Do you need to be an admin?
No. But I could help out more if I was one.
Can you be trusted as an admin?
Yes.
enwiki has over 1000 administrators now - 1015 at present, although how many are "active" is another matter - who knows how many of these are sockpuppets of people who have been banned for stalking, death threats, POV pushing, and other lunacy.
As long as unhelpful behaviour is discouraged, the mix should be constantly improving. This is why it's so good to have a record of everything which was said and when.
