''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.''<br>

Well...where do I begin? I may have only been on SmashWiki for a year, but this isn't my first wiki. The first one I joined was Bulbapedia under the name Pokedex493 (I still have the account, but I'm not as active on there anymore) back in 2011, around the time when Pokemon Black and White information was starting to be revealed. I had learned a lot in those years I spent on there, and when I joined SmashWiki in 2014, I took those skills with me, and did my best to apply it when needed. Additionally, I tried out to be a Junior Administrator on Bulbapedia back in 2012, and I had qualified for all categories except one: edit count. After I submitted my application, I worked hard and eventually did reach the edit count they required, but it was too late and that was the sole reason I wasn't accepted.

While I haven't made extremely large contributions to SmashWiki, some notable things I've done were add the trophy descriptions to all SSB4 Assist Trophy, Poke Ball summons, and plain character pages that still needed them. Personality-wise, I can be a very nice person, trying my best to be nice to everyone, no matter how disrespectful they're being, and if an argument were to take place, then I'm always willing to listen to both sides of an argument before I make a decision, and if I can't decide, then that's when I'd ask otherss for their opinions and figure it out from there.

I'm aware the most recent of people who tried out were mainly doing it for stopping vandals, but that's not what adminship is about, we can still stop them just fine with the tools we already have as it is. We choose to want to become admins (or at least I did) because I have faith in this community and I want to better help solve disputes, I want to make sure everyone feels safe on the wiki and I want to make sure that disputes/arguments don't ruin anyone's time on here. All of you have always been extremely helpful toward me, been there for me when I needed it, and I'm even making friends here, and I want to better help this community continue to grow, I want people to be encouraged to come to SmashWiki and look to us for the information they're searching for. If there's anything else you were expecting from this, hopefully you will find what you're looking for from my contributions and my edit count, and if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll answer as soon as possible. Thanks everyone for reading and I wish everyone the best of luck in their future contributions to the wiki.

==== Support ====
# '''Support'''. You are a good rollbacker from what I can tell, but why are you applying for adminship? Yes, I do think you will be a good (Not excellent) admin, that would be average with conflict resolution.

#:Well, it's something I've wanted to try for a few years now. I wanted to try again on Bulbapedia, but they only let people try out when they have openings. I dunno, SmashWiki feels more open about it if you ask me, and I think I could learn a lot more in an admin position that I can't normally learn in my current state.

#:'''Switching to Very, VERY Strong Support.''' You're probably the best dispute handler on the wiki. Also, all of the admins at this point are dysfunctional right now: one is never active when we need them, one has a shaky reputation, one only really helps with vandals and janitorial work, and one makes 90KB worth of bickering all the time.

#'''Weak Support''': Your answer was, in my opinion, satisfactory. I do like lenience in newer users, especially if they are being harassed anyway. I am convinced of your dispute handling skills at this time. You've also increased your edit count...but in doing so, you've fallen down the one pitfall that prevents this from being a full support: Many of your edits are the same, short, simple, edit applied to a group of pages. Try going for more substantial things. I would like to see some page and template creation out of you too before fully supporting this. But hey, you've budged me twice, and trust me, that's not a typically easy thing to do. I tend to stand firm. Well done and best of luck. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:56, 9 November 2015 (EST)
#:Thank you, while I will agree that most of my edits are like that, one thing I struggle with is finding ways I can make substantial edits (Though one such example of a way I have done it is on the Pokémon Universe page, though it does need cleaning up most likely). Another thing I struggle with is finding new pages I can create or creating a template that actually can and will be helpful to the wiki, so I try my best to look around for ways to help.

::It depends, there's the question that needs to be considered of "If we were to go with their side, would it make the page better or worse if it involves a page?" (Since most disputes on SmashWiki usually involve pages, we'll use this as an example) I like to experiment, especially with pages, and if an event like this were to happen, then I'd take what they're so insistent on and experiment the change (using the preview button in order to do so mind you.) If it somehow improves the page, then it definitely needs to be approved, if I'm still not sure however, I'd most likely screencap it and post it as a user image and ask those who think it'd make it better what they think.

Guys, do keep in mind that just because someone has a low edit count and not being here long enough doesn't mean that they aren't already denied for a successful RfA; although I would admit that yes, some of his contributions may not be so much admin-quality but he still did make some good overall quality edits too.

I am going to give you a chance to get me in support:

Say there is a newer user who is not quite familiar with our policies yet. Now say someone corrects their edits and leaves messages on their talk page, but they are a bit...overboard ("OMG will you ''PLEASE'' sign your comments? You're so annoying..." etc). The new user continues to violate the policy. How do you resolve the situation? <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:30, 9 November 2015 (EST)
:As per your previous question, it depends. For one thing, if the user who's trying to correct them is saying being rude like that, I'm going to scold them no matter what, because there's no need to be rude to anyone, no matter what wrongdoing they've committed. When it comes to the user, that's difficult to determine. It'd have to depend on how exactly they're violating policies and what policies they're violating, for instance, a signed comment issue, I'm going to be a bit easygoing on, as it's not a terrible issue, just a minor issue that can be fixed rather quickly. Most likely the reason they'd ignore it is maybe because the user's being rude to them. I know I wouldn't wanna listen to someone who's being rude to me, so I'd talk to them myself, explain why exactly they're being called out, apologize for said user's misbehavior, and link them to the policies and hope they'll listen then. If not, then I'll remind them a couple more times, give them a few more chances, you know. If they continue to break the policies, then at that point I know I have no choice but to issue a penalty. The penalty would depend on the severity of the policy violation, but since they'd most likely be good faith, then it wouldn't be TOO severe, just enough to get their attention. At that point I'd put one more message on their talk page explaining why they faced a penalty and ask kindly to refrain from doing it again and to look at the policies they've been violating. Hopefully this helps, and if you need further information, don't hesitate to ask.
