As you all may have noticed, SmashWiki is lacking in available sysops. With the recent string of vandalism being any indication (which I helped fight), I feel it is time for me to apply for an administrative position, hopefully to stave off any future vandals that wish to harm the wiki. | As you all may have noticed, SmashWiki is lacking in available sysops.

#'''Support'''. Has done an amazing amount of work in reverting vandalism and keeping the wiki in good shape. I know Berrenta hasn't been around for a very long time, but she'd make a good admin. <font face="sand">''[[User:Qwerty|<font color="black">Qw</font><font color="003F3F">er</font><font color="005F5F">ty</font>]] ''[[User talk:Qwerty|<font color="005F6F">(t</font><font color="003C6F">al</font><font color="000F7F">k)</font>]]</font> 00:07, 23 September 2014 (EDT) | #'''Support'''.

#'''Support''' Impressive amount of work for this user. Now I understand why you want adminship. You keep your cool. I think you would be a good admin. [[User:Luigi540|Luigi540]] ([[User talk:Luigi540|talk]]) 01:08, 23 September 2014 (EDT) | |||
#'''Support'''. Berrenta has done an impressive job in helping out the wiki. In addition, her Junior Administatorship (is that even a word?) on Bulbapedia shows her experience in this kind of work, and that she can handle it. {{s|user|PikaSamus}} ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) [[File:PikaSamusSig.png|12px|link=Special:Contributions/PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] 10:16, 23 September 2014 (EDT) | #'''Support'''.

#'''Light oppose''' I have extreme confidence that you would be very competent on SmashWiki, in fact, I think you're one of the most competent and professional users on this site. However, as Toast says, you don't interact with the community much at all, and I feel like that an admin requires more experience on SmashWiki, and somebody that's only been around since April doesn't really do it for me. Maybe give it a few months and try again? We'd love to get to know you better, but until then, I feel uneasy handing over the keys to adminship to someone that has minimal interaction with the wiki's users. <span style="font-family:Magneto">[[User:Air Conditioner|{{Color|Navy|Return of}}]] [[User talk:Air Conditioner|{{Color|#007BA7|Air Conditioner}}]]</span> [[File:AC.png|19px]] might be a robot 07:18, 23 September 2014 (EDT) | #'''Light oppose''' I have extreme confidence that you would be very competent on SmashWiki, in fact, I think you're one of the most competent and professional users on this site.

#'''Inbetween oppose and neutral; leaning towards oppose''' While you are an active user that knows the wiki policies and is good at dealing with spam, I don't think you're on par with the current admins in terms of how experienced you are in general, although being a junior administrator on Bulbapedia does make this less of a problem (not sure how much experience there translates to experience here). I also think that you haven't taken part in enough large debates around the wiki to solidify your admin status, and I haven't seen you dealing with user conflicts and the like much.

#'''Neutral''' I'm very conflicted on this one. You definitely know what you're doing on the wiki, and have experience as a Junior Admin on NIWA's biggest site. I could trust you to be responsible and keep a level head, and to help newer users. We do have a shortage of admins (although this RfA may inadvertantly bring Omega Tyrant back, like Ye Olde Toasteth RfA did), which your promotion would help with. But as Mega pointed out, we haven't seen you get involved with disagreements and disputes, and even just user interaction in general. Part of this is my fault for letting real life steal me away from SmashWiki, but I don't feel like I know you yet. I haven't noticed you interact with many other users either, and you certainly aren't active on the IRC chat. An admin should be a big part of the community, at least in my opinion. If this were an application for Junior administrator, I'd be very supportive, but I'm a bit too conflicted to support or oppose you here.

#'''Neutral leaning toward support''' I've understand you've been doing a lot of hard work cleaning up this Wiki. I also noticed you're an admin on another wiki. However, I'm not sure if we need a full power admin for janitorial work.

:Admins generally are entrusted with the responsibility of making the final call on user disputes.
