SmashWiki:Requests for adminship
This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.
Rules
- Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
- All new nominees should post their name below as a in a level 3 header (===Username===). 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.
- 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.

I believe I should be a sysop for the following reasons:
- Contributes Everyday
- Fills in Universe & Character Info
- Uploaded Many Pictures
- Made Almost all of the Event Matches
- I am a very helpful person
- I discuss my ideas
- I do not use profanity much (not even at all)
- Updates Music, Sticker, and Trophies info
If you ask, I'd say I'd be a good canidate for a sysop. Ask around. I'm sure people will vouch for me. KazMx knows that I update alot, ask him! Thanks for your time and consideration for reading this. Even if i don't get sysop status I will still do my part to help smash fans everywhere :).
- I strongly oppose giving this user any administrative powers. Not to be a bitch, but this user's contributions are a regular nuisance and I often have to go back and clean up after them. Many pages created by this user end up getting deleted. I mean, it's not all bad contributions, but there's too many iffy ones to let me think that it's a good idea to make this user an admin/sysop.

- I'll go with neutral, leaning oppose: I'm not sure the candidate wants the tools for the right reasons... --Sky (t · c · w) 06:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to oppose, doesn't seem like the right time or reason. --Charitwo 04:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Thrusting neck out there (blame this guy!). I know how to edit, I edit in an effort to improve the wiki, and am proficient in the variety of "other stuff to edit;" ie, skinning, as well as templates and tables.
I want the tools simply because my niche is not that of content writer, but that of content maintainer. My reports on IRC, which KirbyKing or Charitwo will confirm, have aided in blocking IPs which have decided they don't want to edit in a positive manner; having the tools would allow me to skip that step. There are protected pages which I'd like to be able to tweak with items and methods from other wikis (ie, Wikipedia). The delete button figures into this; I'm fairly certain I have a lot of deleted contributions, and would like to skip the step of tagging something for speedy deletion. Furthermore, I know how to perform history merges, which would be especially helpful in finishing off Special:Prefixindex/SmashWiki:Merge pages.
When dealing with other users in general (especially those which have the tendency toward the argumentative), I prefer to assume good faith on their part, and ask the question of "what's going on" to "hey you, stop." That said, if someone is editing on the border between "good" and "bad" edits, I'll bring another party or two into question to see if my assumptions are correct; if they are obviously editing in bad faith, I bring harsh punishment to the table.
With me, I bring experience editing and administrating WoWWiki, with over 15,000 contributions to that project, as well as some 2,000 deletions.
The only possible disqualifier I can think of (I'm sure there are more...) is that I have a low edit count. I would agree, my edit count here also seems low to me also, but feel free to peruse my contributions at WoWWiki to ascertain my ability to edit. Furthermore, Charitwo assures me that he was promoted with less contributions than I have currently, but that doesn't mean much to me, as he was promoted at a different time in this wiki's history, which means it had different needs.
For the tl;dr people, I think I'm a good candidate for adminship. Please don't just vote for me; vote for/against me with reasons also. --Sky (t · c · w) 03:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- I vouch for pretty much everything said here, and edit count means nothing. It's quality over quantity. Support --Charitwo 04:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- I Oppose. I need to see what this user is capable of and what he has fixed before I change my mind. Zmario 13:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
