Smashpedia:Requests for adminship/Defiant Elements

=== Defiant Elements (talk &bull; contribs &bull; edit count &bull; RFA page) ===

Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.

I've been reluctant to run for adminship in the past because it's always seemed as though SmashWiki has had a sufficient number of sysops. However, lately, it has seemed as though it wouldn't hurt to have an additional sysop or two; thus, this RFA. (And besides, the irony of my becoming a sysop considering the first slew of edits I made to SmashWiki is just too good to pass up.)

I always hate writing candidate statements for RfAs because, as I've said on more RfAs than I can count, there are only a very few people who can honestly claim that they "need" the sysop tools. I will note, however, that I've been editing wikis, beginning with GuildWiki since October '06, and that I was a bureaucrat and founding member of PvXwiki and a sysop on the Guild Wars Wiki. I'm not the most active user around here, but I am on pretty much every day, and though my edit count isn't terrifically high, quality over quantity and all that jazz. With those two things said, I'll limit my self-aggrandizement to simply saying that I believe I'd make a strong addition to the administrative team (my contributions should, hopefully, bear that out) and let you all be the judges. If y'all have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer 'em on the talk page.

Cheers. – Defiant Elements   +talk  02:36, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
