'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? 121 as of 7/9/12.'''

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? 57 days'''

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

-S- made an edit today.

'''Any other information: -S- is the only active admin on the wiki. All the others haven't been active for months, with some since last year. There's also only one listed bureaucrat, but they haven't been on since October 2011. With no active bureaucrats, no admins can be appointed, and the wiki seems understaffed.'''

'''Edit: Just to clarify, if I do not qualify to be a bureaucrat on the wiki, can you make -S- a bureaucrat? Because as it is there's no active bureacrats and since he's the only active admin, it seems reasonable to enable him to be one. We've messaged about it back and forth on his Talk page and he would accept the responsibility of becoming one.'''


 * non-staff reply: the b'crat "Elpeppo87" last logged on today, and last edited in oct 11, and 4 sysop have logged on in the last week.--Sxerks 18:00, July 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Where do you see that? And specifically for this wiki or does it count for other wikis as well? I know at least a few of the admins are contributors in other wikis. I'm pretty sure Elpeppo87 hasn't been on the Deus Ex Wiki within at least a few days, I posted an admin request application a few days ago and posted a link to it on his Talk page and he hasn't responded. -- ResistanZ 04:11, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * on the Special:ListUsers sorted by "groups" and changed to 25 items, on that wiki. I think there are too many editors and admins available to adopt it.--Sxerks 02:35, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Deus_Ex_Wiki:Administrators There's only 1 available bureaucrat, the rest have inactive status. -S- seems to be the only active admin. I don't see what you're talking about on the SpecialUsers page where it shows when they last logged in. And like I said before I left a message on Elpeppo87's Talk page requesting adminship and they haven't responded. I mention this in my application that until I brought it up to -S-'s attention, there had been a couple articles sitting in the "Nominated for deletion" category for months, so it doesn't seem likely that their logon date is an accurate indicator of their activity level on the Deus Ex Wiki. I still don't see where it shows you the date they last logged on. :\ -- ResistanZ 04:11, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I see what you're talking about now. But some clarification is still needed whether this "this logged on" counts only for the specific wiki or it counts across all of Wikia, since they are contributors in other wikis as well. -- ResistanZ 04:14, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * "logged on" means across all wikia, meaning that if you can leave them a message on their talk page and they will actually see it. The "last edited" is per wiki.--Sxerks 15:21, July 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Right, then it shouldn't matter whether they are active in Wikia as a whole, but for the specific community which I am applying to adopt. But either way I left another message on Elpeppo87's Talk page and hopefully they'll see it this time if they missed it last time. -- ResistanZ 17:19, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
