I hope you're feeling better today. I hate the winter months because of the illness it tends to bring. Take it easy and know that the wiki is being watched over. Speaking of which...your illness made me worry, as I do whenever a friend-- casual or close --gets sick and I began to think about what would happen if you were seriously ill and decided to push up my request for promotion. This is going to be a bit lengthy, so grab a beverage as I'm doing this properly, presenting my "credentials" to you (and anyone else in the community reading this). To recap: I'm the admin/bureaucrat for two other wikis: Ouran HS Host Club Wiki which is undergoing a major manga writing project and Psycho Pass Wiki which is anticipating S3 this fall with brand new characters. These are two of my three favorite anime, Free! being the most recent and taking up most of my editing time in a good way. I've been an active member of this wiki for nearly two years, making minor contributions since I began in October 2017, then regularly and of a significant nature since March 2018. I initially sought to adopt but when I found out you were the A/B, I offered my services as co-admin and was delighted to meet an open-minded and fair person who said, "I see you have some work to do. Sure." Thus, collaboration began and I felt energy emerging within the active editors, which was wonderful despite some inevitable growing pains as we learned how to work together as a team. (Does this sound like an anime plot or what?) Once I felt I knew my way around the wiki, I requested Bureaucrat status and you agreed, but Yuji felt I needed more "seasoning." She was right to speak up and I said I would ask again in October. Well, October is only six weeks away and I am still interested. I believe I've proven my dedication to the wiki, as well as done sufficient editing to warrant the early request. I know Tari is ok with it, you were ok with it from the start and I think Yuji would be okay with it at this point. I believe I've met the proposed standards with grace, good intent, a collaborative mindset and proven outreach to the community at large -- all traits I believe are necessary for a good admin/bureaucrat to possess and execute. However, since Tari gave her blessing, it would please me if Yuji approved, too, even though only an admin's approval is required. She is a Content Moderator and her opinion matters to me. Do you think I should ask her about it or you? That is, if you still agree with your original approval. I hope that you do and approve this request promptly. I would be honored.
