I'm sorry Stpehen, back then the wiki was in effect run by one person. It worked fine at the time, but that's not how a wiki is supposed to be organized, and we're past that stage now. I'm afraid you'll have to be nominated and voted for like everyone else.

On a side note, adminship is not a status. It's a responsibility, which is given to those who prove themselves to be able and willing to contribute on a higher level than the average editor. The same goes for rollback authority. You should view it as a tool to be able to contribute more effectively to the wiki and community, not a reward for your edits. If you really don't want to be promoted to rollback, you should make a statement to cancel your nomination.
