Revision as of 09:58, 8 May 2007

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.

Nominations for bureaucratship

Jey (5/0/1)

I believe that Jey should receive the bureaucratship for two reasons. Firstly, Jey has done an excellent job as a sysop, he is very involved with NationStates affairs as a whole, is welcoming with newbies like myself, and has been around NS and NSwiki long enough to understand what's needed from a bureaucrat. Secondly, with the retirement of Goobergunch from NS and now Pacitalia's temporary leave of absence, I think another bureaucrat would be a great asset for this wiki to have.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Thank you for considering me for this position, I'm honored. I accept the nomination. _°Je_y^° 01:02, 2 May 2007 (GMT)

Support

1. Support, as nominator. DeltaMalaysia 00:32, 2 May 2007 (GMT)
2. Support, I frequently edit community articles, and long before Jey became a sysop, he was extremely active in articles beyond his own nation. He has continued to help keep NSWiki very relevant and is very professional and pleasant to deal with. Mikitivity 01:40, 2 May 2007 (GMT)
3. Support- Dankism 01:48, 6 May 2007 (GMT)
4. Support; I agree with DM, and Jey has done good work as a sysop. Aridd 08:42, 6 May 2007 (GMT)
5. Support as above. Came back from the dead to vote, I know. Couldn't resist. :) (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 13:58, 8 May 2007 (GMT)

Oppose

Neutral

1. Abstain: I have some NPOV issues with this user, but his knowledge of the wiki is substantial. So I vote not to vote. Omigodtheykilledkenny 17:11, 2 May 2007 (GMT)

I can think of instances in the past, when I was very new to the wiki and unaware of how to contribute properly, that some of my contributions may not necessarily be NPOV, but other than possible glorification of Jey in my nation page, I've never had much of a complaint about NPOV. Could you explain? _°Je_y^° 21:57, 2 May 2007 (GMT)

I know of no NPOV violation by this user. Dankism 01:48, 6 May 2007 (GMT)
