BlueSpeeder (Administrator) BlueSpeeder (talk): Contributions Edit Count

Hello there. This is a little odd, considering that this is my third time nominating myself for administrator rights. And while it feels like by now I wouldn't be able to handle those rights, let me remind you of why I can clearly handle administrator rights, along with explaining what I would do with said rights.

As you know, I am an active editor of the wiki, not as much as I was two years ago when I first nominated myself for administrator, but I'm still quite active. Recently, I've been scouting articles, finding images and asking administrators to delete them. If I were an admin, I could easily delete the images instead of, say, asking an admin on chat who might be active on the chat, taking time out of what they're doing to delete an image. Edit: See here for a list of images I've added into the category for their respective reasons, in case you don't believe in me.

Then, moderation. I'm active in the chat room for as long as I'm online; I usually check on the chat every five minutes when I'm extremely busy just to see what happened and such. I moderate, warn users when they are disobeying the rules, and ban users when necessary. I also am active on threads and forums, helping out, reminding users if the thread needs to be closed or "reminded", you get the picture.

Finally, my activeness. A huge problem we've been having on the wiki is that there aren't nearly as many active users with user rights on the wiki than there should be. I can assure you: with the amount of times I've attempted to leave (but come back a week later), I'm basically stuck here and active. Edit: Also, in case you need proof that I am active, see here and examine my activeness.

The only flaw I would say is that, when I was an admin and was under pressure, I would demote myself. While I can't necessarily prove to you that I can handle keeping my rights right now (mainly because I can't demote myself and don't have those kind of rights), I have learned my lesson and I hope you can at least give me one last shot at this.

I only ask that we keep the nomination voting as civil as possible. Please respect others opinions, and list down your opinion below. - {{User:BlueSpeeder/Signature}} 23:29, July 17, 2015 (UTC)

 * 4) You seem to be helpful and friendly, you also seem to be responsible but I do not know you much yet, just based on the Wiki Activity.  Solstice2000  •  (talk)  15:43, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 5) After a couple of thinking, I support. You are actively work in articles and help us in discussions. Also we need some Admin editors. Luma.dash (talk) 14:53, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * 6) Admin rights were always a benefit to Blue as an editor; I believe that will remain true for a while. -- 23:04, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED
 * 1) I take that you are determined and active, which are valuable points, but in my opinion, the certain maturity that these rights need to be used smoothly and without and hassle is something you don't show, letting your emotions surpass decisions and actions and I don't see the genuine interest. --Dr. Livsi (talk) 04:30, July 18, 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

 * I don't know. I am not saying I do not trust you because I know you are a great guy. However, you have been know to, and I am saying this with the outmost respect, let your emotions get the better of you. How can be sure you are not gonna go down that path again?Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 21:26, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree, how can we know that you will continue be active in Adminship, As we have a barrage of Admins with no activeness, and still have rights. Luma.dash (talk) 11:57, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Blue has discussed and proved his activity clearly on his nomination post. If he were not to be active, the reason would be genuine and that is not a negative point. --Dr. Livsi (talk) 18:02, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * If you knew User:Sesn, you can know why I have changed on voting for others. Like what Ultra said, he is good and I respect him, but we cannot give Support to everyone, even if we like him. He mustn't be active all time, as like he said before, we have also work to do in real life. But also not leaving us for months! Luma.dash (talk) 19:28, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * "If you knew User:Sesn, you can know why I have changed on voting for others." Basically, just because of Sesn, you're reluctant to support an nomination, even though Speeder said he's active? That's ludicrous. 19:55, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Like what I said for you before, It is just my opinion. Anyway, just give me sometime, and I will change my mind on this. Luma.dash (talk) 20:08, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * I did not mean it like that. What I am saying is that one time, because Blue felt in a bad mood, he was sure never to edit again and threw away his admin rights. I don't doubt his activity, I am just worried he will do something like that again.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 20:35, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 'Blue felt in a bad mood, he was sure never to edit again and threw away his admin rights'
 * It is partially the same meaning, he lose confidence on himself, so he left his rights after a short time. The problem of the requests of user rights, is that all the users come in the finale of their path in the wiki, and cannot do much, so the rights they got, will not help them sort the wiki. In my eyes, just Myself123, and User:Metal, are deleting and cleaning the articles, while the others put their hands on chat more. "While the Chat had moderators and we have not!" Luma.dash (talk) 10:37, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Are you guys serious? If Speeder drops his rights in a way that is reckless, he would be blocked for being reckless with user rights. It's that simple. Anyone who is worried from that outcome should discontinue that mindset now. 13:02, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? How could He be blocked if he just felt despair and couldn't do anything? If someone was using his rights in the wrong way, he should be demoted, and if he was vandalisming after that, then we should block him, not block him because he does not want to do things in wiki anymore Luma.dash (talk) 14:53, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Journalistic, no, he would not be blocked for forfeiting his rights as an administrator. Administrators are wiki volunteers, not workhorses. Any and every administrator is allowed to forfeit their rights at any time. No administrator is obligated to remain an administrator. If you block someone for forfeiting their rights as an administrator it will be considered misuse of your administrator tools and there will be consequences for actual reckless use of administrator tools. This isn't your call to make, Journalistic. -- 15:38, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * I talked to Journalistic on chat and he retracted his prior statements on the matter. BlueSpeeder will not be punished unless he actually breaks the rules. -- 15:56, July 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Explanation, PKMN, on why you're opposing? - 02:11, July 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * If it's all the same with you, I'd rather not talk about it here. Maybe in PM? I dunno. ~PKMNthehedgehog2.5
 * Oppositions need stronger reasoning, so atleast type something. PM won't cut it because a crat has to make a consensus from this nomination has a whole. --Dr. Livsi (talk) 10:48, July 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Eh, alright. I'll type something up. ~PKMNthehedgehog2.5
 * Free, I would like an explanation, as well. I would like all opposition comments to actually give reasoning on why so I may improve on that instead of looking at the nomination and oppose without giving a reason on why I don't deserve these rights. - 03:15, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

Conclusion
Consensus is clear: BlueSpeeder will be promoted into an administrator. This nomination will close shortly. 22:50, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
