Andrew Dalby (7/0/0), ad finem veniet 4 Februarii, 24:00

Andreas Dalby qui iam nobiscum dodrantem partem anni operatur, qui cum multas bonas commentationes in Vicipaedia scripsit, tum etiam in Saeculo commentationes et libros (de quibus videatis quaeso symbolen Vicipaedianam), qui doctissimus est et peritissimus in rebus glottologicis, bibliothecariis, et (quid plura?) cibariis, ut Magistratus fiat iamiam hora advenit.

Andrew Dalby has been with us for about nine months now. He's written plenty of good articles in Wikipedia, not to mention his articles and books in the Real World (see here for more info). He is thoroughly versed in matters of linguistics, library science, and best of all food. It is high time we made him an admin.

Gratias tibi ago, Iustine. Si placet aliis me eligere, accipio. Si vultis me rogare de aliquo, rogate! Andrew Dalby 13:42, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not in bad taste, and no one minds, I'd like to nominate myself to be an admin. I think my latin is okay; I understand latin pretty well, and can communicate okay (I think?). I've also been member for about year, my first edit having been made at 04:34, 3 Ianuarii 2006. Besides that I have over 1,500 edits on this wikipedia, and have translated a fair amount of articles from either the English or German wikipedias. I'm also learning French, so I'll, god willing, be able to translate articles from french, and french dialects into Latin as well. Really that's all I have to say about my self. You can check my talk page though. Thanks, Alexanderr 07:42, 29 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mucius Tever 11:33, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC) — I'm afraid the balance of opinion I understand to be around you (as an editor, anyway) is chiefly negative. That, and you don't seem to have any specific goals in mind (like the last self-nominee—though I didn't agree with his goals, it was good he had specific plans for which he thought adminship necessary).[reply]

Alexanderr, since you nominated yourself: Why do you want this job? --Rolandus 21:47, 29 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rolandus, truthfully, I want this job, and nominated myself for it, because I've never been an administrator on any wikipedia - and I've been involved on several different ones - however that isn't to say that I wouldn't use whatever "powers" that come with it (such as deleting nonsense pages, or blocking vandals) to the best of my abilities. And I'd also be more than glad to help any new users who have questions, again as best I can. Alexanderr 00:12, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alexanderr, since you mention it, I have patrolled your accounts on other wikipedias (which is hard to do since you don't have iw links on your pages!), and I seem to see the same problem elsewhere. You even admit here to using a german machine translator.

I also don't have to read but a couple lines down from that to see you have been at other wikipedias removing images that you feel are inappropriate, regardless of scientific validity.--Ioshus ^(disp) 03:00, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ioshus, first off I'll address the bit about admiting to using a german machine translator - I don't. I translate it to the best of my ability, in my head, to and fro. I realize that I added "if I can help it", but if you look at the context of that comment you will see that it was actually a reaction to a comment by another user, who thought I was using one. So I don't use a machine translator. The most I use is www.leo.org to figure out the occasional word I don't know.

As for the pubic hair image, I removed it, it was re-added, and I still feel it inappropriate, however this wikipedia now has the option to hid images so it isn't quite so bad. At least you don't have to look at an image like that if you don't want to. Alexanderr 03:20, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. while the interwikilink isn't on my page at the moment, it was once there, and that is how you were able to view my German account in the first place right? Alexanderr 03:24, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vera ain tu te latine facile posse intelligere loquique? Fere in omnibus paginis quam scripsisti contenta erant corrigenda vel gravius. Peius, haud semper opem petes priusquam inceperis paginam scribere. Quippe sunt mihi sollicitudines aliae, at latinitas tua non est quod appellaturus sim "OK"... Responsum haben?--Ioshus ^(disp) 22:04, 29 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ioshus, I understand that my latin isn't great, I never said it was, but I do think it is okay, and it certainly isn't as bad as when I first arrived here. In fact I understand quite a bit for someone who has been teaching himself. Also I freely admit that there are errors on the pages I create, but I do do my best. Also whenever you, Iacobus, or Iustinus want to tell teach me something I'm more than willing to learn, and to impliment it in my future articles. I even try to go back and correct errors those articles of mine that no one's corrected. Simply that's all I have to say. Alexanderr 00:12, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Miror...de latinitate tua tam incertus videris ut mihi non latine audes responsum dare conari. Rogo, quibus libris linguam latinam tibimet docebas? Cur voluisti linguam latinam discere? Cur non credes magistrum utilem in linguis discendo? Diu curiosus eram...--Ioshus ^(disp) 01:08, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sine me addere: sic, nuper volens eras errores tuas corrigere, at non semper; memento "roditor" et "animales"...?--Ioshus ^(disp) 01:14, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder...why you're speaking latin to me, other than to get me to make some mistake, which you can display to everyone? If that is your intent, as you said before, my articles have plenty of errors. And as to the books I've used to learn latin (for I do believe that is what you questioned? I admit that "tibite" throws me off a bit) I own a copy of Wheelock's latin, and have looked over it, especially in regards to the gerund form, however I have yet to really read it. Concering why I decided to learn latin, well that's really my business, as is why I am not taught by a teacher, however if you insist...the first question I don't have an answer to. I simply don't remember why I wanted to learn latin. And as for the second I have yet to find a school that offers it. Alexanderr 01:55, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking to you in latin because you have asked for adminship on a latin wikipedia, and listed your level of latin and specifically your ability to communicate (i think?) as a reason why we should support your campaign. Please note that I said I was curious, not that it was any of my business. Also note that I am asking some questions and trying to hear your take on things before simply voting no, so let's just keep it in the spirit of a constructive discussion.--Ioshus ^(disp) 03:00, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I do remember "roditor" and "animales", is that the reason why I shouldn't be an administrator? Because translated rodent from scratch, being unable to find a word for it elsewhere?

Note, you might have asked, or at least looked at the taxonomical name, which is usually latin. This highlights another concern I mentioned above, that you often don't ask about a topic first. You seem to think that becuase no one is around to ask, you can put content you know to be wrong in the namespace instead of hacking it out on notepad, or on a subpage of your user page. This is not to say you never ask first, but alot of times you don't.--Ioshus ^(disp) 03:00, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Or that I thought you were a bit overbearing concerning the word "animales" which is actually valid, used once in the vulgate, and listed on whitaker's words? Should those mistakes, providing that the second was a mistake, disqualify me for the job of administrator? I don't think so, but you can vote whatever way you see fit. Pax. Alexanderr 01:55, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not these two mistakes themselves, I wasn't suggesting that.--Ioshus ^(disp) 03:00, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the idea is that those who nominate themselves for the position have to undergo higher scrutiny... in this case to the line at the top about "Latinitatem optimam habeant". On a separate matter, I seem to remember a lot of allegations of POV-pushing around homophylophilia ... I never really kept up with that though, was it ever resolved? —Mucius Tever 02:45, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mucius, I understand that those who nominate themselves have to undergo higher scrutiny, however I did say that my latin was just "ok", not necessarily "optimam". Anyways, everyone just left the homophylophilia article eventually so I guess you could call that "resolved". I don't remember anyone being accused of POV pushing though. Alexanderr 02:58, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, having reviewed the talk page I guess there was quite a bit of dispute, more than I remembered. Alexanderr 05:50, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If Anyone wants to examine my control of the latin language, you can are more than welcome to view my most recent article Buenaventura River. Alexanderr 01:59, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mucius, I'm not here to debate your vote, and if you don't want to discuss it that is fine, but what do you mean? The balance of opinon around me is negative? Are you saying that I'm negative, or my contributions are negative? Alexanderr 16:25, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I don't like these debate. I'm afraid that this wikipedia is still too small to let impatient or quarrelsome people to become an example for new or occasional users. No problem for Alexanderr's contributions as user, but being administrator implies more than what i understand from this discussions. If I trust people like Josh or Roland is not because I'm here every day, but because every time I read their comments i find this trust confirmed. to be brief...

Well it's obvious that no one else'll support my petition, so I'll withdraw it. Thanks for you support Marc. Alexanderr 20:56, 1 Februarii 2007 (UTC)[reply]
