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.

Layout
The following layout must by used for all new nominations. Nominators are encouraged to use the following code as a template, added as a new section under the current nominations and customized for the specific nominee.

Word bubbles must not be used as they interfere with numbering, and signatures must contain no line breaks. Signatures must contain a link to the relevant user's user page but no links to the pages of other users.

Username (rank requested)
Username (talk): Contributions Edit Count

Short section describing nominee's suitability for rank requested. Signature of nominator to be included at end of paragraph, along with the date of nomination.


 * For nominations by other users only, a single bulleted paragraph by the nominee accepting the nomination. Signature of nominee to be included at end of paragraph.

Discussion

 * Comments in short, signed, bulleted paragraphs.
 * Responses to specific comments should be offset with an extra asterisk. Responses should also be short, signed, single paragraphs.

Note: Adminship is not taken lightly. Nominators may want to spend time on their requests. The short section should cover reasons why the nominee would be expected to use admin tools appropriately and demonstrate that they are dedicated to the wiki. It should also explain why giving them such tools will further the aims of the wiki.

Discussion
Once a nomination has been made, users will review the nominee and declare their support or opposition by placing a short comments and their signature in the 'Support' or 'Oppose' sections (in the format of a numbered list, i.e. preceded by #). As above, word bubbles must not be used as they interfere with numbering and there must be no line breaks. Signatures must contain a link to the relevant user's user page but no links to the pages of other users. Do not try and include your entire thought process in such comments; only include the key reason or reasons for your vote.

At the same time, users are encouraged to explain their decision in the 'Discussion' section.

The 'Discussion' section can be used for further commentary or for asking the nominee questions in order to clarify your position. Comments must be short, single paragraphs in a bulleted list and include a signature. Again, do not use word bubbles, even if you frequently use one on talk pages.

Direct responses to a bulleted comment (e.g. by the nominee) should be placed directly after the comment and indented with one additional bullet point. (That is, a comment preceded by a single asterisk * would be followed by a comment preceded by two asterisks **. If you have trouble formatting lists in this way, it is recommended that you go to Special:Preferences and deactivate the visual editor under the 'Editing' tab.)

Any user can contribute to the discussion or declare support or opposition, but opinions have more weight if backed up by reasons and evidence (e.g. occasions in which the nominee has done particularly good or bad work). The opinions of long-standing users, particularly current administrators, will also tend to hold more weight than recently-joined or inexperienced users.

Resolution
Adminship and bureaucrat nominations will last for two weeks; rollback and chat moderator nominations will last for one week. In this time, nominations must have received a sufficient number of participants in order to be valid. For rollback or chat mod requests, 5 users must have participated. For adminship requests, 10 users must have participated. For bureaucrat requests, 15 users must have participated. Nominations that have not reached this quorum level at the end of the relevant period have failed. (Note that participants include those who comment and remain neutral.)

This is not a majority vote. It is an attempt to assess the community's consensus regarding the candidate. The candidate should have the support of most of the community, so if the vote is close, the candidate will probably not be given adminship.

After the two weeks have passed, a bureaucrat (a user who has even more rights than an administrator, and can give other users admin rights) will read through the request, determine the community's consensus about whether the nominee should be made an admin, and close the discussion. The discussion will be removed from this page, but is still accessible through the page's edit history.

Demotion discussions will last as long and require the same number of participants as promotion discussions about the same rank.

If a nominee decides at any time that they do not wish to pursue a promotion for themselves, they are welcome to remove the discussion entirely before it comes to a conclusion. However, a nominee is not permitted to remove a demotion request.

A nominator is entitled to remove any discussion they have posted (including a demotion request) if no other users have yet commented.

Advice
Here are some pieces of advice for nominators and nominees:
 * Follow the process as described above. Failure to do so will harm your chances of success.
 * Demonstrate that you understand what being an admin involves. Read through Help:Administrators' how-to guide if you are not familiar with the role.
 * Being a good user is not sufficient to be made an admin. Do not bring up number of edits, number of pages created, being nice to other users, not engaging in vandalism, or knowledge of the Sonic series. Only users widely recognized as good users should be nominated for adminship (those that have not demonstrated this through their work will have their nominations rejected quickly) and they do not need to prove this again during the debate for adminship.
 * Don't expect that the community will be familiar with your work. You must provide evidence. In its simplest form, this may include listing pages (or talk pages) where you have been particularly influential, but preferably you should provide a link to the Diff pages of major edits you make.
 * Don't expect that the community will necessarily be aware of your nomination. You are advised to request comments from regular users, particularly admins (a list of whom can be found here). Note, however, that only asking your own friends to comment is usually transparent and may harm your chances in the long run.
 * If you are an admin on another wiki site, this can provide good evidence of your suitability for adminship, assuming either you have been granted adminship in recognition of the work you have done on the site (as opposed to receiving it because you founded the site or were one of the only users) or you have been an effective admin having received the privileges. You must provide a link to the site in question.
 * Don't lie, as doing so will almost certainly result in a failed nomination.
 * Remember that this is not a talk page. Please keep discussions relevant to the matter at hand and do not start to chat. For instance, try not to thank everybody who votes in your favour.
 * The ideal candidate is one who is being prevented from carrying out work by the limitations of their user rights. If you can demonstrate that you would have used admin rights in the past (e.g. by tagging pages for deletion that were subsequently deleted, or informing an admin about a vandal that was subsequently blocked), provide evidence for this. Don't attempt to influence the discussion by promising to do something or act differently if you are successful, as this is a sign that you are not yet ready.
 * Don't talk about things that you don't do, only things that you do do.
 * Please be civil!
 * Don't be biased. In your reasons for voting, do not state such things as because you are "best friends" with a nominee. Your vote will be removed if it is seen as being biased.

Current nominations
Here are the users who are currently nominated for sysop, rollback, bureaucrat, or other privileges. New nominations must be added below this line.

Bullet Francisco (Adminship)
Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount

Here I am. I am renominating myself for the position of administrator of the Sonic News Network. While my reasons for having the rights remain the same, I want everyone to think about this. The way I handled the tools wasn't necessarily bad, it's just the things I did off-site. Since then, I have grown up, I have matured, I've changed. I'm going to keep this short and sweet, and I apologize for all things I've done in the past that may have offended anyone. Please, think about my nomination, and please, remember the good in me, not the bad. Thank you. -- 23:56, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ediskrad327 (Rollback)
Ediskrad327 (talk) Contributions Editcount

I nominate Ediskrad327 for the position of Rollback on the Sonic News Network. Ediskrad327 is a long-standing user, having been here since late 2010. He has remained active since he joined, and is on the wiki almost every day. He mainly looks at the edits that have been happening on the wiki, and he reverts unconstructive edits and vandalism actively. The rollback tool would be beneficial to him, as he usually looks at the WikiActivity, and can revert edits faster. A good amount of his edits are in the mainspace, and he is a good-faith editor. He's a good user, with a clean record, and I see no reason not to give him the position of rollback on the wiki, as it would be beneficial to him and to the wiki. -- 23:56, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Trak Nar (Rollback)
Trak Nar (talk) Contributions Editcount

I nominate Trak Nar for the position of Rollback on the Sonic News Network. Aside from being a 4-year (going on 5) old wiki veteran, Trak Nar is also an administrator at Wookiepedia and Star Wars Fanon. Trak Nar is an experienced wiki editor (obviously), and is also very active here on the Sonic News Network. She reverts unconstructive edits, and she's been editing in good faith since day one. I see absolutely no reason why Trak Nar shouldn't have the rights. She's active, she has a good amount of edits, and she's experienced on both other wikis and this one. -- 23:56, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Heh, you would not believe the amount of times I've been searching for that Rollback button whenever vandals and/or unhelpful edits show up.

Myself 123 (Bureaucrat)
Myself 123 (talk) Contributions Editcount

I nominate Myself 123 for the position of Bureaucrat on the Sonic News Network. Myself 123 has been on the Sonic News Network for a long time, and has also been an administrator for a long time. Myself 123 is experienced with the bureaucrat tool, and is no doubt ready to take on bureaucrat. Myself 123 also contributes to the wiki a lot, currently having the second most edits (behind Supermorff) on the wiki. Myself 123 helps all users who need it, he is a very kind user, and without a doubt a fantastic administrator. To be honest, I think a promotion for Myself 123 is long overdue. There is no doubt in my mind Myself 123 will be a fantastic bureaucrat should he get the rights, as he is already one of our best contributors. Some people may say three active bureaucrats may be too much, but I honestly fail to agree. (Due to the fact we've had 3 active bureaucrats on the wiki before, and when it was much smaller) It honestly can't hurt to have another active bureaucrat, especially when it is one who will do a fantastic job at that. -- 23:56, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

 * This may be a case of shooting myself in the foot here, but I haven't actually had a chance to use my bureaucratic rights on the Scott Pilgrim wiki. Before my unexpected hiatus, the SP wiki did start to gain a small community and I was going to open a Requests For Adminship page, but my computer died.

I've been on this wiki for quite some time and I've worked very hard editing it with the aid of my Rollback status as well as monitoring the chat with my chat mod status and overall I am very active on this wiki. I’ve also frequently put the deletion tag on spam pages. Here are some links to examples of my reverts of vandalism:

As Admin I would block troublesome users (as well as their sock puppets) after a sufficient amount of warnings, help new users, and delete unneeded pages and underused images. I truly love this wiki and have ever since I joined. I remember in my early days I gave the wiki a chat and then moderated it for many months. I want to help this wiki grow some more with my admin powers if you the community think I deserve to be able to use them. 05:10, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) There is no doubt in my mind: I have nothing but the up-most respect for FreeSmudger. I've known him and I've been close friends with him ever for almost a year now, and being friends with him is far from the reason I am supporting him. Free Smudger is a fantastic user. There is no doubt in my mind that FreeSmudger will be a fantastic admin, should he get the position. FreeSmudger is a fantastic chat moderator, has made great use of the Rollback tool, and is an experienced wiki editor, who has been at the Sonic News Network for a year now. The tools will be nothing but beneficial to the wiki and to FreeSmudger. He constantly tags pages for deletion, he edits actively, he helps any user who needs it, he follows all Sonic News Network policies, and even though his editcount may be considerably less than other admins, quality>quantity definitely applies in this case. FreeSmudger has done major overhaul and cleanup on many articles.

Oppose

 * 1) I also oppose this for my own reasons. It seems you only joined, the August of last year. A lot of your edits come from User pages, blogs, speaking with other users, fanart etc. Though I will admit over half of your edits are mainspace. You've also been recently made a Chat Moderator. So now you're looking for Adminship? (even though alot of users think editcounts don't matter I still add this) Your edit count is also only about 3000. Don't think that will help, many users became admins when their edit counts were much higher (mine was 11,000). So I'm sorry for voting against you, but I must say what I believe. -- <font color="Crimson">Murphyshane - <font color="#00b6ee"> 熱! <font color="#C0C0C0">Don't click here   09:58, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * @Murphy He's been here for a year, he got Chat Mod almost a year ago, and got rollback over 7 months ago. Also, he doesn't do very many minor edits, a lot of his edits are overhaul edits and reverting cases of vandalism. Quality > Quantity. -- 10:01, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

MetalShadow272 (Chat Moderator)
MetalShadow272 (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I really feel that I'm ready to get my Chat Moderator rights back. I've been able to come on the chat almost every day, realize the rules, and I've (almost) gotten used to the changes I've been seeing around the chat lately. I'm realized everything that I've done wrong that got me demoted in the past, and I've been trying to improve on what I do so I can prove that I'm ready for Moderator once again and to prove that I've learned my lesson. I promise I will be an even greater Mod than I ever was before. All I want to know is if you trust me with this. -- Lightning   the   Hedgehog  05:36, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Absolutely: MetalShadow272 is an outstanding user. He has been very active since he joined the wiki. He is a long standing user, and he used his mod rights (when he had them) to the best of his ability. I'd even go as far to say that he was one of the best chat moderators we ever had. He's learned his lesson since his demotion, and he is more than ready to take on chat moderator again. -- 05:37, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Some of his recent behaviors still concern me as to whether or not he's mature enough to handle a Chat Mod position. I believe I've seen some recent issues of him acting immature and even downright rude within the past week or two? If he improves his behavior then maybe I'll reconsider my vote, but until then I'll oppose him being promoted to a Mod position. Lloyd the Cat  "I don't die. I just go on adventures."  07:08, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

 * I will remain neutral. I do trust you with having the rights of a chat moderator again, however, I think you should work on your emotions. You tend to get upset quite often over the most trivial of subjects, which in turn can be your downfall if you were to be promoted again. Work on your emotions. Work on your reactions. A chat moderator has to keep a leveled head, even in stressful situations. 05:44, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * I, too, am going to remain neutral. No offense to Metal, as he may be a terrific chat mod. However, I would need to cite DF for my hesitation.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:28, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm neutral too, per DF
 * In response to all this, while he has gotten upset over trivial subjects, he does talk it out and he does leave chat before things get out of hand to stop himself and give him time to think. A lot of users currently do that, and I respect them for that. His emotions have been in check, and as I said, he's been handling things just as responsibly as a chat moderator. He has been mature, he just got upset over some comments and handled it fine. He's improved. -- 09:27, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remain neutral as well, per DF. 14:46, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Fly the Fox (Chat Moderator)
Fly the Fox (talk) Contributions Editcount

I, Fly the Fox, nominate myself for chat mod. I'm usually cool under pressure, and usually on chat most of the time. I edit the wiki regularly now. I could use the chat moderator rights to mine and the wiki's advantage, and I could use the rights to help solve arguments. Thank you. --

Support

 * 1) Absolutely: I support. Fly is a very mature young man. I've known him and have been close to him since I joined back in February of 2012. I've seen him grow, and he's always been very close to me throughout this all. Fly has been on chat for 12 hours a day everyday since his return to the wiki. Now, I don't have much to say about him but that I have the most upmost respect for him. I know what he's gone through, and he has matured while still maintaining his personality and spirit. Something very rare in today's society. On the wiki, he's been just the same. Fly's been dealing with arguments and issues a lot recently, and a promotion seems to be overdue. -- 06:03, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Yes, he has been very mature on chat, and he deserves these rights.  I like Hatsune Miku.   Problem?  06:05, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Bullet. Good luck. 06:09, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Fly has been on the chat a lot recently, and has shown himself to be very mature. I support. Lightning   the   Hedgehog
 * 5) Fly seems pretty level from what I've seen. A bit rambunctious at times, particularly regarding MLP, but honestly... it's really no different from the behavior I've seen on IRC from other people. Chats tend to be a bit more looser, and oftentimes, we feel freer to act silly. I see no problem with acting silly. As long as one maintains a civil attitude when conflict arises, then who cares if one also feels like doing a bit of harmless trolling on the channel? As long as it doesn't devolve into personal attacks and the individual can remain in control, then nothing wrong with having a bit of fun. It's like when I'll post an image of an insect or spider on IRC; I know that no one but me likes bugs and spiders. I know that almost everyone on the channel is wary about them. However, I admit that I get a laugh when I see a "KILL IT WITH FIRE!" response to an image that is clearly labeled as depicting an insect. :P It's harmless.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:38, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) I'm changing my mind.I'm supporting (I only put that message in the discussion cause I was having a bad day at school). Fly diserves to be a chatmod. [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] Will   Rose  [[File:Will Life Icon.png]] 08:13, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * Should we remove his comment then unless he provides a better reason? -- 07:00, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know. You do go on chat for a long time. But you do be rude at times at least when I'm on. As you keep telling me to watch MLP even though I'm not interested with it or interested in watching the show.
