Wikisimpsons:Admin Requests

The page to request admin rights.

Requirements

• Users can nominate themselves.
• Nominees must be a fairly active contributor to WikiSimpsons, being active at least in the last six weeks
  • As well, nominees ought to have more than 200 contributions, with at least 50% being in the mainspace.
• Nominees should demonstrate good understanding of WikiSimpsons policies, style, and conventions.
• Before a user is nominated, he or she must be asked if they will accept the nomination. If not, that user will not be nominated.
• If a request is turned down, there must be at least a months wait before that user can be renominated.

Be aware that sockpuppeting or getting friends to vote in the last minute will not be tolerated.

You have to explain why you want the rights and what you will do with them in order to be accepted.

Support (6)

1. Is a good user, knows the policies and has done a lot of work towards the wiki. The Solar Dragon 15:28, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
2. You deserve it dude. - ThePlatypus 20:39, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
3. Yep, good contributor, Third most edits on this wiki out of active people. --Smiley12 was here at 21:08, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
4. Count me in for supporting Effluv. He's a good editor and a good egg to boot. -- Mythigator 23:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
5. Yes, he would be a great administrator. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
6. Always editing. Good editor. UFO Editor 17:16, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (2)

1. I can't find any reason to oppose, but this user has only been here a month. -- Brian McClure 01:18, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
2. I agree with Brian McClure, I think Effluvium needs more experience here before he becomes an admin. >D'oh! ¡Ay Carumba! D'oh! (Talk Page This-Away!) 17:57, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

• But in that month he made more than 3000 edits and did a lot of good things like improving most of the pages and creating templates. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:38, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
  • That makes him a good user. But why would that make him (in your words) "a great administrator"? Of the three current requests, I support this one the most, but again, I'm not sure if a month is long enough. I've seen a lot of users who come in, put in a few months of hard work, then burn themselves out and leave. We need to know that he will stick around. -- Brian McClure 01:59, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

He may have been here only a month but I was only around for a month before I became an admin on Futurama Wiki. A month is enough to prove yourself to be a good user and I feel that he has done more than enough to earn the rights. The Solar Dragon 06:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

I've been a Simpsons fan for as long as I can remember, and that isn't going to change anytime soon! But I've only recently learnt the means to contribute my knowledge onto this site, thus I would've joined a lot earlier. And to answer you question, Brian McClure, I'm not leaving anytime soon. You have my word! :)    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   13:53, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

And if not, we can hunt you down and force you to edit again. :) The Solar Dragon 13:54, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, yeah! I'm never far away from a computer (even when I go on holidays), so you guys can expect a lot more edits coming your way!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   14:01, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

I hope not! If you continue like this, you will overtake me in edit count! :) The Solar Dragon 14:08, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Mythigator (withdrawn)

If no one objects, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. -- Mythigator 23:34, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

WITHDRAWN after reading McClure's blog entry "Adminship is not a badge of honour." He has a good point, and it would have been nice to know that from the very beginning. Sorry if I've put anyone to any trouble. -- Mythigator 02:22, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. I would recommend taking the first step to getting to be an admin, becoming a rollback first --Smiley12 was here at 00:34, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose (1)

1. • Oppose per this edit. He later said "I don't remember where I saw it", so even if it was in good faith it shows very poor judgement skills. This could have easily been disproven by checking the end credits. You should never add something that you can't remember where you heard it. That is how vandalism spreads. -- Brian McClure 00:28, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

McClure - That's one freaking instance where I goofed, out of plenty of other changes I've made with no issues at all. You might cut me some slack for owning up to my mistakes. Smiley - If rollback is a more logical step then going to directly to admin, that's entirely understandable and OK by me. -- Mythigator 02:08, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

It may be one edit, but why should I trust you with the ability to delete pages when you make a huge mistake like that (especially when it's very easy to fact check)? Your hostile response doesn't help you either. -- Brian McClure 02:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

One wrong credit is a huge mistake? Interesting assessment, but not entirely unfair. Point taken and "name in hat" withdrawn. -- Mythigator 02:20, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Definitely, it's spreading vandalism. As an admin, one of your most important jobs would be cleaning up vandalism, so why should I trust you with that when you can't pick out obvious vandalism? -- Brian McClure 02:25, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

TheHomer

Like Mythigator said, if no one objects. It took me 20 minutes to write this, I'm nervous... just exaggerating, but I'd like to be an administrator. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:03, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. Yeah, it would be nervous making an admin request, the thought that it would get turned down (I never had to do it though, I was made a rollback, then an admin without having to request anything, or even asking), But I'm sure you'll get accepted though. --Smiley12 was here at 01:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. Yes, it is not a badge of honour. However, you make good edits and the only thing you should really do more is talk to other users about things that they have done wrong, to improve etc. The Solar Dragon 06:49, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

1. Adminship is not a badge of honour. You have not given us any reason why we should make you an admin. Sure, you've been a good contributor, but you haven't been here long and you really haven't displayed a need for the tools. -- Brian McClure 01:24, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

• Mmmm... I think you're right. Plus Effluvium deserves it more than me. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 01:38, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
