Since I happen to see this message, I'll answer it. As per the "Becoming an administrator" section on the Administrators page, we have a requirement that people have to be here for six months and make 500 edits with over half of them not being blog comments or messages to other people on their Message Wall.

This helps show who has the commitment and is willing to put in the effort to be an administrator. We've had a few people do the typical "show up as a brand new user and immediately ask to be an admin" routine, and once we point out the requirements, we never hear back from them again, which means they weren't a good candidate to be an admin in the first place.

You have met the time requirement. You just have a bit more to go on the edits before you would qualify. But keep at it. We are looking for more people to be chat moderators, have rollback rights and eventually become administrators.
