QUOTE(Random832 @ Mon 28th July 2008, 3:05pm)  QUOTE(NVS @ Sun 27th July 2008, 4:11pm)  Posting comments doesn't work (it says something about the DOM being messed up, and if I bypass that javascript check it says I "must be logged in") Fixed, for now. I have to debug the php later. Its sad if I have to use a bug tracker. :| Thank you for the report.

NVS, you appear to really enjoy, or else are very compelled, to participate in Wikipedia. For what it's worth, I suggest choosing a topic that's interesting to you and then taking an article about some aspect of that topic to Featured status.
The only real reward that may result from doing so is a feeling of satisfaction and pride for having created what would probably be one of the best, if not the best, article on that subject on the entire English Internet. But, I suspect that that feeling may be better than whatever you may be getting out of trying to participate in the project's administration. If you have already taken an article to FA with this or any of your previous WP accounts, my apologies for presuming that you haven't done so.

Of all my actions on Wikipedia, I can't recall one admin action that really left me with a feeling of pride of satisfaction. There is much more joy in writing and article improvement, no doubt. Aspiring for adminship is a waste. And I think I now understand the editors who oppose what they believe is an admin mill... and I think I just came to agree with them.
