Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Topbanana

Topbanana
Howdy. I'd like to request adminship please, primarily to assist in ongoing tidy-up work but also to potentially use special:asksql. I'm more of a tidier than a writer - the bulk of my 5000 or so edits since registering 5 months ago are minor; fixing bad links, correcting spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes, adding disambig and interwiki links and so forth.

 * 2) Warofdreams 14:51, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) - fantastic work, particularly on the beta reports.

 * 4) Topbanana's handy reports alone are an impressive qualification for adminship. --Michael Snow 16:24, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * 5) Finlay McWalter |  Talk 16:40, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) Topbanana's dilligent and uncontroversial work, and my productive interactions with Topbanana, give me adequate cause to believe Topbanana will use the admin capabilities wisely and well.
 * 6) Jwrosenzweig 16:46, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) I already had a positive impression, and the comments above definitely reinforce that. I'm very excited about the possibility of the reporting Top would be able to do (in addition to the existing excellent reports).
 * 7) JFW |  T@lk  16:51, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) Support Topbanana's most impressive offline reporting. Can certainly be trusted with adminship and AskSQL. Also like the username...
 * 8) Andris 16:52, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC). Topbanana's reports have been extremely useful. I thought he was already an admin.

Comments

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. Have you read the section on Administrators?
 * A. Yes thanks.
 * 2. 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?
 * A. Yes
 * 3. 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.
 * A. I'm a regular on WP:VFD and scan Special:Newpages regularly, but the task I'd particularly make my own would be SQL query requests.
 * 4. In your opinion, what article have you contributed the most succesfully and helpfully to?
 * A. I'm not much of a writer - my better efforts would be Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Opisometer.
 * 5. 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?)
 * A. Offline reports and  User:Topbanana/Reports
 * 6. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. While I've acted as a successful mediator in other online forums, I've managed to avoid both conflict and that onerous task here.
