Any other information: I would like to have bureaucratic and administration rights to the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Wiki. Last month I contributed to the wiki for about a week. But so far, I have gotten no response. Will you grant me those rights?


 * I'm really sorry, but it doesn't appear that much has changed since your previous requests. Crucially, you've made no effort to reach out to your fellow editors to seek their permission to adopt the wiki. It's a vital part of our guidelines that you involve yourself in the community.


 * I'm also more than a little concerned by the fact that you've filed four requests for this wiki but have never successfully identified an admin of the wiki.


 * One thing this could reasonably suggest is that you don't think the community is very important. But it really is, and it's a key part of the adoption process. In order to lead the community, it's vital you be able to identify whom the players are. (DarthKenny, whom you've identified on this application, is just a one-edit user from back in December.)


 * Another thing it could suggest is that you just have a bit too much on your plate. You currently run a ton of other wikis, so this one might be a "wiki too far".


 * Given your wiki load, it's both okay and understandable that maybe you don't want to put in a full effort here.


 * So I'd suggest you really ask yourself whether you can fully take on another wiki. And if you really do want to take on this one, spend a few weeks actually talking to your fellow editors at Buck Rogers. If you can show that your outreach results in some kind of increased editing on the part of other editors (in the main namespace), you'll be a long way to demonstrating your ability to lead this particular community.
