RfA: A self-nomination (parody) (sung to the tune of the Major-General's Song)


 * I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian:
 * I've knowledge of Greek drama, both comedic and tragedian;
 * I know historic battlefields from Ancient Rome to World War Two,
 * And neutral is the mode in which I always keep my point of view!


 * I'm very well acquainted, too, with Polynese ethnology.
 * I understand Samoan lore and Mā-ori mythology.
 * From mountain peaks of Suriname to passes of the Great Divide,
 * I see to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!


 * He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!
 * He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!
 * He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wiki- wikified!


 * Some people think my entries are little more than trivia —
 * That episode of "Barney" or some woodwind of Bolivia —
 * And yet, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,
 * I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian


 * In short, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,
 * He is the very model of a modern Wikipedian!




 * I SIGN all of my comments; and I summarize my each edit;
 * I never BITE; I never POINT; I follow wiki etiquette;
 * I assume good faith when wiki-flamed, and wear a thickened wiki-skin.
 * For I'm the very model of a proper wiki-citizen:


 * I'm often found at village pumps discussing rules and policy,
 * And judging notability while over at the AfD,
 * In matters wiki-sophic, I'm no exopede inclusionist,
 * But an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!


 * An incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!
 * An incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!
 * An incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusion-usionist!


 * I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian.
 * I wrote this wiki-parody to ease some wiki-tedium.
 * When dealing with my colleagues, I'm a friendly wiki-editor,
 * But when provoked I can become a vandal-stalking predator;


 * When dealing with his colleagues he's a friendly wiki-editor,
 * But when provoked he can become a vandal-stalking predator!


 * Reverts and warnings I have made while on the recent change patrol,
 * I play some cat-and-mouse with them, but now I want to block 'em all,
 * And so at last I must become a wiki admin-candidate:
 * And since I am my only fan, I've no choice but to self-nominate.


 * As prep for this, I've studied up on bans and blocks and redirects,
 * And I can tell you all about both SEMIs and full page protects,
 * And when you hear all that I know of wikipede sysop-ery,
 * You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the mop-pery


 * You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppery.
 * You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppery.
 * You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppa-moppery.


 * Now adminship, as Jimbo says, is really no big deal at all:
 * So many fail, and so might I (my role in portal talk's been small)
 * But still, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,
 * I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian


 * In short, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,
 * He is the very model of a modern Wikipedian!
