My opinion may not carry much weight, but I would suggest a more "confidence-inspiring" username. I fear only that some users might be put off by a sysop called "anonymous" anything. Having people be confident about you is an important part of being a sysop, I think.
But maybe I'm making too big a deal about this. What do the others think?

First we need to know what your user name is. Next we need somebody to quickly verify that you pretty much know how the place works and most importantly are not the type of person that would abuse admin powers (that is, you are not a vandal or troll). This describes nearly all old timers and most users that have been editing more or less daily for a month or so. I would bet it also describes you but we do need to know what username you edit under.
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.
