Imperators II (8 admins + 8 users/0/0)
Two-week deadline from first request, voting ends February 21, 2017.

Support

 * 1) It's been over two years since the last time we added a new administrator, and since then a lot has changed around here. A lot of our established admins have either left entirely or aren't around as much, and I feel there's a gap that needs to be fixed. With that said, there's no other user on this wiki that's better equipped to fill that gap than Imperators II. Over the last year-plus, Imperators has established himself as one of the most capable and trustworthy users on the site&mdash;he's the kind of guy that a lot of people probably assume is an admin already, which I think is the true mark of showing someone is ready. This kid's got the stuff, and I think he deserves it. I believe our next admin should be Imperators II.  IFYLOFD  ( Talk ) 06:41, February 7, 2017 (UTC)

 * 8) Just echoing Floyd's comments, Imperators is a very solid and reliable user, and I'm glad to see he has gotten more involved with things around here. Having gotten to know him over the past several months mostly through IRC discussions as an AgriCorps user, I trust him with the keys to the executive bathroom. It will also be a bonus to have another European admin patrolling the site overnight North America time, when we sometimes go hours without any sysop presence. On the flip side, it's no secret that the admin roster has become mostly dead weight, so it's good to inject some new blood in there. A new admin nomination has been a long time coming, and I hope to see others step into a leadership role to demonstrate themselves as worthy candidates for our consideration.

 * 10) I have no objection to this nomination. And considering how many people and things I do find objectionable, that's a major statement in favor of this nominee. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 12:12, February 10, 2017 (UTC)

 * 14) With a bunch of admins&mdash;including me&mdash;being more or less absent, a new administration is a welcome addition to the team. Imperators is an outstanding user and he will be an excellent administrator. 1358  (Talk)  00:01, February 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * 15) I can see absolutely no reason to object and in fact would be a great choice. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:10, February 14, 2017 (UTC)

Optional candidate Q&A

 * 1) The new buttons, of course! :D Seriously though, being an administrator would allow me to help Wookieepedia in even more ways than are currently available to me.
 * 2) The role of an administrator is to oversee the Wook's operation and to ensure it runs smoothly. That involves both technical aspects and also helping out other users, including conflict mediation.
 * 3) Administrator is both a technical and a political position. An admin has technical responsibilities that are related to having access to special tools, and also represents the site, both in dealing with other users and otherwise.
 * 4) Admins should use their empowered status only for the benefit of the site, and should never abuse it to raise themselves above other users.
 * 5) I haven't had any major conflicts with other editors, and any differences of opinion I've had I've always tried to resolve via discussion.
 * 6) I take pride in the kind words of recognition I've received from the other users over my time here. I'm also proud of my contributions, such as the articles I've brought to FA, GA or CA status, and...well, a bit of editing I've done here and there. ;)
 * 7) I will do my best to be involved in most if not all of the administrator tasks.
 * 8) Participating in CTs, Senate Hall discussions and TCs is very important to the smooth operation of the Wook, and, as a member of the AC and EC review panels, I take an active part in the GAN and CAN voting process.
 * 9) Well, not everything is covered by policy, and sometimes admins have to decide the best course of action on their own. That said, the safest bet is always discussing such problems with other admins.
 * 10) I welcome new users to the site with the Welcome template onto their talk pages if I notice them making quality edits and not having a talk page of their own yet. The same principle applies to welcoming anonymous users, even though an anon making quality edits is a rarer sight in my experience.
 * 11) Before taking any other steps, discuss it with the other party.
 * 12) Same as any other act of vandalism, really. Most probably a warning on the offender's talk page, followed by a ban if the the vandalism continued.
 * 13) Same circumstances as any other user.
 * 14) I'd like to see more users engaged with the article reviewing process.
 * 15) How about instead of me answering this question, you go review an article? ;)
 * 16) is fine
 * Ah, OK, I'll look into it.
 * 1) If they also actively contribute to Wookieepedia, great. But I believe that's about the only thing that has any weight around here.
 * 2) Enough to make them a nightmare.
 * 3) Luke, Kenobi, Yoda, Windu, and Zayne Carrick are all cool.
 * 4) Policy, with consensus a close second.
 * 5) I'm a member of the AgriCorps and EduCorps review panels here.
 * 6) Similarly to No. 18, I believe our voting eligibility policy is quite clear on this. Productivity on the site is the only way to voting eligibility, which in turn is the only way to influence policy.
 * 7) On Wookieepedia: improving the site should always be the main focus, and all efforts should be concentrated on making it the best Star Wars resource there is. On other wikis: quit wasting time and go improve Wookieepedia. :P  Imperators II (Talk) 12:45, February 7, 2017 (UTC)
