GuildWiki talk:Requests for adminship/Skuld (2)

Just noting that Skuld hasn't accepted yet. There are 6 votes currently; I feel I may have been premature in voting before the candidate's acceptance, and my apologies to Skuld if that's the case. But I mainly want to mention the nomination reasoning. It's... uhh... weak, to say the least. =) I almost think it's a joke; the nomination is so bad it's hard to tell. — HarshLanguage 05:41, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Yup, that's it. The text was organized but collapsed after being edited for some reason. As for being a smarty pants, I work as a translator to and from English all day long, so it comes with the territory being bothered by things like that, especially by someone who claims "native level of English" on his user page.

 * I have a "Native" level of English and I do that all the time... They need to add another level: "I don't need my own Spell Checker." --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    16:41, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * If he was born in the US, UK, or other English speaking territories, then he has every right to say he's native speaking in English. Also, how do you make "≠", Zerris? What's the ASCII code for it?--Nog64Talk [[Image:Yaaaay.JPG]] 16:42, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * He is indeed a native who speaks English. Very good definition :)) NightAngel 16:44, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
 * As for the symbol, I actually didn't know, so I chose to be wise instead of smart. I just typed "Not Equal" into wikipedia and got this: Inequation. Now copy + paste the symbol from that page, and it works fine. Or just copy the one right here: ≠ --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    16:48, 22 March 2007 (CDT)
