Requests for adminship (RfA) is the process by which this wiki's community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional features, most notably the ability to delete pages and to block users. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please become familiar with the Administrators' how-to guide before submitting your request. This process is modeled around Wikipedia's RfA process, and more information can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
Nominating[]
To submit a nomination, please create a section below the "Current nominations for adminship" line listing the nominee's username as a piped link to his/her userpage. Below that, please include a statement about why you are nominating this person and why you think they will be a good admin. The nominee should then accept (or reject) the nomination, and include a statement about why (s)he wants to become an admin, why (s)he thinks (s)he is a good candidate, and what (s)he plans to do with administrator rights. All parties must sign and date their statements.

Please sign and date your statement.
Editorial Note: Adminship is NOT taken lightly. You may actually want to spend some time on your request. A couple sentences is hardly sufficient to show that you won't cause more problems than you solve with admin tools, let alone that you think that there is a good reason why more admins are necessary and that you would be a good candidate for a new admin, that you're willing to put time and effort into this wiki, and that you know how to use admin powers properly and would do so.
Process[]
Users may list questions for the candidate (which it would probaby be good to answer) in the Questions section and/or comment in support of or opposition to the request for adminship in the Discussion section. In the Discussion section, please preceed your post with Oppose, Neutral, or Support (you may modifies those with Strong or Weak.) Please not that this is not a majority vote, it is an attempt to assess the community's consensus regarding the candidate. Moreover, to become an admin, the candidate should have the support of most of the community, so if the vote is split, the candidate will probably not be given adminship. After a reasonable amount of time, a bureacrat (a user who has even more rights than an administrator, and can give other users admin rights) will read through your request, determine the community's consensus about whether you should be made an admin, and close the discussion.

I am a dedicated editor and love Sonic quite a bit. I know a great deal about Archie Sonic and have quite a bit of editing expierience. I have long amounts of free time in which to edit and keep an eye out for vandalism. You can count on me to do to the best of my ability and to keep this wiki in the great shape it is now. Thank you.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I am a dedicated editor and love Sonic quite a bit. I had a bit of editing experience myself. I want to be able to upload images. I got some good images I want to upload.

I spend quite a bit of my spare time around here, editing articles, creating some even. Some of my best contributions (in my opinion anyway) include: creating the comic list for the Worlds Collide crossover, coming up with the idea for splitting characters timelines into two to accommodate for the recent reboot. I've also been working on a few projects of my own, such as making pages about any international printings of the series (which has become a trend recently, with printings in France, Germany and, more recently, here in my native Britain. I'd also generally like the ability to upload images, mainly covers that have yet to be uploaded.

Since there are no commonly active mods and no bureaucrat. I'm interested in taking bureaucrat rights so I can maybe see about tying this wiki in more with its IDW counterpart, editing the main page, checking in every so often to make sure everything is fine etc.
