I wanted to apply for sysop status and mailed Jimbo Wales, as mentioned on the page concerning the topic; he referred me to the list, however. Can any of you sysops judge if my "application" is valid? And then also fix the page concerning the topic?
I need to do some more work to the software to organize this process, so we don't really have a formal process at the moment. I remember your name from several bug reports you've filed (thanks), and you participate on the list and have a valid email address, so if you'll confirm for me that you are wiki user "Jheijmans", and I'll fix you up.
P.S. I also looked at your contributions page, and it's over half Talk pages. While they're certainly a necessary part of what goes on here, we also have an informal tradition here (it was stated somewhere once, maybe I need to put it into the policy pages) that if you do a lot or "meta" stuff you should at least do a bit of work on real articles to balance it out--edit some random articles, add a short bio of someone, etc. Sysops ought to set an example here.
