User blog:Parrotbeak/Bureaucrat request

So, the title.

As some of you know, my intent is to ask for bureaucrat status at Community Central in March. I figure half a month earlier is barely a difference, also considering last time with the admin deal I had to wait two weeks before my request was looked into.

Why do I want Bureaucrat status?

When I asked for adminship back in October, I still had this belief that Lehall would return. In March, she'll have been gone for a year (give or take one incident that will only be in her favor not to mention) and the wiki will have grown a lot in her absence. I don't believe in her return or immediate relevance anymore, leaving the Wiki bureacrat-less. And that's not a good situation, as it means a significant portion of the wiki's possibilities cannot be accessed. For instance, a bureaucrat here wouldn't need two weeks to get to an advanced user rights request.

This doesn't mean that *I* have to be bureaucrat, but it would be convenient if someone is, and I don't think I'm too arrogant if I consider myself the best candidate.

There's also personal reasons I'd want the status. Mainly, in past months I've grown displeased with the 'humbleness'-role I envisioned for myself when I asked for adminship. Given the harrassment from both inside and outside this wiki's community I receive and the bare minimum support I get to deal with it, all contrasted by the effort I invest in the, bureaucrat-hood could at least offer a minimum relief (in that newer users who viciously don't agree with conventions they know nothing about won't be able to do the whole "Lehall and SCK are better admins. I'm going to ask Lehall to ban you." routine).

So, leave your opinion on my request below. Or the name of anyone you'd consider a more favorable candidate.
