I hope that Zoe has not withdrawn her request. In my four months here Zoe has been one of the most impressive people I have come across, and considering some of the talent and ability working on Wiki, that says something. I don't imagine her becoming some sort of mini-Hitler. I missed (had the luck to miss?) the start of the Lir /children of Lir saga, but I for one would like to see Zoe get the position. Every so often Wiki does attract vandals, nutters, nutty vandals, not to mention people who were obviously in the lavatory when God was giving out charm (DW?) so we need people like Zoe empowered to deal with them; once she does more of a Kofi Annan than a George Bush I'll be quite happy.

As I've said to Jimbo off list, forget it. If I can't be trusted, if I'm so disliked, don't give me the damn thing. Zoe Jesse Alter jesse@snacksoft.com wrote:No objections here. I'd just like to caution others against seeing this as an issue of good versus evil. I don't mean to preemptively accuse Zoe, as she has, from what I understand, a pretty good track record, but I wish to see both Lir and Zoe being held to the same standards. Lir shouldn't get any lenience because he/she (I'm confused) is learning what constitutes a good contribution, and Zoe should not get any lenience because she is in a more authoritative. I hope my comments don't seem presumptuous or accusatory. I'm still quite the newbie/outsider in Wikipedia terms, I think.
