Houaniver, adminship shuidna be a muckle thing. Admin actions is reversible; bein an admin is maistlins an extra responsibeility, sin there are rules an policies that juist applees til admins.

1. Weel, ye canna write in Scots, ye canna feenish sentences (see abuin), ye're ill-mootht an ye act like a bairn. Fu merks fir tryin, but. Bazza 13:16, 3 Apryle 2008 (UTC)
2. You hae been here for twa meenits, an ye haena pruived yersel yet. Gin ye hang aroond an gie some guid inpit tae the Wiki, mebee than ye can think aboot Adminship. The nou, ye are juist makkin airticles in wrangous Scots. Nane o us are perfit at writin in Scots acause we war ne'er teacht it, but uisin the airtins on yer Collogue page ye'll be scrievin guid Scots afore ye ken it. An gif A war an ill-thochtit body a wad be think it gey orra that baith User:Roomtouch an User:Simple11 makkit an accoont at aboot the same time an uphaudit yer RfA at aboot the same time, juist 10 meenites efter. Scroggie 16:58, 3 Apryle 2008 (UTC)
3. Awa. Fowk canna waltz in here an ask tae be made admins efter makkin twa-three contreebutions in wrangous Scots an haein yer freends leave threatenin comments on fowk's collogue pages ("you leave milesdata -alone or youll pay"). "I tink I noo mae oon langweege" -- thon isna Scots. Nae Scots dialect stops 'th' (maks it intae a 't'). Nae Scots dialect uises the soondin [nu] <noo> for Eng. 'know'/Eastren Scots 'ken'. Nae Scots dialect uises [un] <oon> for 'ain'/Eng. 'own'. Gin ye'r sairious aboot this -- and A dout thon -- then mak some mair contreebutions in something that's near tae richt Scots, become pairt o oor community, stop registerin sockpuppets for tae uphaud yer adminship application, an we micht think aboot it. As it is, ye maun think we're saft in the heid. Mendor 11:15, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

1. I dont know who you think you are Bazza but miles data is a good friend of mine and i know what hes like and he would not badmouth you i think you're a bit dillusional but if anyones the villain here then its you so i strongly support this RFA.Simple11 15:01, 3 Apryle 2008 (UTC)
2. I do not personally know him, but the stuff he wrote (before it was deleted for a strange reason, where is it now?) I found really helpful. I think his scottish is a lot better than any others I have heard. I think your discriminating because of his northern aberdeen language.Roomtouch 15:08, 3 Apryle 2008 (UTC)
   1. Wad that be Aiberdeen in Mississipi or Aiberdeen in Sooth Dakota coz naebody fae Aiberdeen in Scotland wad cry it "northern aberdeen language" ? -- 34.252.131.64 14:58, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)
3. So what if hes only been here a short while, he has the potential, my students at my scottish school can actually understand him, unlike some of the others such as Bazza who can only speak basic scottish.Honestsoap

You need an admin that can speak alternative forms of scotish like milesdata. None of the kids in my school im teaching at can understand any of you, but I found out about this Milesdata person and he speaks EXACTLY how we do.--Honestsoap 09:54, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

Firstlins it's cried Scots no Scottish. A di' ken hou ye'd ken hou User:Milesdata speaks fae the wey he writes, but gin he's tryin tae pit ower some dialect featurs that's missin fae the Scots the rest o us speak, then it's a gey queer dialect o Scots that nane o the lave o us hiv ever come across. Mendor 11:15, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

Acht, they're aw sockpuppets. Ah'm guessin Milesdata an aw his aliases'll get bored suin an gae play on anither wiki. Bazza 11:45, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

I just found out you people opposing are not even Scots. Milesdata actually is, surely you need Scots on the Scots page.--Honestsoap 11:55, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

A'm Dundee born an bred masel, so ye'r no ontae a winner wi this airgiement. Mendor 12:12, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

Do you want a medal for that Mendor? but the rest of the admins aren't you blind fool--Honestsoap 12:24, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

Hiya :-) An aye, Ah'm Inglis born an bred. Dae Ah get a medal? Bit it's no aboot whaur fowk come fae, bit aboot the leid. An it's clear as watter at ye dinna ken the leid. This isnae a wikipedia fir fowk frae Scotland - it's a wikipeda in the Scots leid. Bazza 15:05, 4 Apryle 2008 (UTC)

STOP SPEAKING IN A LANGUAGE WHICH ISNT YOURS ITS AS IF YOU ARE INSULTIN SCOTSHonestsoap

Nou thon juist winna dae. Ar ye sairiously suggestin that ainlie fowk that's Scottish an tocht auld fermin wurds on their grandmithir's knee suld use the leid? Thon's the ae maist sure-fire gate tae kill wir leid - stappin new fowk learnin it, fremmit or no. Whit a gowk. Ma vote, fer whit its wurth, is "Na" - not until ye gie us proper fou-length airticles an stap greitin like a wean. Mind ye've nae richt tae be an admin till ye can pruive yersel. There's monie fowk here that's duin a guid sicht mair nor yersel on here that dinna thriep they suld hae the pouer tae rin the wiki, sic as masel, fer ensample. - Duncan Sneddon (no loggit in the the nou).

A appreciate the vote fae lang-time contreibutor 84.135, but is anonymous IPs richt alloued tae vote? Mendor 15:51, 25 Dizember 2006 (UTC)

Gin it wis ony ither anonymous IP they wadna be, but 84.135 has bin warkin wi us for a lang time. He's a weel-kent pairt o the commonty tae aw o us and it wadna be richt to deny him. Tae be frank, he's got mair richt than mony fowk that haes registered uisernames but nivver contreebuted. A juist wish he'd mak some uisername for himsel (84.135 wad dae fine), sae we didna hae tae worry aboot his richt tae jyn in at a time like this. -- Derek Ross 18:42, 25 Dizember 2006 (UTC)

Eh'd be richt glad tae Mendor as a Beurocrat. Bazza 11:55, 26 Dizember 2006 (UTC)
