== Congratulations! == 
 Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers!   |   
 : Thank you, it is an honor to be bestowed such a responsibility and it appears I have much reading to do.  One question I had is regarding page protection; when it is considered acceptable to vprotect a page and when should such a protection period expire?  Best regards,
