Chris is a bureaucrat! This means they can delete, move and protect pages and make other users Administrators. They can also ban users if necessary. But don't worry - Chris doesn't bite! If you have noticed vandalism, want something doing or just want to learn about the wiki, don't hesitate to visit my talk page!

Hi Chris, the school have a concern and I will copy and paste the message I sent Clizard on facebook for you (it is a serious issue):

Hi David,

I had to speak to the network team alongside Camponhoyle today, and they have a growing concern regarding attacks on other pupils. They said that the wiki is no longer what it was originally intended for and that there is too many attacks, even 'small' ones such as 'He/she is stupid.' I understand there was a statement written a while back, and although I have updated the date, I feel we have to create a new page with a new message, as well as contacting all the administrators to give them new instructions.

Hope to hear from you soon,

BRGSMan

I think it would be worth refreshing and reiterating the message of the first statement so I'll write another one shortly to inform new editors and remind existing editors. This issue remains the key concern of mine also and we should step up our efforts to review older content. I wouldn't characterise it as a growing problem, more a problem of tidying up edits on things admins don't know a lot about. As has been discussed before, knowing when to undo, modify, delete or ban is neither always possible, or as easy as it sounds. This is why I have made previous attempts to encourage admins from each year, who will be more familiar with their content areas. This is also a challenge for readers and editors. Clizard.

There are several users who want to become admins, I've set up a discussion on the moderators notice board. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 21:37, 17 October 2010 (BST)

Please could you start me off becoming an Admin? I have wrote a few pages myself that where empty as well as editing current ones as I am kind of OCD on layouts and formatting. I often help Alan in his Admin dutys (reporting pages, problems, ect) and im sure if you asked him he could tell you how I help him. I have lots of free time to read through changes and are often on computers for most of the day so I think I would be able to help the Wiki. Read my page to find out more about me or ask Alan. What else do I need to do to become one or prove me worth? Many thanks, Taylornator

I've read the Admin Policy and I just wanted to know. What is the minimal specs to become an admin, and how far away I currently am away from it.

Alan 18:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

There is no real minimal specs to become and admin, we just take requests and then discuss between ourselves whether you are fit for the job. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 18:48, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Chris, can you start me on the trial? Alan 09:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Chris, can you get the following extensions installed?

• Wiki Parser Functions
• Who's online?

Alan 14:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Not at the moment, but maybe over summer. The problem with extensions is that the mediawiki extension hooks keep obsoleting them and they usually aren't official production versions so they take longer than expected to install and maintain. DavidB 16:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

About my admin trial, I'd like to know how I'm doing. Could you please post a review on my talk page of what I've done good, what I've done bad, things that I could improve on and what you want me to start doing in the future.

It's been over way over a week since my admin trial started, I'd just like to know how I'm getting on.

Hello Chris can you make me an administrator please I will help you make pages and do anything you say. Can you please start a trial of about 2 weeks to see if I fit the bill, Thanks-Woozle44 User:woozle44 19:47, 30 april 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, he can become an administrator for now. Any other help? Let me know! Thanks BRGSMan ^{talk - contribs} 20:47, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't insult anyone, I just recounted an incident which related to the person has it was related to me. I was not being insulting or offensive yet i was threatened with a ban from William (woozle44). My dad saw this and thought this was an abuse of admin power has the information was regarding something known within the class and was dealing with how the name occurred, not has an insult or insulting term.

It seems that to me that if both Alan and William are admins then they should then operate as admins and not seek to bully others who have not been insulting but have just stated a diffence of opinion. The site is not for some minority to control the majority though i agree that bullying should not be tolerated but this goes for the admins too.

Hello Chris, Can you please delete the page REBECCA LEYLAND at the request of her parents. Thanks
