Hello Again. Anyway, degree ends for the year on monday, so I thought I'd throw myself back into the sysop arena.

Lets see. What have I done since my last sysop bid?

• Been cycling pretty much everything on Developing Suggestions.
• Discovered 9 of Borehamwood's 11 phone masts and updated the wiki accordingly.
• Reviewed all of the MFD's suburb listings and trimmed over 20 after discussion with the group.
• Tried to get involved with the new Community Portal.
• Helped design the new Main Page

Enough?

Last time I was a sysop, I was pretty active, and spent a lot of my time categorising and moving pages to their proper Borehamwood and Monroeville Namespaces. You can check my logs, I've handily popped the vandal template at the top of this bid, so you can look at my logged activity, talk page, contributions etc.

As last time I encourage all voters to ask questions, even if you decide to vote for me.

Cheers, --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:21, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Question: Didn't you request a self-ban or something? Didn't you undo your own sysops status?--Thadeous Oakley 14:25, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Nope. I put in a request on Demotions. Cheese did the demoting. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:38, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  As in I bring people down, or I've got Down's syndrome? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:38, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Syndrome i'd say.--xoxo 09:27, 15 May 2009 (BST)

• Against- C-C-Combo Brea- I'm going to stop this before it gets too stale. Vouch- You have great perceptiveness and are a hard worker- just get rid of that message at the top of your talk page! D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 00:05, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  I'm fine with your abstention Axe. Is it because I ate you in Monroeville? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:38, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  Did you? I don't even remember that. But no, that's not it. I'm just trying out a new policy of "abstain friends/acquaintances running for a promo". --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} (status:‎Mudkip!) 00:40, 14 May 2009 (BST)

  Wow. So you only vote for people you don't know/like? (Looks at the other promotion bids currently under discussion).--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:41, 14 May 2009 (BST)

  No, he abstained from mine specifically because he didn't know me... I think he just abstains from every bid, like a religious principle or something. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:24, 14 May 2009 (BST)

  Not so. I've been abstaining people I don't know since forever. I just decided to throw in the abstain those that I know stuff just recently. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} (status:‎Mudkip!) 00:31, 15 May 2009 (BST)

• Eh? - I don't pay much attention to this old place these days but i thought you were an op...what happened?--xoxo 05:03, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  I started the third year of my degree course and didn't have the time, so I asked for a demotion, besides its always good for sops to run for re -election every now and then. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:38, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  sigh. And after all that time i spent trying to make some of the ALiM pages amusing. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:42, 18 May 2009 (BST)

  Don't worry, he used that "reason" on every bid on this page. --Pestolence^(talk) 20:52, 18 May 2009 (BST)

• Ross did a good job when he last held the position, and giving it up when he went less active shows respect to the rest of the wiki -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:29 19 May 2009 (BST)

Ross has always done a good job - both prevoiusly as a sysop and as a regular user. There's consensus with SA here, so Ross has been promoted. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:59, 26 May 2009 (BST)
