User blog comment:TheAmericanDream/New (Newer) Admin Nominations/@comment-25123572-20141115013924

Hey, i'm Samantha, and i'm applying for admin. :3

I'd like to admit now that i've only been a member of this wikia- any wikia for that matter - since June of this year, but in that time i've contributed a lot to the wiki (At least I think so!), and have been active on a very regular basis, editing, making tributes, writing my very first games, helping out new and not so new users alike, and basically assisting where I could. :3

I have created 49 tributes in my time on here, which I think is pretty good considering I haven't been here for even half as long as a number of other users, but out of all of them the one i'm most proud of is probably Aurora Grace ~ The Capitol. I won her picture from the auction, and though I knew I wanted her to be a Capitol female, I didn't really have that many ideas for her for a little while. Then, as if by magic, inspiration struck, and I managed to write the best (And possibly longest) backstory out of all of my other tributes, in my opinion. In fact, a few sections of the backstory were prompted by a comment I recieved on her picture saying she looked like she was 6, and that also sparked my imagination for a childish looking tribute, who was deceptively mature beyond her years too. All of this lead to her and her siblings (Amity Grace and Emil Grace) becoming my favourite family of tributes, and they are always the ones I feel the most pride over when I enter them into games. :D

Since the 30th of June this year I have managed to total up 1,413 edits, and considering i've only been here for just over 4 months, I believe this to be quite an impressive number. During that short space of time I have helped out new users and answered their questions, made many tributes, added categories to pages, started to write my own games, gained 6 Victors and 1 Escapee from various games, and made great friends here while I was at it. I have also made multiple tribute categories for new users, created a stylist, head gamemaker, and president characters, kept tabs on RL pictures (Notifying users if they are using one that's already in use etc.), and made lunaiis for a new user who couldn't. Just today I helped out a new user with tribute templates and such like, as I find helping others rather fun, however cheesy that may sound. x3

I think as an admin i'd be fair and polite, just like I have been for all my time here really, as other users have hopefully noticed. I barely ever swear (and on the rare occasions I do it's very mild), and as far as I am aware I get on with all the users here, and have never had an argument or disagreement with anybody to date, as i'm pretty difficult to anger.

As an admin, I would love to make the auction a little more active and regularly update it, contribute my opinions to such things as TOTM and UOTM, and help with the general matenince of the wiki amonst other things.

I'd also like to help cull the amount of unfinished tribute pages we have on here, as i've come across many a page with just a lunaii, a name, and a RL picture on them, long since abandoned and with no information to boot. My idea is to delete those long forgotten pages and then auction off the Lunaiis and RLs, so basically recycling back into the wiki.

Also, due to the time zone difference between me and a lot of the other users, i'm often active when nobody else is, which means i'd be avalible to help other users at those times too. I, just like Yoonie, would also like to write a page of set rules, as the rules are quite hazy as it stands, and users like myself and others are often left wondering if they are inadvertently breaking any. Finally, if I see vandalism on THG wiki I undo it as soon as humanly possible, and I would do the same here if the situation arose.

I would also like to add that though I have no prior experiance as an admin, I would absoloutely love to be given the oppurtunity to give it my very best shot. :)

^ So, in essence, that's why i'd like to be an admin. Also, if you've managed to read all that I applaud you! (Claps and gives you cookies) :3
