RfA: A self-nomination (parody)

(sung to the tune of the Major-General's Song)

:I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian:

:I've knowledge of Greek drama, both comedic and tragedian;

:I know historic battlefields from Ancient Rome to World War Two,

:And neutral is the mode in which I always keep my point of view!

:I'm very well acquainted, too, with Polynese ethnology.

:I understand Samoan lore and Mā-ori mythology.

:From mountain peaks of Suriname to passes of the Great Divide,

:I see to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!

::He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wikified!

::He sees to it that everything is quite correctly wiki- wikified!

:Some people think my entries are little more than trivia —

:That episode of "Barney" or some woodwind of Bolivia —

:And yet, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,

:I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian

::In short, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,

::He is the very model of a modern Wikipedian!

:I SIGN all of my comments; and I summarize my each edit;

:I never BITE; I never POINT; I follow wiki etiquette;

:I assume good faith when wiki-flamed, and wear a thickened wiki-skin.

:For I'm the very model of a proper wiki-citizen:

:I'm often found at village pumps discussing rules and policy,

:And judging notability while over at the AfD,

:In matters wiki-sophic, I'm no exopede inclusionist,

:But an incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!

::An incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusionist!

::An incremento-eventuo-darwikian-delusion-usionist!

:I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian.

:I wrote this wiki-parody to ease some wiki-tedium.

:When dealing with my colleagues, I'm a friendly wiki-editor,

:But when provoked I can become a vandal-stalking predator;

::When dealing with his colleagues he's a friendly wiki-editor,

::But when provoked he can become a vandal-stalking predator!

:Reverts and warnings I have made while on the recent change patrol,

:I play some cat-and-mouse with them, but now I want to block 'em all,

:And so at last I must become a wiki admin-candidate:

:And since I am my only fan, I've no choice but to self-nominate.

:As prep for this, I've studied up on bans and blocks and redirects,

:And I can tell you all about both SEMIs and full page protects,

:And when you hear all that I know of wikipede sysop-ery,

:You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the mop-pery

::You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppery.

::You’ll say no better candidate has ever sought the moppa-moppery.

:Now adminship, as Jimbo says, is really no big deal at all:

:So many fail, and so might I (my role in portal talk's been small)

:But still, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,

:I am the very model of a modern Wikipedian

::In short, in matters great and small, the high and low and median,

::He is the very model of a modern Wikipedian!
