#'''Strong support''' You're a great contributor, and I have to agree with Berrenta that your response to the below question is a very logical one. You know what you are doing, and I have yet to see you abuse rollback. You also seem to have a thorough understanding of each smash game. Best of luck to you.

#'''Strong support'''. You are an amazing editor, and I really think that you becoming an admin is a ''very'' good idea. Your edits are incredible, and you've been so helpful here that the wiki wouldn't be the same without you. Plus, Smashwiki could benefit from a few more admins.

#'''Neutral''': I'm in a tether totter for this. While you are a userful, nice editor with great thinking and one of the best rfa candidates, you seemed to have very few core problems, as noted from some other old users. Disputes for instance, while not everybody is perfect. I looked at your answers about disputers and your answers seems to be questionable. Now if you look at the users who successfully passed the rfa, they have great disputes control. Or in case for Unknown the Hedgehog, a user who failed the RFA, he has a good trait like being a sociable person who keeps their cool. Any of your positive traits that links towards your disputes, would be a boon in your RFA. Right now, I'm not sure if I can trust you as a admin. My opinions will change if you demonstrate your positive traits that links to your disputes. [[User:Luigi540|Luigi540]] ([[User talk:Luigi540|talk]]) 21:41, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

#'''Neutral''', not been around long enough and more of a contributor rather than admin in my eyes. As many have said, not a huge bunch of reasons you really fit the slot of what admin is. I'd support, although I believe you are a better contributor than an admin. [[User:F0rZ3r0F0r|F0rZ3r0F0r]] ([[User talk:F0rZ3r0F0r|talk]]) 06:16, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

::Other large wikis may need many times more admins than said five. For example, the Mariowiki has 20,000+ articles and many users are guaranteed to edit on a daily basis, so maybe they do need many admins to keep things running. SmashWiki is a medium-sized wiki, not small and inactive like Wikibound, but not huge and traffic consuming like Wikipedia is, so personally three or four active admins is pretty viable already.

So its been a month now and looks like its also going nowhere. For the supportive side, we once again have mostly users who are very active but have been on this wiki for only around a year or less while we have not so active but more experienced users on neutral with no opposition yet. Otherwise, this could be seen as a stalemate and it wouldn't be over for months unless if more users share their opinions.
