Mini-mitch
I have opted to go along the same line as Solar Dragon here, as I agree it is more clean than before, and easier to read.

Rightly then. I feel I have been around for a fair amount of time, now and have a reasonable amount of edit made so far, and still counting. I feel I have mad e effective contribution to this, such as: Raising the point over the Discontinuity, plot hole and errors section, and help with the shift into Production Errors and also helped to removed quotes after the Manual of Style was changed. I also created the Layout for individuals page, with help from Tangerineduel, as he went through and improve it.

To help edit this wiki, I occasionally check the special pages page and added categories to uncategorised pages and categories, and I have created navigation template for characters/species which I feel need one. Some of these include: Christmas Specials, Time Lord Episodes and Auton Stories

I also keep an eye of unregistered contributors, and view what they edit and put on, even if that means I have to deal with abusive message on my talk and user page. I also do have a history of edits, where I need to be told its wrong/not the right thing to do - however I check the Manual of Style and correct, and accept my mistakes. I usually also consult the manual of style if I feel a user have made a edit which I feel is against the manual of style, and when the User is wrong, I normally information the use on their talk page.

Also, I have my views seen many times in the forums. I try my best to come up with the best solutions, and once a agreement has been reached, I am always willing to take a role in rolling out the new ideas into this wiki (such as the quotes).

The pages which I am proud of are: my heavy edits to the Series 3 (Torchwood) page, before it was released. On this page I turned it into a proper episode pages, and sorted out all the headings and put the correct information under them. I am partially proud of turning the Series 5 (Doctor Who) page into a proper series page where as before it had only the cast and rumours. I turned it from that into a proper series pages, and thinned out the rumours and adding the correct headings, and it has since then grown to what it is now. Thirdly, I am proud of the pages where I have been involved with the removing of the discontinuity and the adding of production errors, which I myself brought up the subject again. I am also proud of the Tardis:Guide to writing Individuals articles page, which I created, and even with your heavy edits to it, I feel that some on my work I did while creating it is still there, and I feel that by creating that, I helped with making this wiki even better. Lastly, I am proud of the navigation templates I have created, especially the Time Lord stories, Torchwood Novels and Audio and Christmas specials

The pages which I feel show my creative skills are: Many of the actor pages I have created and also my edits to pages that have the wrong layout. Many of these are the audio adventures, and I have recognised this and changed them to how they should be laid out, and put the information under the correct headings on when they are not. Many audio adventures have wrong or incorrect headings on them, and I have gone though some some them and changed them to how the manual of style says they should be laid out. I am also proud of my early edits to the 2009 Specials (Doctor Who) page, it was here I spend most of my early edits, as I joined this wiki just prior to Planet of the Dead aired, i know I have had some daft edits with them, but now fell I am a more experienced user.

I usually use edit summaries, especially when I feel a point is need to get across to either certain users or the wiki in general. I also use the talk page on different articles, usually when I put something up for deletion, which normally explain my views and points for why I think the page should be deleted. I also have voice on the talk page, putting my views across whether it be under a point someone has raised on the talk page, the page being moved, or an argument for or against deletions.

I feel that I have a good deal of knowledge of the Doctor Who Universe as well. I have watched Doctor Who since the revived series, and have seen all the episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood, and always searched for the lasted news of the official sites. I also have a vast section of classic series of Doctor Who on DVD, and I always keep up to date with the latests audio adventures and the novels so I have full awareness of what is happening in the Doctor Who Universe.

My grammar edit are usually very good. Under my 'To Do List' on my user page, one of the things I am working on is fixing any grammar and spelling edits. And also I have looked and understood many of the policies on the wiki, spending time learning what each policy is and understanding them. I have always looked through and read each copyright tag for images, and always put the correct one on any images I have uploaded.

Lastly, I feel I offer advice and also help other user when they need it or do something wrong. I feel I explain what I mean to them clearly, and help them to have a better contribution to this wiki, instead of doing stuff wrong, I would explain what they are doing wrong and why - this included explaining to users if they have vandalised pages, and sometimes got abused back from it, to which I have responded by having to explain stuff to them again.

I feel that if I do become an admin, I will be able to contribute much more effectively to this wiki, and also be able to improve this wiki, and provide all the help I can to other Users. Mini-mitch 18:32, June 17. 2010 (UTC)

Support

 * Mini-mitch is a great user who regularly edits, reverts vandalism, helps towards developing policies and enforcing them. When I first started here I initially thought that he was an Admin with the number of edits he has and the quality of them. I'd support his promotion to admin. --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:45, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Just moving my request from talk pages to this page for ease.

Ive been thinking recently about how work ive been putting into the wikia and have been wondering whether I could be considered in beccoming an admin. I'm certainly dedicated to the wikia and put lots of time into it and i'm willing to put alot more work into the wikia if I was an admin. Would you consider me to become an admin? --Revan\Talk 13:36, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

I think of all my creations the War King article is one of my proudest achievements (and expensive Perfect Timing 2 set me back quite a bit). Although not my creation, i have placed vast amounts of information into the Eighth Doctor article and have now almost read and listened to all of his stories to try and fill the gaps that existed in the page. I have also added to some of the less... popular or open spin offs such as Iris Wildthyme and Faction Paradox and also the Short Trips stories, which used to be basic skeleton articles before I got my head down and added to them. The End, Osskah and Museum Peace are some of the best examples of this.

On my understanding of Doctor Who i can only detail what i have read, listened to etc. Theres probably more to list but i'd rather not list them all.
 * All 8th Doctor comics and audios
 * 30+ EDA books
 * First Frontier and the Dying Days from the NA's and The Dark Path from MA's
 * Around 10 PDA's
 * All 5th Doctor comics
 * Listened to all Faction Paradox audios and read most of the Book of the War (a killer that one)
 * Up to Death and the Daleks in BFBS series and they are next on my list for listening
 * Most of the monthly BFA releases
 * Most classic Who, listened to soundtracks of most missing episodes
 * And of course all new Who, Torchwood and Sarah Jane TV episodes

I think it is up to you to determine how trustworthy i am but as you know i revert vandalism often and try to prevent vandals from doing further damage with formal warnings of procedure. My interaction with other users is fair and i account for other user's views of things and not just my own.

If there is anything else that i may have missed please let me know and i will try to answer for you. --Revan\Talk 15:45, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

It is because at the moment i have been editing on topics that are very popular on the wikia and there is usually a large number of editors trying to get their say at the same time. This means that by the time I have got something down there is an edit conflict which means i have to type up again, hence the rushed typing and errors. --Revan\Talk 15:40, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
