CGS is one of the good guys. Seconded.
He will be an asset to the team.

Tony-
(By the way, what happened to the nomination for JTDirl? That one seems to have fallen through the cracks. It's been ages.)
Fred objected, and in cases like these, Jimbo usually has the final word. I've reminded him but he has not said anything yet (he appears to be a bit swamped at the moment).
Regards,
Erik
It's a go on JTDirl. Fred will be o.k.

I continue to object to sysop status for JTDirl. Take a look at the nasty comment on my talk page:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fred_Bauder especially on the last line:
"lol FearÉIREANN"
I made no mistake in objecting to him.

Without committing myself one way or the other about sysops, I find Fred's claim of a so-called "nasty comment" to be an egregious distortion of fact. The entire end reads as follows:
I thought I better let you know that this does crop up via the google search. Feel free, BTW, to erase this message if you want. For all our disagreements, I think it deeply wrong that the above accusation comes up against your name on google. lol FearÉIREANN http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jtdirl
This last paragraph and the much longer posting that precedes it seems very conciliatory. The most relevant distortion seems to involve treating the "Fear" part of the nickname as some kind of imperative. Fred may not have noticed that JTDirl lives in Dublin, and his most abiding contributions have been in matters of Irish interest. I would assign Fred the homework of looking up "fear" in a Gaelic dictionary.
May I suggest to JTDirl that an article on Irish Gaelic comparable to TAW's article on Polish would be most welcome at Wiktionary.

and "lol" means what?

It used to mean "little old lady"
Now I usually take it to mean "Lots of Luck!"
Is there another?

All the more reason to avoid these abbreviations!
http://www.astro.umd.edu/%7Emarshall/abbrev.html#L lists all three for lol
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?acronym=lol&String=exact&p... lists 37 meanings for the same thing!!

In Internet speak, "Laugh out loud", elsewhere, "Lots of love". I've seen JTD state elsewhere that he's new to the net.
In some Irish contexts it can also mean Loyal Orange Lodge. :-(

To be pedantic, people who would use that term would be unlikely to use it in an "Irish" context. I doubt that was JTD's intent, but as he seems to be more of a night owl, his explanation may come later on.

I'll save him the trouble. Fear Éireann means Ireland Man, or ÉIREman as one of JTD's previous aliases went. And while I'm at it, STÓD/ÉIRE is the same as JTDIrl, with JTD's initials /as gaeilge/

I third CGS, he seems interested in improving the Wikipedia, and we always need more people like that.
Oh, and in context, "lol" DEFINITELY meant "laughing out loud". I take it you all don't regularly read the [[leet]] article...
