Sonic News Network:Requests for User Rights

Requests for adminship (RfA) is the process by which this wiki's community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional features, most notably the ability to delete pages and to block users. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please become familiar with the Administrators' how-to guide before submitting your request. This process is modeled around Wikipedia's RfA process, and more information can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.

Nominating
To submit a nomination, please create a section below the "Current nominations for adminship" line listing the nominee's username as a piped link to his/her userpage. Below that, please include a statement about why you are nominating this person and why you think they will be a good admin. The nominee should then accept (or reject) the nomination, and include a statement about why (s)he wants to become an admin, why (s)he thinks (s)he is a good candidate, and what (s)he plans to do with administrator rights. All parties must sign sign and date their statements.

To submit a self-nomination, please create a section below the "Current nominations for adminship" line listing your username as a piped link to your userpage. Below that, please include a statement about why you want to become an admin, why you think you are a good candidate, and what you plan to do with administrator rights. Please sign and date your statement.

'''Editorial Note: Adminship is NOT taken lightly. You may actually want to spend some time on your request. A couple sentences is hardly sufficient to show that you won't cause more problems than you solve with admin tools, let alone that you think that there is a good reason why more admins are necessary and that you would be a good candidate for a new admin, that you're willing to put time and effort into this wiki, and that you know how to use admin powers properly and would do so.'''

Process
Users may list questions for the candidate (which it would probaby be good to answer) in the Questions section and/or comment in support of or opposition to the request for adminship in the Discussion section. In the Discussion section, please preceed your post with Oppose, Neutral, or Support (you may modifies those with Strong or Weak.) Please not that this is not a majority vote, it is an attempt to assess the community's consensus regarding the candidate. Moreover, to become an admin, the candidate should have the support of most of the community, so if the vote is split, the candidate will probably not be given adminship. After a reasonable amount of time, a bureacrat (a user who has even more rights than an administrator, and can give other users admin rights) will read through your request, determine the community's consensus about whether you should be made an admin, and close the discussion.

Current Nominations For Adminship
Here are the users who are currently nominated for sysop, rollback, or other privileges. After the answer has been given, please remove their section. Only users with priveliges may cast a vote on giving another user rights. Majority rules. Please remember to give a reason as to why you think a user does, or doesn't deserve to be an admin. Please place Yes, or No before your initial comment, and user :'s, and *'s to reply to another users comment. Non-admins may place their opinion, but their vote will be ignored.

SLJ's-a Nominat'n
Oh, YES Please voice your opinions!  SLJCO  AAATR  So  ul  23:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I'll start off with a big fat No for all of these. Back when I was campaignin' for ops, SLJ, you claimed that the 2 active admins (i.e. you and FFF) were adequate for the task. Now we have 4 (Me and Monkey); and you want to DOUBLE that number?? ''Make up your mind!!!??1?! ¯\(°_o)/¯ - LOL
 * Also, with respect to Bionicle; you do realise that setting up another Sonic wiki takes manpower and editors away from us rather than adding it, don't you? So if anything, Bionicle should get a BAN rather than Ops... The Doctor... IS IN Molten Scandium  00:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am desperate for SNN improvement, and was greedy at the time of your editorial, and hardly knew you. I wasn't about to just go make some dude I just met an admin. I at least know more of these people. Besides, what will more help harm?
 * As for Bionicle, by that logic, anyone including you, FFF, me, and several others should be banned.  SLJCO  AAATR  So  ul  00:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's very GOOD logic, isn't it? :D
 * Although I'll have you know that my Userpage itself complains angrily about there being seperate sites for different bits of Sonic info. Collecting it all together in one place is the whole reason I'm here at all. So BIONICLE'S WIKI MAKES MOLTEN ANGRYYYYYYYYY!!!
 * On the other hand, your argument 'it can't do any harm' is fair play. I maintain "no" for now, on the reasons outlined above, but I may change my mind if I see the members of this motley crew perpetuate impressive fantasticness at some point in the future. The Doctor... IS IN Molten Scandium  01:05, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You hold a very good debate with the seperate wiki thing, but hey, that's up to Central Wikia, not us. I don't agree with it too much either, but if we have, we might as well help it. And hey, they could go a litte more in-depth in places that we really don't. Maybe someday, when we all fail, we can merge into one win.  SLJCO  AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  02:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Molten, we have over one thousand articles already. If we're going to make this wiki get to its full potential we need seperate admins with different specialities to patrol certain parts of the wiki.<font color="#FF2400">Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  07:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not in a rush or anything, but does anyone know roughly how long this discussion/vote is going to be open? I know Mystic hasn't had a say yet, but all of the active bureaucrats have. I guess I'm just a little curious as to who's in (besides The Doctor, I mean). -- Supermorff 12:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Am i am admin yet? the suspence is like needing to pee but not being able to pee. Show me that golden bathroom.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  01:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait, we need unanimous consensus rather than just a democratic majority? SWEET! I can put the whole process on hold indefinatly, on my own, just out of general douchebaggery! :D
 * Ha-hem. But I'm not going to do so, irrespective of how much lulz it might garner. I hereby rescind my vague and nebulous objections to User:Supermorff and User:Myself 123's Adminship. Over the previous couple of days, I've discovered that they have indeed been toiling away in the shadows for some weeks - and even moreso of late (which almost makes me want to prevaricate for more time, if the specter of just-out-of-reach Sysops encourages their productivity?).
 * Havn't seen nickno blitzkreiging the Recent Changes list of late, though; perhaps if someone would point me in the direction of their Ops-worthy contributions, I might be swayed?
 * Bionicle... still not much on this Wiki to my knowledge. Get some good edits under your belt, though, and I'll be happy to reconsider. <font color="#FE2712">The Doctor... IS IN <font color="#000000">Molten <font color="#B8860B">Scandium  02:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Well. Now that I look closer, it seems we don't have unanimity because User:Mystic Monkey has e-vanished sans voting. Ah, well. Sorry Mystic. But I think it was just about time for the polls to close anyway. WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE. (Actually it can, but... meh) <font color="#FE2712">The Doctor...

User:Myself 123 (Sysop)

 * YES: I would like to nominate Myself, as a sysop on behalf that he has done alot of work to tidy up the Wiki. I believe that making him a sysop would encourage him to do more work, and enable him to get rid of spam, without pestoring another user for help. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Big fat yes: Myself is definitely one of the best anti-vandalism users on this wiki. No vandalism gets passed him, and this is a big wiki. If we're gonna make this place seem even remotely respectable, we're gonna need a lot of man power for all the different jobs, and Myself is the best for dealing with vandalism.<font color="#FF2400">Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  08:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Accept. I belive as a admin, i will be able to deal with vandelism in a more efficiant manner as i will be able to delete spam articles, rollback several vandal edits and, if needed, block vandals. Overall, i belive i will realy benefit from becoming an admin.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  13:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Where's Mystic? I haven't seen him in ages and he has yet to vote.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  11:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

User:Supermorff (Sysop)

 * YES: I'm nominating Super due to the fact that in the short amount of time he's been back, he's already been hard at work, making SNN a happier, cleaner place. He's helped me to notice a few articles for deletion that I missed, and that's always a huge help. Too bad I'm not always around to do those deletions. *Wink-wink* <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes: Supermorff has proven to be a very capable user and has always come to me when a bogus article needs deleting. This tells me he has a sense of duty and will always do his job good.<font color="#FF2400">Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  07:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Accept. Thanks to SLJ for this nomination, which I accept. I'm already a sysop on a couple of other wikis, so I know more or less how the job works. In general, I don't expect sysop privileges to change the way I edit very much, but I'd be more than happy to step in if there is a problem that needs some attention (like spam or vandalism, etc). And, for the record, considering the huge number of edits that take place on this site, I suspect that you might appreciate having more than four admins on staff in the future. -- Supermorff 01:17, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just realised you might appreciate knowing on which wikis I'm an admin. They are GargWiki and Watchmen Wiki. Check me out if you feel like it. I think my work speaks for itself. -- Supermorff 01:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've taken a quick glance at the Watchmen Wiki before, very nice. Didn't look at the users there, but I thought it was nice, while trying to avoid spoilers, as I'm still yet to read te novel, or see the movie. :P <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  02:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

User:Supernicknobros (Sysop)

 * YES: Since he returned, Nick's been very busy, and hard at work with making articles for the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics. One of which, quickly became a Featured Article. He even sort of sparked new life upon the FAOTM, to say, and inspired me to create the FUOTM. He's already a rollback, and has made good use of it. Being a sysop would likely encourage him to do more hard work, and help him clean up spam that he can't already clean. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes: Nick is by far a great user. Talented is template creation, has an intimate knowledge of Archie Sonic subjects and would rove very useful to us. Giving him adminship would definitely increase his potential.<font color="#FF2400">Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  07:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Accept. I'm not the best you can get, but I learn and I've improved in helping wikis. I've done stuff for the Smash Wiki, ArchieSonic Wiki, and the Sonic Wiki (of course). Sysop privileges will be useful for any problems that pop up here or there. I'll always be up to the task and ready for action! <font color="#0000FF">* <font color="#1E90FF">* <font color="#0000FF">* <font color="#0000FF">Super! <font color="#0000FF">~ <font color="#1E90FF">Nickno  01:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

User:Bionicleboy3000 (Rollback)

 * YES: Bionicle's / Akamia's done ittle work for us yet, but has started his own Wiki, the Shadow Spy Net, our latest sister wiki, and is already shaping it out nicely. I'd think that once here, he could help us a little, while he digs for resources for his wiki. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Uncertain: I know very little about Akamia and the work he has done. Show me some of his best work and I may change my vote.<font color="#FF2400">Fair <font color="#FFA500">field <font color="#FF2400">fencer <font color="FF2400">F <font color="#FFA500">F <font color="#FF2400">F  07:19, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No x2!: Well, even though I've no-ed everything, let me just no this AGAIN. The others at least I have seen do good work, and IF you had convinced me we needed more admins (which you havn't), the above 3 are the folks I would choose. Bionicle; not so much. No specific problem in principle with the fellow becoming an Admin at some later date, but to hand out the Sysops before he's really done ANYTHING in this wiki seems a formula born of madness to me. <font color="#FE2712">The Doctor...
