Hey - I saw your edit summary saying: ''"is it just me or is there nothing to edit anymore???"'' Although we aren't missing any huge chunks of content, there are still a lot of [[Tasks]] to do on this wiki. In particular, going through [[:Category:Cleanup]] and fixing all the crappy/broken pages around the site. Are you up for helping with that?

:Good question. We don't have any specific statistical requirements (such as X posts or X length of time). However, we require all admins to have a good working knowledge of this wiki. That means understanding things like how content is organised, how content is presented, how wikitext/code works, how complex templates work, and how the wiki is operated (staff etc). Involvement in discussions and community projects will prove this, whereas someone that just edits pages would find it harder to prove their understanding and usefulness. Also, the job of an admin is different to that of an editor - so getting involved in discussions and disputes lets us see how you handle disagreements and difficult situations, which is vital if we wanted to make someone staff. Looking briefly at [[Special:Editcount/Gtajesus|your edit count]], you don't have many edits outside of the main content and files areas, and not many edits to talk pages, so it would be difficult for you to say you had a good knowledge of the inner workings of the wiki at this stage. If you got involved in more things, proved your expertise, proved your usefulness, and gave us evidence that you'd be a good admin (not just a good editor), then that's when a promotion would be suitable. I hope that helps! [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 00:11, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
