LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights/Administrator

This is LMBW's requests for administrator page. If you wish to request administrator rights, please read this page first, and make sure you fulfill the requirements listed here.

To file a request, place the following code under the "current requests" header, above any existing requests.

Comments


Requests made on this page made are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 25 supporting votes and 75% support out of the total supports and opposes, then their request will be closed as successful. Opposers must provide reasons for opposing. Most requests last for around a week, unless there is clear consensus either way after a short period of time.

If a user has requested administrator rights before, add  to the end of the topic header. If a request for administrator fails, the user who requested the rights must wait 8 weeks before requesting them again. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

Archived requests can be found here.

Ok so I have decided to go out for admin because of the lack of activity umongst the top ranks. Please do take the time to read this short paragraph. Ok, some of you might not remember how at the begining of my time on this wiki I had been on of the better editors, but recently have stopped. I also have been quite active for long stretches on time on this wiki. I have been a Chat Mod for at least a year and a half now, so I have plenty of experience in dealing with issues. Now, some of you may hold personal opionions against me (saying I did this and that in the past). However, the truth is, that I have never done anything abysmall and ever since I came back in November I have been a model mod. I have got applaudits from some people regarding improved behaviour and also improved modding. I will not feel offended in any way if you oppose me, however I would like a valid reason for this. I am no longer immature (a result that came with me when spending a three months off this place to sort myself out). I may not pose the greatest of coding skills, though I an frequently on chat and can help console your problems( In a similar way to Rio). So feel free to vote and good luck to the other candidate too. //\\//\\C

 * 1) I think MC can handle this. He's become quite mature since earlier this year and I'm convinced he'd make a great admin. - White Shadows  04:48, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) He'd be a good admin, IMO. - Gordax
 * 3) Go Terry! He definitely deserves this! - Marcel77799
 * 4) He has my support. - Satlmd

Neutral

 * I'm not going to say something generic like, doesn't edit the mainspace enough. I would be willing to support in a bit if you keep up your activity, but I'm neutral for now.
 * Improved, but activity concerns MsD  talk 14:27, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd say yes but you aren't on wiki very often. Maybe if you are a little more active I'll switch to support. =P

Oppose

 * 1) Not active enough, and is really rude in my experience. -Lelouch vi Britannia
 * 2) Too opinionated and biased even as a mod. Far from worthy of admin; he'd do better being demoted. - Twisted
 * Yes, I know, we are close friends, but I'm an admin, and I must be objective. He's too direct, and has bias issues with some users. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 12:41, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) ^^what everyone else is saying. ~Indigo
 * 2) Per them. —May the Force be with you, and may Darkness follow you. Oh. I'm the Doctor, by the way. 18:57, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

I think we need more fully active admins(ATM I believe we only have 4). I edit mainspace frequently, and am on chat quite often. As for maturity concerns, I don't really think I'm immature anymore like I was a year ago, I just tend to say random things sometimes. If anyone has any criticism of me I'd like it if you tell me so I can improve in whatever it is you have to criticize. I'd love it if you's support me, or at the very least, give a good reason not to. Thank you. :3

Support

 * 1) Yes plz. -The Commander
 * 2) Edits. Doesn't break policies (Okay, this might be a stretch. ) Would also be an interesting addition to the admin team.  - White  Shadows  23:19, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

 * 4) Green-kool-aid-man.jpg LCF  (talk! ) Purple-kool-aid-man.jpg 23:22, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Heck YES. -Lelouch vi Britannia
 * 6) OFC
 * 7) Sure, improved behaviour. Think he could handle it. - MC1
 * 8) Marcel77799
 * 9) Benboy
 * 10) He's a very interactive user. I've never had any problems with him. MsD  talk 23:55, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 11) On second thoughts... - Twisted
 * 12) In the name of serious fun, and why not. araivs (talk) 14:38, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I don't have a reason to oppose you really, but I'm not going to support because, while I don't doubt modding abilities, you're still very new. You meet the requirement to run for admin, but still. It's preferable to have at least 6 months or so moderating experience. Maybe down the road I'd be willing to support, but not ATM. -Ireithien
 * 2) Not entirely convinced he would be ready for it. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:25, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm just...neutral. I really don't have an opinion. You told me to vote, though, so here you are... A5

Oppose

 * 1) I'm still against you being a Chat Mod.  L  • S  • B
 * 2) I don't feel like you're ready for these rights, sorry. Peregrin Took (talk)
 * 3) You still strike me as incredibly immature. Sorry. Impulse
 * 4) Basically, what the rest of the opposition has said. :P Dinosaur Office RAWR!
 * 5) I honestly believe you would become a GREAT admin in the future, but currently, i believe no. I think you are not ready YET. So yeah

Comments
* What am I suppose to say? That I think your opinions are screwed? Yeah, can I just oppose?  L • S  • B
 * @Dep .....I don't break policies.
 * "retardized"? You don't break them other than that, though, really.  - White  Shadows  23:22, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh come on, it's just an obvious joke.
 * You suck take forever to cogitate.
 * LSB, that's a generally poor oppose reason, you need to give a good reason to oppose.

*Somewhere in the policy it says you must post a good reason to oppose.

* I know, but I don't want to say my opinion, because it might be too harsh, or trying to be politically correct.  L • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B                                                    * Say it anyway, I'd rather have constructive criticism.

* Your opinions are screwed. Just from what I've seen, your personaltiy                                                                                                 just isn't fitted for Admin. Call it maturity, or whatever, I just don't really think you                                                                                                                   would make the best decisions based on what I know about you. <span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:white;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px wheat;"> <font style="color: red;">L • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B
 * As I said in the OP, I just say random things on chat, I'm not really immature anymore. And any decision will come from a vote with other admins, so you don't need to worry in that department.
 * I will be praying.  <span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:white;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px wheat;"> <font style="color: red;">L  • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B


 * ...........Wat
 * @Imp immature how? I'm generally non-serious on chat, but I can be serious when I need to be.
 * @Ihave except all the oppose reasons make no sense.

A5637
I've been on this wiki for more than three years, and a mod for more than one. I've been able to positively impact the community here in my position (IMHO), and I'd like to continue to do more of the same as an Admin, if possible! I may not be the flashiest or most liked user, but I think I can be consistently counted on to be mature, knowledgable, and honest. I'll gladly take your feedback on what I'm doing right and how I can do better, and if I'm elected as an admin, I'll continue to take the community's beliefs into account when making decisions. All that being said, I'd be glad if you would support me for administrator, or at the very least give me some constructive criticsm. Thanks! A5637 (talk) 21:04, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Support. In response to Spy below, I'll only say that not all admins need to be editing maniacs. Still, to each his own.
 * 2) What Jed said.
 * 3) We already have editing maniacs that steal every available edit (Spy, Alemas, sometimes Drew), so I don't think we need any more editors. It wouldn't hurt to have another editor, but it's not exactly necessary.
 * 4) I think you could do well with these rights. Peregrin Took (talk)
 * 5) A5 would make a great mod!
 * 6) On third thoughts... Also, to Indy above ^ he is already a mod, this is an admin vote. - Twisted
 * Yes, A5 has always struck me as the admin type.
 * 1) Definitely. As people have said previously, Spy and Alemas edit plenty, I'm more concerned with an admin who focuses on the community, and I think A5 would be perfect for it. -Aok
 * 2) He's been doing a great job modding lately, isn't superficial, asks questions, all that fun stuff. Go A5 c; GuacamoleCCXR (talk) 16:42, July 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, we need another admin focused on the community. - White Shadows  16:47, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

 * Don't get me wrong, you're a great guy, but you don't seem to edit the mainspace or care about our articles and that is the reason I am reluctant to support you.
 * Per Spy, Dep. You only hit 1,000 edits today from those files, and you don't have too many mainspace edits. Articles are what make a wiki. Green-kool-aid-man.jpg LCF  (<font color="#6600FF">talk! ) Purple-kool-aid-man.jpg 22:14, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I suggest a bit more activity and some more edits. But other than that, I would support. Codyn329 (talk) 00:53, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * All above. 00:56, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * A bit more activity on the whole. MC1
 * I completely disagree with pretty much everything that's been said here. More admins would be great (we have like 4 active admins, and could really use some more), and as I've stated before, the mainspace is only one small aspect of being an administrator. At the moment, we have multiple admins who can handle the mainspace, such as Alemas, Spy, and myself. However, I'm still going neutral on this vote. I think A5 is an excellent moderator, but not quite ready for admin (although I certainly believe you're headed in the right direction - 2 months from now could be totally different if you stick with it). A5, if you'd like, I can elaborate elsewhere, but I'd prefer to not take up more space here. Drewlzoo
 * Don't know the guy very well. --Netbag (talk) 12:03, July 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not active enough. Sorry. <span class="LSB-Sig" style="background: saddlebrown;text-shadow: 0 0 5px #4D4DFF;color:white;padding:0em 0.5em;border: solid 3px wheat;"> <font style="color: red;">L • <font style="color: white;">S  • <font style="color: blue;">B
 * Indeed, I don't see you on chat that often. Alemas2005: Mostly Harmless(Talk to me) 10:25, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Same reason as LSB and Alemas.
 * Because Alemas will stab me if I don't. <font color=#000080>MsD  <font color=FF0000>talk 17:15, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) It's nothing personal, I just don't see much coming from this. <font color=#000080>MsD  <font color=FF0000>talk 17:11, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Comments
Look guys, I know I don't edit much. You know my stance on this. I do care about the wiki, and I'll make sure steps are taken to keep it current and informative, but articles aren't my main focus. I definitely care, I just care more about the administrative side of things. -A5whocan'tgethissigtowork


 * @Von: Your oppose reason certainly isn't stupid, and everyone is entitled to his own opinion. That being said, the comments section is for, well, comments, and as such I'd like to know why exactly it'd be so awful to have another admin. What's so bad about having "too many"?
