Yeah, Ed, you probably shouldn't do that if people don't like the idea.
But we really should consider adjusting the software so that it happens automatically. I want to de-politicize it and de-mystify it.

First we need to clean up the undeletion process and keep a log of page protection/unprotection, otherwise things could get messy if a sysop ran amok.

I pretty much thought so... doing a couple weeks casual intern time would be just too easy for a whacker on a mission... Im all for semi-automation (software assistance) of crap cleanup, and of course though. - 豎眩:sv

I agree! The reasons why we don't currently do auto-sysopping are good ones. But there is a side-effect that isn't good, i.e. the notion of sysops having special authority over non-sysop users.

Opposed. Reasons: low-quality and irritating edits in the past, an obvious delight in contributing to controversies, and an incoherent style of arguing.

I didn't mean it as a reason against.
But could you now go round and tell ALL the other users who have imitated you to stick to the same compromise? do what you want, but clean up the mess please

And, if I read it right, used "Christian" to mean "English".
Vicki quipped: And, if I read it right, used "Christian" to mean "English".
Look, nearly every Westernized name has a "meaning," often rooted in Judeo-Christian mythos... Steven means 'Crowned' - Vicki means something else, I used to know what Danny meant, "Michael" might stand for 'pain in the butt'.. but I digress...
Translating phonetics into a language that doesnt have Germanic/ Latin phonetics is problematic. The S(sibilant)T(plosive) combination isnt found in phonetic renderings of Kanji... Japanese would change it to 'Si-de' or 'Sa-ti-va' .. in Chinese 'Shi-ben' ... Korean, I dunno. Any translation to Kanji requires a choice between the meaning or the phonetic.. Some do both but...
Since most westernized names have long lost their original 'meaning' - Any record of such meaning assigned to such name becomes relevant, should "meaning" become relevant. Entiendes? - 豎眩:sv

And neither "crowned" nor "Steven" is inherently Christian. Many cultures and religions crown people.

Si, entiendo muy bien. Como se dice en japonesa "vertigo"?
My name is a diminutive of "Victoria", so it means "victorious", and my last name means "rose branch".
Victoria scribed: Si, entiendo muy bien. Como se dice en japonesa
"vertigo"?
My name is a diminutive of "Victoria", so it means "victorious", and my last name means "rose branch".

I have no objections to Steve's sysop request. He may not be perfect, but he certainly qualifies according to our current "trusted contributor" requirement, unlike "Throbbing Monster Cock", who was the reason we created that requirement.
Let's not be arbitrary here.
