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]/[http://www.castlecrashers.wikia.com 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}}
