Hello! High Prince Imrahil here, and I would like to make a formal bid for full mod.

As I open this request I would like to make this point: as with my previous request, I, in no way, expect modship to be handed to me instantly: I am simply giving you some things to consider if you ever think about promoting me. I would also like to say that I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging or being whiney, as that is not, in the least, my intent.

With that out of the way I would like to list a number of reasons promoting me would be in the best interests of the wiki.



I am fairly responsible:

I've worked here quite a few months now, and you know that I never use my power abusively or gloat to those who don't share the same power: if promoted I promise to treat other wiki members with respect and to NEVER abuse my power.



I am quite active here with NO intentions of ever leaving:

As much as you complain about having too much staff, the truth is that members are dropping off like flies: the only mod that is even reasonably active is Edacnik, and some of the others have gone inactive completely. I will basically serve this wiki as long as it exists, thus if I'm promoted you won't have to worry about finding a replacement when I go inactive because I never will go inactive.



I am a good person:

I have very high moral standards for myself, and you can expect me to be extremely professional. (Sorry about the FAQ joke, by the way)



I am well liked by the community:

I have a large number of friends here, with almost no enemies: having such a mod will decrease the amount of drama



<p class="MsoNormal">VERY familiar with lore:

<p class="MsoNormal">I have, quite literally, read ALL of Tolkien's work from the Unfinished Tales to the Lost Road. I have read the Silmariliion, the Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings almost a dozen times now.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Fair amount of edits:

<p class="MsoNormal">I realize that Mevans said edits don't matter for promotions, but I think that it is yet another asset that proves my devotion to the wiki.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Quite a bit of experience:

<p class="MsoNormal">As I said in my temp mod request a few months ago, though I'm not the oldest member here, I have been a contributor since the (last) days of Thorin11. I was here for most of the great events in the wiki's history, like the "Great Page moving" when we got the new wiki, "The Incident", and melkor2. Being a mod with such experience, I have a bit of wisdom about how to deal with things on the wiki.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Professionalism:

<p class="MsoNormal">I try to be as professional as possible: I never swear, I try to be kind (even to FAQ violators), I help people out, and overall I try to set an example to other wiki members.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">In closing I would like to state that I know this is a huge step: mod is a pretty important position and I try to make myself worthy of it. But I would also like to state that, as Mevans said, I treat modship not as a reward for hard work, but rather as a whole new set of tools to further help the community. In conclusion, I think my promotion would be in the best interests of the wiki.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your time,

<p class="MsoNormal">
