Oppose.

As Pistachio said, the fact you're British is irrelevant. Nationality ≠ Skill. In fact, ≈7/14 staff (including myself) aren't American at all (that's around 50% of staff). In addition, you insinuate British superiority. Despite claiming it to be a joke, it does not appear in an obviously joking manner. The humour clearly hasn't translated.

Another thing I'm concerned with is time. You've only been here for just a few days over a month, a month being the minimum required experience to apply for staff. You make it seem as though you've rushed to get into a staff position as soon as possible - this also being suggested by the fact that your statement of applying for the only position obtainable to yourself at the current time. To summarise, I feel as though you're only here for the position, and less so to benefit the wiki.

Lastly, I don't feel on a personal level that you are fit for staff. A prominent example, in my opinion, is pointing fingers (and the like) when being told something that doesn't suit you. Coughcough.

In response to Blue, this is not about you and any sort of bias you may think there is against you. The result of this thread is irrelevant to your staff application(s). Your vote just comes across as you being overly sensitive over the fact that your application didn't pass. Nevertheless, the thread so far is (currently) disproving your hypothesis of bias towards new users.
