My username is anonymous56789. Even though I've only used this account
for
a few weeks, I've been using wikipedia for months. I definitely
wouldn't
abuse admil powers. I edit wikipedia every day and make a new entry on average about 2 a day. I always check my sources. Before letting me be
an
admin, I think you should know that I am 13 years old, and if you think
my
information would be inaccurate, then don't make me an admin.
I don't want to be antagonistic, but as it stands I can't endorse someone
for
sysop powers who is both this new to wikipedia and who does not answer questions on their user talk page or on talk pages on articles they
started .

I tend to agree with Sacha - There are bound to be people wanting Sysop rights right away... Ive been around for a few months now. ( I think) And I dont want to ask for them, because they would require I tenor my language somewhat beyond what I do already under threats of censure.... Too soon, not being necessarily an issue of age, but of loyalty to the WP, and a firm and demonstrated understanding of its politics... politics is an immature and crafty business... I would suggest the minimum be around 6 months of solid work and demonstrated issues resolution before sysopdom... -Steven
