Wikiquote:Requests for adminship/Pmlineditor

Hi, I'm Pmlineditor and I've been editing Wikiquote for some time now. Admittedly, I have not been as active as I would have liked to be here and my activity has fluctuated (mainly due to being busy in real life and having internet problems from 2010). I have only around 850 edits, mostly in anti-vandal work, deletion nominations and some cleanup and categorization work. Apart from Wikiquote, I am an active cross-wiki editor (though not active as I used to be, but I've got more time now), with Global rollback and Global sysop rights, apart from local adminship in some wikis (Simple Wikipedia and Wiktionary, English Wikinews and Meta; see my matrix for further details).

I'm requesting admin rights here as although I might not be the most active non-admin here, I do keep watch here, and have often faced situations where a vandal is creating nonsense pages and vandalizing articles and I'm the only active editor reverting his edits (luckily I have rollback, but blocking the vandal in question is a far better option). Most of the Wikiquote admins are inactive or semi-active at best (in fact, in the last three months, only 3 admins have more than ten actions), and seeing that I'm almost always monitoring the RC of the wiki when I'm active and that I expect to continue to be active in the months to come, I think I could help out the other admins with deletion, blocking tasks etc. and block crosswiki vandals. I already have experience with the admin tools (I've been admin in at least one wiki for almost three years now), so I'll probably not do too many crazy things with the tool and will try and exercise caution while blocking/deleting pages etc. I'm available for ~10 hours through IRC and can also be contacted by email, so communication should not be a problem and I can be contacted if I'm not editing Wikiquote and some vandal starts editing here.

Thank you for your consideration. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 15:19, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Support · As there is clearly a need for more admins here, as much vandalism is not responded to so swiftly or thoroughly as it could be with a few more active admins. ~ ♞☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 16:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Support. Pmlineditor has been very helpful here. His experience as a Global Sysop, respecting the limitations on that role, gives me confidence that he will continue to me mindful of local customs and practices. ~ Ningauble (talk) 20:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
