SmashWiki:Requests for adminship
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.
- 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.
- When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should/should not become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose. Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
- 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.
- For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?
Past nominations
- For a list of all previous requests for adminship, please see this category.
- For a list of all previous requests for adminship that ended with the candidate's promotion, please see this category.
- For a list of all previous requests for adminship wherein the candidate was not promoted, please see this category.

Hello. This is KoRoBeNiKi. I wish to become an Admin on here after all that I have done for smash 64 moves and all smash 64 and melee stuff. I wish to become an admin to help get rid of vandals and get rid of combos that do not exist. I wish to be able to report combos that do not work because it is possible to get out of most combos in these games. I wish to be able to furthur my contributions and the "pro" scene of smash. Other good points is that I have never been banned from Any Board whatsoever. I am also a very old member of this wonderful site going back to the time when brawl was not even known about (before when it was just smashwiki). I added starting percentages for characters of smash 64 and I only will change when I am completely sure that I am right. I have been here from the time of character moves not being there for anyone correctly in smash 64 and not even everyone in melee. I have had trobule with editing in the beginning but now I am completely fine with this. Furthermore, I believe that I am responsible enough to hold such an honor. 20:02, 29 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoRoBeNiKi (talk • contribs)
- Neutral Leaning Ever-So-Slightly Towards Support. I read your statement and was GOING to say support but... YOU SHOULD HAVE SIGNED YOUR USERNAME XD Kperfekt722 (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Opposition Don't look so good when you don't even sign your own request. Also, I note many of your contributions are sparse, and marked by large periods of inactivity. Committment, sir, committment.Semicolon (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - Essentially, the above, but only felt moreso by me. --Sky (t · c · w) 03:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
