You can still congratulate the other users even if you didn't get chosen. There's no reason to be upset about it. It's just for people to help out the wiki. You can do that without being an admin.

Plus, I was not promoted over other users for a while (though I had been around longer than some). I never complained, and I don't think I ever promoted myself. I got it eventually, and it feels the same as being a regular user.
