Hmm, I wouldn't worry about that too much if I were you. With sysops, the more the merrier so you needn't think of it as there necessarily being only 1 or 2 active admins at a time; it would be great if we had more. (Not so for bureaucrats though.) As a sysop, you'll handle blocking of vandals, page deletion, etc, a lot of Wiki housekeeping stuff - conflict resolution less often, so I'm going to have to disagree with you and say that there's plenty you can contribute (especially since I'm not around to do day-to-day maintenance). My knowledge of Wiki policies is just something you get with experience I suppose, nothing special, most users will get it in time as well. As for General, yeah he definitely has potential though in the past I had my reservations. I won't comment further unless he requests sysop tools from me again haha.

In any case, if you are planning to be active and think you could handle it, you need only ask. Cheers.
