No. Just. No.

Pro tip: if you're new somewhere, don't ask "can I become an admin". It only decreases your chances of ever becoming an admin.

Admins are selected from the ranks, rarely if ever by self-nomination. The choice is based on quality edits, knowledge, community involvement, and the choice is then presented to the users, who can vote on yes or no.
