It looks like the current LW wiki admins were created when the wiki was started and the list has never been updated. We may need more 'crats too ... I nominate Vladimir Nesov. And Ciphergoth. (Who appears to have previously been one.) …

I cleaned the list up a week or so ago. I meant no offense to ciphergoth by removing him (I couldn't remember official permission to grant that power so removed it).

Wmoore and I have Bureaucrat power without authority, so there is effectively only one Bureaucrat (with six arms).

I am in discussion with Eliezer regarding this thread.

No offence taken :-) I'm happy to be an admin or bureaucrat if people like. I agree with David that we should err on the side of handing out adminships quite freely.

I know of no reason ciphergoth couldn't be an admin if he wanted, if anyone cares.

Am getting pissed off with not having the "skipcapcha" privilege - I'd still love to be an admin if there's a way to move that forward. And I still think we should hand out adminships like candy to anyone we think is a good sort, it doesn't give you the power to do lasting harm.
