Well, I'm tired of fighting, we're all respectable human beings with personalities and compassion trying to improve a Wiki in our ways. So let's act like it.

Amount of Edits

I understand you guys were arguing that it's 200 MAJOR edits, not 200 general edits, so you think therefore it should stay at that number. Keep in mind you are giving away an Administrator position. First of all, major edits could be interpreted any way based on the person. To me, ALL edits are major, because they all have an effect on the Wiki in some way, whether it be categorizing a page or adding that one piece of Trivia.

Major Edits

This doesn't even make sense. By now, the Wiki will have been edited majorly, so a "major" edit, at best, would be adding a piece of trivia or a sentence on a page, and even THAT is rare. I have 2,500 categories added on the Infinity Blade Wiki because it is almost impossible to find a page where you can make a major change. I noticed that here also, so the major edit requirement is outrageous.

Proposal

I personally think that an Administrator candidate should have at least 1,000 edits and a year of activity. It is a reasonable number to show you're dedicated to the Wiki (a new user rapidly editing in one day is not "dedication", it is merely the result of the excitement of being able to edit the Wiki you like for the first time. Real dedication is staying on the Wiki for more than 5-7 months, slowly editing, slowly improving the Wiki in your own little way. I would know because I've done it, and the excited rapid edits of new user being compared to mine and others' legitimate dedication and loyalty is an insult.

P.S. Specter, who's applying for Admin position? We're merely saying proposals for new requirements (at least, we were) :(
