Editing SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Disaster Flare

{{Rfa close|failed|It's close, but ultimately I have to say "not yet" to this proposal. Candidate is certainly on the right track in pretty much all ways, but based on the response from the userbase, is just not there yet.

''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.''<br>

Well...where do I begin? I may have only been on SmashWiki for a year, but this isn't my first wiki. The first one I joined was Bulbapedia under the name Pokedex493 (I still have the account, but I'm not as active on there anymore) back in 2011, around the time when Pokemon Black and White information was starting to be revealed. I had learned a lot in those years I spent on there, and when I joined SmashWiki in 2014, I took those skills with me, and did my best to apply it when needed. Additionally, I tried out to be a Junior Administrator on Bulbapedia back in 2012, and I had qualified for all categories except one: edit count. After I submitted my application, I worked hard and eventually did reach the edit count they required, but it was too late and that was the sole reason I wasn't accepted.

While I haven't made extremely large contributions to SmashWiki, some notable things I've done were add the trophy descriptions to all SSB4 Assist Trophy, Poke Ball summons, and plain character pages that still needed them. Personality-wise, I can be a very nice person, trying my best to be nice to everyone, no matter how disrespectful they're being, and if an argument were to take place, then I'm always willing to listen to both sides of an argument before I make a decision, and if I can't decide, then that's when I'd ask otherss for their opinions and figure it out from there.

I'm aware the most recent of people who tried out were mainly doing it for stopping vandals, but that's not what adminship is about, we can still stop them just fine with the tools we already have as it is. We choose to want to become admins (or at least I did) because I have faith in this community and I want to better help solve disputes, I want to make sure everyone feels safe on the wiki and I want to make sure that disputes/arguments don't ruin anyone's time on here. All of you have always been extremely helpful toward me, been there for me when I needed it, and I'm even making friends here, and I want to better help this community continue to grow, I want people to be encouraged to come to SmashWiki and look to us for the information they're searching for. If there's anything else you were expecting from this, hopefully you will find what you're looking for from my contributions and my edit count, and if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll answer as soon as possible. Thanks everyone for reading and I wish everyone the best of luck in their future contributions to the wiki.

# '''Support'''. You are a good rollbacker from what I can tell, but why are you applying for adminship? Yes, I do think you will be a good (Not excellent) admin, that would be average with conflict resolution.

#:Well, it's something I've wanted to try for a few years now. I wanted to try again on Bulbapedia, but they only let people try out when they have openings. I dunno, SmashWiki feels more open about it if you ask me, and I think I could learn a lot more in an admin position that I can't normally learn in my current state.

#:'''Switching to Very, VERY Strong Support.''' You're probably the best dispute handler on the wiki.

#'''Weak Support''': Your answer was, in my opinion, satisfactory. I do like lenience in newer users, especially if they are being harassed anyway. I am convinced of your dispute handling skills at this time. You've also increased your edit count...but in doing so, you've fallen down the one pitfall that prevents this from being a full support: Many of your edits are the same, short, simple, edit applied to a group of pages. Try going for more substantial things. I would like to see some page and template creation out of you too before fully supporting this. But hey, you've budged me twice, and trust me, that's not a typically easy thing to do. I tend to stand firm. Well done and best of luck. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:56, 9 November 2015 (EST)
#:Thank you, while I will agree that most of my edits are like that, one thing I struggle with is finding ways I can make substantial edits (Though one such example of a way I have done it is on the Pokémon Universe page, though it does need cleaning up most likely). Another thing I struggle with is finding new pages I can create or creating a template that actually can and will be helpful to the wiki, so I try my best to look around for ways to help.

#'''Oppose''': I took a look through your history, and you don't seem to have any blemishes on your record. However, I'm not particularly impressed either; I only managed to find a few instances of you getting involved in a conflict or talking about a proposal, and I didn't see you add anything really substantial nor anything that really demonstrates the strength of your judgement. You don't appear to be a bad candidate, you may even be one of the better candidates at the moment, but a wiki shouldn't ever promote on a "why not?" basis, and I need to be convinced you gaining adminship would benefit the wiki beyond just giving it another person to ban vandals and take out the trash. I'm open to being convinced differently if you want to try. [http://www.ssbwiki.com/User_talk:Disaster_Flare/Archive_2#So_I_noticed_the_bit_on_your_userpage_about_being_stressed_out_over_your_RfA However], I suggest you not stressing yourself out so hard to "prove yourself", do not let the wiki consume you and do not put it at such a high priority for yourself, if you're capable of being admin it will show soon enough. One more thing for everyone else, edit count means absolutely nothing for one admin's capabilities, it should never be an argument for nor against someone. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 08:49, 14 November 2015 (EST)
#:I first want to apologize for not getting to this sooner, I meant to but things came up. Anyway, I want to start by agreeing with most of the things you've said, yes I don't make a point to be more part in conflict resolution or proposals. I would give you my word saying I would become a bigger part, but I know my word just won't cut it, and you need visual evidence before you can trust what I say. I will say however that I definitely want to be more part of things like that, there's just the matter of being at the right place at the right time, but I always try to scout the RC for anything I can help out with, whether it be vandals, expanding upon articles, uploading images, etc. Even when I'm not logged in, I still have a tendency to scout the RC just in case, that way I can quickly log in if something's wrong. I will also say that yes, while I was stressed about my RfA and about proving myself at first, in the process I have learned when I need to back off from the wiki, and I try to not let it take over my life. Now, probably the question you're wondering most: "Why do you think you would make a worthy admin?"
#:Not that it would help sway your opinions at all, but one quality that really helps out is that I tend to be on longer during the day than the admins, even to really late at night. This is due to the fact that I'm a night owl, and I prefer to stay up at night to help me think better, which helps especially with articles. Now, this does not mean it consumes my life, as I also use any quiet time to take a break and work on my webcomic or something. I also know that I don't exactly have the experience you're looking for, but whether this RfA passes or fails, I still want to improve. Serpent King's already teaching me more advanced code so I can better help around the wiki. He's been a very valuable mentor to me and I'm happy to work with him. I know your main concern is me just being another janitor. Heck, even I don't want that, and I've been trying hard to make sure that it doesn't. Like, okay, so even when I'm offline, I'm still working in a way, not just because I'd still be patrolling the RC, but also because I tend to work on drafts for things while I'm offline, or use it to think about creating my first template and what it would be. I want to improve, not just for the wiki, but for myself as well, and even if the application does fail, I'll take what I've learned from you and everyone else and use it to figure out what I need to improve on before I should make another attempt, that way I don't accidentally make a new one too soon, only to make a complete fool of myself. But again, I know just my word alone won't cut it, which is why I'll keep doing what I normally do, but better. Another thing I'd like to point out on why I'd be a good candidate is because of my general pacifism on the wiki, mostly during conflicts and whenever users are pushing me around. I try my best to stay as calm as possible during it, while trying to solve the conflict in the process. I gained this ability from my cousin actually (Her and I have never been on good terms, so in order to prevent a fight from breaking out, I had to learn to control my irritability, and I try my very best to not let anger show on the wiki, regardless of how much something may bother me. If you have any questions or anything else that you need to help further prove that I'm a candidate, then please do not hesitate to let me know.

#Changing my vote again to '''oppose'''. Simply put, your comment that you have been trying to impress people just goes to further my point. But whether or not you do stop it if you're promoted, it means you weren't, and as far as I can tell still aren't, ready for admin powers. You shouldn't have to ''try''; if you were ready to handle a position of power like this, it would come more naturally.

::It depends, there's the question that needs to be considered of "If we were to go with their side, would it make the page better or worse if it involves a page?" (Since most disputes on SmashWiki usually involve pages, we'll use this as an example) I like to experiment, especially with pages, and if an event like this were to happen, then I'd take what they're so insistent on and experiment the change (using the preview button in order to do so mind you.) If it somehow improves the page, then it definitely needs to be approved, if I'm still not sure however, I'd most likely screencap it and post it as a user image and ask those who think it'd make it better what they think.

Ok, I'm gonna say this: this is taking ''way'' too long. Fortunately, Disaster Flare has a ton of perseverance, but we need to come to some sort of consensus. Let's hope that it arrives before the sun gets so hot Earth becomes Venus.

I am going to give you a chance to get me in support:

Say there is a newer user who is not quite familiar with our policies yet. Now say someone corrects their edits and leaves messages on their talk page, but they are a bit...overboard ("OMG will you ''PLEASE'' sign your comments? You're so annoying..." etc). The new user continues to violate the policy. How do you resolve the situation? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:30, 9 November 2015 (EST)
:As per your previous question, it depends. For one thing, if the user who's trying to correct them is saying being rude like that, I'm going to scold them no matter what, because there's no need to be rude to anyone, no matter what wrongdoing they've committed. When it comes to the user, that's difficult to determine. It'd have to depend on how exactly they're violating policies and what policies they're violating, for instance, a signed comment issue, I'm going to be a bit easygoing on, as it's not a terrible issue, just a minor issue that can be fixed rather quickly. Most likely the reason they'd ignore it is maybe because the user's being rude to them. I know I wouldn't wanna listen to someone who's being rude to me, so I'd talk to them myself, explain why exactly they're being called out, apologize for said user's misbehavior, and link them to the policies and hope they'll listen then. If not, then I'll remind them a couple more times, give them a few more chances, you know. If they continue to break the policies, then at that point I know I have no choice but to issue a penalty. The penalty would depend on the severity of the policy violation, but since they'd most likely be good faith, then it wouldn't be TOO severe, just enough to get their attention. At that point I'd put one more message on their talk page explaining why they faced a penalty and ask kindly to refrain from doing it again and to look at the policies they've been violating. Hopefully this helps, and if you need further information, don't hesitate to ask.
