User blog:Pinguinus/Bureaucracy

Many of you have by now seen JPhil's blog post concerning his canidacy as an administrator. JPhil was met with a positive reaction from out community, and so I was all set to grant him the powers of an admin so he could make the changes he felt were necessary.

Unfortunately, however, our wiki does not currently possess any bureaucrats. Bureaucrats are users with the ability to change the user rights of other users. They are distinct from administrators, who possess only powers directly related to the content of the wiki.

My current plan is to file an Adoption Request at the Community Central Wiki, so that I may gain bureaucratic powers and thus appoint other admins. But it is always important to find out what our community thinks--do you think it's a good idea to have at least one person on this wiki who is capable of appointing admins? I feel that my becoming a bureaucrat as well as admin would make the wiki more independent and capable of taking care of itself.

Let me know what you guys think in the comments!
