*'''Strong Support.''' Shadowcrest is knowledgeable, competent, and smart. As, or perhaps more, importantly, he has "Admin-like" edits (see my "vote" on Oxico's RfA) in spades | *'''Strong Support.''' Shadowcrest is knowledgeable, competent, and smart. As, or perhaps more, importantly, he has "Admin-like" edits (see my "vote" on Oxico's RfA) in spades, and I have complete faith in him to "mediate user disputes, arbitrate users, and interpret policy during times of argument" and he has consistently displayed a dedication to this wiki that goes well-above and beyond the call of duty. – [[User:Defiant Elements|<font color="black">Defiant Elements</font>]] 19:27, 15 November 2008 (UTC) | ||
*'''Support''' Shadowcrest is a knowledgeable user who has worked hard on this and other wikis to make them effective encyclopedias. His attitude is not something that terribly concerns me. It is generally only directed at solving problems.

* | * '''Reluctant support''', not for any particular reservations of your ability but just because I don't feel the particular need to widen the administrative pool. However, your contributions are of consistently high quality and your diplomacy would be useful in resolving disputes and managing blocks. Your candidacy is clearly among the strongest. <font face="centaur">– [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 00:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC) | ||

* | *'''Neutral with slight opposition.''' You often seem to be a negative person, short on temper and quick to get insulted or get angry. You're a great mainspace editor, but I don't think I can trust you as an admin to solve user-related problems.

:Actually, in recent memory, I've gotten angry once. And what resulted from it was, ironically, a self-ban, because I knew I lost my temper and my replies became increasingly unacceptable. I am generally aware of how I'm acting, so losing my temper and going outside the bounds of good taste is unlikely.

:::I contribute to other Wikias, where setting everything as minor is common practice. And since Wikia saves your preferences across the board, I can't just uncheck the default box only for SmashWiki, and not having to check the box each edit was the entire point of hitting it by default. Since it would be dumb for me to tell you you patrol RC wrong, I don't know what I am expected to do. Courtesy here is not courtesy everywhere- indeed, setting everything to minor is possibly even the "expected" practice at GuildWiki- and it never really occured to me here. Having been at GuildWiki for nearly a year and a half, I think it is fair to say I'm familiar with how wikis work, even though I can't do all the advanced .css / .js stuff that Sky can. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3">[[User:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">Shadow</font>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">crest</font>]]</font> 23:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC) | :::I contribute to other Wikias, where setting everything as minor is common practice.

:::::General practice outside of Wikia is to only mark edits minor which are actually minor. I personally don't care either way, but at least consider the courtesy of unchecking the box when using talk pages, I'd say, or major content changes. I would be more concerned about edit summary usage; not that I've checked here in this case, but edit summary usage should be both civil and explanatory about the changes you make, and is far better at indicating why you thought a certain edit was major or minor.<br />As for css and js, I'm flattered.
