What is your username? RobertATfm

Please link to the wiki here: w:c:worldofcarsdrivein

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 119

How many days/months have you been editing there? Since July 6 2012

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Madbomberfan, June 8, 2012

Any other information: There are numerous problems with this wiki, most notably that the Candidates For Deletion category never gets emptied. There is only one admin (who last edited nearly four months ago) and no bureaucrats; I have no idea how Madbomberfan lost his bureaucrat status.

A week ago, I started a discussion asking whether I, or for that matter someone else, should be allowed to adopt this wiki. There has been one vote in my favour, and no other votes, so since the week is up, I am thus requesting bureaucrat powers on this wiki. -- RobertATfm (talk) 22:41, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

I too would like to ask to be an admin. Lately I've been helping RobertATfm clear the wiki of false info and categories. Like said, there are no admins there, snd I would like to help out.

 * Could someone please expedite this request? We now have a vandal (at least, I for one regard him as such) who's demanding that no other editor touch "his" pages, and who has even created a "NoDelete" category (an act of breathtaking arrogance, and totally against the wiki spirit, to my mind). We need to have at least one of us made an admin soon, so that we can deal with this filth. -- RobertATfm (talk) 14:59, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * And at the same time, could we have the wiki put on semiprotected status? Most of the vandalsim is from anonymous editors, and some of it is apparently from a formerly-named editor who's tryng to evade a possible block for reverting our vandalism reverts by doing so anonymously. —  RobertATfm (talk) 22:31, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
