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)

{{User:Launchballer/talk|Yes: Filling in empty images is exactly what we need. Unfortunately, most of what you're doing is just that, so for Rollback yes, for Administrator, not a snowball's chance in Hell.|17:27, 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) {{User:Launchballer/talk|My reasoning for that is when they look count the votes, they won't have to go inside the burger itself. I go external, so it's easier for them, so I can only apologise if that is not to your liking.|17:37, 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)

{{User:Launchballer/talk|These promotions to administrator and beyond are as a "reward" for slogging your *******s off, and in the file department, he's the primary maintainer, and I feel he might need the rights so he can access deleted files, and perhaps, I dunno, make .gif files out of them.|18:09, 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) {{User:Launchballer/talk|SysOp is System Operator, or administrator.|20:33, 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) {{Launchballer|I merely glance over their contributions.|07:00, 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)

If what you're saying is true, can we nominate iLike, the vandals who's made about a billion edits here and there? No? GOOD! So you see my point. -- Shelly   the  Hedgehog  I'm not a monkey!  04:07, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I agree you don't judge someone by the number of their edits. That's not what you said - you said you shouldn't judge by quality or quantity. Anyway, I've recently seen Sonictoast do some really great work, and thing that some admin privleges are definitely on the cards. -- Supermorff 08:58, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you know what? I have lately been so impressed that I am not only going to vote Yes for rollback, but actually nominate Sonictoast for sysop too, as below. -- Supermorff 10:39, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Sysop

 * Yes - As above, I have seen Sonictoast do some amazing work lately, not just on images but on certain pages (Sonic the Hedgehog Toys has been built entrely from scratch by Sonictoast) and even contributing on talk pages. I believe that Sonictoast will put the privileges to good use (or, at any rate, will not misuse them) and will continue to do good work on the site. -- Supermorff 10:39, December 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes - Sonictoast has indeed done some very good work lately. I wouldn't mind adding him to the admin ranks.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 21:55, January 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Unless we have a no vote in the near future, I think I'm going to give Sonictoast sysop privileges. Objections? -- Supermorff 15:46, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

None from me.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 19:03, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have now added Sonictoast as our newest admin. -- Supermorff 20:16, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
