Administrator vs executor

administrator is something quite different from executor thus I have amended. I understand this as the possible in Hong Kong and the UK. If this is different from other common law jurisdictions please further amend. --Sunnyhsli 07:49, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Like many other titles and roles, AFAIK ”administrator” is used for both men and women. Sjö (talk) 09:31, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Globalize

Hi Fellow Wikipedians! The reason I have added that Globalize tag, is that it a mainly Anglo-centric idea of an administrator. It doesn't detail the German idea of administrator, which is the beamter, the Scottish version, which demptser (I think), and the Japanese or Chinese versions, and probably many others. scope_creep (talk) 07:59, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

The purpose of disambiguation pages is to distinguish and help the reader find the correct existing page. Per MOS:DABRED redlinks "should only be included on a disambiguation page when a linked article (not just other disambiguation pages) also includes that red link". I think that you're putting the cart before the horse here: the way to improve the global perpective is to create text about the other types of administrators that are missing and add the links to this dab page. Tagging this dab page with the globalize tag is wrong if the only way to fix it is to add links to non-existing articles, against WP:MOS. Sjö (talk) 10:57, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Admin

I’ve been approached via email from someone who states they are an administrator but I cannot find them in the admin list. Jackson Cole is his name. I asked why his name was not in the admin list and he came back with:

“ Dear Professor Niemeier, Thank you for your message. We are a team of experienced professionals providing Wikipedia editorial services worldwide, with over 100 successfully published pages. I would be honored to help create a concise and well-sourced Wikipedia page highlighting your distinguished career. …”

how do I determine if he is for real? ~2025-33042-68 (talk) 13:40, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

This is the article for the general concept of an administrator, not a way to contact wiki admins.

That being said, 99% chance they're not an admin and 100% chance they're untrustworthy. Gnomingstuff (talk) 14:53, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
