Davilla

I don't think I need to introduce this one. If you don't know him, then you clearly don't follow the RFD or RFV pages. Lots of good contribs, and a good sense for initiative. Also, he's the one responsible for the absolutely mental {{cattag}} lunacy. Another Good User™.

  1. I want £50 from Dangherous. — Vildricianus 21:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
     • Boy, I damn near split my sides! bd2412 T 00:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
       • You can get your £50 when you come to Wales to claim it. --Dangherous 08:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
         • A £200 Brussels to Cardiff flight probably won't cover that! — Vildricianus 12:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

  7. How funny, I always thought he was a she. Widsith 07:30, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
     • Oops. ? — Vildricianus 12:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  8. Very yes. Andrew massyn
  9. Of course. SemperBlotto 07:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  10. Hurray, less admin work for us! Keep. --Dangherous 08:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

      Work?? Davilla 16:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

      Yes, work. There is a fair amount of work cleaning this website. Unpaid work too, sadly (we don't get paid, contrary to popular belief). Knowing this maybe you would like to refuse the nomination? --Dangherous 18:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

      Which has absolutely nothing to do with the sysop status. Sysops just push a button once in a while, is all. Anyone can help doing the real work. — Vildricianus 19:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

  13. Did I vote not? Ok, but should learn French! Kipmaster 13:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

      Are there not already enough Spanish cows on the French countryside? :-/ Davilla 16:40, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

  14. Extreme "Distinct lack of my vote thusfar" support. My profuse apologies. — Celestianpower ^háblame 15:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Against:

• Comments:
• Which account are we voting for actually? If it is the one in all the fancy scripts, then I withdraw my support, for the sole reason that the scripts are too fancy. --Dangherous 14:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, Davilla, before any of your accounts becomes a sysop, could you clarify it for us please? — Vildricianus 14:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

    Barring the other options, pease allow a conversion of the nominated account User:Davilla User:∂ανίΠα to User:DAVilla. Davilla 15:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

  Wow, I didn't expect such a strong reaction. I know you didn't mean it personally, but it's difficult not to take that way. The partial differential is my solution to a lower-case d, and the others are presumably not that fancy considering they're all Greek, including capital pi, otherwise known as the product symbol. Davilla 15:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

  I can't easily enter these characters in the urlbar or anywhere else, though. — Vildricianus 15:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

  I know that I never expected to be sending out abuse reports to network administrators, on networks I'd never even visited. But I have - and the mere fact that my e-mail address does not have "@wiktionary.org" in it makes them suspicious. I can't imagine what the typical reaction would be, to an encoded greek address. I too would like further clarification. --Connel MacKenzie T C 15:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Decision: Sysopized today (and the form didn't even spit the "fancy scripts" back at me). :) — Paul G 20:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Perhaps the form didn't, but anyone who can't read it will. As admins are considered to be "contact points" for newcomers, I find our newest sysop's name highly questionable, because not really user friendly. Actually, he's still listed on the first page of the new users log, and already a sysop! Are we sure he's the same as User:Davilla? — Vildricianus 20:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, it's sure: [1]. Though, I agree with you on the fancy script stuff. Kipmaster 12:40, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Come to think of it, I think Paul sysopized the wrong username. — Vildricianus 12:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Same, as Kipmaster pointed out. Davilla 16:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
