It takes a while. You have show that you are a good editor and that you will follow all site policies. You have to be a regular contributor and assist with solving disputes among other users. You have to be level headed and accept criticism and go with the group's decisions once they have been made. We also have a time line of one year of work before we will consider making someone an admin. Admins have a huge amount of power on the site and we have to see that someone is consistently reliable. That's a long list of requirements, but it is certainly achievable. We are always looking for more admins and I would be happy to help you with any questions you have.
