Hello extremely passionate Gurren Lagann fan,

Thank you for your care, attention and the enthusiasm that brought you to this wiki in the first place like so many countless others. As you have requested, below I will be giving you a full explanation as to why I will be denying your request.

I appreciate your edits to the wiki, but I’m not really understanding your request, or rather, what you mean to accomplish or do would I grant it. You arent the only active user by a long shot while you yourself have only been on the wili for a little over 3 weeks and by your own admission have only been doing anything consistently for one. This is going to come as a letdown to you, but despite how passionate a fan you are, promotions, particularly to something like an admin would be far too superfluous to just grant because there are things that the wiki hasnt covered yet that you want to add. You can do that. This wiki is very open and accessible for anyone to come in and add themselves what they want in the way that they think would best supplant the information that can be found here. As has been proven from the past 15 or so odd years of being on wikia,he most effective members on a wiki are normal users. That is part of the reason why most of the time, you barely see admins and such around. Admin and the various other positions are offshoots of the normal user for the purpose of handling managorial and generally more administrative topics on the wiki, not eventual, more powerful forms of the wili contributor that all users should strive to eventually achieve. I myself have had pretty large impacts on wikis in the past entirely without any sort of power user privileges, because unless the owner is completely sterile, it is unecessary.

Now, with all of that said, I would still for posterity’s sake like to give you a chance to make a reply. That is, rather than asking me to give you a full explanation as to why I am declining your request, it would much more condusive to this exchange for you to give me a full explanation as to why you need to be promoted from contributor to admin, beaurucrat, content moderator or anything else in the first place, because as far as I can tell with all my years of wiki-ing, contributing, getting promoted, taking over wikis, absorbing other wikis and leaving wikis and as far as you’ve made your case, there is no point.

Give it some thought,

Moonlight Guidepost
