16**Step 1.** Contact an admin to inform him or her of your wish to become one. In your message, please explain why you have decided to apply to become an advanced contributor.

1818**Step 2.** Admins will have their own opinion on whether or not to grant you the status of advanced contributor, but the opinion of the rest of the community matters. So once the admins have made sure your application is a serious application, they will announce it on the Wall and ask for opinions.
19By default, the announcement will state that these opinions should be sent only by private message to the admin who posted the announcement. Any reply stating an opinion about you as a candidate will be deleted.
20You can, however, indicate in your application that you are okay with people replying publicly to the announcement. In that case, the announcement will state that contributors can give their opinions either publicly or by private message.

This way, admins will know that there is a demand for a specific contributor to become an advanced contributor, and if they do apply, their application will be more likely to be accepted.
