Lord Voldemort

– Lord Voldemort has been a Wikipedian since June, 2005, and has just garnered his 4000th edit. He has been nominated for adminship once before, in October, 2005: I actually opposed the Dark Lord's first Request for Adminship, and have come to regret that decision. As I have since learned, LV is a calm, judicious, widely-admired user who could make good use of the administrator's tools. His talk page gives good evidence that many Wikipedians assume he is already an admin., as he is often requested to perform janitorial functions. I believe it is time to allow him (or burden him, as the case may be) with the duty to attend to these oh-so-fun cleanup tasks. Wikipedia will be a better place with an empowered Dark Lord to see to its safety! Xoloz 18:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Well, Xoloz, probably no one but the two of us will ever see this, but I feel it appropriate to formally decline anyways. I would like to be an Admin, someday, just not today, I fear. At this point in time, Admin tools would not help the way I'm feeling towards Wikipedia (I could explain, but maybe not on the wiki). There are various issues I have, and must decline this nomination at this time. I sincerely appreciate your kind words and attitude. I will try and continue my good effort, but feel it dishonest to you to keep this nomination open while I try and figure things out. I wouldn't want your opinion to change, but can't guarantee that I won't do something to make you change your mind. Perhaps wait until February? If I still suit your tastes in Admins, I might be more eager to go through the RfA process. I am truly sorry. -- LV (Dark Mark)  20:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've seen it too :)... LV is interested, but not yet (according to the message he left on my talk page - I offered to nominate him a while back, and LV suggested me possible doing the same in about a month's time) Grutness...wha?  04:36, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Blasted! The secret's out. -- LV (Dark Mark)  04:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
