Happy-melon
What the hell, can't hurt to ask :D. I'm Happy-melon, I'm an admin at en.wiki, somewhat active here, active at Bugzilla, and I have the odd SVN credit, although I don't have commit access. I'm keen to make progress on the largely-stalled process of transfering help content from meta and en.wiki over here. I'm also a competent template coder and I can see a lot of scope for improving the appearance and professionalism of this site, using parserfunctions on system messages, etc. A lot of the outstanding issues are simply because this site is quite quiet, so I like to think that an extra pair of hands won't go amiss...

 * Sorry, but I'm going to have to oppose this request. The majority of your reasons for wanting adminship don't require adminship to perform. You can open up a new request for the "transwiki" group if you want to help import pages from meta, and the vast majority of our templates are not fully-protected, which means editing them and making new ones does not require sysop access either. As for the parserfunctions-on-system-messages bit, I'm currently unaware of any messages (besides maybe the copyright notice) that could benefit from them. For your "extra pair of hands," you might like checking out the sysop listing to see the massive amount of sysops we already have for such a quiet site, so everything that needs to be covered pretty much is covered. Finally, your contributions here do not contain anything of merit. While it's awesome that you're an enwiki admin and an active contributor on bugzilla, neither enwiki nor bugzilla are this wiki, and adminship is a relatively local process. -- Skiz zerz  00:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
