Questions/Comments

Do you accept this nomination? --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) 17:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

of course :-) --MarkTalk to me 17:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Markie was previously an administrator who asked this his rights be removed[1], why was this the case and what is to say we're not going to find ourselves in this same position in the future? Adambro - (talk) 20:05, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i requested the removal of my sysop flag after this event (the comments tab stuff). the reason i requested removal was because i felt that i had let the community down by doing something that had affected many users. the aftermath of this, shown on AAA, was not at all good, and further re-iterated the point to myself that what i had done was wrong. therefore i decided to ask for the permissions to be removed, kinda like a recall vote, but decided this on my own.

i would like to think that i have learnt from this, and in the future try to avoid making errors of judgements in the same way, such as editing things which will affect many users if i am not 101% sure i can fix any breakages. also i would like to think that i could, now i know the community more, accept the fact that i have broken/done something wrong and just move on from it. --MarkTalk to me 23:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the average wing velocity of an unladen swallow? --TUFKAAP - (talk) 10:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm, wikilinker says " Error with your calculation.", however we can conclude that you should navigate your way to http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/ for a very thorough answer :-p --MarkTalk to me 12:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support would've qualified for speedy re-instatement, as you were a previous admin who asked to be de-sysoped. (→Zachary) 22:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
