I am requesting sysop status on Wikipedia.
I see that within minutes of my requesting sysop status, Maveric149 rushed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators]] page to alter the admission policy.
Specifically, he added the word "trusted" to the criteria. This word has not been part of the policy since August 12th, when it was removed by Lee Daniel Crocker.
I interpret this action to imply that Maveric149 does not trust me, and intends to use his post facto manipulation of the policy to oppose my promotion.
Nonetheless, my request for Sysop status still stands. My edits have been useful contributions to Wikipedia. I have not been involved in any edit wars, with the possible exception of the "Hitler's Balls" issue which was (and is) a difference of opinion regarding the copyright status of the text in question.
I fit the written guidelines prior to Maveric149's edits. Since I can further attest that I consider myself "trusted", I continue to fit the guidelines after his edits.

Having read some of your comments and the arrogance which you have responded to a number of people who have expressed legitimate concerns about your actions, I would about as much consider trusting you with sysop status as I would consider inviting George W. Bush around for supper, i.e. not very.
