Admins dinna hae ony byordinar authority on Wikipedia, but is hauden ti heich standards, sin they are seen bi some uisers as the "offeicial face" o Wikipedia. Admins shuid be mainerlie, an shuid shaw guid juidgment an patience in dealin wi ithers. Nominees shuid hae been on Wikipedia lang eneuch for fowk ti see gif they hae thir qualities or no. Houaniver, adminship shuidna be a muckle thing. Admin actions is reversible; bein an admin is maistlins an extra responsibeility, sin there are rules an policies that juist applees til admins.

2. Oppone - A'm seen nae need fur the tuils here. There's been twa instances ae coontervandalism, nae instances ae requestin speedy deletion ae spam, nae contreibutions ti discussions. Mibbe gin a see contreibutions ti deletion discussions an potential policy chynges, mair antivandalism/antispam wirk, an less churnt oot short/unreferenced airticles lik Inter Miami, Ulster Banner an Enner Valencia then mibbe in the future CiphriusKane (tauk) 04:13, 4 Julie 2023 (UTC)
