| ==New request for adminship== | |||
| Hi, SoM. I've been nominated by a fellow editor — from out the blue, believe me — to be an admin. That's a lot of work and responsibility; I was asked to do it once before, and didn't think I was either ready or needed. But ] and ], who came out of WikiProject Comics and know the nuances of comics, are on indefinite hiatus, and ''someone'' who knows comics, the basis of some of the biggest things in pop culture, should be an admin. Some of my Comics Project peers are also qualified, and if they were to step up, I would step down from this nomination. But we need a comics-knowledgeable admin in any event. If you'd like to enter the discussion either way, you can go to ]. Thanks so much,-- ] 17:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

I salute you, sir
You've made a ton of important edits that have been a levee against the flood of poor writing, uncited claims, personal opinion, and fannish excesses. I completely understand the frustration you feel — many times editing in the Comics Project feels less like an avocation than a chore. What has made it worthwhile, for me, are conscientious editors such as yourself, CovenantD, Chris Griswold, Bloodpack, Stephens Block & Day, and many others.
I do wish the free-for-all nature of WP were less anarchic. I'd love to see registration required — it's free and then portable from computer to computer, so why not? — and a simple online Wiki-editing primer and a test, like a driver's test, before people can edit.
Maybe someday. Because such changes might help prevent good editors like yourself and others I've known — and myself so close at many points — from leaving what on (virtual) paper is a Utopian project.
Of course, we all know how Utopias turn out...! :-)
Hope to see you back in the future. With high regards, -- Tenebrae 05:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
If you come back
Let us know. We've gotten a lot better at supporting each other, at least in the Comic WikiProject. I have your back. I'll support you. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 08:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Fare thee well
Sorry you had such a rough time of it. --GentlemanGhost 18:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I hope to see you again
You were a big help to me (don't know if you remember at all) and I'll always appreciate the help you gave to me. Good luck in life man. :) Stephen Day 22:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
