Is there a way for us to sysop people from the web, or is this a database thing. If
it's a database thing, could someone grab this for me?

Jimmy,
I have long been putting off requesting sysop privileges; I am and always have been, to say the least of it, a little unhappy with certain aspects of sysopdom, as you probably have gathered. However, the SQL querying functionality is beginning to become a "must have" for me. It will enable me to identify shortfall areas particularly in my specialist subjects (e.g. mythology, history, topology of SW England) where we need to get some efforts focussed, spot stubby or quasi-stubby articles that need attention, etc. My SQL btw is very very good (I am a full time DBMS designer) so hopefully I will be able to throw up some useful stuff for the other sysops.
I am also (occasionally) probably the only (sane!) person up at certain times, so if there is any vandalism occurring I might be on hand to deal with it. I certainly won't be deleting articles (except perhaps the patently pointless created by vandals) etc. Hope you think I'm safe enough to be let on the loose with 'em!
