Any other information: Hello. To whomever may be reading this, I hope you're doing well. Let me first clarify that this is not exactly an adoption request. I am merely requesting sysop admin rights. This will all make more sense when I explain our wiki's situation, and I will try to be brief, as to not take too much of your time! The founder of the wiki barely touched our wiki and left around 2007. Eventually, the wiki had someone officially adopt it and become bureaucrat; however, he left as well, around 2010. Before leaving, he made Mayu Miyuki a sysop admin. Since then, she has solely monitored the wiki. When I began editing the wiki in May 2011, I quickly learned from Mayu and eventually assisted her in monitoring the Recent Changes of the wiki. I have spent countless hours editing the wiki, be it through fixing other users' edits, organizing pages/creating templates, or making contributions of my own (I have made several pages on the wiki). As you can see, I have been editing ever since, and I now have 5,210 edits at the time of my writing this request.

Allow me to get to the point now! Haha. A few months ago, we had a bout of vandalism, in which a user repeatedly deleted article content over and over again. Mayu is only able to be active during a select part of the day, since she does not live in the United States anymore. I stayed up for hours that night, undoing each of this user's edits. I posted for someone to help on some official wiki forum, but the request was not able to be read that particular night. Mayu eventually logged on and banned the user. This issue is just one of the reasons why I am making this request. Our wiki has one admin (a sysop), and she is not able to be on that often. Recently, she posted on her user talk page, stating that she has considered resigning, since she no longer contributes to the wiki. Her last actual contribution was roughly a year ago. She mostly monitors for spam and vandalism, although I am typically able to rectify the issue before she takes action, as I check the wiki several times daily.

Sorry for making this longer than you would probably like to have read, but I just want to make my request clear. I would like to become a sysop admin for the wiki to assist Mayu in monitoring bouts of spam and vandalism, as well as ease her mind with the responsibility she feels she must take to maintain the wiki. Apart from Mayu, I have edited our wiki the most. If you need confirmation of my abilities, you are free to look into my recent edit history, as well as ask Mayu herself. She does not hold the power to make me a sysop admin, or I'm sure she would have done so already. Sorry if this request was made in the wrong place! I couldn't find a more appropriate place. Thank you for reading my request, and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice day.

You've well made over the requirements for adopting a wiki, so I hope staff will approve! (However, you should probably get the other active users on that wiki's approval) :)

I have several who can vouch for me, if needed. Thank you for the support. =) Note: Forgot to sign above, sorry! I wasn't aware how the whole request thing worked.
