Difference between revisions of "NSWiki:Admin nominations"

Revision as of 00:34, 20 May 2006

See existing administrators.

To view previous nomination votes, see NSwiki:New admins and NSwiki:New bureaucrats.

Please use wikipedia:Requests for adminship as a guide for nominating and formatting, as well as the pages linked above.

Most importantly, an admin should have thorough knowledge of NSwiki and should visit meta pages often. It is preferred if the admin has had a large amount of edits (In the top 20% of editors), and contributes on a relatively regular basis.

As the Wikipedia guide linked to above indicates, only users who are registered and logged in can vote and/or be nominated.

If you don't know whether to nominate a user as a sysop or as a bureaucrat, go with "sysop" by default. If a user has been doing well as a sysop, then nominate him/her as a "bureaucrat."

Rules

Administrator status is granted to known and trusted members of the community who are familiar with NSwiki policies. Administrators have no special authority on NSwiki, but are held to higher standards, because they are perceived by many, particularly new, users as the official face of NSwiki. Therefore they should take care to be courteous, and exercise good judgment and patience in dealing with other users. Nominees should have been on NSwiki long enough for people to see whether they have these qualities.

Nominations remain for seven days so the community can vote and comment on the nomination. Bureaucrats may extend this when consensus is unclear (because consensus is subjective, bureaucrats have some discretion, but the threshold on this page is roughly three-quarters support). Nominations which are clearly not going to gain sufficient support may be removed earlier to prevent discussions that generate ill will; however, a reasonable amount of time should be allowed. If your nomination is rejected, please wait a reasonable period of time before applying again.

To add your vote, edit the section for that candidate. You may add a short comment to your vote, but discussion and responses to other comments belong in the Comments/Questions section below every nomination. When voting, please update the vote tally of the nomination that you are voting in. The vote tally format is as follows: (Support/Oppose/Neutral).

Nominations for sysopship

Note: Nominations have to be accepted by the user in question. If you nominate a user, please also leave a message on their talk page and ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination.

Jey

(3/1/0) Ending 20:44 24 May 2006

Jey has been an active contributer for a long time now. He has reverted vandalism, created a stellar nation page, and helped out many NSWiki n00bs, including myself. I feel that he is the best candidate for this job. Dankism 20:32, 17 May 2006 (GMT)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. ^Je_y^° 20:44, 17 May 2006 (GMT)

Support

1. Exceedingly strong support as nominator. Dankism 20:32, 17 May 2006 (GMT)
2. We need another sysop. ~Gruen2 22:03, 17 May 2006 (GMT)
3. Support per Gruen. Ceo \ rant \ rave 03:36, 18 May 2006 (GMT)

Oppose

1. Oppose to cancel out Gruen's support - that reason that we need another sysop doesn't hold, as if we really did you'd have supported my nom too. Use your head before saying things you'll regret - if we really need another support you should not have opposed my nom. Bias? So much for having objective sysops. Gruen's conduct is appalling. LE (WP) | Talk 05:46, 18 May 2006 (GMT)

   Calm down. The fact is, you used this page previously "to see what people thought of you". I didn't think appropriate conduct, and I won't support you for sysop on account of it. Expressing preference in candidates isn't "bias"; it's simply me exercising discretion. Surely you wouldn't expect me to blindly vote for anyone who was nominated?

   Furthermore, Ceo and I have caught a lot of the linkspamming - with help from users like you and Bedi. I don't consider that a major sysop priority. I think we need a new one because while we're busy taking care of that, there are actual articles to help with. No votes for deletion ever get any discussion, there's never any attempts at cleanup, articles remain NPOV for months...and you didn't indicate willingness to help with any of them. So, sorry, but I'm going to stick by my votes.

   To expand a little: I don't think we need anyone to help with linkspam. It's annoying, sure, but it doesn't do any great harm if it takes two days to clear it, block them, etc. I don't think we're swamped by it, at present; if I felt we were, then I would actually support your nomination, my other misgivings notwithstanding. When I say "we need another sysop", I mean "we need another sysop"; not "we need someone to help with linkspam". We need someone willing to work with a variety of tasks. Jey is a regular contributor, he's familiar with various code formats, he's written some decent articles. I'm sure that applies to you as well, but you didn't say that: you presented yourself as simply coming to help with linkspam - something I don't think we need.E

   If you wish to register a complaint about my conduct...well, I'm not sure what procedure is. Talk to Pacitalia or email Goober, I suppose. ~Gruen2 07:49, 18 May 2006 (GMT) (Also, please remember to update the vote tally.)

Questions for the candidate

1. I saw a lot of stuff about vandalism - something to do with your friends - between you and Ceo on your talk page. What was that about? ~Gruen2 22:03, 17 May 2006 (GMT)

   A: NationStates is a rather popular game at my school that is known to nearly everyone there, even those not actually playing the game. One adverse affect of this is that NS becomes known to the less mature population in the school, who found it humorous to vandalize my nation and user pages simply because I've spent a considerable amount of time on them. ^Je_y^° 22:15, 17 May 2006 (GMT)

2. What sysop chores do you anticipate dealing with? [translation: will you help with the linkspam? please? ;)]

   A: As a sysop, my main goal would be to improve NSWiki in whatever way possible. I will be prepared to deal with any sysop chores that are needed in maintaining the wiki, especially dealing with spam, vandalism, and cleanup work. ^Je_y^° 12:37, 18 May 2006 (GMT)

3. Have you ever been in any edit conflicts? If so, how did you resolve them?

   A: Aside from the vandalism of my page (if you could call that an edit conflict), I have not been involved in any. ^Je_y^° 12:37, 18 May 2006 (GMT)
