 * 1) I'm likely to do this kinda thing anyway :-P
 * 2) I'm quite familiar with wiki syntax, as well as being quite familiar with editing processes from various wikis
 * 3) * Second Life Wikia
 * 4) * Wikipedia
 * 5) * Official Second Life Wiki
 * 6) My work as a wiki editor is relatively well respected, having earned me nominations for a Hippo Award two years running- for either having invented or heavily contributing to a considerable amount of templates/processes in use on the SL Wiki
 * 7) I've also got a strong sense of ethics, which would be handy for mediating any editorial disputes.
 * Done. Your edits so far, as well as talking to you on irc convinced me. 20:43, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to request a spot on the admin roster, at least until the wiki gets organised better. We have a page to itself for all the badges, and then we have individual badge pages, which are unnecessary. we even have a page for sticks, which can be thrown in game. it's a paragraph. that's ridiculous. I'd like to help get this thing organised. No, I don't own the game yet (building a computer that can handle it first) but I do own the guide and I think I can be helpful. check out Cell Phase. I think I did a pretty good job adding information to that. The Achievements page too. Not only that, but most of the admins we do have are inactive. No wonder the wiki is all jumbled! --Lynncreed 13:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Your edits seem good, but i'm going to suggest you make a few more edits before I promote you. Keep up the good work and you'll be an sysop soon. Oh, and I don't have the game either, so you're not alone :). 19:05, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Cool. I'll keep editing then. Since I'm not a Sysop yet and can't do certain things, can I make suggestions for now instead? We have 2 articles concerning Cell phase, one called Tidepool Phase (I can't get it to come up from searching the wiki for some reason) and the other is Cell phase (or stage, something). We don't need two pages on the same topic. Can somebody make a redirect thing instead and delete Tidepool Phase? --Lynncreed 19:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to withdraw my application for now, as I can't be as active as I'd hoped. My birthday and two big trips are coming up, one of which is overseas, and I have classes and work besides that. After the holidays I'll probably have more time, at which point I'll re-apply. --Lynncreed 00:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * When/if you get back, feel free to move this back to open applications. 19:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I guess I'll apply to become an admin here, as I feel I have started making a large contribution to the content, specifically with the Achievements page and its subsidiaries, and am checking the activity logs pretty much daily. The main thing I can think of that I would do with the few extra shiny buttons would be to delete the few spam articles that pop up every once in a while, as that seems to be the main problems that arise here. I could help reorganize other parts of the wiki as well.

If I am declined, I shall have no hard feelings, as most of what I could do as an admin I can already do as a normal user. 02:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. You are already among the most active users of the wiki, and you have not been discouraged by the low activity of the other admins. Use your new powers visely. 16:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello there. I would like to be an admin too. I am very active on this wiki, and I am always doing stuff. I also helped with the expansion of some pages, like the images of the Achievements article, the information of the Sea Monster article, fixing the links for creatures in the taxonomy pages and spelling errors, and helping on the articles Grox, Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, and others. I want also to end this spam attacks with nonsense pages talking about random things. ME BANS PEOPLE!

I won't mind if I don't get the admin position. I really like this wiki and I wish luck to the people who get it. OluapPlayer 18:50 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to be an admin here, sure. I know a lot about fair punishment. Uhh...kind'a. I kind of go for the "Three strikes, and you're banned" method from when I was a Moderator, but not so much that it's a little harsh...I try to keep in touch the community, I revert vandalism. I use the word "I" a lot. What more is there that you got to have?

OK, OK...uhh...Well, I try to be as nice as possible. Really, I do! If you don't think so, you're ugly. I've written many articles, and have improved others too. My Wiki experience is pretty vast, I know a few coding tricks or two...So, what do you think?

Oh, of course Spore. I've been following Spore for nearly three years now...I think...and I know a lot about the stages, although Space stage would have to be my least knowledgeable. I'll make sure to find proof behind every myth or edit that may be false. So, yeah.  CAFINATOR    DO NOT CLICK HERE  19:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You have not been active for a while. I can't promote someone who is not (currently) active. However, if/when you return to editing, feel free to poke me about processing your request. 16:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I would like to apply to become an admin here on SporeWiki. I have had much experience here, I joined on October 17, about two months ago, and have been a member of the Spore community since September 21, two weeks after the release of the final game. I am a very active user on SporeWiki, as I probably spend an hour and a half here each day (in fact, I spend more time here than I do on the actual game) and almost never leave without updating something. I enjoy updating and correcting pages to make sure that they are 100% accurate. I have actually done a large amount of editing on the actual Wikipedia, and have had much experience. I have also created many important pages that many people use today. I have contributed to countless pages and constantly return to check that they are up-to-date. I have near-perfect English when writing pages, as you can see by the pages that I have provided.

Below is a list of pages (aside from Creature and Taxonomy pages) that I have created:


 * Déjà Vu
 * Social Engineer
 * Rising Star
 * Front Page News
 * Super Pilot
 * Zealot Passion
 * Warrior Passion

As you can see, my major contibutions are with Achievements, Taxonomy, and Creations. I hope that I can become an admin, so that this Wiki can continue to grow, develop, and be the best it can be. Zagorian 21:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I would like to apply to become a sysop on SporeWiki. I like this place, I am now very active on it. I help expanding, cleaning, and merging many pages, as well as adding images. I have a few articles inside the Taxonomy, and sometimes I put up a few of my creatures. I can quickly fly through an article and fix most, if not all spelling or grammatical and link errors. I like to work with the Planet & Surrounding Articles and also the Space stage is one of my favorite articles, and I helped in that process. I don't want spam or vandalism here on this excellent wiki, there seems to be a lot of useless edits that IPs are making, and I would to have my rights raised to help me do that. I have noticed an increase in vandalism, and I would also like to help stop that. I'm also a very experienced user when playing Spore and writing about it on this Wikia. And, now I'm experienced with vandalism. I will try to do my best to block them and undo their edits. And, I have plenty of good contributions, and I am in sixth place for the most edits (which are 99.5% quality), if you include AdminBot and MorgothBot.

I am active on a lot of wikis.

SimCity, Alternate History, Constructed Worlds, Maxis, Reversopedia, Un-Nintendo, Nintendo, Super Smash Brothers, Expressions, Spore Modding, Googology, and I've done a couple edits on some others.

I'd be fine not having my rights now, having it later would Ok. Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 22:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Support TimeMaster would make a great admin!!! Timmyray1221 12:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Have any things you want to know about if I become an admin? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs
