You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Hi MrLinkinPark333 – have you considered running for adminship? I've seen you around many times and always had quite a positive impression of you; you've done good work with content, you seem to have an even keel, and the copyright team could always benefit from more admin hands.
