It seems I have been absent for a while in the meta board. A quick search also revealed Mia's merit application happening almost concurrently and from same local board.
@Sexylizzy2813, you don't have to attack one applicant just because you feel the other is more qualified or the other applied first. There's enough room for everyone.
Besides, theymos knows the criteria for selecting a merit source. Many years ago Charles-Tim applied for a merit source but his application is yet to be granted. So, there's a pile of applications, but OP could be favoured as well.

If I may asked is there a rank limitation to apply for a merits source?
Usually anyone who feels more open (devoted of reading out quality post) can apply for merits source and it's not in the hand of that person to be approved as one rather from the hand of theymos as I know vividly, though I am not also sure that mods can appoint merits source apart from global administrators and head administrator which is theymos to appoint merits source.

Probably this might be a rhetorical question. But worth knowing this:

1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

If anyone has been receiving merit and giving merit to good posts and standout, irrespective of the person's rank, he can be given a merit source. But I think people that have this qualities in the past are senior members, heros and legendaries.
