 Prerequisites: In order to become an administrator, you must fulfill the following prerequisites. Please put "Yes" or "No" next to them accordingly. 13 years of age or older. Yes A user on the Wikia for at least 3 months. Yes At least 250 article edits. No Have never been blocked from the Wikia or chat. (some exceptions may be made) Yes Active on the Wikia & chat. Yes Application: Username: UnknownBlock Introduction: I have been a chat moderator on the wiki for quite some time, and though I left for awhile, I'm back now. I have an odd sense of humor that hopefully doesn't distract me from things. Work Ethnic: I believe that I work pretty well with others, though sometimes I prefer to do things alone. I like to split tasks into smaller, more manageable tasks (though sometimes procrastination stops this from being a reality). Skills: I have founded a few wikis, and although they were not long-lasting, they did give me some good experience. I believe that I can stay unbiased when picking sides in a debate with a bit of effort; if the side I disagree with brings up valid points, I will consider them and possibly change my mind. I can also communicate relatively well with people. And, while it's not nearly as important, my English is pretty good, so if I ever needed to make an announcement or something, it would turn out well-written (grammatically, at least). I am also good at determining rules that need to be in place and rules that do not, so if we need a new rule or need an old one removed, I can figure that out. I can also research relatively well, so if there is ever something I don't know, I can find it even if a standard Google search doesn't do it (within reason). Weaknesses: Experience on other Wikia's: Although I may hold staff positions in other wikis, the only one I'm at all active on is the PinkSheep YT Wiki, which I founded. Recommendations: ElectricSupernova, Disnickfanatic ( http://elite-force.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:24709 ). However, I would take these recommendations with a grain of salt. Not because these people aren't respectable or trustworthy (they both became bureaucrats, after all), but because of how long ago the recommendations.

 Other: I do hope I get the position, but it isn't the end of the world if I'm denied and someone else gets the role. I want what's best for the wiki. Questions: 1. What do you think being an admin means? 2. How often do you come on wikia? Recently, I've been coming in at least twice a day. I may not edit every time, but I still pop in. 3. Would you be willing to make any sacrifices for the Wikia? I'd be willing to sacrifice time. Not so much that I no longer have any life outside of it, obviously, but a few visits per day to be sure nothing goes wrong and to do some things on the wiki if needed. 4. What ideas do you have for the wiki? What skills of yours would you use as an admin and how would you use them? I would do my best to see both sides in any dispute that may occur (though those rarely ever happen, since the wiki has become seen as a ghost town by many people). I would also see what rules need made or could be removed to create a better wiki overall. 5. What do you believe are the three most important qualities of an administrator? The ability listen and to change their opinions, the ability to communicate with others, and the ability to actually be kind (no one likes a mean waiter, after all (not staying admins are waiters, it's just an analogy)). 6.What key principles do you think are important when resolving conflicts between users? Seeing both sides is important. You also need to realize when a conflict needs resolved, because if it's just a normal debate, no insults, no disrespect, then let them debate. But, if it's no longer just a disagreement and it actually gets serious, then an admin should come in and settle things. 7. What would you do if you feel that another member of the administrative team is not living up to the principles outlined in our policies and your prior responses? I would first confront them about it (most likely through PMs on chat so as not to start unnecessary drama) to see their side of the story before I take any action. Afterwards I would see if I feel they were justified in what they did, and if they are, I would tell them that. If not, I would ask another admin what they thought of the situation, just to make sure I wasn't just missing something. If even then I felt they were doing something wrong, I would tell a b-crat about it so they can decide if action really needs to be taken. Note that in real time, this wouldn't  take as long as it sounds. If the situation is severe, I will alert a b-crat immediately and skip the previous steps entirely, so nothing bad happens. 8. What priorities of yours, if any, would change as a result of becoming an admin? How would those changes translate into your editing activities? I would not change my priorities very much, since I already care about the wiki and visit regularly. 9. What do you think you would struggle with most if you became a new admin and how would you try to defeat that struggle? I feel I would struggled taking immediate action, since I feel guilty if I don't consider all angles beforehand. I'll try to overcome this struggle by judging the situation myself well enough so that I don't have to talk to everyone involved in every single disagreement. 10. Why would you like to be an admin? I would like to be an admin because I want to help the wiki. Admin Bio: If your application does get accepted, what should your bio be on the administrator page? (this must be at least 3 sentences long.)

Hello, I’m UnknownBlock (also known as Unknown). Some things I think I'm good at are settling arguments, and writing things to make them appear as though written professionally. And if you need help with something, feel free to ask. Even if I don't know the answer right away, I'll definitely get to looking into it!
