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 customised 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.


 * 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 oppostion, 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
Nominations will last for two weeks. In this time, nominations must have received a sufficient number of participants in order to be valid. For rollback 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 after two weeks have failed. (Note that participants includes those who comments 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.

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 recognised 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!

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.

Rainbowroad6w (Rollback and Chat Mod)
Hello there. I'm attempting to become a Rollback and Chat Mod on this wiki. I've been working at this wiki for about 3 years now, and have been found trustworthy by many.

I want to become a Rollback considering all the vandalism that can be found here. So many times I just want to rollback something that a "troll" has done easily, but of course, I would have to undo it, give it a reason, and take longer. This is why I would like to become rollback.

I want to become a Chat Mod because I've noticed how people can be on there, and I've said many times I will be a Chat Mod. I've been told by a few that I'm trusted and that I would be worthy of being a Chat Mod, which is why I'm requesting for this rank as well. I want to make sure no cursing is aloud that is not censored, and that very inappropriate talk would not happen, as well as making sure that everyone cooperates and we don't get into a big fight.

 * 1) Yes: You are highly deserving of these titles, do well with them! --
 * 2) Both: Yes: I think you'll make a good chat mod and a good Rollback to the SNN. I had seen you on the chat a lot, so I think that you would be a good choice to watch over the chat. And I think you would be a good Rollback, and I think I can trust you to help the wiki. Lightning the Hedgehog:  The Electricity Master  17:40, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Yes to both. Your rules are fair and square, so I'll support ya. That is, if you start acting a bit more social. --- Knowall, September 24, 2011 16:06
 * 4) Yes to Chat Mod: I've always seen you as more of a blogging person. Jake the Hedgehog That's Just How I Roll! 03:02, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Sure: You are friendly and seem dedicated to the wiki. Rollback or Chat Mod aren't really a big deal anyway.
 * 6) Yes to both: I know I'm kind of new to the Sonic Wiki, but I have been on another wiki for a long time and I know good lead qualities when I see them. I see that you demonstrate them well and you deserve the rights. User:Ivystripe/sig 22:53, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) No to both: You aren't ready for a promotion yet, IMO. I rarely see you do anything besides blogging, and I've seen you insult several users recently (in both occassions, you called them an idiot). If you seek to impress me, improve your attitude.  Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  19:45, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) No to both: There are several instances you have been quite rude, and you don't seem to do a lot of work on the wiki as said by Genesjs. Charlie 02:06, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) No to Rollback: See above reason. Jake the Hedgehog That's Just How I Roll!  03:03, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) No: I'm afraid not, Rainbow. Genesjs has proven some points already, I've rarely seen you edit the mainspace. Plus, sometimes you have made a few unnecessary and/or rude comments in the past on a few blogs. My best recommendation is to start working on articles in the main space, and before you comment on any blog posts, think before you post. I'll have to give myself a [[File:Promotion image.jpg]] 16:09, September 25, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79

I want to become a rollback because if I do, I'll get lots of respect and my blog will have lots of comments. I want to see how we can make The SNN a better place. I've been editing on this wiki for about two and a half years now.

Oppose

 * 1) No: "I want to become a rollback because if I do, I'll get lots of respect and my blog will have lots of comments?" Is this is a joke? Are you not taking this seriously? And for someone who claims to have been editing SNN for approximately two and a half years, your currently very low edit count (84) doesn't give me the impression that you've been spending a lot your time here doing anything productive.  Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  22:28, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) No: Pretty much what Gen said. --
 * 3) No: You are joking right? --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. [[File:SportySmallRightAnimation.gif]]( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 01:56, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) No: I concur with what everyone else before me said. Jake the Hedgehog That's Just How I Roll!  03:04, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) You haven't even followed the guidance on this page and signed your introductory paragraph. -- Supermorff 07:02, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) I can't see any qualifying traits about this nomination or the nominee. Also, getting respect and comments on your blogs is not a good way to become a rollback. Especially not a good way to become an admin.-- A k  a  m  i  a ( Talk )( Want to see what I've been doing? ) 09:34, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) That's not the reason to become rollback. You should do so to help benefit the wiki, not for personal glory. I think it's going to be some time before you're ready for rollback.  Myself  123  12:59, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose: Per what everyone else said. You might have been here for a while, but I don't see a strong need for rights at the moment. Maybe if you find more vandalism and improve the quality of your edits.

Bullet Francisco (Adminship)
Bullet Francisco (talk): Contributions Edit Count

Before you vote, please hear me out.

About a year ago, I joined SNN, I was quickly fascinated with it's highly detailed facts and trivia. At the time, I had known about SNN since the summer of 2010. I made constructive edits as a Wikia Contributor, then I finally decided I would make an account and join SNN. To date, I am one of the SNN's most active contributors, I have Rollback (which I use a Lot, very helpful tool), I warn vandals, I find admins to block vandals, I edit in the mainspace, I am very kind to the users of the Sonic News Network. I also help everyone that asks help from me. Below I have listed reasons why I deserve and need adminship.

Activity: As I said, I am one of SNN's most active contributors, I try and make at least 50 edits a day, and I have many mainspace edits, I also have a PSP, iPod, and a 3DS, this way, I am always on the SNN, like many others, I have set my email to buzz when I get new messages on the SNN, this way I can respond right away. I am also a night owl, I am usually on late at night when most others are not on. In my opinion, I am one of the most active contributors SNN has to offer.

Attitude toward other users: On the SNN, I am a very kind person. I help many people make signatures, customize their userpage, many users also come to me asking if their edit was good. I am also very honest. I rarely tell lies, and when I do I feel very bad. I also point new users in the right direction, make sure they are not spamming, etc. Overall, I am a very kind person on the SNN.

Experience with the tools: Some of you may ask if I have experience with adminship, the answer is yes. I am an admin on the Pokemon Wiki, Chocolate Wiki, Sonic Story Wiki, Knuckles Wiki, and the Punch Out!! - Out of those, only the Pokemon Wiki is a big one, but I am very good with the tools, I know how to use every tool, I am also very good with coding and when it come to Media Wiki pages. I have full experience with the tools and know how to use them. I even started cleaning up the Punch Out!! And Kid Icarus Wikis, and I think I'm doing a great job.

Fighting vandalism: I am very experienced when it comes to fighting vandalism, I am always there to mark a page for deletion, rollback or undo edits by a vandal, and warning them. I am always on he prowl for vandalism and I make sure it doesn't happen.

The "Skills": I feel very confident that I have the skills necessary for adminship, I can be patient, honest, and kind when you need me too, I can also give out good warnings to vandals. I've been on wikis since 2008 starting out on the NIWA Mario Wiki (Not Wikia). I was an admin on that site as well. I'm very good with the admins tools as I said, and I am very active, edit in the mainspace, and I think I have the traits necessary to make a great admin.

'''Why do I need adminship? And How will me getting adminship be helpful to the wiki?:''' As I said, I am one of SNN's most active contributors, and getting adminship won't stop that, I will continue to edit in the mainspace, etc. But why do I need admin, and how will it be beneficial to the wiki? I need admin, though I have only been here for a few months, I have seen many vandals, a lot of which haven't gotten blocked right away, if I was admin at that time, I could've blocked those vandals right away and I know how to set a reasonable time due to my experience. I also need admin for the pages that need deletion, a lot of the time, the spam pages are not deleted within that hour it was made, I could have easily deleted them. Aside from these two things, like I said, I am a night owl, during the night when not many admins are on, I am there, to protect the wiki and keep it from being vandalized. I also want to help out in deleting the duplicate images and help customize the Media Wiki pages. Though we do have quite a bit of admins, I feel that I am highly worthy of adminship. In this case, I think the number of admins is irrelevant, because I am on at night, when most admins are not, also, most of the admins are either inactive or less than active at the moment, leaving us with about 5 or 4 actually active admins. Also, please refrain from saying I am "new" to this wiki, because a lot of our admins got their tools months after they joined, I have been here for about a few months, which is about the amount of time it took most admins to get their tools, which is more than enough time and experience on the wiki.

Please do not count me out, I am a great editor, and I know how to use the tools, I can do some more great things for this wiki..

For these reasons and more, I strongly believe I deserve adminship. --

 * 13) Yes: I agree with the other's. Francisco has been on this wiki for less than a year, and has done an overwhelmingly good job in helping to maintain it. I believe he is a very good example of what an admin should be like on any wiki. I am not saying he is perfect at it, no one is. But he does outstanding work im fighting vandaalism, and helping with the articles. I say he should become an admin. Therefore, he has my vote, for whatever good it will do.

Discussion

 * Bullet is definitely not a "good" user. He puts on a mask, becomes admin, treats you like his friend, and then is secretly having a crat hate you. He lies and isn't trustworthy. Technology Wizard
 * Who might you be? Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  20:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I used to be his "friend" on Pokemon Wiki. He added me on SSBB and skype but then tricked me and had me demoted from adminship to nothing and had the crat ban me. I highly suggest not letting him be an admin here. There are obviously other users that are better off for this right. Technology Wizard
 * Wrong. I never lied to you once, he's overreacting because I agreed to ban him and strip him of his admin position on Pokemon Wiki, and is deciding to threaten my life here. I'm contacting Staff. --
 * This is drama that's spilled off from the Pokemon wiki to here, Technology Wizard was promoted to admin there, and the relationship between him and the other sysops was abrasive, which lead to his demotion. TW seems to be holding a grudge against Bullet. From what I've seen about Bullet's administration in the matter, it's been fully positive --  Random Time  21:01, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am speaking for myself on a nomination. What is wrong with that? Technology Wizard
 * TT, if you have any references, could you please provide some? Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  21:04, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Look at his behavior here and then how it drastically changes here. He went from "my friend" to "my enemy" out of nowhere. Last night on chat, we were talking like friends, and then I guess he suggested my demotion today. Just be warned is all I can say. Technology Wizard
 * If mI may say something, I was against your demotion the first time because it was an argument between you and another admin, and was more personal, if anything, and if you got demoted, the other admin should've been as well for that matter. When you tried to demote the other admin (For nothing, actually), it was the last straw, your attitude got way out of hand and we admins decided to demote you. --
 * Not really. You decided to ban me. You probably didn't even read it. However this isn't the place to discuss this, I am simply replying to Genejs. Technology Wizard
 * I think this conversation is to be stopped, Tech, like the Central Admin said, what you did here is punishable by Wikia. See here. --
 * I think everyone has made their point on this matter, so I'm going to leave this discussion here so those who're interested can read it and make up their own minds about who is telling the truth, but keep in mind that I cannot guarantee that it will stay here. Just try to remain civil with one another if it can be helped. Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  21:34, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Katrins (Adminship)
Katrins (talk): Contributions Edit Count

Well I think I should be admin cause I've been here in the wiki for almost 2 years I kknow what to do, I know the rules and regulations, and I don't live in America so I can guard the Wiki while it's night time in America. And I know how this wiki works and I can protect it better. I wanna be an Admin to protect this wiki from vandals (and I have dealed with a lot of them) being an admin would be very useful for me since I'm always here everyday. I want to make the wiki better and safe for everyone. I have reverted many vadnals over the past year and a half (too many that I can't remember some to be honest) I have even added some information that are very useful. One of the many vandals I've face is Exbex with help of DarkFuture and Francisco we were able to get the wiki back to normal. I believe that I would be a good admin Mikee the Echidna   Emeralds Power   08:15, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

 * Kat, I hate to say it, but your not quite ready, give it a few months, help out users, undo unconstructive edits, and stay active, and you will be ready, you just became a rollback, try waiting another 3 or 4 months. --
 * 1) What Bullet said...---[[File:Hyper_Sonic_Modern.gif]] Fly the Fox! Master of Fire!  18:34, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) We have enough active duty Admins as it is, we don't need anymore. You may be a good user and frequent editor, but like possibly every other future Admin nomination, I will strongly oppose it until one of our current Admins leave. I have nothing against you. Lloyd the Cat  "I hog that hedgehate!"  19:49, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose: You may be a nice editor and very friendly, but I think we have enough admins at this point. I would also like to see a little more effort.

Discussion

 * Kat, not to mention it again, but you can also only use the computer on weekends, and Half the time, you aren't even editing. Also, blocking users isn't even half of being an admin. It's much more than that, you have to help users, etc. You may want to think about this. --    Bullet Francisco  (   Talk   |   Contribs   |   Edit Count   )   19:19, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

DarkFuture (Adminship)
DarkFuture (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I nominate myself for adminship for the following reasons:

Vandalism: Throughout my time here on SNN, I have faced many vandals who come here with the intention of vandalizing our articles and creating pages with vulgar titles "for the lulz". Many vandals are not dealt with right away. They are free to vandalize until an admin blocks them. Here, I have a few examples of such vandals who have vandalized and spammed our articles: User talk:Chickkkkkennn dipppersss, 174.57.209.80, 75.75.65.18, Template:Character, Template:Nihongo. These are but a few of the many vandals that I have dealt with. Do we really want people to see such material on this site while simply browsing? I most certainly hope not. This is very embarrassing. If I were an admin at the time they were vandalizing, I could have blocked these users right away, giving a proper duration for their banishment.

Rollback: A few months ago, I nominated myself for Rollback rights. I have used this tool numerously to revert the edits of vandals and spammers many times. Here are a few examples of my usage of the Rollback tool: Chaos, Big the Cat, Cosmo the Seedrian.

I would like to share with all of you one specific vandal that made "unconstructive edits" to many of our articles. Special:Contributions/Exbex With the help of Katrins and Bullet Francisco, I was able to restore all of these pages to their original states. Thank you for your time.

 * 2) Absolutely YES, YES, YES!!! I think it be right if your an admin. Your an awesome contributor. and you are pretty good at fighting vandals. You've dealt with 15 Vandals. and I think your more than ready to be an admin! Good luck Dark Future! ^_^  Lily the Girl  who Loves Anime &amp; Manga 01:37, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Yes: Yeah you're really ready to become an admin ^^ Mikee the Echidna  Emeralds Power   11:01, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I think you are ready to become an Admin.-- 23:30, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Sure: If you seek helping fight vandalism, I don't see why not. I have checked your contribs and I think admin would fit you.
 * 6) Absolutely, although adminship would recquire that you increase your overall activity. Stay on more often, and you'll possibly get the charge, eventually. --- Knowall, September 30, 2011 19:01
 * 7) I'm sayin' this on the dupport section, so do I halfta say "Yes"? I've seen you on a little more often recently, plus you're a great editor and a good helper to other users (you've helped me more than once!). I think that you'll make a great admin, if you become one. Lightning the Hedgehog:  The Electricity Master  22:15, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) No: Like BF said, you aren't on all that much, plus, I once again say I don't think we need more than one admin being nominated right now. This is chaos how many people want to become admin. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. [[File:SportySmallRightAnimation.gif]]( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 19:30, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't see you on very often. Also, like I said in previous nominations, until one of our current Admins leaves their position, then I see no necessity in adding yet another number to the list of Active/Partially Active Admins. We have at least 5 active Admins and Crats, and a few partially active Admins who were given their promotions recently, and I think that's a sufficient number unless someone can convince me otherwise.

 * 3) No: I'm honestly sorry, and I hope you do not take offense to this, but your activity is very low, and you haven't been on all that much. And other than rollbacking edits, you haven't proved to me you can handle vandals, plus, you mainly just socialize with the same users (Katrins, Amyroselove) on here when you are active. Your attitude on and off the wiki has been a little off lately, which isn't really what we need in an admin. If you stay active, fix your attitude, socialize less, and do some more admin-like things, then maybe in a few months you will be ready for this position. Again, I apologize, and I hope you don't take offense to what I said, after all, you are one of my best friends on and off the wiki. And so far, all the people who have voted to support your nomination are your friends, try asking other people, otherwise it won't prove that you deserve adminship. And ignoring other users' messages doesn't help, either. Once Again, I don't mean to be offensive.--
