'''Question''' - I'm curious - you were nominated for admin less than a week ago, but you chose to turn it down; why? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 18:08, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
:'''Answer''' - I felt that Fangirl's nomination was not descriptive enough and it had some issues with the wording. I appreciated her nomination though.

There are two main questions that need to be answered when selecting new administrators. Firstly, is the applicant/nominee capable of using sysop rights effectively, to improve the wiki on a more technical level, to help grow the community, and to help combat vandalism? But beyond the question of whether a user can handle, technically-speaking, the powers that adminship provides, there is an additional question; can the user be trusted to apply those powers fairly, to apply them without prejudice, and to be open to criticism from users and other administrators if those powers are allegedly misused?
I am sure that HanaGoth meets the first of the two criteria I have listed. I am confident that if she were given administrator rights, she would be more than capable of using those tools that would be at her disposal; her edits so far on the wiki do prove this. But those very same edits and actions on the wiki also cause me some concern when it comes to the matter of answering the second of the two questions posed here. Unfortunately, Hana has shown a propensity towards rash action rather than well-thought reaction to criticisms, disagreements or quarrels.
I am not a fan of personal criticisms of applicants. I have been [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_Wiki:Requests_for_bureaucratship?oldid=406713#Voting voted against] on similar grounds in the past. For this reason, I do not oppose this application; I am simply hesitant. It would be improper for me to support the application given the issues I have seen, but it would be improper for me not to give her a chance to prove that she is ready for the position. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 18:37, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
