NSWiki:Admin nominations

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.

(2/0/0) 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)

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)

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)

Self-nomination. This time, I'm nominating myself for adminship because I want to help with the linkspam. I've had to tag {{delete}} a lot of articles, and if I could delete thearticles outright it would make things easier. There isn't a need for this to be a permanent sysopship, I'm cool with a temp sysopship, but I won't abuse my powers - I'm an admin at the English Wikipedia. LE (WP) | Talk 05:10, 11 May 2006 (GMT)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:Self-nominated.

Support

1. We do need another sysop, and you've been helping out with a lot of linkspam, so I don't see why not. Ceo \ rant \ rave 12:50, 11 May 2006 (GMT)

Oppose

1. Given I've been deleted all the articles you've been tagging, I don't see the need. Opposed. ~Gruen2 11:29, 11 May 2006 (GMT)
2. Agreed with Gruen. Opposed. ^Je_y^° 12:56, 11 May 2006 (GMT)
3. I oppose, for previously stated reasoning. Dankism 15:07, 11 May 2006 (GMT)
4. Oppose, for previous reasons, and also because LE should be concentrating on the difficult job he already has at Wikipedia. Ever heard the phrase "bite off more than you can chew?" We need a permanent sysop, one who's committed only to this site so he/she can concentrate on what's happening here and not trying to do two major Wikis at once.

Neutral

1. I don't know you to much. --swilatia 11:13, 11 May 2006 (GMT)

Comments

• I'm cool with this not being a permanent adminship, if necessary. LE (WP) | Talk 05:10, 11 May 2006 (GMT)
  • I really don't see the need for temporary adminships. I'll see what I can do about the linkspam, but I've already activated nofollow links on NSwiki - it's hard to deal with bots that are too stupid to realize that their spam doesn't do anything but annoy people. --Goobergunch|? 19:12, 11 May 2006 (GMT)
