I think that adminship should be chosen by Crats and Admins instead of voting, as the position sysop is quite important, and apart from bcrat is the most important position in a wiki. If a user that is unfit for admin duties is made an admin, the results could be catastrophic, and could seriously harm the peace of a wiki. If admins are chosen through voting, the possibilities of such an occurrence happening are much higher than the alternative. After all, bureaucrats are respected users and are more often prepared for their duties. Of course, wikis are supposed to be democratic; but keep in mind wikis cannot be compared to real life. The average wiki user is not yet an adult, and therefore cannot be trusted to make decisions like an adult. Though still underage, bureaucrats are often much more mature than the average user, and often they often keep in mind the good of their wiki, rather than average users who can be extremely biased in their choices.

+1. Hoping that this wiki's bureaucrat are mature enough.
