Reasons why I would be an Administrator:

''[-I want to start off by saying that I'm not "running against" you, Cyber. I'm just throwing my hat in for Adminship as well... I'm not sure how this Admin request thing works exactly, or who is running this show. Anyway...-]''

Firstly, I am on the wiki pretty much every day, so I tend to be pretty aware of ongoing issues as well as ones that crop up unexpectedly. I try to be helpful to people whenever they request it, or appear to need it. I feel that I'm in fairly good standing with the current Mods, Admins, and Crats, as well as reguar users.

I feel I've done a fair amount of work for this wiki in the time I've been here. I try to help folks with constructive criticism in reviews, and I do my best to be fair while marking stories for work and deleting those that aren't up to snuff. I recently went through the ol' Needs Work category, helping to whittle down the number of forgotten pages in there by marking them for deletion, or marking them "Fixed." In the span of about a month, a small group of wiki users incuding myself got the needs work cat from around 80 pages (many having been in the cat for months) to about 10 pages (many fairly recent).

I think I could more effectively help the wiki if I were an admin, and I think that we're in a position where a few more active admins couldn't hurt us. If this comes down to a matter of choosing between Cyber and me, I'd say to go with him, since he asked first and has given some good reasons for himself. But, again, I don't think it would hurt to have a couple of new Admins.

In closing, I will just mention perhaps the most important factor in why I ought to be considered for adminship; I never put a fresh, unfrozen ice-cube tray on top of one that already contains solid, frozen ice. I put it underneath, so the ice cubes that are ready are easily available, while the tray containing the fresh water has time to solidify. Thank you.
