Wookieepedia:Requests for adminship

This page is for requests for adminship.

You may:
 * Nominate yourself;
 * Nominate another Wookieepedian (please ensure they accept the nomination first)

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.

There are some basic things to consider when nominating a fellow Wookieepedian (or yourself) for adminship.

 * 9) Bureaucrats' votes must be unanimous for adminship to be accepted.
 * 10) Additionaly, the nominee may be asked a series of questions by users. While it is not required to answer them, it is strongly encouraged.

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.)


 * OK, just kidding about the last two. :-) -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

K1 Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party? Kuralyov 00:19, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I1 What's more important to you: consensus or policy? --Imp 00:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Kuralyov 03:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Cull Tremayne 01:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC) - I think he's matured quite a bit since the first time he nominated himself.
 * 3) I think Jasca deserves this. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Jasca's been around for a while, but not really "admin material" in my opinion. Sorry dude, no offense. Nice job on the current Battles recategorization though. --Azizlight 02:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Aziz. Havac 04:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Agree with the above. Sorry mate. (Ulicus 17:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC))
 * 4) Don't think so. Editing an archived discussion and the inability to count votes do not an admin make. .  .  .  .  23:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) After much consideration, he's just not involved enough community wise. A long history does not always mean good admin material. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 6) Sorry man. I agree with what the above users say though. Chack Jadson 01:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Neutral/Comments

 * Are self-noms valid? Cull Tremayne 17:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes they are. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 18:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed they are. I nominated myself when running for adminship. - Sikon 05:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Jasca, if I may ask, I haven't seen you around the community a whole much- i.e. CT threads, FA, IDrive, Senate Hall, WOTM. Is this a correct assessment of your activities? If so, is there a reason for this? How, if you think it does, does that figure into your RFA? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 01:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes sorry. This isn't the only wiki i'm invloved with at the moment. And to be honest i've never really been involved that much with forum and the such. As for FA and WOTM, i only really get involved if i see something i think is worth voting for, i check their respective pages quite often.

Neutral/comments
She has accepted being nominated for adminship, see her talk page. --Imp 21:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * An extremely helpful user, invaluable contributer to FA and IDRIVE, and very courteous. .  .  .  .  21:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Breathesgelatin has done an excellent job on FA and IDrive rankings, among other things. She is deserving of the administrator position just so she can more easily handle those. On the other hand, I would like to see how she answers G.He's questions that were placed above. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 03:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
