The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship

Administrator requests are almost always open on.

Minimum requirements
If you have proven yourself to be a valuable member of the community, and you think you're capable of doing the job, this is where to apply. Minimum requirements are:
 * Average or higher wiki editing knowledge.
 * This means you have to have contributed regularly to some wiki (not necessarily this one).


 * Having started to contribute on The Sims Wiki (edits in the content namespace are not taken too seriously).
 * Your first edit on The Sims Wiki should not be your application on this page.


 * Understandable, (almost 100%) correct English all the time.
 * If u talk liek dis, ur not rdy 2 bcome admin


 * Playing the game is nice, since you'll be editing and making decisions based on the game's content.
 * Be able to expand articles to make them more useful for the community.
 * You should not copy articles from Wikipedia and paste them here.


 * Rollback rights are a prerequisite for requesting adminship.

What you will do as an admin

 * Revert vandalism, warn and/or block vandals.
 * Move pages to correct page names, delete unnecessary redirects.
 * Have a strong voice when decisions have to be made.
 * Represent The Sims Wiki well in the Wikia and internet community.

What you may not do as an admin

 * Use your administrator privileges to take advantage of users or to control the wiki.
 * Ignore the needs and wants of wiki users.
 * Act as a poor representative of The Sims Wiki on other wikis, or participate in major cross-wiki drama.

More info and a list of current admins can be found at Administrators.

Positions available
Additionally, some special positions are available for administrators and members of the community. These are filled on the Requests for special positions page, though users requesting administratorship here may in their request ask for one or more of these positions. List of positions and their responsibilities is available on this page. Willingness to take on special duties may make you more likely to be selected.

Open requests
Be sure to include two administrative projects you'd like to apply for, in your request

DanPin
Hello there, I am DanPin and I am a long time user of the wiki. I think I am ready to take this leap and apply, because if I were asked to do this a few months back, I wouldn't do it. However, I believe I can pull it off right now.

I would like to apply to the Community Development and Fanon Administration administrative projects, since these are the areas I am most familiar with. I, like any other user, have my qualities and my flaws, which I will refer to right away:

My qualities:
 * I have a good knowledge of English;
 * I am the Ombudsman in here - which means I can settle disputes between users;
 * Alongside MTDM, I run the Newsletter;
 * I started editing on July 30th, 2010 (i.e. for over a year and a half);
 * When I see vandalism in pages, I try to undo those edits;
 * I usually play all three main games (TS1, TS2 and TS3) for PC;
 * I have a bit of experience with templates and a lot of experience with Fanon articles.

My flaws:
 * I sometimes not edit that much (which is reflected on my edit count);
 * I can get grounded off-wiki sometimes, but if that happens I try my best to leave a notice.

So, since I think that all has been said, I'll now leave this request for you. 20:22, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - You're definitely one of the best editors and an active and known member of the community. If anyone deserves adminship, it's you. :) —Random Ranaun (Talk to me! ) 20:34, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - I feel you are capable for it. Also, it shows you are humble when you indicate your flaws on the request too, I definitely like that. (: -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 20:36, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
