[Requests_for_adminship/Enigmaman#Oppose me] 1)Experience/number of edits: 2)

People are constantly banging the article-writing drum. You must do more article-writing. I can't support you without more article-writing. It's true that I don't have a landmark article that I can lay claim to. However, I'd like to remind you that the only reason I'm here is to improve the encyclopedia. I constantly copy-edit and make minor edits to articles. I contribute in my own way. I simply do not feel comfortable writing large chunks of articles. I improve the work of others, but I do not write my own, for the most part. I simply don't believe I'm qualified to write articles in an encyclopedic tone. Does that mean I'm not qualified to be an administrator? I would take the opposite tack entirely. Some of our best article-writers are not qualified to be administrators. That's not a knock. It's simply a fact. Different people have different strengths. Being good at writing articles has very little to do with being a good administrator, in my opinion. It's a task that's critical to building an encyclopedic encyclopedia, but as adminship is not an award of service, how is it relevant how crucial the contributions are?
