SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Mr. Anon
Mr. Anon (talk • contribs • edit count • RFA page)
Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.
Hello. I've been contributing to this wiki for over 6 months. I've fought many vandals, and tagged many spam pages for deletion. I want Adminship to give me the tools to make this easier. I have had two IPs, so if you would like more information you could look through their contributions.
One of my biggest goals here at this wiki is to fight vandalism. I keep hearing about schools not allowing Wikipedia as a source, saying that "anyone can edit it". I have always found wikipedia to be great resource however, but the vandalism there prevents it from becoming very reliable. Here, I would like to help Smashwiki keep its reliablity and respect throughout the Smash community.
One of the worst kinds of vandalism is the creation of spam pages. When this happens, a normal user can't simply delete the page. They have to tag it with deletion, and an Administrator has to come and find it. However, there are times when the Admins aren't around when this kind of spam happens. I come here quite a lot, so I believe I can help stop this kind of spam.
In short, I believe that I can use these tools responsibly, and hope you agree with me. Mr. Anon (talk) 18:54, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
Support
- Slight Support I don't think you'd make a bad admin, but I think OT's RfA needs to be resolved first, and then after that we need to see if we need another sysop. Dr. Pain 99

Oppose
- No. You're a good editor, but frankly I don't see you, as you currently are, as sysop material. Sorry. Miles (talk) 23:06, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think so, Tim. - You're an amazing editor, but your grammar and way of handling conflict is bad. BNK [E|T|C] 02:03, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Read above. Kperfekt Talk Is Cheap... But I Am Not. 04:00, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose. We have no need for a janitorial sysop and you show an obvious lack of full understanding of the games to make you a "skill" sysop. I've hardly ever seen you resolve user conflict in any way that is appropriate for an administrator, and I quite frankly don't trust your judgment. I hate being this harsh, because you are a valuable contributor, but not all good college football players are NFL material and not all good soldiers are good generals...

- Oppose I agree with what CHawk said, but you are also suppose to describe why the Wiki wants you to be a sysop, not why you want to be a sysop. Omega Tyrant

Neutral
- -10% I don't really know why, but there's something here that doesn't seem right. Yeah, you notice/fix vandals, but you don't really stand out as "will improve this wiki with adminship". You probably should have waited until a few weeks after OmegaTyrant's RfA gets resolved, because compared to him you're not the better candidate. Toomai Glittershine
The Stats Guy 19:08, June 23, 2010 (UTC) - I've been on this wiki for a bit longer than you have, and frankly I've done similar things for those months, yet I'm no admin myself. Not to say you'd be a bad admin or anything, but Toomai has a point there. --HavocReaper'48 19:22, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Leaning to oppose Not saying you'd be a bad admin, but I do that stuff as well, and I'm no admin. OT is trying to be admin right now. If he becomes admin, he'll patrol the wikia for a while.--MegaTron1XD
20:09, June 23, 2010 (UTC) - Leaning to oppose Eh, I don't really think we need another admin (excluding OT) and you are not quite ready yet.-Ivy73

Comments
It seems that this RFA will not pass. What should I do to improve myself so that I can request later? I believe I can be a great help to the wiki, and I want to serve it. What should I do to "prove my worth"? Mr. Anon (talk) 05:26, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
