I posted a request earlier, and nobody replied

The thing is that I'd /love/ to help wikipedia in the way that sysops can, but I never can, and if you look at my personal user contributions, you'll see I'm not a vandal, rather a helper in all categories

This was possibly because your post was to the wrong mailing list (Wikipedia-l rather than WikiEN-l) so it wasn't clear /which/ Wikipedia you were interested in being a sysop for.

But anyway, I've added your name to [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]]

(p.s. to all, this isn't a seconding - I don't know Ilya's work well enough - different time zones)
