Consistent compliance with Wikipedia policy is more important than your personal beliefs. Inconsistent compliance is a good sign of activist editing.
For example, if you assert something, and are presented with countering evidence from a reliable source, do you consider changing your position like a reasonable editor, or do you ignore it to argue your position?
When you join a wiki community, be a constructive editor.
Administrators, commonly known as admins or sysops (system operators), are Wikipedia editors who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain special actions on the English Wikipedia, including the ability to block and unblock user accounts and IP addresses from editing, edit fully protected pages, protect and unprotect pages from editing, delete and undelete pages, rename pages without restriction, and use certain other tools.
They are never required to use their tools, and must never use them to gain an advantage in a dispute in which they are involved.
Admins are selected by the Wikipedia community at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship through an often grueling review process. Go there if you would like to nominate someone to be an admin (including yourself).
