| − | *I feel a new diplomacy needs to be exercised in the way admins and users interact. NO, I will not tolerate vandalism, but ''The Simpsons''<nowiki>'</nowiki> declining quality ''can't'' be the reason why almost close to no one is coming to the wiki of the most popular cartoon in history. Why is it that Wookieepedia, Memory Alpha, Lostpedia, and other popular wikis have tens of regular users when we are just as, if not more, popular than them? And they don't need achievements to attract users. Something needs to be addressed, or done, to solve this problem.<br />If I need to prove that I will take the position seriously, I think I have proven this. I have never once vandalized myself and I have reverted vandalism. I have created about 50 articles (most of them locations) since joining in May. I have become leader of Project Locations, creating a MoS for said. No, I didn't change all the Behind the Laughters myself, but I did come up with the idea. I don't need administer-ship as a badge of honor or status symbol--I've already gained a respectable reputation and accomplished a lot for to say I am ''not'' an admin. I don't make edits just to earn achievements, like most users. Don't get me wrong: I like the idea, because its attracting new editors, but not that well. How do I know this? 608 people have joined Wikisimpsons since achievements have been enabled (according to the '''Welcome to Wikisimpsons''' badge). Where are all those editors today? We've seem to forgotten that the primary function of a wiki is for people to come to ''read''. Yes, the editors are having fun, as they should, but so should the readers. When our articles are sloppy (appearance and prose-wise), we treat non-can info as canon, we ''inflate'' articles (does Cecil Terwilliger's article need to be that big? I believe in detailed articles but an article that size gives a false sense of importance to Cecil, who is a minor character who has appeared in only 2 episodes.), and a host of other things that I brought up on the main talk page, why would anyone come here? Wookieepedia is popular because they take themselves, and their subject, seriously, and readers know they can come there for reliable info. I ask you, are we as reliable? As organized? As aesthetically-pleasing? These are the issues I want to address, but as I said earlier, the main reason why I want admin-ship at the moment is to help with location articles.[[User:TheUnderfaker|Underfaker]] 04:30, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

| − | I don't feel so good at nominating myself. But, [[User:Brian McClure|Brian McClure]] suggested me to try again. To answer Brian's questions above, I think (but I'm not sure) my greatest contributions to the wiki so far would be improving game level articles, improving "not-so-pretty-looking" articles and fixing templates with some errors (like the season templates). I think I would make a good administrator because I'd edit more than usual, help new users and delete vandalism when I see it. How would being an admin help me with my daily editing? Well, I sometimes have some "ideas" to do with some articles, but I sometimes fear someone reverts it if he doesn't like it. That's why I always consult. As an administrator, I would have more "confidence" and go on with my ideas. And, no, I don't have any other administrator experiences. The nearest would be being Rollback here. Besides, Solar said he would be less active, so I would work when he's not here. {{User:TheHomer/sig}} 20:55, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
