Those there who put so much emphasis on vandal fighting seem to forget that the aim of Wikipedia is to write an encyclopedia.
The counter argument to that would that yuo don't need to be an admin to edit.
True enough. I've gone 4 1/2 years steadfastly refusing to be an admin. There have been some occasions where I would have found it useful to look at deleted articles, or to move things around, or sometimes to edit locked pages. (Most recently to fix "can not" to "cannot" in the disclaimer statement) None of this would involve vandal fighting. I may apply for adminship on my fifth anniversary. ;-)
