I wanted to be a curator but I didn't explain anything so I will.

          I like projects that would be almost impossible to make. I don't favorite things very much, because I use favorites so I can get a link to that project quickly. I will favorite projects more often if I become a curator. I have a question. How long do you get to be a curator? I have told two of my friends about scratch and they joined scratch.

you get to be curator for two weeks.    so my shift'll end monday.

Yeah, I already started, got a few projects picked out,

Hi! I would like to be a curator. 

There are many projects out there that deserve more than what they have, and that bothers me. Curators get to help bring those projects out - I would really like to get a chance to do this too. 

I would try and cover all genres of projects - animations, games, tools, interactive art, music with the sound blocks, and such. The projects that are tools (like code encrypters and formula calculating) don't normally get on the front page, so I would like to feature these too.

Here's my schedule that I would use if I became curator (I'll change projects every two days):

Days 1 - 2: Animations - I'll try and pick ones with good animating, and ones where the sprites were drawn by the user and not imported. 
Days 3 - 4: Games - I'll try and pick ones that are unique and have good gameplay. Replay value would be nice too.
Days 5 - 6: Tools - useful projects that are easy to use and produce nice things. Analyzers and graphs would be there too, along with a processor of some sort.
Days 7 - 8: Projects that create music with the sound blocks. Multiple instruments and notes playing at the same time would be great, too - I know a user that creates a lot of these projects, and I'd like to curate one of them (here's one of the many music projects by that user). I'll also try and curate a music-maker project - then you get to make your own music! 
Days 9 - 10: Art - I'd curate some interactive art, but what I'd really like to curate is some pen art - it looks great, but it doesn't normally get much attention. Here's one that's awesome, and I think I would curate that. 
Days 11 - 14: I'll throw up some miscellaneous projects of all genres that I enjoyed, and hope that others will enjoy them too. 


Please consider me for being a curator - I would really appreciate it! 

Third it. (You know, besides me  )

Ok, guys, I think that there's a 90% chance Jonathan's gonna be curator now. xD Since so many people favor it. xD But just in case...

5th it. xD

Here is another try (to get the message out    ) on proposing to be a curator:

I would like to become a curator because:

1. I would pick projects of all types, music, platformer, animations, art, simulations, and all other general games.

2. I know A LOT of Unknown project creators (just look at my friends list) and I see several new projects each day.

3. I would search through the 'Show and Tell' Article on the Scratch Forums. I would also make a project called 'propose your best projects here' so scratchers can link their and other people's projects for me to explore.

4. With these 2 resources for projects, I will plan to add a new project every twelve hours, giving the picked project about 36 hours on the front page and give it a healthy boost of 300 views.

5. I have been on the scratch website about a year now and I have a good taste of projects ( not just os's    ), and will also take into account how many good and deserving projects they have made which shows that they are a good scratcher.

6. I will only pick projects that have less than 100 views, and that have less than 20 love-its. I will however pick projects that are in a series and the predecessor has been curated before. I have seen A LOT of good projects and I knew how I felt when I first published my first OS. (Thanks LS97  )

7. I will favour and more likely curate projects that run well online (or at least run well online), and make sure that there is no offensive material in them (that's for you, kids), and that they will be exciting to all audiences (not 'Barbie Dress-Up).

8. I will be fair and give each project the same chance (unless it falls into the previous paragraph), regardless who made it. I will not however curate projects where the creator will likely to be mean to his commenters or just not say anything to them.

Those are some of the reasons why I think I should be a curator.

Here is another attempt to become a curator, and also to make a proposal that is longer than Jonathan's one.  So here it goes:

(Where I stopped last time)

9. The amount of projects I see that have less than 50 views and are good enough to be curated is just incredible. I know so many scratchers are amazing and deserve to have their projects curated. But, just to show you, here are some of the scratchers that have good and worthy projects: 

Prestige

SeanCanoodle

ilikewaffles

zxcvbnmkj 

Dom818

hackjack

BigDolphin

10. In case I don't find any worthy projects ( I sound like a god    ), I will ask my friends to help me find some and make sure that my front page curator page keeps on moving. I will also check previous curators favourites page and look at what projects they have favoured after their time as a curator.

There is 2 more points. 

More anyone?

I wish xD; the Scratch Team will only choose people that they know would be a good curator.    But thanks everyone.

That looks really, really good - you obviously put plenty of time into that, and it's a brilliant speech.

It is a nice speech, but versions of it have been posted a few too many times lately.  Patience is also an important quality in a curator. In the future, please repost at most once per month. Thanks. 

Sorry I wasted your time (walks off into the rain and disappears into the horizon) 

I would like to be a curator, I know you guys are busy so I won't be expecting to be picked or anything.     I appreciate projects that show that the creator clearly had put time effort into that project, and/or humorous projects, that are sure to put a smile on your face. I really like a wide range of projects, art, animation, humor, ext.... 

~Keep on scratch'n'!

I would like to be a curator because I want to show puzzle games to the world. If you pick me, thank you a lot.
