As you know, activity here's been increasing lately, and will continue to as we get closer to the release of Pikmin 3.  Prez is becoming less active, and I probably will in October when I start university.  So, we need a new admin to help keep up with everything (just one for now; it's not that bad yet).  If you want to apply to become an admin, create a section under "Requests for adminship" here, and say something about how and why you think you could help, why you would make a good sysop.

Before doing this, make sure you know what being a sysop is about.  Take a look at [[Pikmin talk:Community Portal#New Admins for Pikipedia|this]].  A sysop isn't someone who makes the decisions or takes charge, but someone who the community can trust to have the powers of an admin - deleting and protecting pages and editing pages in the mediawiki namespace, viewing restricted special pages, banning users, etc..  They need to act with the community's opinion in mind, not specifically their own.  They need to be active and knowledgable of the important bits of [[Help:Editing]].

Once all the requests and nominations are in, we'll let the community discuss and vote for who to give the promotion to.

I wish to become an admin because I feel I have all the necessary skills to be one; plus I am on Wikia every day, mostly here and [http://pikminfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Pikcanon-NOT this wiki]. I also I am good with people who add speculation into a canon article/make an article that is speculation or fanon, I do not have a short temper, change wrong info added by users, and always try to welcome the new users.

I believe I am fit as I am one of the oldest members still around, and I have experience (See [http://www.kirby.wikia.com Kirby Wiki]/[http://www.nitrome.wikia.com Nitrome Wiki]) errr... yeh. Actually prolly, not a good idea considering I'd probably ban everyone who speculated... >.>... Alright I nominate JJ! EDIT:With JJ gone I find myself new most-qualified-to-be-admin! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG6QfMqCTa8 HeeHee]  Oh... btw, I don't think Rpwyb should be a Admin sence he was inactive for quite a while (And doesn't capatilize, or spell real good, or has awesomes grammers skill like mes) {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
I believe I am fit as I am one of the oldest members still around, and I have experience (See Kirby Wiki/Nitrome Wiki/Castle Crashers Wiki). I also have more edits than any other sysop in the history Pikipedia (Except for Prez and Green). {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
 
I have experience in wikis and I am very active here in Pikipedia. I am still young here, but I have some important contributions to the wiki and community. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:Moved that down here, CL, since you're saying you shouldn't be an admin...  Unless you're really serious about it, Iunno.  And yeah, if JJ were still active, I don't think there'd be any doubt about him making the best admin.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:Wait we're voting? Sh*t I've alread lost then >.>. I checked Banjo Kazooie Wiki today and he's been inactive there for a while too. Someone should leave him a message, which will send him an e-mail which he may check... or his comp could be broken like mine was, when did he end editing? {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
I don't care who becomes an admin, as long as it is someone who won't go crazy with power! I'll probably nominate myself next time.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}} 23:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:Errr... Vote Crys! I promise I won't go power-mad! See the above links in my nomination speechy thingy. Wait, we ''are'' voting right? {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
I don't really know if we are voting, but if we are just read my first comment.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}} 23:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:Ok {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
::'Kay, I made it so the different parts of your comment are in the right places...  And no, don't vote yet, since everyone hasn't entered yet.  Snakeboss, for one, is off on holiday still.  And JJ left just after the Blue Ninjakoopa thing.  Not sure if that had anything to do with it.  Though I recall there was a period previously where he was gone for quite a while, so...Iunno.  It's weird he hasn't made a single edit since vanishing.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
:::He hasn't edited once in four months... Why does everyone's speech but mine mention a lack of a short temper? {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}
Green, are you going to set up a voting date?--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}} 02:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
