— adminship
I've been on the site a year now and written 30 articles including a few OR stories and one FA. I've also made over a thousand edits.

I'd like to have administrator tools to be able to add categories and do other minor cleanup to archived stories, and to delete spam when I see it. I'm an administrator on English Wikipedia and thus far have not managed to cause mass panic or rioting in the streets, so, at risk of tooting my own horn, I'd simply say that I think I'm reasonably competent. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Questions and comments

 * What are your plans for world domination? --Pi zero (talk) 13:03, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, Wikipedia admin, then Wikinews admin, then I plan to invade a small island and form my own navy. Or perhaps start a religion. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:37, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

 * The category hierarchy needs reform, as well as simple addition of people, places, and organizations; after more than a year puzzling over how to do the reform, I think I'm now getting close to ready to propose... something (but the js tools thing is a more immediate priority, as I'm pretty sure their availability will affect what one will see as possible for the cats). --Pi zero (talk) 13:03, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

 * as Tom knows what he's doing. Incidentally, I'm trying to tidy up Wikinewsie.org at the moment after a godaddy screwup on the MediaWiki install. Slow going, but I'll let folks know on the WC when there's something worth looking at. Just now it's only really (temporarily) for email addresses. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:56, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
