Christophee
Hello guys. This may come as a surprise to the people who have been around here for a while, as I stepped down from my administrator role less than a year ago, but I have recently been coming to the wiki more and more often and I feel I could help out a lot more if I was to have my old powers back.

I hope it's quite clear to everyone that I love this wiki and want it to be as successful as possible, and that there is no way that I would ever want to abuse the admin powers as I don't believe I ever did during my previous two years as an administrator.

The main reason I would like to be an administrator again is that I often see pages and files that need to be deleted, but I do not have the power to delete them myself. I mark most of them for deletion but they are not usually noticed by the current administrators, so I would like to able to remove them myself. I also promise that I will continue to visit the wiki regularly and use the admin powers in whatever way they need to be used.

I hope that's enough. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Christophee (talk) 13:38, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong Support - None of us would be here without you, and I can't see you doing anything stupid with admin power.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  20:14, February 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong Support - You've already proven yourself, and I'm glad to have you back. I absolutely support you.  R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 20:32, February 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong support - You were a fantastic admin before, and it would absolutely benefit the wiki for you to have your powers back.  ManU Crazy   (talk)  00:47, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * You have excellent reasons and have indeed proven yourself in the administrator position. Whilst I am always cautious about having too many admins, I can't see that there is any reason why giving a trusted user the ability to delete pages. Since you show the initiative to do the gruelsome jobs, I can see huge benefits to myself and the rest of the admins to have you in the position. However, I want to make it clear that I've stepped right back from my admin powers, retaining them for the same reason that you want them back, and I wish to continue my position as bureaucrat and freelance editor. If I promote you, I would really appreciate seeing you deal with the badges and awards system, which has been neglected since I stopped handing them out. I think it is reasonable enough to see what warrants an award and what warrants a badge, and I think our editing would highly improve if the incentives returned. If this meant you had to pass the Featured Content onto someone else, that would be more than reasonable, and if I am confident that this task will be undertaken satisfactorily, I will not regret my Strong Support.

 * I guess I'm allowed to respond to that. I would be more than happy to take an active role in giving out badges and awards, but somebody may have to brief me on exactly what warrants a badge as I gave them out much too freely before. The awards shouldn't be a problem as they are much clearer. I would also see no problem in continuing to be in charge of the featured content, as it only needs to be updated once a month. Thank you all very much for your support. Christophee (talk) 02:02, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
