question

What kind of muffins? Mini Me 20:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Every kind is okay...

Btw. "Never heard of this guy." - I don't get how that is even possible :O poke | talk 07:31, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought that. It's a bit like going on Wikipedia and saying "who's this Jimbo Wales guy?" --snograt 22:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

With all honesty I can say "I know of Jimbo Wales is, and also Larry Sanger, but I have no idea who LordBiro is. Was he a co-founder of something too?" ~~000.00.00.00~~ 22:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

You see his work every day here on GWW as well as GWiki. He created the vast majority of the icons we use to represent things like professions etc... Of course that's just a small part of what he has contributed, but probably the most visible. -- Wyn talk 22:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I did not know that, though from Snograt's comparison and Poke's " :O " I half expected something... bigger. I guess I'm just picky ^_^ ~~000.00.00.00~~ 22:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

--> Like this? :D As I said also the general infobox style was made by bax in the first place. Actually a lot of the current layout on GWW is based on his ideas. poke | talk 22:56, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Poke, you make me "lol". Nice one. ^_^ ~~000.00.00.00~~ 22:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

He was a bureaucrat on GuildWiki (and I think one of the first contributors to it, helping to set it up) and was integral in setting this wiki up too. -- Brains12 \ talk 00:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I was the third or fourth contributor to GuildWiki and the first sysop there, and then I was a bureaucrat there too. When it came to setting up GWW, I took part in a conference call with Gaile Gray and Mike O'Brien on behalf of the GuildWiki userbase to discuss what kind of culture an official wiki would have, since a lot of us were worried that we would lose our autonomy. It all turned out pretty well. I also contributed to policy a lot and stuff, but who didn't?

But this is not the reason why I should remain as a sysop. The community doesn't owe me anything for the work I've done, and even if it did, sysophood is not a reward for work carried out. Sysops are chosen because they are considered to be responsible, trusted users who can aid in the maintenance of the wiki.

If you no longer think that I am responsible, or if you no longer trust me, then I implore you to oppose my reconfirmation. LordBiro 17:43, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Questions for LordBiro

Why do you wish to maintain sysop status? And who do you feel you maintaining your status benefits? ~~000.00.00.00~~ 22:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
