This is the page for requesting adminship for Kirby Wiki.
Rules
- Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
- After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
- Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing and make this wiki a better place.
- When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should(n't) become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose. Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
- Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
- Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how (s)he would handle it.
- If a user has been blocked for any reason (except for an IP auto-block or wrong button click), (s)he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until (s)he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.
- For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?

Hey all! Having just finished the move pages project, I think I'm finally at a place where I'm ready to request adminship. It's been a long time coming, and some people have asked me why I haven't requested yet, but I've just never really felt ready until now.
I've been around here consistently since '13, and I feel I've grown a lot as an editor since then. I've made a couple handfuls of quality articles and I've helped Nerdy and others out with a bunch of projects, including enforcing standardization and fleshing out and improving incomplete articles. I've also had a hand in updating and adding a lot of the features that have been added to the Wiki since I joined, such as the new article claiming system and the DYK section on the front page. I feel like adminship would help me support this place for a few reasons. First, I tend to be able to come around when no other admins are online. That means I could swiftly take care of vandals if they happen to come during those times. I also am interested in having the ability to update elements of the main page, such as for the 10th Anniversary celebration we're planning later this year. Finally, around times of new game releases, I think I'll be able to further help the rest of you regulate the influx of new users and information with these powers. Being able to delete bad images and pages would be a big help.
Well, that's about it. I hope to be able to stick around here and help out with this community for a nice long while. Thanks everybody! --Paul2
