Hey all, it's time again for admin auditions. For the most part this will run like the last few.

Three times a year we give people a chance to become an admin--though there is no guarantee anyone will. We already have several active admins and aren't really hurting for more, but we still think it's important to not just wait for an emergency before anyone has a chance to become a new admin.

In this first week we simply see who's interested. If you are, simply state so in a reply here. In week two we'll hear from the applicants why they think they'd be a good admin, and anyone can voice their opinion on them (publicly or privately). Sometime in the third week the current admins will announce if there will be any new ones. Really this is a community decision, but when not many people voice opinions it kind of falls to the current admins by default.

New this time is a minor requirement. We ask that you've at least been around 1 month and made 100 edits to articles. In the past we've had people apply the day they joined and then disappear forever, so this seemed like a Good Idea. If you were going to register just for this, still do so--but follow it up with some edits to better make your case next audition.

If you're not sure what sets an admin apart from any other editor, you can read our page about it here. Any other questions: the floor is open.
