Any other information:

I actually adopted the wiki a few years ago. This isn't about adoption, but this is the only place suitable for my request. When I adopted the Pikmin Wiki, there was a bit of chaos surrounding a community fork, and the departing members wanting to vandalize the Pikmin Wiki. Part of the vandalization included admins deleting important pages. I believe the Wikia Staff were somewhat wary of me being a possible "plant," wanting to gain bureaucrat rights to allow vandals back in. Because of this, I was only granted Admin Rights, and could not appoint other administrators. I had no problem with this, since I was the only regular editor at the time, and had no one to promote even if I wanted to.

It's been nearly two years since then, and I have more than proven my good intent towards the wiki, greatly improving it in my time as head admin there. The thing is, I want to devote more time towards other wikis, mainly the CITY Wiki, a wiki I'm building from scratch (hosted on Wikia). I still monitor new edits on the Pikmin Wiki to make sure no one is vandalizing the place, but my own editing on the Pikmin Wiki is dwindling as I dedicate more "editing time" to the CITY Wiki. This past year, two new editors have showed up. They are extremely dedicated, and have made major contributions to the wiki in their short time here. I'm not planning on "jumping ship" so to speak, but I'm seriously considering appointing them as admins and leaving administration duties to them, so I can more totally focus on my new project. Like I said, I'm not planning on doing this immediately, since I still want to be completely sure of their capabilities, and if I do promote theese editors, I will continue to monitor their progress.

I want to request bureaucrat rights so I can promoted these two editors if they continue their work. If I don't end up promoting either of them for one reason or another, I will continue to actively monitor the Pikmin Wiki, but I'd still like to have the ability to promote users in case a suitable candidate shows up in the future.
