Arthur, three people have applied to be admin at the adoption request page. Although there can be more then one Admin on a wiki at a time, there can't be more than one request for adoption. As soon as someone gets around to answering the requests they'll be told they have to choose between the three of them who will get the rights, which may cause conflict.

If you ask one of them to change their adoption request to a request for bureaucratic AND admin rights, they can then give other the users admin rights without having to go through the request process.
