I have been trying to stay out of this, but it seems that this is a constant topic of interest for everyone.

I can't wholeheartedly agree to you being an admin mainly because of the whole removal of Neo. Being as they hadn't reached 1000 constructive mainspace edits either. Not sure where Prelate's getting 1300 from. I would be, at the very least, contradicting myself if I just went along with things. That being said, I do think you are doing a good job as admin. You seem level headed and unbiased, and you seem to want to consider all sides before making any decisions. So I'm certainly not in any rush to "remove" you. Especially considering that would only leave Prelate as the only one qualified by edits to be the admin. But since almost every post I've made in those removal threads was met with a response along the lines of "we as the community have the power", I see no reason why we as a community can't vote to make an exception. Not to mention, the rules on being an admin are somewhat vague. I originally argued that edits on another wiki are not the same as quality edits on this wiki. But if we're going to try and put this to a community vote, then we can look at those other wiki edits and decide for ourselves if they were contructive edits for that wiki.

I'd also like to throw this quote out there. Since there are others that want to qoute the policies as well. "Policies need to be approached with common sense; adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the wiki."

I feel that Prelate is a valuable editor to this wiki, but their motives to become admin will always remain suspect in my mind. Just the fact that they think they can remain fair and unbiased when Jinx goes for admin is a problem in and of itself.

Edit: After Prelate's response I corrected one word, but kept everything else the same so that it makes sense when reading it in order.
