Voting will last two weeks, at which time, if the vote is affirmative, the nominee will be granted administrator status.

To view past requests, see the RFA archive.

Questions
Here are some general adminship questions. They are 100% optional, so feel free to answer all, some, or none of them. :) G .He (Talk!) 20:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

G1 Why do you want to become an administrator?

G2 In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?

G3 In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?

G4 How do feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?

G5 Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

G6 Of your articles or contributions to Wookieepedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

G7 What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?

G8 How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?

G9 Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?

G10 What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?

G11 How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?

G12 How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?

G13 Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?

G14 If you could change any one thing about Wookieepedia, what would it be?

G15 Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?

C1 Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?

C2 Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Wookieepedia IRC chat?

C3 How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars communities (TheForce.Net, StarWars.com) trying to change policies here?

C4 How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)

C5 Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note: The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)

Two week deadline from first request, voting ends (16 December).

Support

 * 1)  Lorth Needa Striptease 01:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I hate to be the first to cast an oppose vote, but I'm afraid I can't support your nomination at this time. This is primarily because your edit count is too low, and currently heavily skewed towards edits of your own userpage. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Main namespace edits: 179. User namespace edits: 354. This is a joke, right? -- Darth Culator  (Talk)(TINC) 02:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) As above...besides...have you even been here 6+ monrhs? &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 02:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Sorry, need more contributions. G .He (Talk!) 02:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
