Editing SmashWiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Miles of SmashWiki

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

I'm Miles of SmashWiki. I have been a SmashWiki editor since May 2008, and a SmashWiki admin since [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Miles.oppenheimer|December 2008]]. I previously presented myself as a candidate for bureaucratship in [[SmashWiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Miles.oppenheimer|August 2009]], and was unsuccessful. It has been 6 years since then, and circumstances are very different. The site is different, the userbase is different, and I feel that I have matured as a person, as an editor, and as a leader for this community.

A bit of history: for a very long period of time, SmashWiki has operated with a single bureaucrat, who as a result is responsible for managing all the responsibilities of that role. When SmashWiki moved from Wikia to being hosted by Porplemontage in 2010, our last active bureaucrat was {{s|User|Emmett}}, who was unable to continue in that role. Upon leaving, he promoted then-admin {{s|User|Toomai}} to bureaucrat without a formal RfB process. In the five years since that time, Toomai has been SmashWiki's sole bureaucrat.

Toomai has done an excellent job. Nevertheless, I believe that the site could be better off having more than one bureaucrat, so we are not singularly dependent upon him. In light of a few instances of somewhat reduced activity from Toomai, I feel that I would be a good candidate for the bureaucrat role.

There's a few main tasks that I would be empowered to act upon as a bureaucrat that I cannot as an admin:
*'''Renaming users.''' Toomai has generally done a good job with this, and I feel I could do so as well.
*'''Interwiki table management.''' Not a crucial point, but given that some Smash series lack NIWA wikis to link to, we may want to discuss if there are other wikis worth cross-linking to through [[Special:Interwiki]] (for example, the Xenoblade Wikia).
*'''Managing user rights.''' Requests for rollback and requests for adminship have been languishing a bit of late. We've had 6 RfAs in the last few months; 4 of these have only been resolved by the candidate withdrawing themselves, including [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Serpent King|one case]] where the RfA more or less sat there unresolved for two months. I feel that nobody benefits from leaving things unresolved for so long, and a few weeks is usually plenty for most issues in the RfA process to be spelled out in such a way as to present consensus or lack thereof.

So what makes a good candidate for bureaucratship? This is a bit of a tough question, given that we have not had a new one in so long. However, I think I am a good candidate for the following reasons:
*'''Experience.''' I am one of the most experienced editors on SmashWiki, in terms of time and quantity of edits; as to the latter point, counting both my [[Special:Editcount/Miles.oppenheimer|old]] and [[Special:Editcount/Miles of SmashWiki|current]] accounts, I have over 22,000 edits to SmashWiki. I have a deep familiarity with both Smash and this site.
*'''Back-end contributions.''' I have contributed significantly towards writing and updating policy for this site. I authored pages like [[SW:NOT]], [[SW:TRIVIA]], [[SW:IMAGE]], [[SW:NEWGAME]], and [[SW:TONE]]; I also worked on a significant revision to SmashWiki's [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] to make them less Wikia-styled. I regularly make updates and revisions to SmashWiki's infobox and navigation templates, in order to make the site more useful and navigable.
*'''Front-end contributions.''' I also frequently work towards contributing to SmashWiki's mainspace content. This includes editing existing pages, but also implementing many other large pages from scratch. Recent examples of this include overhauling [[List of voice actors]], and creating [[List of minor universes]], [[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character posters]], [[List of composers]], and [[Tournament legal (SSB4)]]. I also have worked on large batch edits such as standardization of Japanese names, and implementing pages for [[Template:Smash Tour|Smash Tour items]] and [[Template:Mii costumes|Mii costume characters]]. Another area I frequently contribute to is managing ongoing projects like tracking [[User:Miles of SmashWiki/Upcoming appearances|recent]] [[Template:NIWA News|appearances]], keeping the [[amiibo]] page up to date, and updating the [[downloadable content]] page.
*'''Dispute handling.''' Handling disputes between users is one of the most difficult tasks an admin is faced with, especially if both users are displaying good faith and are not factually incorrect. I will admit to having had difficulty with dispute handling in the past, but I believe I have gotten better at such things, and I take seriously [[User:Miles of SmashWiki/Feedback|the feedback of other users]]. I seek to find a middle ground where the needs of the wiki and the desires of the users involved are best satisfied, whenever possible. Consensus is key, and I frequently seek more users' opinions whenever a discussion appears to have gotten stuck, as a way of trying to reach a better conclusion.

With all that said, I would appreciate your thoughts, and would be glad to answer any questions. However you vote, I hope that I can continue to be a good leader for SmashWiki.

#:Adding to my opinions due to suggestions on doing so. My main reason for thinking you'd do great is because of how well of a job you've done as admin. You've worked every day practically non-stop trying to protect the wiki, as well as the community, when you could've very easily decided to do something else instead. While you have made poor decisions in the past, the fact that you can say that you've learned from them and know now exactly what you should've done differently is a very commendable and respectable trait, a trait I honestly don't see a lot from people these days. Out of any admin, past, present, or future, you'd be the next most capable of being a Bureaucrat, and I'll be rooting for you on getting it. Good luck Miles.

#:Given the below commentary, I think I'll enhance my reasoning a bit more. Whilst it is true that we do indeed have an active B'crat, and that has seemed efficient for some time, the fact that there is no deliberate need to have an another should neither sway anyone towards Support or Oppose. We're trying to answer the question "Does/can this person need/deserve/be trusted with the related powers?" I do indeed think that Miles having these powers will at least be of some benefit to the wiki, as it will help the system run better, as that would mean more time is covered, so to speak. Based off his contributions both to the technical side of the wiki and the community aspect, I think that I am justified in saying that he does meet the requirements of being a BC. However, here, I hit a snag, as there has been some rough patches in the past, including multiple scuffles with OT, two of which coming to mind, which I really wouldn't want to migrate to scuffles between Miles and Toomai. However, I do note that, bar the exception that quite a few people had noted, and I don't feel like I need to, he has not had, to my memory, too many disputes with other editors on the wiki, particularly so in recent history - before that, not so much. Therefore, my end argument is this - I support this RFB not only because Miles, in my opinion, satisfies those conditions, but that I find no substancial reasoning not to. Certanly, should such reasons arise in the future, my opinion may change, but, until such a time, I will keep my opinion as '''support'''. However, I will note one other thing - should this RFB be passed, this will leave us in the slightly awkward position of having two BC's. To bring British Law into this, in a Magistrate's court, you either have one Magistrate, or three, never two.

#<s>I'd just like to note that you aren't just a good candidate, you're pretty much the only candidate, unless OT becomes fully active all of a sudden or Nyargle demonstrates a need for the b'crat powers.

It would definitely be beneficial if we had another user handling renames and RfRs, but outside of Serpent King we really haven't had a legitimate RfA candidate in a while (at least off the top of my head), and that seems to be the driving force behind this application (and that's something you outright say [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Nyargleblargle|here]]).

#::Simply, the two necessary traits for a bureaucrat, are their judgment, and the ability to arbitrate. From my five years of observing and interacting with Miles, he has shown some astonishingly poor judgment that never improved, and there are nonadmins that shown better capability at arbitrating and handling user disputes. And unlike admins, there's no significant janitorial use for bureaucrats, so Miles' one true strength is irrelevant here. Not to mention this RfB strikingly reminds me of Miles' RfA, which was a textbook "why not?" promotion, and as Miles been a brilliant example of over the years, you should never promote users on the basis of "why not we need more". <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 ]] 11:03, 11 November 2015 (EST)

#'''Light oppose''' I think Miles is a useful admin, certainly, but the iffy reputation surrounding him makes it hard to put Miles at the highest rank available, and I think that given time, Nyarglebargle and Serpent King would make better bureaucrats, thanks to the higher professionalism they show off.

#'''Iffy Oppose''' I think that when someone in a position of power uses that power for their benefit (as with the SSB4 Marth page incident), that's a sign that they shouldn't be given more power. While I did agree somewhat with what Miles was trying to do in that situation ("decisively" is rarely a word you can use in a neutral article IMO), the choice to protect the page came off as an abuse of power. To be fair, I haven't been around the wiki very often lately, so I don't really know how things have been for the past while, which is why I've labeled this as an "iffy" oppose.

#'''Strong Oppose''' It took a lot of thought for me to come to this decision.

When it comes to the decisions I make here, there are people I always think of that go on here, my friends, no, my family, and how it'd affect them, and the fact that you've barely shown any improvement makes putting you in a bureaucrat position very dangerous, for you, me, and this entire wiki in general.

#'''VERY Strong Oppose''' I have to agree with what OmegaTyrant said in the first place-he's a decent moderator at ''best''. Admittedly, he's of a sound an logical mind in casual situations he's needed, but when it comes to handling disputes on the wiki, Miles is incredibly one-sided, is often a late responder (see the end of [http://www.ssbwiki.com/User_talk:Aidanzapunk#Do_you_really_need_to_be_so_hostile.3F] <- this, for example), and when it comes to following SmashWiki policies (SW: TALK, for example), he can be incredibly two-faced and hypocritical at times. Furthermore, I've noticed on many occasions that if he happens to be on the losing end of an argument, he'll immediately try to shut down his opposition with his positional power all while keeping quiet the whole time, often dodging any questions that come his way. To summarize, I see him come off as a megalomaniac (i.e., using a "my way or the highway" approach), which in my opinion, is not the right way to handle responsibility.

#'''Strong Oppose''' I read all the comments in oppose section and some of your talk page response. This is why I have to reconsider it and agree with opponents. No, it's not a vendetta. Few supporters seems to say something that is somewhat meaningless. Otherwise, anyone would support him and say "why not we need more" or other negligible things. I haven't seen signs of improving. The fact that you are shutting down your opponents with your positional power, is more of obsessed with winning with reasons. I don't want to see any conspiracy of this wiki. Even you have a lot experience with it, you have another long way to go to correct your core problems. Are you out of your mind? Don't claim that you are improving and actually do it. That makes you sound like an arrogant, egotistical admin, which I don't want to see any bureaucratic user like that. Acknowledge yourself what you can do or couldn't do. Or otherwise, you won't be able to shoulder everything by yourself with this added powers in certain event. I see it as a high risk. Near my conclusion, I think that you don't deserve being promoted to Bureaucracy in my eyes. The dreams of becoming a bureaucratic will go up in smoke and become an illusion.

#'''Oppose...?''' I regret saying this: from reading the opposition comments of Omega and 15DollarsWentSouth, I can agree that you don't have the right amount of responsibility to gain bureaucracy, since you don't seem to stop disputes and arguments frequently compared to other lower-ranked users (my buddy [[User:Disaster Flare|Disaster Flare]] went and solved [[User_talk:Drilly_Dilly/Archive_1#Two_things_you_need_to_check_out.|this here ugly situation between me and the guy I can't stand]]; you also didn't respond to [[User_talk:Serpent_King/Archive_3#Toon_Link|this dispute]] in time and posted your comment very late); in other words, I very seldom see you post on a user talk page that solves an argument between at least two users, and even if you do, it's just one or few comments, and then the next we know, you're gone, and the argument fails to cease at that moment. I can agree with everybody else (especially Omega) that you need to do more than just blocking vandals to earn bureaucracy power, despite how I think you're very good at spotting violators and ending their plots to screw this wiki up (don't argue, Omega). While I don't think you're a bad admin (if you read this, please contain yourself, Omega), I can agree with everybody else that you still need to improve on arbitration (ending arguments and debates), since you don't seem to notice disputes that much and how other users (like Disaster Flare) handle them way more often, though I do understand that at certain moments, you're busy with other stuff, along with Nyargleblargle, and I can respect that. Luckily for you, this bureaucracy request is going better than when you were Miles.oppenheimer. - [[User:Drilly_Dilly|<span style="color: blue">'''Drilly'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Drilly_Dilly|<span style="color: red">'''the'''</span>]] [[User talk:Drilly Dilly|<span style="color: purple">'''Hedgehog'''</span>]] 03:38, 15 November 2015 (EST)
#'''Strong Oppose''': From the time I've been here on Smash Wiki, you've seemed to commit blunder after blunder with user interactions, while rarely learning from your mistakes, and rarely admitting that you're wrong. Your feedback page seems to do very little to support you actually actively trying to fix your shortcomings, and if you paid attention to the survey that Toomai conducted a while ago, you'd know what the userbase thought of you and tried to fix those problems in a more direct way, instead of having to make ''another'' feedback page where people have to directly call you out before you even consider any sort of action. You push for policies based on your opinions and are quick to dismiss users who have a different opinion than yourself, despite said opinions being founded on unsound assumptions about ''Smash'' and its competitive community, and think that we can sugarcoat extreme facts in a way that removes legitimate information from pages and backs widespread misguided views about characters' viability.

#'''Not yet'''. Omega Tyrant does bring up a valid point in that it's taken you years to improve (as much as I feel he exaggerated it), so my perspective (six months) is indeed limited, and the improvement you've shown over the past few months is not marked enough to make up for all that.

#:Okay so in an attempt to make my thought process a little more transparent I'll be documenting some of the kind of stuff I'm thinking of here.
#:''Why should I pass this RfB?''
#:*Having certain abilities be under control by only a single person is usually not the best idea. It would be nice to not be the only guy who can pass RfXs and renames.
#:*Most of a bureaucrat's powers are no-brainer decisions. Renames? We have a cut-and-dry policy on how to handle them. RfRs? It's usually pretty obvious whether someone understands the rollback tool. Hiding revisions? Only the most egregious cases would require it. RfAs (and RfBs) are really the only part that requires thinking.
#:*Promoting people to bureaucrat, after they've already proven themselves trustworthy as admin, really shouldn't be that big a deal. I would put it as a bigger deal than "user" to "rollback", but not as big as "rollback" to "admin".
#:''Why should I fail this RfB?''
#:*Having certain abilities be under control by only a single person ensures consistency in decisions.
#:*For lack of a better phrase, Miles has a spotty history, and arguably the most cases of poor judgement of any currently-active user. Granted, some of this is just because he's been around longer than anyone else, and it's mostly content disputes rather than personnel disputes, but I can't deny it leaves a sour taste.
#:*Good admins do not always make good bureaucrats; some wikis break the two positions into two different branches of progression instead of putting one above the other, because it can be argued that they have completely different roles (maintenance of the wiki versus maintenance of personnel). I would in fact argue that we've been a bit of a headless wiki for some time now.
#:*I'd no longer be the only active gold name in Recent Changes. <span style="font-size:50%">(no, this is not a serious reason)</span>
#:At the moment, I am leaning towards "yes, passing this is probably good for the wiki".

The failed RfAs are mostly irrelevant, as most of the time the verdict can be foreseen the moment you know who the applicant is. I'm not going anywhere lower than '''neutral''' though. - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 11:15, 11 November 2015 (EST)
# '''Now neutral.''' While I think that OT has exaggerated this situation somewhat, he still brought up some important points that need to be addressed before Miles can become a bureaucrat. I still think that Miles has done more for the wiki than anybody else since I joined, but he is not ready for the higher rank yet. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 12:51, 15 November 2015 (EST)
#'''Neutral leaning towards oppose''' Miles really isn't a bad admin or anything, at least in my opinion, but he very much has a "I'm right and you're wrong, end of story" type of attitude (take any example from this thread, and also take a look a while back to the [[amiibo]] head icon debates). He's got a really thick skull and I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me on that. But because of this, I'm don't really think giving him more power is a good idea. I'm only putting my vote in Neutral instead of Oppose because I'm not entirely convinced that he'd do any worse with the bureaucrat powers.

Can you provide me some specific examples of currently unhandled tasks that require a bureaucrat, and additionally, how exactly you would handle them?

:I mentioned the three types of task that are bureaucrat-specific that I cannot do as an admin. Renames are fine as they are, and interwiki things I haven't proposed yet (but a related task is on [[User:Miles of SmashWiki/To-do list|my to-do list]]). That leaves requests for _____, of which there [[SmashWiki:Requests for rollback#Nutta Butta|are]] [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Disaster Flare|two]] active. Nutta/Nutty's RfR has been left hanging without a reply on Toom's part for most of a week, which is questionable (I would answer him with yes, seek another, clearer example). DF's RfA is new enough to warrant more time before a decision. The main issue I was noting lately was, as I stated above, the several withdrawn RfAs recently. Several were indeed skewed towards opposition, but yours in particular seemed to be withdrawn more due to delay than anything. Instances like that lead me to believe that having more than one bcrat would be beneficial.

I have mostly endeavored to stay quiet and let the community discuss this RfB without adding excess commentary to it myself, posting only to address specific questions directed at me. Nevertheless, I feel I am left with no choice but to comment on certain statements being made about me.

Let me say this to you in particular, Omega Tyrant. It is frustrating to see that after this long, you continue to use the same kind of ad hominem attack in an attempt to discredit me and my statements. Rather than address the main points of my RfB, you've instead chosen to jump in with overdramatic, dismissive language of little real substance. Your tendency towards this kind of behavior ill suits an admin, and [[User talk:Toomai/Archive 13#Status of Omega Tyrant|has not changed]] in a long time. This [[User talk:Omega Tyrant#Hello.|isn't just me]], either.

The Marth page incident was a mistake on my part. So what did I do? I dropped the point, admitted my mistake, and opened a feedback page so I could get specific constructive criticism in a direct way. And I have gone to great lengths since that time to improve upon myself as a contributor to this site, and worked hard to achieve a level of professionalism that is often lacking around here. And after all this, you make the claim that I have not improved? You've hardly even been here enough to make such a statement. Meanwhile, your incendiary monologues [[Talk:Ridley#"Speculation"|look the same as ever]].

I have learned from the times where I made mistakes, and will continue to do so; I am by no means infallible. I hope that you can come to see this perspective for yourself someday as well.

It's 2015 Miles, and yet seven years later you still are abusing powers and doing the same old shit that you've been repeatedly called out on through those seven years by various users. After seven years and incident after incident, you can't just pass it off as a mere "mistake" anymore, especially when like always, you only backed off after getting called out by a bureaucrat. Yet you're going to try to say with a straight face here that you've improved? And you try to say you're working towards "professionalism", yet this is the way you act on a constant basis?

:"''You've hardly even been here enough to make such a statement. Meanwhile, your incendiary monologues look the same as ever.''"

:Can't refute the criticism, so hey, lets try discrediting the criticizer! What was that about ad hominems? But anyway, I don't need to be fully active here anymore to know what this wiki requires to be as good a source as possible, and what conduct is required for an administrator anywhere.

:"''I have learned from the times where I made mistakes, and will continue to do so; I am by no means infallible''"

:Yet again, 7 years later, stuff like the Marth page incident ''still happens''. Actions speak louder than words, and once again, you cannot give the wiki this drivel when your actions repeatedly contradict this "I'm learning and improving!" claim of yours.

:"''I hope that you can come to see this perspective for yourself someday as well.''"

:Words you should actually abide by yourself.

:Now since you complained I didn't go through your RfB fluff and instead brought up very relevant points on why you aren't fit for a bureaucrat, I'll do so now:

:"''Renaming users. Toomai has generally done a good job with this, and I feel I could do so as well. ''"

:This is like blocking vandals and deleting junk, anyone can do it, this isn't a special point for you. 

:"''Interwiki table management. Not a crucial point, but given that some Smash series lack NIWA wikis to link to, we may want to discuss if there are other wikis worth cross-linking to through Special:Interwiki (for example, the Xenoblade Wikia).''"

:"Not a crucial point" pretty much sums it up.

:"''Requests for rollback and requests for adminship have been languishing a bit of late. We've had 6 RfAs in the last few months; 4 of these have only been resolved by the candidate withdrawing themselves, including one case where the RfA more or less sat there unresolved for two months. I feel that nobody benefits from leaving things unresolved for so long, and a few weeks is usually plenty for most issues in the RfA process to be spelled out in such a way as to present consensus or lack thereof.''"

:This point is disingenuous. I looked through the recent RfAs that were withdrawn, and a common thread with them all is that they were contentious at best or flatout opposed, with Toomai in particular remarking on one that it was mostly supported by new less-experienced/less-competent users (sounds familiar eh?). No one who had a legitimate RfA that should have passed gotten negatively affected by the wiki's current bureaucrat setup, and there's no demonstratable instance here of how another bureaucrat (regardless of their abilities) would have really helped.

:"''Experience. I am one of the most experienced editors on SmashWiki, in terms of time and quantity of edits; as to the latter point, counting both my old and current accounts, I have over 22,000 edits to SmashWiki. I have a deep familiarity with both Smash and this site.''"

:Oh man, you try passing yourself as experienced, and use edit count as a point towards for why you should be bureaucrat? You should know better than to seriously put down your edit count as a point towards you, especially in a RfB. Simply put, the amount of years you been here and your edit count has next to nothing to do with your capabilities to be a bureaucrat. Also, "deep familiarity with Smash" yet just as the Marth page shown, you are as out-of-touch as ever with the Smash community.

:"''Back-end contributions. I have contributed significantly towards writing and updating policy for this site. I authored pages like SW:NOT, SW:TRIVIA, SW:IMAGE, SW:NEWGAME, and SW:TONE; I also worked on a significant revision to SmashWiki's Help pages to make them less Wikia-styled. I regularly make updates and revisions to SmashWiki's infobox and navigation templates, in order to make the site more useful and navigable.''"

:The first four policies/guidelines are useful and necessary to the wiki, but putting into words something that the wiki enforced beforehand as an unwritten rule, that ends up being significantly modified by others, isn't a special point for you and not indicative of your capabilities as bureaucrat (or administrator for that matter). The last guideline however, is a perfect example of how your attitude and overall behavior is a direct detriment to the wiki's content, and again reinforces my point on how you're out-of-touch with the greater Smash community. Template work is yet another thing that has absolutely nothing to do with being a bureaucrat.

:"''I also frequently work towards contributing to SmashWiki's mainspace content. This includes editing existing pages, but also implementing many other large pages from scratch. Recent examples of this include overhauling List of voice actors, and creating List of minor universes, List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character posters, List of composers, and Tournament legal (SSB4). I also have worked on large batch edits such as standardization of Japanese names, and implementing pages for Smash Tour items and Mii costume characters. Another area I frequently contribute to is managing ongoing projects like tracking recent appearances, keeping the amiibo page up to date, and updating the downloadable content page. ''"

:So you can be a useful contributor at organizing stuff, but what does this have to do with being a bureaucrat?

:"''Dispute handling. Handling disputes between users is one of the most difficult tasks an admin is faced with, especially if both users are displaying good faith and are not factually incorrect. I will admit to having had difficulty with dispute handling in the past, but I believe I have gotten better at such things, and I take seriously the feedback of other users. I seek to find a middle ground where the needs of the wiki and the desires of the users involved are best satisfied, whenever possible.''"

:Yet as the Marth page shown, seven years later, you're still absolutely dreadful at handling user conflict, especially when it involves yourself. Again, no you have not improved, actions speak louder than words, and a "feedback" page means absolutely nothing when you don't actually listen to it.

:"'' Consensus is key, and I frequently seek more users' opinions whenever a discussion appears to have gotten stuck, as a way of trying to reach a better conclusion. ''"

:Are you trying to be a comedian? "I seek and value consensus, except when it goes against what I want, and I won't even bother to argue it but I will protect the page and keep everyone else from adding the content I don't like".

:There you go Miles, my conviction against you has only grown, as the stuff you present in your RfB as for why you should be a bureaucrat is either irrelevant fluff, disingenuous, or outright bullshit.

That's not true, at least initially. You and Brian continually edit-warred over various parts of the article, only bringing it to the talk page [[SW:1RV|as per policy]] AFTER Timson and Toomai stepped in. After the...discussion if you can call it that... you proceeded to protect the page against [[SW:PROTECT|another policy]], claiming that you had no intention of removing protection. Only after Toomai finally suggested that you were, perhaps, incorrect, did you decide that protection was needless. I have seen no admittance of the mistake other than in this RfB almost 4 months later. I am sorry for bringing this back up, but this comment actually angered me. You once again show your habit of making condescending comments (something that I noted in your feedback page) by claiming that professionalism is lacking by users other than yourself. I though you had improved, but in this one comment, you have proved me wrong. I mean no offense by this, and I respect you as an admin and editor, but if you want the bureaucrat position, you need to work on your flaws more.

:What I have tried to say repeatedly here is that I have made what I believe to be significant improvement over time, and especially in the months since the Marth page incident. I understand that a negative impression is difficult to change once made, but it is admittedly frustrating to see that even significant effort on my part makes little apparent difference in how I am perceived by the userbase. I make efforts to guide new users. I make efforts to resolve user disputes. I make efforts to take disagreements to talk pages when there's not a clear answer, seek a compromise where possible, and seek to hear more voices whenever there's a stalemate between viewpoints. When given constructive criticism, I take it to heart. Nevertheless, I'm not sure I understand what more you are expecting of me than I have done in the months since the incident in question, especially in terms of specific behaviors.

::Seven years, seven years Miles. An admin of seven years shouldn't still need to be improving on adminship basics, an admin of seven years shouldn't still be abusing their power to get their way, an admin of seven years shouldn't still be doing the shit they been called out on countless times, an admin of seven years shouldn't be still [[User:Shadowcrest/Qualifications|failing the criteria here]], an admin of seven years in their run for bureaucrat shouldn't be having the crux of their support be "I'll improve!".

::Seriously, drop this "I'm improving" act already. No matter how much you shout it, your actions have clearly shown otherwise over seven long years.

::::"''If you're that willing to immediately disregard months and years of hard work towards self-improvement as an "act", it sounds like personal vendetta more than thoughtful criticism.''"

::::So you again disregard everything that is brought up against you while shouting "I improved" and try to pass it off as a vendetta, the self-victimising mentality of yours does you no favors to me nor any other rational-thinking users. 

::::"''You're entitled to your own opinion, OT, but I'd appreciate if you didn't try to pass it off as fact.''"

::::Yeah because your actions that everyone can observe are "opinion" and certainly not factual.

::::"''Additionally, the main reason I started this RfB to begin with was that I thought we would be better having more than one bcrat, and thus less singularly dependent on Toomai; I considered myself the best available candidate.''"

::::Sure another bureaucrat will be helpful, but there is nothing demonstrating that we absolutely need another one right now. Additionally, best available candidate? Ignoring the ridiculousness of that statement, even if the wiki was in such a sorry state that you were the best candidate while it really needed a new bureaucrat, you're such a terrible candidate that it's well in everyone's interests to just wait for a more suitable candidate to come along; it's certainly not a standard that's hard to surpass.

::::Now I'm going to give you a heart-to-heart here Miles. Do you really ever just stop and think, that there's ''a reason'' me and so many other users disapprove of you so strongly? You really have that much of a self-victimising mentality that you think we all just decided to start hating you because of your funny name, because you play "Bluigi", because you seriously use comic sans in your sig, or because we thought you looked like a dork in that one picture Smoreking posted of you on AiB? Have you ever stop to think that you're not always right, that you may in fact be often wrong, and that people aren't going against you so often just because they have a vendetta against you? Have you ever consider, that just maybe, you really aren't fit for the job anymore, and that it would be in the wiki's best interest if you stepped down and took a less active role?

::::I don't hold vendettas against people Miles, I don't know a damn thing about you in your personal life, and we have next to no offwiki interaction, not even on IRC, there's absolutely nothing personal I can hold against you. All I have to judge you by is what you do on this wiki (and your prior administrating on AiB), and unfortunately blunder after blunder combined with your general disposition has led me (and others) to judge you so harshly. I don't criticize and confront people here just for the sake of conflict, I do it to keep the wiki striving towards its ultimate goal and help the userbase improve as much as it can. And when it is the same user with the same problem over and over, I'm going to have to get more and more blunt. On the flipside, I don't hold back praise when I see users doing good; for example how much have I publicly gushed here about what users I would have supported for adminship like HavocReaper, Monsieur Crow, Megatron1, and Mousehunter? If you were doing genuine good for the wiki, you would hear it.

::::I'm someone who is a big believer in the philosophy of self-improvement, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. Just recently for example, after having neglected my physical shape over the past couple of years, I got serious about my fitness and nutritional intake, lost nearly all the fat I gained, and am now poised to soon do a proper bulk/cut cycle. I'm also a strong believer in redemption and giving people the chance to right their wrongs, BNK is a brilliant example on this wiki on how people can improve so much after they seemed like a lost cause. As such, I absolutely do not think it's impossible for you to truly improve and become not only the great admin all the newbies (including myself when I was one) perceive you as, but also a legitimately great bureaucrat candidate. But I also to have to factor in the reality; you been like this for seven years, and people who are so set in their ways for so long are among the unlikeliest people to actually change and improve. Besides the fact we should judge one's RfX, especially for such an important position as bureaucrat, primarily on their actions throughout their tenure, it gives me incredibly low confidence that you would have the potential to do any remote good with the position.

::::If you are serious about improving yourself, here is my honest advice for you. Back away from this RfB, take a break from the wiki, ponder why you've been involved with the wiki to such a great degree for so long, and really ponder why you've gotten such significant disapproval over your really long adminship tenure. It takes a lot more than a feedback page on a wiki to really understand where you falter and on how you really can make yourself the best possible person you can be. <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 ]] 15:49, 15 November 2015 (EST)

::What more am I expecting of you? I am expecting an admin who can set aside their opinions during decision making and instead use their power to better the wiki. I am expecting an admin who will not belittle other users because you have a higher power. I am expecting an admin who can properly and professionally represent our wiki and the many hours our userbase has put into it. I am expecting an admin who won't bite the head off of a newer contributor because they disagree with you (or tell them that they have no business editing the wiki). I am expecting an admin who can get along with the rest of the staff, thus improving our image (I do understand that OT has acted less then professional in this instance, possibly provoking an irritable response, but this is not the only instance. It isn't even the only recent instance). Consider all of these and improve. Stop saying that you are improving and actually do it.

I would like to share my thought concerning the common response I see you give Miles when told about your mishaps which are basically "I have been improving" or more literally: ''If you're that willing to immediately disregard months and years of hard work towards self-improvement as an "act", it sounds like personal vendetta more than thoughtful criticism.'' First off, you're really not in the right to say that you are in fact improving and everybody else is just being unreasonable. Why? Because it is those same people who pointed out that you have problems in the first place; how could you know you're in fact getting better except through those same people telling you you are since they're the ones who brought it to attention to begin with. You cannot independently determine if you're improving apart from the ones telling you the problems. Imagine a math teacher telling a student that his grades have been slipping and have been doing bad for half the year now. But then the student responds with that he IS getting better at math, it's just the teacher just has something against him and that's why his grades are slipping (or claims the teacher is just being unreasonable). He's the one who pointed out the student's problem with math; he determines if the student is getting better, not the student. When you say "I am getting better at being admin", that is a claim that can only be corraborated by people other than you, since it is them that pointed out the problem to start with. If you're saying you're getting better, but the same people who brought issue with you to begin with say you're not, you're obviously not improving. This isn't to say you can't feel as though you're improving, but rather you cannot corraborate that you are when it was them who brought the issue to you. If you feel like you've been doing better, you need to check with the ones making the claim against you to see if that feeling is true. And finally secondly, it does not matter how hard you work towards something, but rather the results of that work. I know nobody likes hearing that, but it is true. If you're working hard at something with no results then it is your methods that is in error.
