See existing administrators.

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

Please use wikipedia:Requests for adminship as a guide for nominating and formatting.

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.

Pacitalia (7/0/1)

Voting ends 02:03, 2 June 2005 (GMT)

Pacitalia has been a dedicated NS Wikian and has written some fantastic articles, such as his entry on Pacitalian and (in my opinion), his summary of the Second War of the Roach. He would make an excellent administrator. --Sarzonia (user talk) | Sarzonia

Yes, I accept the nomination. Thanks. :) Pacitalia 02:53, 26 May 2005 (GMT)
(Btw, the history says I edited this page because I moved this from the "new admins" page to here.)

Support

  1. I definitely support being nominated and am humbled to have been. If I am accepted as an administrator, I will continue to uphold the neutral values and objective point of view of this site, along with the excellent quality articles we strive to achieve in all our work. I appreciate the nomination and the support from Sarzonia. I think Goob can trust me to do a great job, too. ;) Pacitalia :: 20:28, 26 May 2005 (GMT).
  2. I support the nomination of Pacitalia to administrator. He has personally helped me with my page and the format of it, and has shown that he is a knowledgeable person, not only with using the specific codes to enhance pages, but also helping out others to improve their own pages, as well as being a level-headed person, free from controversy. Euroslavia :: 00:06, 27 May 2005 (GMT)
  3. Pacitalia has certainly contributed a lot, as can be seen from Goober's comment... he'd make a fine sysop and although it's fair to say I don't neccessarily get along with him, he definitely has my vote. That is how much I think he'd make a great sysop. Liverpool England 06:03, 27 May 2005 (GMT)
  4. Despite the fact that he made one of my articles a Stub (*gasp*), I, too, believe that Pacitalia would make a great and dedicated sysop. Spruitland 06:14, 27 May 2005 (GMT)
  5. I think Pacitalia, is a relatively experienced user of NSwiki, and has shown himself to be sensible in his conduct here. Rechze(talk) 12:55, 27 May 2005 (GMT)
  6. As the person who nominated Pacitalia, I have to say that I believe he has shown obvious dedication to the Wiki and to NS in general by being a friendly helping hand and I believe his ability to stay neutral is outstanding. Sarzonia
  7. Support, for reasons already mentioned. I am hoping he will be actively patrolling shit too because that is always useful :) -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 12:12, 28 May 2005 (GMT)

Oppose

Neutral

  1. I haven't mopticed a great deal of activity from this member ouside his own pages, but that's not necessarily a disqualification. I vote "meh". → Fris Θtalk 11:49, 3 Jun 2005 (GMT)

Comments/Questions

  • 210 edits since 24 October 2004. Incidentally, both Sarzonia and Pacitalia should remember that they are wiki members too, and may cast votes here. --Goobergunch|? 18:22, 26 May 2005 (GMT)
  • True that LE and I don't necessarily get along, but we patch up our differences right away. I know he loves me. And I love him back. I apologise for any psychological disturbance this comment may have caused you all, hehe. Pacitalia 06:10, 27 May 2005 (GMT)
