With the recent removal of inactive administrators in our ranks and a great deal of new ''Halo'' content coming in the next year, myself and the remaining admins felt that additional admins were needed for Halopedia.

Braidenvl has been a loyal, reliable, and trusted user on Halopedia for years, with many quality edits and a great understanding of the ''Halo'' universe. I am quite confident that Braidenvl is more than capable of handling administrative rights and duties in a responsible manner.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 18:40, 28 June 2013 (EDT)

I'm pretty familiar with the under-the-hood aspects of the wiki, so I generally feel comfortable when formatting pages and templates. I'm willing to admit when I'm stumped, though, and I know whom to ask for help. Most of my technical contributions have been low-key, such as formatting lists of appearances. However, I have created a few general-use templates, most importantly [[Template:First mentioned|this one]], which is now in widespread use.

Like my response to question #2, I would say that sharing my knowledge of ''Halo'' canon is my biggest contribution to the community. I'll admit that I'm not overly involved in the ''Halo'' community at large; I'm certainly not shy, but I stick to editing here for the most part.

My most important ''specific'' contribution was probably [[Talk:Covenant remnant#Name (closed)|clarifying that the ''Halo 4''-era Covenant are not called "the Storm"]]. This has led to many members of the ''Halo'' community (not just ''Halopedia'') referring to the faction as the "Covenant ''Capital R''-emnant" as if it's an official in-universe name. Oh well.

One of an admin's main duties is to arbitrate disputes among users and to [[Halopedia:Blocking Policy|block when the situation calls for it]]. Admins are also responsible for organizing the community for special projects, (such as Xbox LIVE playdates); for informing everyone of proposed policy changes and encouraging them to vote; for ensuring that the news bulletins on the main page are up-to-date; and so forth. I know that many of my rights as a patroller (such as protecting pages) would be carried over, so the learning curve shouldn't be particularly high.

I'm not really active on any other wikis anymore. I used to edit the [[w:c:cnc|EVA Database]], but it's been several years. Nominally, I am a [[Destinypedia:User:Braidenvl|member of ''Destinypedia'']], but so far I haven't gotten very involved. I read countless other wikis, (with ''Wookieepedia'' taking the #2 spot) but ''Halopedia'' is the only one I consistently edit. As with wikis, I usually take a ''read-but-don't-get-involved'' approach to forums.

I do have Xbox LIVE, but I keep my gamertag to myself with few exceptions. I should say that multiplayer isn't really my cup of tea. It's definitely fun and I'm very good at it for someone who almost never plays online. However, I care about story and campaign far more than frenetic PvP action.

I make a point to read over our policy pages every few months to stay abreast of what flies and what doesn't. I am quite familiar with the MoS; the Layout Guide; the community guidelines; and the specific policies for notability, canon, spoilers, blocking, and so forth.
