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.

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
 * Have a high or above average level of technical knowledge in web development, notably in HTML5 and CSS3, Wikitext, and preferably JavaScript.

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 administrator rights.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves for administrator rights.
 * 2) Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same RfA)
 * 3) There can be more than one request at a time. However, a user can't nominate more than one user at a time (e.g. A can't nominate B and C).

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may vote in support, be neutral, or oppose the administrator rights 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 until there is enough feedback to decide.
 * 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) Once there is enough feedback, 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.

Current Requests
Currently, requests for administrator rights are: Open.

Thesonofneptune101
I would like to nominate myself for adminship. I have over 5,362 edits and I'm one of our most active users. I sometimes myself need to be corrected but I'm also one of the people always making pages and I revert bad edits on a daily basis. I am highly liked by the community and I think I would be a good admin. SoN  ~ My Swag is better than yours  21:52, January 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) I vote for Thesonofneptune101. All of the candidates have great arguments, but SoN has definitely done a lot for the wiki and I know him the best. Good luck to everyone! tankburger1235 (talk &bull; contribs) 23:29, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I would like to nominate myself for Adminship. I have been on this wiki for over a year and have 2,000+ edits. I'll admit that over this time I've made some mistakes, but I believe I have learned from them and became a better editor. My edit strength is strong, and I have no history of blocks. Throughout my time here I have avoided any sort of altercation, and I would be able to continue this as an Admin. I think that in the case of wiki disputes I would be able to settle them fairly and impartially. I believe I would be able to make a positive contribution to the wiki as an Admin.

Hi. Hyperborean has stated that "we desperately need at least one more active sysop. I often find myself reverting bad edits or vandalism that sometimes can date back up to a few days". I would like to nominate myself for this position because I believe that I can do more as an admin, and that my skills are wasted as a chat mod and rollback. I have been a member of this wiki for almost 3 years, and have created over 100 pages, as well as over 1700 quality edits, added more than 300 articles to categories, and have added more that 700 pictures.

I was formerly Senior B-crat of this wiki for a long time, and I have alot of experience as an admin, B-crat, and sysop. One of my wikis (The Sucker Punch Wiki) was chosen by Wikia as the March 2011 Wiki of the Month. They said that it was really well made, and offered to do a give-away, which drew over 5,000 entrants in one week. Former admins/b-crats such as The avatar, Ballistic Pve, and Thebiguglyalien can vouch for me. Some interesting facts are that iv'e given rights to the following: Athletiger, Menara, and Darkcloud1111. I use to also be head counselor of several cabins (We use to have those!), namely the Ares cabin, which was in charge of controlling vandalism.

Again, I'd just like to say that I am qualified, have done this before, and know what is expected of an admin on this wiki. I will stay above drama and petty squabbles, and, if elected, will settle disputes swiftly and fairly. I hope you will vote for me, if you agree with what I have written above. Thank You --Vgfsirius (talk &bull; contribs) 19:54, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
