 * Strawberry Cupcake Kitten- Today
 * Lehall - March 12, 2012

Any other information:
 * Lehall is the owner of the Monster High wiki and many months ago made SCK admin to help her manage the wiki when she knew she was having a hard time getting online herself. I requested adminship about two months later because she turned out to be even less online than expected and only one admin wasn't working. She said she'd consider, but completely disappeared shortly after and hasn't responded to mails for half a year.
 * SCK is a great admin, but he's only one and both less active and less wiki-coding knowledgeable than I am. Also, I am on pretty much when he's not, so our schedules could complement each other. The thing is that the wiki currently suffers from vandalism that simply isn't always caught, we've got spoiler/leak problems that have already once before gotten Mattel to take action against the wiki, and long overdue maintenance. One admin simply is not enough, and may be even less ideal soon when SCK can be online even less.
 * My request for adminship only aims to fill a void and I'm happy to relinquish the status again when/if Lehall returns and has other wishes for the situation. I've spoken with SCK and he approves of my request. I'm currently the most active editor by far, good for at least a third of all content, and I think I could do a good (interim) job.

 * EDIT: For clarification, I am not asking to gain ownership of the MH wiki, only to be made admin along the current one to get the place back on track. Parrotbeak (talk) 05:36, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * EDIT: I've started a blog for community permission here. Parrotbeak (talk) 06:13, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks good. You have support. You're edits look good. I've gone ahead and promoted you to admin. If, in the future, you feel the need for an active bureaucrat, please fill out a new request. It would be helpful if was already a community discussion in place before hand. :) Good luck with the wiki! Rappy 17:23, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
