It's been a hard decision but I would like to be an administrator in this wiki. Not only do I want to serve this wiki, but also be one of the administrators who listen to everybody's comments.

Basic information:

I have gained about 2000 edits in just 2 months. I am active in this wiki everyday. I am the user who come up with the idea of the design of level pages, like Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. I am also keen on fixing syntax errors and templates. I know a lot of codes and I can help beautify a lot of things in this wiki. I rank the second, once first, in Mainspace edits and the first in edits in this wiki. I am now level 152 in Candy Crush Saga.

What I've done

I help answering some requests from people who want to change the difficulty. I have proposed several drafts to define how to grade the difficulty. For me, I think the difficulty should be chosen by the community, not by this wiki alone. I participate actively in discussions on changing the difficulty of different levels. I also promote free editing and liberty in this wiki and also a harmonious environment for everyone to edit in this wiki.

My plans


 * 1) Renew the navigation bar: I will redecorate the navigation bar. Probably, I will add some new features, like linking to Booster, linking to forum pages, linking to Characters and bringing back the "Popular Pages".
 * 2) Upload a background image: I will make one and upload one as soon as possible to say "goodbye" to replace the tessellated design.
 * 3) Upload a wordmark: I will upload a wordmark as soon as possible.
 * 4) Update the default userpage: I will implement my design to replace the old-fashioned default userpage.
 * 5) Add a new set of badges: I will add a new set of badges to encourage users to contribute in pages under the category of "Levels".
 * 6) Unprotect every page: When I'm an admin, I will promise I will unprotect every page until I am inactive in this wiki, including List of Levels, which there will be a rule to help unprotect the page and monitor the page as well, which is more sustainable than protecting pages. This act plays an important role as it can decide the WAM score of this wiki. If there is edit warring, I will encourage him to stop and ask him for the reason.
 * 7) Add more new functions: I will add more new functions, including a clock at the top bar, into Wikia.css and Common.js.
 * 8) Renewing the table of List of Levels: I will redecorate the table of the page - List of Levels to be more fancy and fashionable.
 * 9) Shortcuts: I will add a lot of more shortcuts in the wiki, in order to add accents which cannot be done with a keyboard alone. Words like fiancé, café, cannot be keyed in by an English or American keyboard.
 * 10) Vandalism control: I will implement the scale in Wild Ones Wiki to judge the severity of a vandalism to this wiki. It can help stop vandalism and it is very effective as well. When this scale is implemented in Wild Ones Wiki, vandalism activity has dropped drastically to a low level. I hope I can implement one in this wiki.
 * 11) Main page: I will redecorate the main page to shorten the gap between the left column and the right column.
 * 12) Adding "comments" section to all level pages: It is a great idea to implement this function into all level pages as it can give readers a brief description on how the level is like perceived by different users.
 * 13) Difficulty how-to:
 * Propose a change in the comments below.
 * Get everyone to discuss.
 * If more than 70% of the comments are agreeing with the idea, commit the change. (Neutral ones don't count.)
 * Look up at crushingcandies.com if there are a lot of users finding the level "hard" or "easy", at least 6 of them should have the similar comment.
 * Otherwise, hold a poll. However, poll is not the best because someone may play with it, marking the level as "very easy" when it is "insanely hard" or "insanely hard" when it is "very easy". Also, the poll may only apply to the small amount of people, which cannot represent the whole. The result should be measured by taking the median, not the mean or the average.
 * If these measures fail, my invented system will help mark the least possible difficulty. This will narrow the choices objectively.
 * "Insanely hard" and "very easy" can only be rated if most of the community find the level in the above described difficulty. That means, it should receive over 85% of support, neutral ones don't count.

My anticipation

I hope when I am an admin, I can help build a harmonious environment for users to edit and solve a lot of difficulty disputes by using my proposed method. My goal is to minimize any arguments caused by the contradiction of levels' difficulty.

I hope you support me on being an administrator in this wiki. I am really grateful to be a part of a member in this wiki and help contribute. I hope the bureaucrat of this wiki can promote me. Thanks!
