The best advice I could give is to pretend you're not a sysop. Even
though it's "no big deal", it can still get to your head. Oh, and I
triple your nomination. From what I've seen on the [[History of the
Soviet Union]] article, you've been very tactful and have done well for
the article.

Hi,
I just got a message from Mav that I've been nominated for Wikipedia
Administrator. Given that Mav communicated the message in a
flattering way, and that the invitation (which I understand is being
made to some others) reflects a sense that there is some need for
additional administrators, I can't see how I could say no. So,
thanks, and of course, yes.
I understand that being an administrator is not such a big deal, but
any increase in access must also involve an increase in
responsibility. If any of you have any particular advice about things
I should be attentive to, feel free to share it with me. Needless to
say I am not going to do anything as an administrator unilaterally,
but I assume that the point of having more administrators is to help
share whatever work is involved.
In the meantime, I will review various guidelines and policies -- and
you've finally gotten me to join Wikien-l!
