`  :My friend that is my whole point. You have only a small number of edits, and therefore only a few people are aware of you. Keep editing; take part not only in articlespace but also in talkspace and in admin-related pages such as WP:CSD, WP:AIV, WP:UAA, WP:AfD, WP:RfA and so forth, and other editors will become aware of you. You cannot do it without spending some time and effort. Incidentally, I believe that the highest ever level of support was about 250, albeit with a fair nuner of opposes. Essentially just get in there, keep editing, spend some time in various aspects of the project and you will get there. I am almost immediately going on a three-month wiki-break, but would be happy to adopt and guide you, if you wish, when I get back on-line (mid-April). You could do worse than going to WP:ADOPT in the interim.  `
