I'm a former administrator on the English Wikipedia. I was made an admin in 2006 but I was recalled for cause in 2010, which is how it's supposed to work ya mooks. My admin logs: block, deletion, protection.

I guess was an OK admin... I don't believe I got any complaints for any of my blocks, discussion closes, page protections, or any other admin actions, or for being uncivil. If I am recalling correctly, which possibly not. I was never taken to deletion review or (if I recall correctly) WP:ANI for any admin actions I don't think. I was removed basically because of my uh Little Problem, which is legit I suppose. The admin corps does seem to be managing well enough without me.

Modo aliquid addere debebam ut insigne not tatam paginae format, sic hic accedit.

Solus editor sum, qui se sponte obtulit ad revocandum et processum usque ad finem secutus. Unicus. Sperabam fore ut haec praxis interdum regularus fieret et auxilium impediret vel saltem tardaret, ah processu cui omnes humanae consociationes subiciuntur.

Certe nigrum novum non fiebat, quod dissapointum sed non miror, et non est futurum etiam si vellemus. Vides ergo ubi sumus, aut fortasse non. Alioqui homines, et de eo nimium solliciti esse non potes.

Iuppiter, imple vacuum. Recte igitur hoc: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua... tristique senectus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames. Et malesuada fames ac turpis... Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... memento mori." -- Ethan Shredlew

To clarify, this is stuff I find useful in my work. I'm not saying that these are necessarily useful to anyone else.
