond: - Fennec (&#12399;&#12373;&#12400;&#12367;&#12398;&#12365;&#12388;&#12397;) 03:27, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Have you read the section on Administrators?
 * Are you interested in, and do you think you'll have some time to perform, the chores that only sysops have access to do, to help keep Wikipedia up to date?
 * If you become a sysop, which sysop chore or chores (WP:VFD, recent changes, watching for vandals and vandalism, responding to editor requests for assistance, any other) do you especially think you would be able to help with.
 * Don't really care to answer your questions, since you are totally hostile, and that doesn't make you a better Admin. --IndigoGenius 04:00, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

People who request disciplinary action against nominator:
 * 1) Neutrality 03:44, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) RickK 04:45, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * RickK maintains a micronation on stilts and should lose Admin privileges for typing while intoxicated. --IndigoGenius 12:53, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what this means, or what a micronation on stilts is. I voted to delete Empire of Atlanteum when it came up on VfD, and believe that it isn't worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.  I'm anti both sides of this argument.  RickK 19:58, Jul 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) UtherSRG 17:37, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC) - Let's not feed the trolls... let's get rid of them.
 * 2) Graham  &#9786; | Talk 18:28, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC) though I understand there is no precedent for this action yet
 * 3) Cribcage 18:28, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
