I think promoting Space would be a good idea. A great idea and if we were going to promote any new admins Space would need to be one.

I don't know if we really need that many admins; since I've been an admin I've never been asked too much to help users with specific problems, though I don't know if that's just me or not a lot of activity.

I'll be honest, I was disappointed in other admins when we had to clean away Sprink's stuff. While I tried to do my share, most of it fell on Gideon. And there are at least two other admins present on the wiki all the time.

I'm not trying to attack anyone's work as an admin personally. But the thing is Gideon is a grown man with a job he works at. We shouldn't have to make him do so much work as it is. Not to mention he took the job as admin because a majority of people nominated him and he accepted on that behalf. And, he does have a project that he works severely hard at and doesn't have a lot time for it seems, especially with a life change coming to him soon.

So if we're going promote someone to admin, it most certainly should be Space who I know will help clean up the wiki. I am worried that then Gideon and Space will have to do a lot of the work, which they shouldn't.

So I think we as admins need to do a lot more as well. And I speak mostly for myself here. I admit I am not here as frequently as I'd like (though I'm trying to avoid being away for a month or so like previously). But when I am here, I should do some work, and all us admins should.
