SmashWiki:Requests for adminship

This page documents an official SmashWiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page.

This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.

Rules & Regulations

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.
Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. 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 do better editing.
Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how s/he would handle it.
If a user has been blocked for any reason (except an IP auto-block or a wrong button click), s/he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until s/he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.

Toon Ganondorf

I am an avid lover of the Super Smash brothers series and Wiki. In my short time in this wiki I have contributed (and hopefully improved) nearly 219 articles. I have also written three articles myself; Replaced Characters, Riolu and Turtwig. I have good relations with a lot of the users on this Wiki, and I feel that new users would have no problem coming to me for help. I have dealt with vandalism from users and rude attacks on other users from a contributor who I shall not name. I was not able to block this user myself and it is this that inspired me to become a user. As a sysop I would get rid of the people that make hurtful attacks on users, clean the vandalism, write as many of the Wanted pages as possible and merge others. I would love to become an admin and I hope that you will consider my application. --Toon Ganondorf ^CHAT 07:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Cheezperson

Hello, I'm Cheezperson (you may know me as cheez), and I'd be an ideal administrator for this wiki. One may ask why, and I will tell you.

I'm active

I come here every day at least once (usually at least 4 times) unless I'm out of town.

I'm mature

Some of you may disagree with this one, but I do mean srs bsns when the time arises. I'd rather not reveal my age here, but I can assure eeveryone, I'm not a little kid.

I'm friendly and easy to get along with

This really isn't a big issue with becoming a sysop, but I believe it is a good quality. I have argued with some of the users here (namely Clarinet hawk and Shadowcrest), but it was just simple debating matters. I have made no enemies here, and I don't plan to. Don't get me wrong, if someone vandalizes an article, I'll take action, but I'll use my blocking powers only when necessary.

I'm a very helpful contributor and user

This is my edit count, and as of when I'm typing this, I have 1300 edits. The majority of them come from about 400 edits in the mainspace and about 450 additions to various user talk pages. Some of my more important edits include:

The table and descriptions on the Crowd Favorite page
The cleanup of the Home stage page (in process)
The trophy information and cleanup of trophy pages (chiefly Treecko)
The creation of numerous pages, including Linebeck .
The addition of info in some of the Subspace Emissary cutscenes

The list goes on and on, and it will keep going!

I'm trustworthy

Users have asked me for help when they need something in the past, and I'm sure everyone can trust me as a sysop. I have the wiki's best interests at heart, and have learned a lot from everyone who has talked to me about how things work here. I am also an Eagle Scout, who follows the Scout Oath and Law (just roll with it if you don't know what I'm talking about). One part of the Scout Law is trustowrthy, so it is my duty to serve as a trustworthy person, or else I am going back on an oath I took, and I would never, ever do that.

As for the reasons why I, personally want to be a sysop, they may surprise you. My number one reason is to gain the ability to merge and delete pages. I feel small and insignificant when I have to ask people to do things for me, so I'm taking action. As for how I would use my other powers (mainly the power to block), I would use them according to the rules. I will NOT favor certain users over others, and I will ignore any negative comments about , or about my association, with the Aftermath Dynasty. Everyone here has friends, we just happen to call ourselves a crew.

Anyways, this request is long enough, and I really hope that all of you will accept my request and put me in the position that I deserve. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 07:44, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
