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 modify 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 bureaucrat (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.

Sonictoast (Rollback)
Well, I'd like to nominate Sonictoast for adminship. He's contributed alot to this wiki, mostly in much needed pictures. While I may not know him, I know that he hasn't caused trouble in his time here, and he's done alot. Considering he does almost entirely pictures, I feel that sysop may not be quite right, as he would rarely use it in my opinion. However, I believe in many sayings, and one of those would be, "Give credit where credit is due".--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 15:50, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

LB, will you stop it with all the flash and junk. It gets really annoying.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 17:34, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Neutral - Sonictoast is a great user, but as you said he's unlikely to use the privileges. And as these privileges are not status upgrades or promotions, I don't see the point. If you want to give him credit, give him a barnstar. (First, make a barnstar, then give it to him.) -- Supermorff 17:54, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure you can't do that with rollback. You'd need sysop privileges. And, once again, no, they are not a reward in any sense. If a person has, as you put it, slogged their stars off, then they probably do a good job and thus should get privileges so they can do a better job. But it's not a given. -- Supermorff 18:44, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's true.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 18:51, October 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Gang, just noticed you're all talking about me. Honestly, I am honored to be considered.  Truthfully, yes I would love to be an administrator.  I am not sure what all the privileges of an administrator are, but I promise, if given such privileges I will do my best to use them to their potential for the good of this wiki.  So when you make your decision, just know that I am more than willing to take on the position.

P.S. What's sysop? Sonictoast 20:13, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

The level of admin that can delete articles, ban Users, and all the usual stuff.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 20:15, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

So, are we gonna go anywhere with this?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 00:21, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have no particular complaint against Sonictoast receiving admin privileges, although I maintain that rollback is fairly pointless. -- Supermorff 08:11, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

"Not a snowball's chance"? Launchbrains, how could you doubt someone you don't even know that well? You mustn't judge a person by their edits -- whether it be in quantity or quality. Still, he's done a very good job here on SNN, and I'd be more than happy to grant him the status. However, and it has been said here many times, he may not ever really need to use the advantages. Rollback would be more appropriate. He has my vote for either one. -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  05:33, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Shelly, how else are we to judge someone for adminship if not by their edits? -- Supermorff 09:35, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Bionicleboy3000 (Admin)
I've been waiting a LOOONG time to nominate this guy! Anyways, I think he could make for a great admin, because he not only follows the rules, he enforces them! And, he founded the Shadow Spy Net Wiki, and takes good care of it. Plus, he created the, which has come in handy numerous times here on the wiki. He is a responsible, friendly user who deserves to be made admin of the Sonic News Network. Who's with me?! -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  03:39, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, now that Akamia's back on, I've got three words for ya: AKAMIA FOR ADMIN!!--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 03:41, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * No - In the last three months he has not edited a single mainspace article (and only one mainspace talk page). He is not really taking an active role in the site, and thus I feel it would not be right to make him an admin. -- Supermorff 09:35, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - That is because I hardly know what to edit, Supermorff. Most of what I know, when I find it out, it ends up being on the page I intend to edit. AND I was away because I was very busy. I'm active again, and am ready to take on anything thrown at me. Even adminship. I was gone in those three months anyhow. And, before then, I recall editing Master Emerald a couple of times.-- A k  a  m  i  a ( Talk )( Want to see what I've been doing? ) 09:53, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if you're back now, I will surely keep an eye out for your contributions over the next few weeks. I may change my vote then. But for right now, my vote is still no. -- Supermorff 15:30, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Michaeldragon800 (Administrator)
Hello everyone i would like to request to become an admin of this site. I've been a User here for months now, And i've been uploading pages for recently new Archie Comics, and made some good edits on some pages too, and i do have responsabillity when going around this site and i'll even help amke some changes to recent relaeses that you guys were to lazy enough to update it, no offence BTW, So is there any chance of how i can become an admin of this site.(I already gone through the rules of being an Admin of the site) -- User:Michaeldragon800.

I know i was abit like that many weeks ago, but i changed abit and i'm not too obseesed with the trivia section anymore but i do know whats right for the trivia section, And i know about how i got blocked because of an edit war but i learned my lesson from that and decide to resson for now on. -- User:Michaeldragon800.


 * No for now - I am very pleased you've learned your lesson about edit warring, well done, but you still place far too much emphasis on Trivia sections, often reverting good edits when you restore them. -- Supermorff 09:35, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
