User blog comment:Gideoncrawle/ADMIN BLOG POST: Should SpaceWeather be promoted?/@comment-1264520-20140113043134

I think Space would make a great admin. Let that be known now and at the beginning as the rest of my opinion gets expressed.

I don't think there would be anything wrong with promoting Space, but it seems as if (according to this blog and from how I read it) he would get promoted to help Gideon around the wiki when there are admins already in their positions that can and should be helping out more than what's being done. I don't think it's right, personally, to promote someone on those grounds. Please correct me if I analyzed the blog incorrectly--that's what I got out of it. As stated in the blog, I also personally believe that we have enough admins that are already on staff that could do what Gideon is asking. Honestly. Many of the admins, including myself, are around more than it lets on in this blog. No, not every hour on the hour, but more than what some people are under the assumption of.

Whether or not this happens, I really can't control by myself...... but before any election takes place, I would like it if all the admins of this wiki (or as many as possible) could get together and communicate about what is needed for this place so 1) it wouldn't seem as if Gideon was doing everything and 2) we wouldn't have the desire to promote another person to do what 9 other people are capable of doing.

As one of the admins of this wiki, I feel immensely distant from the other 8. I don't know if that's because I'm (one of) the newest--technically--or if it's because I hadn't been here as much as some of the others but that shouldn't be one of my worries. No, I'm not making this about me; I'm stating a problem that can easily be fixed.

Again, to recap, Space would be a great admin and he's qualified (more than me anyway), but I think the admins that are already elected need to get priorities together before electing another...
