Hi, Ms. Admin-Bureaucrat person. I just searched the user list for Bureaucrats and saw you and Tyler are the two most active ones right now.

I'm still new to this community but am trying to be a good editor. Basically while I read up on each past season I'm also editing it to improve grammar and (when worded summaries are unclear but I can clarify it thanks to the info in the tables on the pages) explanations when wording is unclear.

In the process of making these edits for the first 2 seasons, I noticed some odd vertical spacing in the code. Presumably this spacing was to make the Assistant Moderators table appear beneath (rather than lower and to the right of) the Head Moderators table and to make the Castaways table begin after the infobox ends so that it never gets pushed to the left of the infobox.

But I found a better way to handle those issues on the page. I created a template which can be placed immediately above the ==Castaways== tag to ensure that this section appears after the infobox when viewed on any device. If somehow this simple template code ever stops working in this way, we can simply adjust the code instead of having to go through a billion pages. Also I noticed that if I remove "align:left" from the Moderator tables then they still look the same but do not require all those extra line breaks after them.

I went ahead and applied these changes to all the seasons I could edit, but I noticed in this process that some seasons have different protection status from others. I understand ongoing seasons having stricter protection, but many of these seasons aren't super-recent. You can see the list of seasons in my post on my message wall.

I would like to have all the season pages consistent, so I am asking if you can either remove protection from the older seasons, promote me to admin so I can edit protected pages, or both. This will also allow me to improve the grammar and wording when I get up to those seasons. They aren't in desperate need of improvement, but I feel compelled to make the improvements anyway. I'd also like to see Episode Summaries filled out for more seasons, but I'll leave that to players who were actually on the season and are very familiar with it; I'm acting as more of an editor than a writer.

I understand new users are not normally made into admins on wikis, but I promise I'm a good-faith unbiased wiki editor. :) I've done the majority of maintenance on The Epic Struggle Wiki, and I used to be an admin on WikiFAQs as well (before I and pretty much that whole wiki went super-inactive).

Thanks for taking the time to read my super-long post. Please discuss it with other admins/bureaucrats if needed and reply at your leisure.
