On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? RaidenX, March 9

Any other information: I've been editing at the wiki for awhile now, and I've requested to multiple admins about possibly giving me administrative rights, but I haven't received a response from any of them. I've had lots of experience with the rights, and think I'd be a good fit for them. I also put up a blog about electing users for it, just in case any others would like to receive rights as well. I appreciate it and hope you get back to me soon!

 * As per Tupka, in order to adopt a wiki, no admins could have edited within the past two months. It appears that two admins have edited within the past few days. If you wish to have rights, I suggest contacting Darth Wylind.

 * "But I haven't received a response from any of admins I inquired to" I contacted RaidenX around a month ago and he hasn't responded. No other admins have edited in the last 6 months, and Raiden himself couldn't give me any rights anyways.


 * Irrelevant. 60 days is 60 days. When the 60 says have passed, try again. -- Tupka 217 23:15, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * Tupka, please be careful not to make predictions for the adoption team unless you're 100% certain they're true. 60 days is a guideline, not a rule, and Staff has been known to make exceptions. Randomized may have a chance, though Staff may forego the bureaucrat right and only promote him as administrator. I think it's happened in the past. Let's wait and see how this plays out.

 * Yami, only one admin has edited the wiki recently: c:fanon:User:RaidenX, a non-bureaucrat, edited on March 8. c:fanon:User:Saffy Nurbs, an administrator and bureaucrat, edited April 16 - last year. Thisismyrofl (talk) 00:32, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll concede that it's more "last day of editing plus two months, minus perhaps a week". Nobody really takes the time to count to 60, right? (stupid february). However, the nature of the edits usually doesn't matter. Also, the fact that he hasn't replied doesn't mean you get a shortcut either. The bureaucrat is still sort of active on Wikia, so perhaps messaging him/her does get a better result. -- Tupka 217 00:36, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

An admin who does not respond to their local community is *barely* administrating. Raiden took action in March, but did not reply to the editor to assure them their request was handled, the contributor having little way (there is a way, most users are unaware of it) to tell if their page protection level had been changed as requested. Leaving a contributor feeling unsure they were heard falls a bit short of "community building".

This *often* fits cases such as Rofl mentioned in which Staff determines *additional* admins are required. So this Request may also be so adjudged. Randomized, continue as you are. You've started a Blog and reached out to Darth. Continue editing while waiting for this to be evaluated.

However this shakes out, Good Luck! --Love Robin (talk) 03:46, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
