I have been fortunate enough to work with this user quite a lot over the past six months or so in various aspects of the project's work. I have asked her a time or two if she would allow me to nominate her here & up until now she has declined (certainly not someone who is after trophies). However she is someone with a long string of rights to her name - she has a number of sysop rights, 'crat & checkuser on other wikis as well as being an active steward. I have a great respect for her competence - she is extremely quick and responsive - above that she is one of the nicest Wikimedians I know, a remarkable feat for someone as busy as she is.

For some time now she has been watching Commons RC & dealing with vandalism & tagging "out of scope"/test pages for deletion. She would admit that licensing is not her strong point but she is someone who is happy to seek help if she needs it and there is much to do here anyway. She has a very good set of languages. To me a highly trusted, hard working & competent Wikimedian - I believe she would be a real asset to the Commons admin team & I hope others will agree.

Any chance you could change the message on your Commons user talk page not to discourage use of it? I believe that Commons users should not be left with the choice of revealing their IP address or registering at another project to contact a Commons administrator about a Commons-related matter. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, You are right and I know that, I have the enotify function turned on, and knew I had to change that here now too (but on the other hand the more "please don't leave messages here" notes I set the more messages I get ;o) ) I do not have much time today, so I just changed the wording for now, I might write some different header as I did on Meta later today, tonight or in the next days, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 12:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Spacebirdy, you're "dancing on a lot of weddings" - 9 times SysOP, 4 times Crat, 1 time CU, OS and Import-Op in different projects. Do you really think, you can handle a 10th SysOp-ship? Marcus Cyron 13:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Marcus Cyron, as You might have noticed also lots of those projects where I am sysop are not only very small but very inactive, I was asked or asked to be sysop on those by members of those projects or because I am interested in the language myself just to keep an eye on the recent changes or to help out in case of technical problems. On fo.wikt I mainly help watching the rc, and helping with globalizing the interface (I am also active on betawiki:). Also on af.wikt I have been asked to help out. I have been also sysop on other small projects, ie. oc.wikt (the community asked me to help out), scn.wikt (the crat asked me for technical assitance), fo.wikisource...

OS I don't have anywhere, btw [1].

The import flag I have on is.wikt because I am mainly active there and while import from is.wikipedia is activated it sometimes happens to import from an other wiktionary.

Note that on the Spanish projects it is usual to be made crat also when being made sysop.

So, yes, I think I can handle it, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 13:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
