People here indicated that they wanted to have a community discussion for new Admins, but when it comes time for discussion it seems to me that no one sees the need to have them. I know some wikis allow for open nominations in which people nominate others. I didn't decide to take that route here because I knew most of the nominations wouldn't be qualified to take the role of Admin. On the other wiki I Admin on we leave the discussion solely to a group of five (generally the most active and senior users on the wiki). Maybe a combination of these method for the future might work better here. Regardless, how things turn out here is a major influence on how the policy of promoting and demoting users will be written. If people don't wish to participate, it's themselves losing their voice especially considering how active the wiki is. I think it's a shame really.

I'm dedicated to the wikis I edit, especially the ones I Admin for. I might not watch the series right now, but there is still much I can do here. I don't like being the sole Admin and I don't like inactive Admin (or anyone with an extra privilage). I don't see being an Admin the same as a regular editor (I'm not saying Admins should be rulers, just that they should consider higher standards). An everyday editor doesn't need to be active. They come and go, but an Admin has been given a "job" and an ID card (the title). If you don't go to or do your job, why should you keep your ID card? I know I'm getting off topic a little (I guess I showed my hand on demoting).

No problem on the nomination. I think you have the potential to make an Admin the wiki could use to keep certain parts of the place on track.

Sorry for the rant.
