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 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-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 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!
