User blog:Harrypotterexpert101/Potential Adoption: Community Discussion!

Hey all, my name is Dave, and I am Community Councilor here at Fandom. I stumbled across this wiki and noticed that there is a lot of clean-up and such that needs to be done, and so I have been doing what I can to deal with the stuff that catches my eye. I recently noticed that this wiki just had it's only active administrator quit, so I decided to begin the process of adopting the wiki. I am about 3/4 of the way done at this moment in time, but then I noticed this.

It has been brought up that we should have admin elections rather then an adoption. I agree that we should put together some content mod/admin elections for the community, but I think we should have a Bureaucrat oversee the process. I propose that we hold these elections after I finish adopting the wiki (I will fulfill my editing requirements on Thursday), so that we have one person in charge of the process and don't have to bug Staff about it.

I think I am suitable for this position because I actually have experience with wiki management (I currently admin for over 10 wikis, and mod for a few as well). I am familiar with wiki policy, the admin tools, thread-moderation, chat moderation, and care very much about this wiki and it's users. I have the ability to train potential inexperienced admins, and teach them how to use their rights correctly.

As part of the adootion, I am required (and want to) have a community discussion about this. What do you guys think?
