RfA Blurb

I originally inquired about getting rollback permission to help out with vandalism here, but a user suggested that I nominate myself for adminship instead, so here it is. I'm an admin on the Harry Potter Wiki, Family Guy Wiki, and very active on the English Wikipedia (see my user page for links). I think I could be a valuable admin because of my familiarity with the tools and policy and my dedication to the project. Thanks, John Reaves (talk) 19:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't see any reason that you really need adminship here. You've only reverted vandalism on one main namespace page on this wiki. Adminship is just a tool to help users do what they're already doing as normal users - it isn't a reward, a status symbol, or something to chase after on every wiki.

That's fine. I wasn't seeking it out or anything. Like I said, I was originally going to ask about getting a rollback button so I could help out when warranted and another user suggest I try for adminship, so I did. It's not really that big of a deal. John Reaves (talk) 22:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Ooops, I meant to do this yesterday. I suppose I withdraw. John Reaves (talk) 18:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

1. Against: Nothing personal, but this Wikia already has plenty of admins (apart from an extensive staff), and if there were any need for another sysop, it should be someone more prolific on this wikia. I see you have less than 100 edits here, and most of which are posts on talk pages, not vandalism reverts ― which is what real counts here. You claim "familiarity with the tools and policy and dedication to the project", but many people fall under that category. Moreover, I don't think the vandalism here is so off the chart that we need to nominate one admin each month. ― Thailog 22:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
