For the past two or three weeks, this site has had many vandalism and spam pages, as well as vandalism, due to having no admins as a result of recent events. Ducksoup has given me temporary admin to clean things up, and I have done that. However, while I am good at managing community and cleaning vandalism and spam, I am not a master at running a heavily informational wiki like this.

As a result, we need new admins for this site. Normally, I'd give out specific recommendations, but I am not really sure who would work. I've been absent from this wiki for a long time, so I don't know everyone who frequents here, and those that I do know are not really cut out for the job, so I will give you some requirements:

1) Good knowledge of the Godzilla franchise, especially the films. This one should be obvious, as accuracy and relevance is a high priority for us.

2) Some sense of professionalism. We don't need expert editors, but we want people who at least know how to use a wiki; we need people with good spelling and grammar, and those who maintain consistency with the current layout.

3) Skill with community management. Wikis are run by people, and people need to be treated fairly. Experience with managing communities and behavior is needed.

4) Skill with cleaning up. This one is something I became a temporary admin for, due to the recent slew of vandalism, unnecessary pages, and poor grammar and spelling that came as a result of no one being able to take care of this. I'd expect that whoever takes up the job can do this in my place.

I'd also note Ducksoup said that I could recommend myself, and while I can do 2, 3, and 4, I have been out of touch with Godzilla for a while, so I can't make sure every page here is as comprehensive and accurate as possible. As such, while I will not tell you not to recommend me, I will say that if you think I'm good enough, think of others who could do good at this job as well.

Thanks.

'''Edit: While no one said I have to say this, I feel it is necessary: Do not recommend anyone who frequents the other site, admin or otherwise. Having an account there that you barely use is not enough to void your chances of getting this job, but frequenting there is generally a sign that the person in question is a vandal, no matter how productive they were prior to the new site. Thanks again.''' I'll do it.
