Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights

This page is for requests for user rights.

Voting will last two weeks, at which time, if the vote is affirmative, the nominee will be granted the requested user rights.

Requests for adminship
Rules:
 * You may nominate another Wookieepedian (please ensure they accept the nomination first)
 * You cannot nominate yourself.

To view past requests, see the RFA archive.

There are some basic things to consider when nominating a fellow Wookieepedian for adminship.


 * 1) They have an account under a screenname.
 * 2) They have actively contributed for at least six months to the wiki.
 * 3) They are of adult age (18 years or older).

Oppose

 * 1) Unstable, not nearly enough experience of Star Wars (hasn't even seen all the films!!!), and not only that, she gets grumpy on Sunday nights.  A bad choice all round -- Sannse 12:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Optional candidate Q&A

 * 1) Why do you think we need another bureaucrat?
 * It's not so much about needing a bureaucrat, in my opinion. I'm fairly certain we could do perfectly fine with only one bureaucrat on this site (we have very few RFAs). Instead, I think it's about trust. Do you trust me with bureaucrat powers? If so, vote support.
 * 1) How do you see the difference between an admin and a bureaucrat?
 * There is little difference. Bureaucrats are quite simply admins with the power to promote people to administrators.
 * 1) What will you use your new status for if your nomination succeeds?
 * Not much. I will basically hand out rollback, admin and bureaucrat powers to successful nominees.
 * 1) How many admins do you think we need?
 * If a user is worthy, and fulfills the requirements, I think he or she should be made an admin, regardless of the current number of sysops.
 * 1) How many bureaucrats do you think we need?
 * The same as with admins. Although I think we should be more careful with handing out this power, as removing administratorship can only be done by Wikia staff.
 * 1) How often do you think bureaucrats should use their veto power on RFA?
 * Whenever they feel that the nominee doesn't fulfill the requirements, or is likely to abuse his or her powers. -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 18:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) New question for Imperialles: What should happen to admins/bureaucrat candidates who disappear for awhile without warning, leaving many questions, projects, and that sort of thing hanging? ;-)
 * We should have patience with them. Their absence is likely due to reasons beyond their control. As for me, my absence was due to the fact that I had a job that required me to leave for weeks at a time. I no longer have that job. -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 20:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
