request for adminship
You seem to oppose the deletionism here on wikibooks. Am I right? Deletion is a destructive action that normal users are generally unable to investigate, and many messed-up books/articles/modules can be repaired in time.

I wonder if you could support me in a request for adminship. I had originally just been hoping to kill typos like the page that starts with Coobkook instead of Cookbook. I now discover that the VfD process is getting bypassed even for pages with content, which is a disturbing violation of policy. I'd like to be able to see the deleted pages so I can investigate this, and thus need admin access for that reason also. As soon as I mentioned this, I got opposition from someone who was supporting the vote-free content deletion.

In case you have a Linux box and wish to verify my identity, do "man ps" and email the maintainer.

Otherwise, note that I have contributed over two dozen original recipes to the Cookbook. I suspect I may be the number one recipe contributer in fact. I have added many more ingredients, from Water to Tomato, and added zillions of missing headers and links.
