This is an old revision of this page, as edited by imported>Lost Labyrinth at 17:42, 15 September 2011(All done here, closing RfA as we have enough admins now imo but another bureaucrat is free to reopen if they see fit).

All new administrator applications must include a selection of two administrative projects that the applicant would like to fill upon promotion. Check the administrative projects page for a list of projects and the duties associated with them.
The Sims Wiki is currently open for administrators. Feel free to read our minimum requirements- if you meet them, apply below!
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.
After many considerations, I decided to request for Administrative Rights. I would like to appoint the Image and File Maintenance and Layout and Navigation as administrative projects. Here are some things I should say about me:
I am an active user and willing to help improve the quality of the wiki.
I am polite and respectful, as long as others think so.
I love The Sims 2 and has a wide knowledge of it, so I could be a good reference for The Sims 2 PC series.
I am merely a perfectionist. I will keep things in order and neat. I will tidy up articles so everything is sorted in the correct format. It's for the sake of simplicity.
I spruce existed things up so it will look better, instead of making a new one. (If you know what I mean...)
Some things you need to note:
I tend to not finish what I start. Or at least I finish it very slowly.
There is a chance I won't be active at the late of the month or early of the month, due to internet issues.
Although I don't have The Sims 3 and may not keep up with recent updates, I still have general knowledge of it and can keep things tidy.
I lack of confidence.
That's quite a lot of words. I am hoping for all your supports. NikelTalk 15:15, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
