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.

Manhattan Prime (2/0/4)

Manhattan Prime would like to stand for the sysop position.
I feel I am an active and regular updater, who has a good grasp of the rules and conventions of the NS Wiki. As I see it the position entails reverting vandalism, dealing with spam and linkspam, guiding new users and helping users with their queries and problems, as well as clearing up existing articles. I have a fair bit of experience with the latter already. I feel I have a lot to offer in helping out with these duties in an efficient and approachable manner.

Support

  1. I'm voting in support. I've seen some recent activity in cleaning up other people's articles in addition to a long history of working on your own. Fingers crossed! Mikitivity 06:22, 17 March 2007 (GMT)
  2. I, too, am voting in support. Zaire 08:24, 29 March 2007 (GMT)
  3. I am voting in support as well after reveiwing the work done by this user. Lamoni 01:08, 30 March 2007 (GMT)

Oppose


Neutral

  1. I can't be as active patrolling the recent changes as I was during summer when I had much more free time, but I do still keep a close eye on the affairs of this wiki. I haven't exactly noticed your name at all until just now, and I don't see many edits outside of your own pages until very very recently. If I make a stance for or against, I will do so pending further input. °Jey° 01:52, 12 March 2007 (GMT)
  2. I've looked through your edits, and specifically your clean-ups (thank you for those). For now, I'll remain neutral until I see you make more such contributions on a fairly regular basis, but I'm by no means opposed. Aridd 01:19, 17 March 2007 (GMT)
  3. Don't feel strongly either way: perhaps the present sysops could indicate how they're coping with the current workload? Is there a strong need for a new one? There's been no replacement for Knoot or I, but equally, linkspam has slowed and I have no conception of how much meta-work is currently needed. Ok, so I'm an idiot. Just noted the Main Page's note; I really have been out of the loop lately. In that case, I'd be more inclined to support the application if the only sysop votes weren't neutral or absent: to play devil's advocate, if you're looking for a fifth sysop, and one presents themselves, why not pick him?~Gruen2alk 03:25, 29 March 2007 (GMT)
  4. I've been checking up on affairs a bit, and... well... mostly editing your own pages. Mind you, I would not mind being a sysop if only for that reason, but ... I am not sure if it should be. |Knoot|[[User talk:Knootoss|KNOO<small>talk</small>]] 11:51, 31 March 2007 (GMT)

Comments/Questions

In response to Jey I'll agree that I've been concentrating mainly on edits to my own pages until recently - I was pretty new to the wiki then, but now I've got more confidence I'm branching out a lot more. Manhattan Prime 03:48, 12 March 2007 (GMT)

Hi, were you involved in the NS Olympics? Even if you were not, could you list off a few example pages that you were a significant contributor to so we can review them.  :) Thanks and good luck. Mikitivity 04:07, 12 March 2007 (GMT)

I wasn't involved in the NS Olympics, no - thought in several AO sports tournaments. The pages I'm most proud of are:

Apart from my own pages, I'm proud of my contributions to these pages:

  • Is there any particular reason you're listing pages in this format and not the [[Page]] coding? Also, is there a reason you're showing us the history page of Pink Floyd? You've only edited that once. °Jey° 22:51, 17 March 2007 (GMT)
  • Oops! Just noticed the link to the wrong page of Pink Floyd, have corrected. As to the others, no real reason, just seemed easier to copy and paste them then to type them all out. I'll will the other way from now on if that's prefered Manhattan Prime 10:18, 18 March 2007 (GMT)
  • This vote has been up for over two weeks now. There clearly isn't a consensus, given there's only 3 votes, but should something be done? °Jey° 18:15, 27 March 2007 (GMT)
  • No, there isn't consensus yet - it is unclear. I've never seen an admin vote end after only seven days. Based on what is written above, I think it's best we extend the voting period until midnight GMT on 4th April 2007. (( Pacitalkia )) Time sent: 23:01, 28 March 2007 (GMT)
