===[[User:Kperfekt722|KP317]] 2nd Request===
Firstly, I would like to apologize for using the old request method, mainly because I got frustrated when it wouldn't work the first 2 times. If anyone could correct this for me it would be most greatly appreciated.
Aight, let me go through this for you. I am KP317. I generally do things my way and see nothing else to it. And GOD KNOWS I have problems with several of the admins already on here. However, I am going to disregard any of that, as I have found the only method that will work well for me is simply ignoring them in most cases, and only answering them in cases of an actual need for me to. As I continue, I will point out I am the 7th biggest contributor on here. Yeah, I know most of that is from User Talk, but look at the rest and then look at your own stats. Mine are most likely better. I have created countless pages on here and have a "Vandalize and your Banned" attitude. I'm not going to hand out warning templates that say "Your recent edits may constitue vandalism", I'm just going to tell them they don't belong here and ban them. I will also add that I finally put an end and a stop to the major start of this whole "Wiki-War" which was the [[Aftermath Dynasty]]'s general hatred for [[User:Randall00|RJM]]. I did this in favor of the Wiki, and not by any means because I agree with him on most levels. I have more credentials, such as my other Wiki's, which I will post at the end of this whole thing. I'm also a large contributor at Wikipedia. For those of you who still are simply going to vote "no" because you don't like me, why don't you ask around to see who really likes you. I know I have a short temper. But so do many other admins here. I won't say who because the people that have any buisness knowing or voting should already know who they are. I don't like the adminstration going on here or at Wikipedia. And I will always make that very well known. If your going to use that against me, please consider the Bill of Rights, which doesn't necissarily apply ''here'', but more applies to everything in the USA, where most people on this Wiki are from. Yes, I know I'm rude. Yes, I know I'm annoying. And Yes, I know I trash people all the time (even though they deserve it). It's who I am. I can't change that. I'm a no-BS type person. If you want to bring up my 4 bans, note that the only one that is justyfied was my first one for 2 days. What puts the long amounts time that my bans put together equal so amazing, is that I'm still a Top Contributor here (among other Wiki's although the edit count on this being the most prominent). Please do not say that I will "damage this Wiki" if I were an admin. What is my motive? There isn't one. So, in closing I will only say one thing; not just pertaining to this Wiki, but to people trying to reach a goal in general: Don't Take Life To Seriously. No One Gets Out Alive Anyway.

:'''Oppose.''' Sorry, Kperfekt.  You've lost all credibility with me.  Even if your four bans were overmuch, they still happened and that can't be ignored.  [[User talk:Miles.oppenheimer/Archive1#FOR THE LAST TIME|You've lost your temper at me before]], not to mention the current crew of sysops.  I don't trust you to join their ranks, not even for a second.

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

Hello SmashWikians. I am Oxico, and I am sure most of you know me. I have been on this wiki since before the merge. In that time, I have strived to improve the wiki to the best of my ability. Back in the day, the SmashWiki was full of speculation and false information. I only allowed the most verified information to remain here. I began vividly editing the wiki as often as I could. I immeadiately sought after the powers of an admin. When I thought I finally had all the edits I'd need to make it, the RfAs were shut down. But now I seek my adminship.

Allow me to list some reasons I deserve SysOp powers. I have made over 1500 edits to the main wiki, more than some current sysop. I have created many Final Smash pages. I researched many character special movements such as Taunts and On-Screen Appearances and added the information to their respective pages and character pages. Countless other small, thought useful, edits add to my already impressive count.

But don't just take it from me. Ask the very list of edits I speak of. I also like how I got a vote before I even finished writing my argument. :P


Support

  • I know where this is going, and I like it.O, Mighty Smoreking 02:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • *looks at edit count* Dude, Oxico should've been an admin the minute he joined Smash Wiki. He's nothing on his bad record, and he's also a good friend. Oxico for teh win. Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 02:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. you've been a great influence to many people, and a great friend. Xtrme Talk 2 X Wut X is doing 03:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. Oxico is a valued editor and would be an equally valuable sysop. Miles (talk - contribs) 22:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Youve helped this wiki a lot. But try to remember to sign your reasons :p JtM =^] (talk) 22:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

  • Oppose. Again, edit count is not a valid support. Lack of activity and certain personality quirks would make this a questionable promotion. --Shadowcrest 21:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Opppose. Sorry, but you're not as active as I aspected you to be. As well as this, you're recent edits have been mostly talk pages and AD edits. I understand that you have the more social skills to become a sysop and all that, but I don't really how it will take into effect. I know you've got some skills to become a sysop, but when you're recent edits in the Contributions page has been clustered by talk page edits, smasher page edits (especially of the user himself), AD edits and forum / other stuff. If you were more active, and focused on proper edits with a proper mix of talk page and involvement, then I will reconsider. METEORITE (t)
What are you talking about? Oxico's smasher page has looked the same for quite a while now. MarioGalaxy {talk} 00:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

  • Neutral with a slight lean towards support. You're a good user, and you'd make a fine sysop, but you haven't been on very much recently. If your activity goes up, my vote changes. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 20:02, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral. The fact is that just about anyone -- who isn't a vandal and who has basic reasoning skills -- is competent to Block/Del/Prot (though we'd also expect that the user in question be reasonably be reasonably active, I suppose). As Shadowcrest points out, edit count, which seems to be the sole reasoning provided in Oxico's statement, is not a valid reason for SysOption. That said, however, there are certain kinds of edits, for lack of a better term, Admin-like edits, that I've found tend to be good litmus tests for potential SysOps, particularly on a wiki, like this one, where SysOps have a great deal of authority (i.e. they're not simply "janitors", but are instead "entrusted to mediate user disputes, arbitrate users, and interpret policy during times of argument"). In short, those would be edits that display an above-average grasp of policy and "WikiCulture" and/or that display that a user is particularly level-headed, rational, etc., e.g. helping to prevent the escalation of a user conflict -- including substantive contributions to the SmashWiki/SmashWiki talk namespaces by definition. Edits that display a particular dedication to house-keeping tasks are important to some degree as well, but only if you particularly need a SysOp to do janitorial stuff and have no better alternatives. Though I can't say I know Oxico (which is a big part of the reason that this is a neutral vote, the other major reason being that I don't have extensive knowledge of precedent on this wiki) and though I don't necessarily doubt that Oxico has the aforementioned qualities, I've been looking through his contributions and I haven't seen many edits that I would categorize as Admin-like (though I'll be happy to remove this "vote" if someone shows me links to the contrary). – Defiant Elements 23:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral — Not yet. Get back to being active and I think it would be appropriate for you to try again in a month and a half or so. :) No hard feelings. --Sky (t · c · w) 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
