Hey-o, I'd like to elaborate some more on why I'm a better candidate for this position than Banarama. I'll first discuss the so-called Advantages of Banarama, before moving on to my own Advantages. Bana's Advantages And Why They Aren't Unique In a much earlier post, Banarama listed several advantages for why he should be made Senior Admin. But upon closer inspection, are these advantages really unique to Bana or do I also have them? My Advantages And Why They Are Unique So ok, maybe Bana's advantages aren't exceptionally unique. But why vote for me? Why am I a better candidate?
 * Projects. It's certainly true that Bana has lead or participated in no small number of projects. But in my time here, I've also initiated (such as Arras.io) and and contributed (including Page Moving, Diep2, and Unknown author) to quite a few projects. Nevertheless, I cannot deny that Bana has lead many more than I have, but in the months that I've been here, I have done just as much of this as Bana has.
 * Long-Standingness. Bana's been on this wiki a long time, almost since it's creation, whereas I've been here a *mere* ten months. But is this really an actual argument? Should we appoint Senior Admins based upon how long they've been here... or upon what they've done while they've been here? And while I haven't been here for eons, I have been on FANDOM since 2014.
 * Experience. Bana claims to have more experience in virtually every realm—staff management, harassment, and so on. But this is a misunderstanding of the facts. I have considerable experience with Staff management (for example, I almost single-handedly reformed the MooMoo.io Wiki Staff and am responsible for the promotions    ), harassment (having participated in the cleanup of  and Furry-Gate), and vandalism (I've literally reverted hundreds of vandalous edits, both here and across the FANDOM network). If I don't have enough experience to equal Bana, no one does.
 * Knowledge of the Community. While it may once have been true that I didn't know the community too well, that is in the distant past. Whereas Bana has been hiding on Hiatus, I've forged relationships with virtually every user here, particularly the newer arrivals.
 * Activity. This is pretty huge. Banarama has been on Hiatus for about a year now, only coming off when the Senior Admin position was at stake, whereas I have been consistently one of the most active users on the wiki, cleaning our code, content, and community. And honestly, which is better: a mostly-inactive Leader or an extremely active Leader?
 * Work. Work is a big part of being a Senior Admin. Just take as example—his work on this wiki (moderation, code, cleanup, content, etc.) has been unmatched. I've also done my fair share. For example, I have...
 * Heavily cleaned up our fanon categories.
 * Moved more pages than any other user, while still checking.
 * Created several new code gadgets.
 * Cleaned up quite a few Mainspace and Arras pages.
 * Banarama, too, has made massive contributions to the wiki, but the majority of those are in the distant past. How can we know that Bana will resume SuperRobot-style activity? How do we know that Bana will make frequent and high-level contributions to the wiki? We can't, but what we can know is that I will continue to do what I've done for the past ten months—continually and effectively improve our wiki.

And so, for all these reasons, I'd like you to reconsider your vote and possibly change it to vote for Patrik, the ACTIVE Candidate!
