Requests for adminship[edit]

You can view my voting rationale here. Link for self-use: [[User:Petros471/RfA criteria|my RfA criteria]]

Considering becoming an admin? Feel free to ask me if I think you'd be suitable. When I think you'd be ready (I might provide some suggestions before that) I'd be happy to nominate you. (RFA reviews subpage)

About me[edit]

As Femto says: "Male, European, and already paranoid about giving away this much information." Well I'm a bit less paranoid than he is, so I can tell you I'm male, British, and have an age of somewhere between 10 and 100. Also if you're really interested I've released rather more than that out to the big world wide web.

Contact!
The best way to contact me is usually by leaving a new message on my talk page. There's nothing like a big orange bar to get my attention, and messages there will probably get the fastest response. You can also email me. I will try to reply as soon as possible (I reserve the right to not reply to personal attacks or other emails of that nature). However expect my response to be slower than messages to my talk page, and preferably leave email to messages that have a good reason to be private (or when you can't edit my talk page because of a block). Please include your Wikipedia username so I know who you are. Thanks.

Important: If you are emailing me about a block, make sure you include your username (if applicable), IP address and the block reason.

List building

There are three basic steps to building a topic list for Wikipedia: the first is to search Wikipedia to make sure it doesn't already have a list on the subject. The second step is to hunt down every word you can find on the subject, from your own memory, books, web directories, dictionaries, etc. Surround each term with double square brackets, and save the page.

Because Wikipedia has become so extensive, don't be surprised if most or even all of the links turn out blue (those are live links, each leading to an article on Wikipedia). Dead-end links are red, but don't remove them, because they show what articles Wikipedia is missing — anyone can click on a red link to create an article on that topic. The third step is checking each live article in the list for links to related topics. When you find one, add it to the list.
