Administrators
An administrator has special responsibilities to watch over the wiki. In order to make it easier to fulfill those responsibilities, and admin can block user IDs or IP edits, protect pages and revert pages more easily.

Nominations:
 * User:Dark Lord Xander, Nominating Myself ,I'm always around working on articles, Like helping new users and hate vandals. Dark Lord Xander 02:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Opposed. I know you're frequently present and a tireless contributor.  I also think that your residency in Australia makes you a strong candidate because you would logically be online at a time other admins might not.  But your grasp of English grammar and punctuation is extremely problematic.  A quick glance at your user page — or even the sentence you typed above — is proof enough of that.  A lot of times,  I don't understand the points you're trying to make.


 * I'm also not convinced that you have a sound grasp of the original series, nor — because you say you don't own even one original series episode — can you seriously conduct research on it. It worries me that you don't, therefore, seem to have the tools to knowledgeably balance your appreciation of spin-off material against televised material.  Moreover, a lot of the pages you have created have been extremely sketchy, such as Grant Morrison and The Infinity Season.  The bulk of what you create for the site are simple placeholders; you tend to leave the hard work of synopses, references and general linkages to others.


 * Your lone in-universe article, Dalek Flying Saucer, is problematic from its very name. You seem to accept that "Dalek Flying Saucer" is what the thing should be called, without ever mentioning that its actual Dalek (that is, in-universe) name has never been given.


 * I should point out as well that a review of your edit count reveals overwhelming contributions to the mainspace, with no work on templates on any site, and only one category edit on this site.  This reveals either a lack of interest or knowledge about building the backbone of wikis.  Moreover your edits to talk pages are disturbingly low, meaning you're not that committed to inviting discussion and achieving consensus.


 * I just don't see that your basic editing work warrants giving you additional oversight powers at this time.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  03:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, I just thought I'd give it a try and most of what you say is right, my grammer is a bit on the off side and no i don't own any official dvds of the original series but i do have 20 or so taped off the ABC. (It's just i don't consider owning them as i haven't yet bought them.) As for talk pages i have only been a logged in member for around a month or so and if you look at all wiki's you see that i do use them finally as for templates i am interested and have made a few in my time see and like i have said before i have only been here for a short time and haven't seen the need for any new templates in the areas i have been working.
