Blog:Letting admins win Golden Homers

I think admins should be allowed to win Golden Homers, as he only difference they have from normal users is that they can edit protected pages. This wouldn't make them any better or worse than normal users. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 05:33, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

1. Admins are admins. Isn't that a good enough achievement? --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 05:37, 5 April 2012 (EDT)

• The Golden Homer is about good users anyway. Right now, the same users are being nominated over and over again. I'm pretty sure somewhere the rules stated something like, "Admins cannot be nominated as they are nearly always good editors." Lots of our normal are good editors too. It just makes no sense. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 05:36, 5 April 2012 (EDT)
• The reason I put the rule in is because admins generally edit a lot more than most users and usually make great contributions. If this was to pass, I would exempt myself from winning anyway. 1. because I give out the award every month (and it would be weird giving it to myself) and 2. because I would get nominated every month and would probably win one of the awards every month. Other admins may feel the same or differently. I don't really mind either way but I will not be winning any awards :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:39, 5 April 2012 (EDT)
