Summary

Description
English: This is an animated GIF ad for requesting adminship (on an English-language project like English Wikipedia) created by Qxz, ostensibly on behalf of the nonexistent Cabal. The ad's frames contain only text — no photos or clip art. Here is a transcript:
  • Do you consider yourself an experienced contributor?
  • Have you been actively editing for a few months?
  • Do you have a sizable edit count, well-distributed across the namespaces?
  • Is your edit summary usage... er, however big they want it to be?
  • Can you recite the deletion policy from memory?
  • Can you spot an un-free image at fifty paces?
  • Do you have a record of civil dispute resolution with no recent incivility?
  • Have you contributed to Featured Articles, yet also found the time to do maintenance work?
  • Can you demonstrate a need for administrative tools, trustworthiness and long-term commitment to the project?
  • Are you familiar with process in a way people can measure quickly?
  • Do you enjoy endless policy discussions and ever-increasing backlogs?
  • Are you prepared to deal with regular complaints, threats and accusations of admin abuse?
  • Would you like to spend the next year or so cursing the day you ever heard of Wikipedia?
  • Great!
  • You may want to consider requesting adminship. Disclaimer: This advertisement is not endorsed by the Cabal. Nothing in this advertisement should be assumed to constitute a minimum requirement for adminship or otherwise taken to be official
