If you think that another user would make a good administrator, then you can try convincing them to nominate themselves. You cannot make a nomination on behalf of another user. |
| * All new nominees should post their name below as a in a level 3 header (<nowiki>===Username===</nowiki>). Underneath, the user should state why he/she would like to become an administrator. Posting examples of notable work that the nominee has contributed is highly encouraged. | | * Candidates should describe why the wiki should want them to be administrators, not why they want to be administrators on the wiki. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to better contribute to the wiki beyond banal janitorial work. |
| * Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so underneath the person requesting adminship.

| * After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage. | | * Selections of administrators are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Indeed, a bureaucrat may decide against the "popular vote" if they believe the opposing side has provided more convincing arguments, or that the candidate has failed to satisfactorily respond to questions about their merits, and RfAs have been failed in the past that technically had a majority of the "votes" being supportive. |
| | * When supporting or opposing a candidate, provide good and well-written reasons as to why you support or oppose the candidate. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should/should not become an administrator carry far more weight than a simple support/oppose. Additionally, attaching intensifiers to your support/oppose (e.g. saying you ''strongly support'' the candidate) will not make your "vote" carry any more weight. |
| | * The candidate, or any other user, are allowed to respond to any other user's "vote", and are encouraged to, if a user has stated something factually incorrect in their reasoning or has otherwise said anything else refutable. Such replies should be written in the comments section, rather than directly replying to the user's "vote", so that the "voting" sections can be kept clean. Additionally, while the candidate and other users are encouraged to refute another user's reasoning when applicable, it should be within reason; a candidate or staunch supporter who tries shoddily refuting everyone that opposes will likely just worsen their case and bolster the opposition. |
| | * [[SW:RB|Rollback status]] is not required for a successful RfA, and a candidate having rollback will not make their case for adminship any stronger. Users who do not have rollback and only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be directed towards the [[SW:RFR|appropriate request]]. |
| | * [[SW:EST|Established status]] is also not required for a successful RfA, but users who haven't been around long enough or haven't contributed enough to be established will likely have little support unless they have quickly proven themselves extraordinary. |
| | ** [[SW:AUTO|Autoconfirmed status]], however, ''is required'', and a user will not even be able to create an RfA if they are not autoconfirmed. |
| | * Upon request, a prospective administrator may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how s/he would handle it. |
| | * Users that have been blocked in the past, or who have previously made an RfA and failed, are no less eligible for adminship. However, such users should be able to demonstrate how they have improved since the block/previous RfA, lest their RfA find serious opposition. |
| | * Former administrators that have been [[SW:RFD|formally demoted by a RfD]] are similarly no less eligible for adminship, but will certainly face stalwart opposition to their RfA if they are unable to demonstrate serious reformation since their demotion. Former administrators that were demoted for [[SW:ADMIN#Retired|inactivity or formally retiring]] but wish to regain sysop powers are also eligible for adminship, but may be able to skip the RfA process entirely if the current active administration feels they are still clearly well-suited for the role. |

| | If you have not had a request for adminship page before, follow this two-step process. |
| Hello all my Smashwiki friends. I am a vivid editor named Oxico and I have been hoping to gain sysop power since I came here. Some things I have done include editing all character articles by adding the '''Special Movements''' sections and heavily editing most movesets. I also have helped pick out and weed alot of, shall I say, faulty information in the articles. However, I have always wanted the ability to delete unneccesarry pages.

|
| Though I may be young compared to other users who were nominated for Sysop, I have much desire to fufill this role. When I first joined last December, I thought the Wiki needed no help. It looked fine, and I didn't think my help was needed. I started looking through the pages, and I saw some information I had not seen anywhere else on one of the character pages. I looked every place where valid Smash Bros. information was, but could not find a good source to back the information. So, I edited it out and called it speculation. I did this to many different pages, and soon, I was an avid editor. When Final Smash information was leaked, I created many of the Final Smash pages. I also calculated the damage for every Final Smash. I also made sure all character articles were treated equally. they must all look the same way, to keep order. My crowning jewel, I believe is the '''Special Movements''' sections on every character's article in SSBB. The sections took me a long time, as I had to find out much information in other videos for [[On-Screen Appearance]]s and the like. Most information on the ''On-Screen Appearance'' page and [[Taunt]] page.

| :'''Neutral'''. While everything that Oxico has done has been quite good, I've only seen him working in very specific areas of the wiki. I also have not seen him doing any of the house keeping on the wiki such as marking articles for cleanup or labeling stubs. More of this would help his case, as would simply more editing in general. However, his contributions to character animations do show dedication and I don't feel that he would abuse the tools if he were given them.

You can tell he has great passion towards this site, especially once you see his contributions. He'd make a good sysop in my opinion.

| GalaxiaD recommended I check this out. It would be nice to be able to do things like protect pages, block users, merge pages etc., I'm just not sure how much time I can devote to this. Maybe I just need a little more information. I have many positive comments on my talk page, and I always check for vandalism/errors in the late hours, but I'm never here on any particular schedule, and I know I've made some hasty edits in the past. Also I won't be able to edit any SSB articles since I don't have it, and since I usually do this from my Wii, major edits at would require copying and pasting may prove difficult, given how bad my PC is. However, I do play often, and I am very good with the smaller edits like spelling and grammar, even if I'm unlikely to write entire articles or edit specific data such as character matchups, character history, or fan-games. Well, now that I think of it, this isn't a very convincing argument towards my adminship...hmm. Well maybe if others agree, I can find out what is required. - [[User:Gargomon251|Gargomon251]] ([[User talk:Gargomon251|talk]]) 01:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

| |
| Once again I am running for the sysop nomination. I hope I could become a sysop because of the massive amounts of time I am on wikia. I know a lot bout all three games and own the startegy guides. I am always decribed as creative and outgoing. That is why you have seen me more obn lately. Once my school lets out can come online all the time and contribute to the already great Super Smash Bros Wikia! I want to be able to ban/block someone for spamming or doing other non-appropriate things on articles. I have been here since march and I know my way around the site. I upload pictures and find and flush out baddies. If you ask me this is the new Improved Zmario. Zmario v0.2 BABY!

Sure, he may have once personally attacked others and made joke pages, but I believe he has changed. He has acquired responsibility, a trait that is very important for adminship. Heck, I believe it to be a requisite. We can all learn to forgive and forget, right? Zmario has admitted that he's a new person, and his contributions have grown. Let's give him the power of adminship. - [[User:GalaxiaD|GalaxiaD]] ([[User talk:GalaxiaD|talk]]) 18:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

| '''Oppose''' - You already applied, failed and were banned in the interim. Since, you have demonstrated little more than the ability to cater your contributions to avoid being banned again. And somehow, you don't know how to use a talk page to keep a discussion all in one place either. How did we end up with MULTIPLE people applying for SysOp positions who don't understand how to hold a conversation through utilizing a simple user tool like the watchlist? Honestly, do you people even know what a SysOp is? Why do you want this position, really? What good is it going to do you in your day-to-day SmashWiki contributions? It's not even worth it for me to spend this time writing an opposing voice on the issue, but there's so many people who come on here with a shoddy application that doesn't really say anything and then they go around to all their buddies and ask "hey, come comment on my sysop thing." And of course, not wanting to be rude, they blindly follow the orders and drop in to say "Support - he makes good edits" without the slightest idea of what a SysOp even is. It just gives me a headache. Please, focus on your work as a user--if you're an enthusiastic editor, odds are you'd be better off learning how to use the buttons you already have without having to worry about a bunch of extra ones that could end up breaking the entire wiki in the wrong hands. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 20:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

| |
| Hello everyone. I'm Pikamander2. I have been editing SmashWiki for nearly a year now. Many of my edits are cleanup or reverting <span class="explain" title="I can't stand that vandalism">vandalism.</span>
| |
| I have never really thought of becoming a sysop, until the subject [[User talk:Pikamander2#MAHALO|was mentioned on my talk page]]. After that, I thought, "Well, why not? I suppose that I could give it a try."
| |
| | |
| Here are a few reasons why I believe that I should become a sysop:
| |
| *I contribute nearly every day
| |
| *I never use foul language, on regular or talk pages
| |
| *I use real good grammar and speling 99% of the time
| |
| *I don't melt or get angry under pressure.
| |
| | |
| So, what does everyone think?
| |
| | |
| * '''Neutral'''. You don't go into much detail or explain what you're going to do once you acquire adminship. Your contributions so far have been pretty good, though.

| The desire to achieve adminship has been tearing at me for a few days now, so I decided to give this a shot. I usually don't speak much about wanting to be a sysop, since I'm not what people would consider as an ambitious person. Indeed, power is not what I crave. I want to become an admin in order to help people. I've helped many people over my lifetime, and I believe that the powers of admin can further help me achieve this goal.
| |
| | |
| I first joined this great Wiki on April 17, 2008. I may have only been here for two months, but the number of contributions I've made to this site helps make up for that. Early in my editing career, I posted strategies on the "Meta Knight Match-Ups" page. I posted situational match-ups for every character. Every single one. That article has since disappeared, but I felt like I truly provided a great service to those looking to main Meta Knight. After a few weeks of inactivity, I started contributing more actively, and I have since cleaned up a lot of spelling and punctuation errors on many articles. I've also discovered some glitches in Brawl, and have posted them where appropriate. My most recent edit of somewhat notable acclaim is that I made a "Changes from N64 to Melee" section on every veteran's Melee page. This was an attempt to maintain consistency, as every veteran had a "Changes from Melee to Brawl" section on their Brawl pages. I believed it was the right thing to do.
| |
| | |
| As far as the Smash series goes, I am very knowledgable of it, and I have owned every installment since the original on N64. Therefore, I could make many edits that make logical sense to most people. I am also quite skilled, though it doesn't exactly pertain to my run for adminship. I am a supporter of tiers, and I have developed a well thought-out theory of their existence. This won't win me any points with anti-tiers, but it is still a notable asset.
| |
| | |
| As for what I would do if I achieved adminship, it would be great to protect pages, block vandals, and delete joke pages. Delivering the Iron Fist of Justice upon vandals is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I love this site, and I just hate those who would want to ruin it. Also, some people end up getting blocked by mistake (usually because of IP Address issues). Since I survey this site every day, I could quickly lift someone's ban if they accidently got blocked for no reason.
| |

| The traits that define me most are intelligence, honor, and professionalism. I type in a very professional manner, and I hardly ever make spelling, capitalization, or punctuation errors. My 3.6 GPA in high school further reflects my intelligence, and if I used it to its full potential, I feel like I could really get some work done here.

| Overall, becoming an admin means to me that I could help those in need and make this site (and to a smaller extent, the world) a better place. To help is my intention, not to hurt or abuse my power. I would love to become a role model to people, and as hard as I've worked, I wouldn't want this dream to go up in smoke. The hard work I've done, and the hard work I'm going to do, made this site better, but now I'm ready for the next level. Please support me, for in the long run, you certainly won't regret it. Thank you. - [[User:GalaxiaD|GalaxiaD]] ([[User talk:GalaxiaD|talk]]) 02:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

| '''Oppose''' Absolutely not. Though very enthusiastic, he has very little concept of the operational side of a wiki and spends the bulk of his contributions in the forum namespace and talk pages (which he also doesn't know how to use correctly; it's as though he doesn't realize that the watchlist exists). In the main namespace, GalaxiaD has '''less than 100 edits'''. Additionally, he's gone around suggesting to other users that ''they'' should nominate themselves for SysOp without having the slightest idea of what that entails or what qualities and skills would even be appropriate for an administrative figurehead in the wiki community. The fact that there is such a strong showing of support based on NOTHING relevant to the job is an excellent example of why this nomination page should not have comments from the general user base at all. Otherwise, anyone could rally all their friends together to show "support" for bringing people into the administrative fold who don't even know what a template is, can't explain how to fix a double redirect and don't know the difference between deleting a page and deleting its contents. It's great that you don't want to abuse your power and it's great that you want to help, but you can't live life on good intentions and before you worry about your "dreams going up in smoke," you have to realize that you're playing with fire that you don't understand. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 18:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

| '''Weak Oppose'''. I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Randal here. While what you have done in the main namespace has been good, it is few and far between. I mostly see you frequenting the forums and talk spaces, and rarely see you doing the housekeeping that is needed such as marking pages for cleanup, merge, or deletion. Mostly, I would just say to give it more time. You've only been here for two months. I know I was considered new for becoming a sysop after being here for ''eight'' months and having over 500 edits. Keep up what you've been doing and show some dedication to the housekeeping of the wiki and come back in a few months.

| '''Strong Support''' You were one of the first people on this wikia i saw editing (Hence I'm even newer than you). You make great contributions daily. You let your anger get the better of you sometimes, but than you apologize and revert the rampage. [[User:JtM|JtM]] ([[User talk:JtM|talk]]) 22:35, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

| I have wanted to be an admin since the day I first came. I think that I should be an admin because i edit pages, clean articles, and de-stub stubs. I feel that I would make a good admin because I never vandilize pages. Yes, I have made a few mistakes, but I will never do them again. I also think that SmashWiki is a wikia, not a place to be making joke pages. So I would delete joke pages. Also, no spam page would get through me. And pages with bad content or added bad content will be fized or deleted when I'm around. I would make SmashWiki a better place. I would ban all that make a joke page, spam, or nonsense. I make a lot of contributions, and i'm on a lot.
| |
| | |
| I would crush all the offensive content in the fist of steel, if i had it. I would make SmashWiki perfect, and if it becomes imperfect again, I will perfect it.
| |
| | |
| If you support me, that is a good choice. do you want an admin that would always keep joke pages on? Of course not! Thats why I'm the best choice. You choose me, you did not choose wrong.
| |
| | |
| Becoming an admin means a lot to me. It's better for me, admins, users, and SmashWiki. Vote for ParaGoomba348!

| :'''Major Oppose:''' You joined SmashWiki '''about 9 days ago''', and you have only made '''33 edits''' to the Main namespace. Also, in my opinion, the few edits that you have made just aren't that great. Try again after you make about a thousand more edits, and after a few months have passed. <span style="color:#4CBB17">--Posted by</span> [[User:Pikamander2|<span style="color:#007FFF">Pikamander2</span>]] <small>[[User Talk:Pikamander2|<span style="color:#007FFF">(Talk)</span>]]</small> at 02:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

| '''Strong Oppose'''. You just haven't been here long enough. Your first edit was on June the 12<sup>th</sup> and there have not been that many since then. I understand that you don't like joke pages, but all of the admins currently working here don't like joke pages. Not only have you barely been on this wiki, you do not demonstrate how you standout from other users to be deserving of sysop privileges. Given the circumstances of this user, I'm going to move for a '''Speedy Close''' on this nomination.

| '''Oppose'''! this was almost strong but because of what edits you have made they seem quite good. I can see you going places on this site, but you have been here for only 10 days. TEN DAYS. And you apparentely put this up on your 9th day. Again although you are one of my friends, it is just FAR TO EARLY for you to become a sysop. Maybe in a couple of months and next time you might get a support. Maybe will be a hit then! [[User:Kperfekt722|Kperfekt722]] ([[User talk:Kperfekt722|talk]]) 07:38, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
