Greetings Ninja,

While I don't ever believe there's such thing as over-saturation of editors and administrators on the wiki (at one point we had 300 pages and 5 active admins) - I would feel best not giving out the position lightly.

When I was the sole regular of the wiki, I adopted it at 400 edits. I know Smokey McPott, Komodo Saurian, and Teddy Picker each earned their own by carrying roughly 800 edits and being active participants in community conversation. Thus, you can see how odd it would be to give out a very powerful and privileged position off simply someone's supposed skills that may or may not be as useful or as well honed as they would have us believe. That's going without saying, that doing this would open ourselves up to some nasty vandalism.

On top of this I have to say that I know our current administrators quite well, as both people and "co-workers" though community and special admin conversation. I proudly recognize Chris34 as reliable and trustworthy, Komodo - though surly at times - as intelligent and amazingly capable, and Teddy Picker as funny and friendly.

At the same time though, it is quite a bold and honorable thing to volunteer yourself for adminship to a wiki, and I respect that. If you are serious about adminship I would recommend you keep at it and stay in touch.
