User blog comment:Reddude/ADMIN BLOG-POST: Wiki Officers/@comment-Bbhinton15-20120728194629

Alright, let's go: For the most part, Reddy, I agree with your blog. I also feel as if there should be at least one more active bureaucrat on this wiki and, in my opinion, Gideon would be the better choice for reasons that have already been stated. Speaking as a past Administrator and a current Bureaucrat on the Total Drama Wiki, Reddy's right, the workload of a Bureaucrat isn't as demanding as it may sound. Honestly, I view it as just a title and it would suit Gideon because of how unbiased he is with everything about this place. I also honestly would like to throw Toad into the ring, also for Bureaucrat status. Again, it's not a tough job and he seems to be just as respected here, if not more, as Reddy and Gideon, in my opinion, of course. The only reason I'm hearing as to why he shouldn't be promoted is Well, he just got promoted to an admin, so... - So what? He's been here (according to his userpage) for about two years and probably should have been promoted to Administrator status sooner than now so it wouldn't be weird/awkward for me to say that I could see him as a great Bureaucrat also. I could go on longer, guys...

Now, about Administrator promotion... Reddy says that he could Bruno, Jay, and I as good candidates. I'm not going to say anything about myself in a braggart way, however, I do need to say that it's getting tiresome to see things along the lines of: He's going to college soon..., He won't be active after college..., He's leaving..., etc. I have yet to say that I'm completely quitting the wiki after I go back to college. I want to make sure everyone knows that I've only said that my time and activity will be "cut", not wiped out immediately. I will be on my laptop 24/7 (for the most part) due to my classes anyway, so I'll be able to easily check in whenever I can in the afternoons and evenings. If I'm not here at some point, it's on my own accord. If anyone's that terrified that I won't ever, ever be here, I'm letting those people know that I will still be here probably just a little bit less than you will be once school starts for you all - let's face it, life and class should come first anyway. Bruno & Jay would also make great choices as admins, also, and I agree with Reddy's reasoning... Personally, I don't care if Gideon & Jay are both admins but I feel as if others may have issues for whatever reasons. I can't think of any reason as to why Bruno shouldn't be promoted.

To add onto my opinions, a couple other people that I think should be at least considered would be: AJ, Indi, and Manatee. AJ - If I'm being at least considered a good choice by another admin, AJ should have been considered a long time ago. Everyone knows him and it kinda shows with how he's doing in Featured User currently, he's fairly active, he's been here for quite some time, and he has 'experience with the position (which is what should be sought after). Yes, his edit count may be low but an edit count isn't the only thing that should determine reasons as to why someone is or is not promoted... To be honest, I'm surprised nobody's said that about me as a con. Indi - I'm sure the only reason most wouldn't want her promoted is because she's fairly new, and I understand that. But, as some of the comments below say, she's mature and knows how to handle problems well which is a skill, in my opinion, that's needed well over a high edit count. There'd be a lot of controversy over this, though, I'm sure. Manatee - Wait, what? He hasn't been promoted yet? How?

Alright, I'm done. For those of you that read this entire blog, I thank you for sticking through to it all. "You have passed the test... and you can be our friend." If I offended anyone in any way, I apologize, just in case. It wasn't my intentions to. Best of luck with the decisions! ^_^
