Riordan Wiki:Requests for Adminship

This is the page where formal requests for administratorship are recorded and archived. An explanation of what sysop rights are can be found below the list of admins at Project:Administrators.

Currently, requests for adminship are open.

Requirements
There are no concrete requirements for a user to be an admin. However, admins will usually:
 * Have a very strong history of contributions (including the content namespace), though quality is more important than quantity
 * Be trusted by the community
 * Have no history of serious blocks due to vandalism or sockpuppetry

Procedures

 * Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
 * Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of RfA and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
 * Users must have rollback rights to be nominated for adminship.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves for adminship.
 * 2) Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same RfA)
 * 3) There will only be one request at a time. A decision will be made on the current request (change/no change) before the next request is considered.

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may vote in support, be neutral, or oppose the adminship nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
 * 2) Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
 * 3) The vote will last for two weeks.
 * 4) Bureaucrats may close votes early at their discretion if the applicant is obviously unsuitable with no chance of succeeding. Voters may also request this if they believe the applicant has no chance of succeeding.
 * 5) At the end of the two weeks, the active Bureaucrat will determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that admin requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.

Shadowviper
I may not fit all the criteria but I have memorized all of the books, I have created another wiki, and I'm not saying that y'all have to make me an admin... I just haven't been one for a wiki other than mine. Shadowviper 20:02, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive
I've been on this site for almost five months now and I believe that I have put in a lot of work into the articles on this site. I also spend at least 2 or 3 hours a day going through edits made by unknown users (wiki contributors) and account users that try and ruin perfectly good pages with vandalism which causes problems for everyone. I'm the kind of person that can't understand why someone would try to make things difficult for everyone else just to get a cheap laugh. I also help out a lot of new users to the site with easy to understand directions with timely feedback. I'm sure that if you asked some of the people I talk to on this site, they would say that I am perfect for the job. Thank you for your time, Darkcloud1111  ~Fastest Hero Alive  20:49, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Moodle
I've been on this site for around four months and I put a lot of effort into helping correct grammar mistakes and more. I help correct bad or "not-as-good-quality" edits by users and wikia contributors alike. I've dealt with many cases of vandalism and have dealed with more cases than I can remember and have taken action like putting warning templates. I also am nice to new users and try as often as possible to greet them. Also, I have rollback rights and have not misused them. I also have a clean record, with no blocks. So that's why I think I pass Adminship qualifications. Thank you for your time for reading this, Moodle You wanna talk to me??? 23:05, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

TheGhostMan
I've been on the wiki for a couple months and have dealt with many rude wikia contributors and helped clear up questions about the wiki rules mainly concerning the fan art rule and speculation. In many of the fights that have sparked up on the wikia i have been the mediator for them. I am nice to the new users when they come on but do bring down the hammer if they break the rules multiple times. I believe i pass the Adminship qualifications. Thanks for listening, I'm returning to the underworld till i hear from you TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 02:47, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree with and support TheGhostMan. Ricorum (talk &bull; contribs) 03:02, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * isupport him too(with the entire of Atlantis behind me) PerseusJackson -Leader and Protector of all Demigods  13:19, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * i agree, he will do a great job. Good luck in whatever you do, whether you&#39;re on a quest or just editing a page. -Courtney (talk &bull; contribs) 00:23, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * So do I, but please give him rollback rights please.  Athletiger Talk 04:20, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree. Recently, on two different articles I have disagreed with him on certain edits. Each time I
 * have tried to start discussion on the talk page to try and find a compromise or give each of us a chance to explain our position. He did not either time. Instead he simply reverted my edits without even a comment explaning why. EDIT:  After reflection I have come to realize that of three reverts he did leave a comment on the second one.  He also, for a reason unknown to me, left one on the Zeus talk page in a discussion about another matter.  In my previous haste I admit I overlooked these.  However, the first I did not understand his reasoning and voiced so.  I even asked him to try and talk about it on the Ares talk page.  He did not.  I would think being an administrator would require a degree of patience to try and explain things to people or at least cite th policy.  He called what I was doing a bad edit, but for reason I have explained elsewhere that are not related to this I had reason to believe they were not.  Despite this he was unwilling to discuss the matter with me. Seekquaze1 (talk &bull; contribs) 04:01, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would like like to bring the matter up that after having a difference of opinion with TheGhostMan that has been brought to the attention of several administrators and after lodging a complaint here he went to my talk page and yelled at me and engaged in name calling. I do not believe this is behavior and editor should engage in.
 * However, I will also say afterwords he went to my page and apologized and I accept it. It could be he is just having an bad day and it not like this normally. It is also possible he only did so due to a fear of being denied becoming an administrator. Which it is I leave up to those who decide such things. Seekquaze1 (talk &bull; contribs) 04:37, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree with Seekquaze1 on the following reasons:
 * if it is wrong info it should be deleted.....nothing else is needed
 * he did comment
 * you said you would not mind in the talk page....if teh top editors reverted it........what is the prob now?
 * i deleted some and you did not tell me anything
 * in myths he was sometimes a coward sometimes a hero.......contradictory
 * read the canon policy......books not myths
 * he did comment
 * you said you would not mind in the talk page....if teh top editors reverted it........what is the prob now?
 * i deleted some and you did not tell me anything
 * in myths he was sometimes a coward sometimes a hero.......contradictory
 * read the canon policy......books not myths

I have been working with TheGhostMan for a while, and I think he deserves adminship. Thebiguglyalien ( Yell at me here ) 02:21, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
