With that little summary of my time here aside, I'd like to request adminship here at SmashWiki. I believe it would help me become more productive here, since I'd be able to do more housekeeping for the wiki. I consider the [[SW:POLICY|policies and guidelines]] of SmashWiki very important, and have shown through my contributions and the help I've given that I completely understand them. These additions to the wiki probably are the most important thing I've done for the wiki and I think that they stand out a lot here. So now, I suppose that the last thing to say is, what's your opinion?

You know, I obviously didn't think too much about this idea; I rushed it too fast, so…'''withdrawn''', by the reasons given below.

#Firstly, I'm not sure we need any more Administrators at the moment - there's almost always an Admin checking Recent Changes or at least lurking on IRC to deal with any issues that may come up, and whenever you see that a vandal's popped up or a page needs deleting, one of us is always around to help. Secondly, I'm not sure that you'd be a great Admin - we don't have very much on which to base an opinion of your ability to manage on-wiki user disputes, but the disputes I've seen you have with other users on IRC tend not to go so well... I'm not saying you'd be a bad Admin, just that I haven't seen anything to really convince me that you'd be a great one. Work on the "Massive SmashWiki To-do List", add stuff to policy discussions, get Admin-like things done, and maybe re-apply in a couple of months.

#Like PoD said, we probably do not need many more admins. However, I do like the amount of work you have done. I haven't really seen many of these disputes talked about but contribution wise, you have been very good. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian;">[[User:Solar Dragon|<font color="green">The</font> <font color="red">Solar</font> <font color="blue">Dragon</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<font color="gold">talk</font>]])</sup></span>☆ 21:16, December 9, 2009 (UTC) | |||
