SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Cheezperson

Cheezperson (talk • contribs • edit count • RFA page)

Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.

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 it is needed. I'd rather not reveal my age here, but I can assure everyone, I'm not a little kid. I will not be childish when it comes to this wiki.

• 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:

1. The table and descriptions on the Crowd Favorite page
2. The cleanup of the Home stage page (in process)
3. The trophy information and cleanup of trophy pages (chiefly Treecko)
4. The creation of numerous pages, including Linebeck .
5. 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)

Support

• Strong SupportDefinately a very helpful contributor. Support whole-heartedly. Puts my application to shame! --Toon Ganondorf^CHAT 08:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Support. You've never been blocked, nearly all of your contributions are what I consider to be ideal, you're active, and you are a nice person in general. Your edit count seems to be lacking a bit, but I still think that you would be a good administrator. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 13:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Cheez knows his stuff, though I'd feel even safer had he gotten rollback first. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 15:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• I believe in Cheez! With him, we can make CHANGE! Squallinoa 08 (talk) 23:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Support. You are helpful and definitely know your SSB (as in info for the articles). MarioGalaxy {talk} 23:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Alex25 requested me to link his support for me to his talk page, as my request is too long for him to put it on himself. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 01:23, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
• Great help to me when I was new, overall a great member of this wiki! Pikabro^PIKA! 05:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Has made great contribs. He has never been blocked which always helps. And most of his edits have been helpful to this wikia. Masterman What's the matter?Scared?

Oppose

• Weak Oppose Cheezperson is without a doubt quite helpful to the wiki. However, there are three things that make me oppose his sysop bid. First, I am wary of any person who has significantly more User Talk edits than main space edits. This often signals that the user is more concerned with using the site as a social utility than as an encyclopedia. Secondly, there is just the matter of the low edit count overall. While I am not one who feels that edit quantity is more important than quality, there is something to be said for an overall low edit count. If I am correct, I had the lowest edit count of any person ever to be promoted to sysop (on this wiki), and at the time I had more mainspace edits than Cheez's total edit count. Again, not that edit count is of supreme importance, but there has been a certain precedent set. Finally, the biggest reason that I don't support this user is that I haven't found many instances in his edits where he would need the sysop tools. Rollback is something that I would fully support for this user, but my checking has shown that this would be the only sysop tool that he would truly need to make what he has been doing more effective. Again, I do truly value Cheez as an editor, I just do not see the need or the full qualifications to make him a sysop. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose. I know this will come out way meaner than I intend it to be, but I feel this really must be said and there's no polite way to say it, so please forgive me. I get the impression that you're only running for 'epeen strength' and that you don't quite understand what will be expected of you as an administrator. Additionally, I am not sure how you would handle user conflicts, but judging from other aspects of your personality I've gathered I am not confident in your abilities. --Shadowcrest 15:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

• Neutral. No doubt that Cheez is a conscientious contributor to the wiki, as well as a very friendly person. However, like Obama, he lacks experience, as he is a relatively new user. But, again like Obama, he could still win. If he had more longetivity, this would be a full-fledged support, but for now, I'm quite neutral. - GalaxiaD (talk) 22:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral. Cheez is a really nice person, and a great editor, but sometimes takes things too lightly. I may have no idea what I'm talking about, so that's why I put this in neutral. Baltro [ talk ] 00:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
