Omega natsu2
"I am requesting administrative rights due to the lack of active admins that the Fairy Tail wiki currently has. IamJakuhoRaikoben & Rauleli come online only for a few hours, sometimes only a few minutes, due to their school work and personal concerns. ChaosKnight has recently become inactive, no known reasons as far as I'm aware of. Ishthak only comes on Fridays when the new episodes air and when she has the time (Note: This is not all 100% accurate, just basing it off on my own observation over the past weeks.) Garyness is active once in a while. Another reason why I believe that I should have temporary admins rights is because out of all the current P.S. members, I am the most active one. I've had admin powers in this wiki before, and I also am an admin in other wikis. So I will know how to manage the power very well and not over use it (Or papa will punish me, he said >_>). I can also communicate with users that need help and, if need be, can do admin only jobs, like blocking or deleting pages/pictures that violate the policy. Please consider my entreaty, as I am only thinking of the good of the wiki... :)."

"Long >.< Long >.< Beware!! Hi everyone *sighs* You all know me :) I'm Carrot... or Yummy... or Carry... or whatever else you people call me XD Now, I've never had to do something like this before, so I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but that fact alone is one of the personal reasons I'm applying. In terms of things like this, I usually sit back and let everyone else through without expressing my own wants and needs. It's a passiveness that has gotten me nowhere around here, always waiting for others to come to me, so this time around screw formality, screw the presumptuousness I feel when doing things like this and screw the fact that I hate competitions of this sort. The truth is that I would love to be an administrator here... and I have for a long time. Out of all of the current P&S Councillors, I have actually been here the third longest amount of time (after Al and Herme) and only by a few months. Many of you may not know this, but I actually watched as many of the Councillors above me arrived at the Wiki and earned their seats. I wasn't just some late-comer who got the fifth seat after applying, I've been on this Wiki for quite a long time, and I believe I am one of the users who truly understands the Fairy Tail Wiki and the people who work here. I am well read on our Policies and have never been warned about the Image Policy, have rarely had my edits undone and have never had to been talked to over an issue regarding the Policies. This is because I read and make sure I understand something before I do it. I am not a compulsive editor, but someone who watches and learns.

In terms of editing, people look at me and see somebody with a low edit count. I would argue against this "lack of edits" until the day I die, because I hold my head high believing that I am one of the only users on this Wiki who truly does not care about the appearance of their edit count, and doesn't edit according to it. Whilst other people I know with massive edit counts move a punctuation mark on every spell page that earns them over 100 edits in an hour, I edit full pages and do major work. These jobs often take me hours on end (the longest being the Grand Magic Games arc page [ see here ], which took me around six hours) the result being a meagre 1 edit added to my total count. When others edit every single conversation on the image gallery page to vote, I do all of mine in one, as I don't see the point in splitting them up. I truly believe that if I edited the way others here edit, I could have at least double the edit count I have now... if not, triple.

On the Wiki, I am a member of many guilds and teams, leading (a demanding job) in some cases, and as such my contributions are different and cover a wide range of areas. In my own personal opinion, my English is of a very high standard, and I can summarise, expand, perform text reduction, get solid images, code to an extent (my weakest area, but still one that I am not bad in), reword, perform grammar checks and many other things for whatever is necessary. If it helps to back this up, I have been awarded Mage of the Month many times over, possibly the most of any user on this Wiki.

As a member of the Fairy Tail Wiki community, I believe I am kind and considerate to every user. I'm open and friendly; willing to help on any occasion and always giving up my time to help other people. I am fun to talk to and contribute to the social side of the Wiki (blogs, chat and even edit summary conversations) all the time. This being said, I am mature, and I know the difference between work and fun. I am fair and try to never make a decision before knowing all the facts. I believe judging people before you know them is a terrible crime, one I try hard not to commit.

I have had experience in an administration job for quite some time, as I admin the Fairy Tail Answers Wiki, one of my greater achievements that often goes unknown. Over there I have close to 4,000 edits, almost quadruple what the next highest edit count is. Each edit is earned through the answering of one question, and does not include the hundreds upon hundreds of questions I have had to delete, which earns me nothing. As such, trust me when I say tedious jobs are no problem. I have sat through over 200 question deletions at one time when I've been away for too long.

Finally (and though I hate to bring this up as a point, I don't think it can be ignored) I have a completely different time zone to all of the current admins on the site. I do what I call "the night watch", due to the fact that I am often on the Wiki watching for vandalism when it is night time for me and none of the admins are online. Having someone like me as an admin would fill this gap in the current administration, and would also bring in another chat mod for this time, something I know a lot of people have been concerned about, as poor Prime can't always be on at every hour at this time of day.

I could continue about my love for this community and my willingness to give my all, but I try to give 100% at all times, not just for a position like this. I hope you people have seen this and know the things I am capable of.

Living up to my reputation, this has been a pretty long rant, though I hope it has highlighted some things about me that will help you decide who is correct for this position. I'm sorry if I sound presumptuous or anything of the sort, but many people have been asking me lately if they should apply for a chat mod or P&S Councillor, and I always say "Well, if you don't ask the answer is always no." I decided it was time to actually follow my own advice.

Good luck to any one else going for this position. I would usually hate to try and go up against somebody and would sit back and say nothing, but hopefully the fact that I am here demonstrates just how much I would love this position, and how much I love you guys :)

My love, always,"
