Sennim
I was surprised that Sennim is not already an admin on here. Seems to be one of the best contributors to MA (at least, IMHO). --Defiant 19:19, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not ready to weigh in on this nomination yet, but I wonder if we should attempt to address the inactive admins we have before adding another one.--31dot 21:46, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- I am in agreement with 31dot. --| TrekFan Open a channel 22:28, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, that's fair enough. But I don't think we need to change absolutely everything and for it to be too drastic. Anyways, Sennim's proposed admin status is also (at least, afaik) dependent on his acceptance (or lack thereof) of the role. --Defiant 23:53, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
- [edit conflict] - "For a wiki, the more administrators that participate in the system, the better." Since nothing has come of the various attempts to do something about the "inactive" admins before, I don't see any reason to hold up nominations until something is done, since it's likely that nothing will be right now. That said, I've been mulling over another proposal that would address the inactive admins issue, but I wasn't going to bring it up without further input and refinement, most likely early next year, though it wouldn't surprise me if there was already another suggestion on table as soon as new year's day.
- As for Sennim, while I know him to meet nearly all of the qualifications, not to mention that I think he would make fine admin, I've never really seen him "exhibit a good understanding of Memory Alpha's Policies and Guidelines". I would like for further input on that matter before deciding either way. - Archduk3 00:03, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
- And shouldn't the site-wide issue over what to do with long-inactive admins be dealt with separately from this particular, specific nomination? --Defiant 00:07, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
