 == Nominations (steward, sysadmin, etc.) ==
-First I'd like to say that I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I wish I did have more time to help other people out. That said best practice with nominations is usually to reach out to the user your nominating to see if their up for it before doing so. Culture varies wiki-by-wiki and there may be some where it is acceptable, or even normal to nominate without asking first but not in the majority of ones I'm familiar with.

 So I'd like to reiterate something I said earlier which is to slow down, read a lot, and get a feel for the local culture before diving into internal things you haven't done before (i.e. outside of mainspace). There is a saying on the internet applicable not just to wikis but online communities in general that goes "Lurk moar, it's ever enough" not literally true of course, but the basic idea is accurate and having a solid grasp of the local cultural norms will go a long way towards helping you cooperate well with others whatever website you're on.
