Editing SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Shadowcrest

=== [[User:Shadowcrest|Shadowcrest]] ([[User talk:Shadowcrest|talk]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/Shadowcrest|contribs]] &bull; [[Special:Editcount/Shadowcrest|edit count]] &bull; [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Shadowcrest|RFA page]]) ===
''Please direct all discussions to the [[SmashWiki talk:Requests for adminship/Shadowcrest|talk page]].

''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.''<br>
Before I say anything else, I want to say that having a comparatively low editcount doesn't relate to adminship and my comparatively little age here is outweighed by my experience elsewhere. Since this is possibly the only part of this speech you will read/remember, I just thought I'd put that out there.<br>
...but since I know everyone will check anyway, there's links in the title. Or check [[Special:Contributions/Shadowcrest]] and/or [[Special:Editcount/Shadowcrest]], if it's easier for you to access from here.

I've held a sysop position elsewhere since March 27, 2008, and I have relatively excelled at the position for some time. So I think it's fair to say I know how wikis work.

Up until recently, I'd have been very confident that I'd be able to field virtually any user conflict that I saw. But my approval rating appears to have dropped, and I know I've come off as an asshole way more than I intended recently. But I'd like everyone to know I'm working on it, and I think I'll be able to pull it off eventually. Opposes based on my personality aren't inherently invalid, but I'd appreciate any good faith.

I'm active enough, and I'd be able to delete spam, ban vandals, and all that other explicitly defined stuff in the job description. 

In short: I'm willing and more than capable. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3">[[User:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">Shadow</font>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<font color="Steelblue">crest</font>]]</font> 18:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

: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.

::Not necessarily, but it suggests an unfamiliarity with the userface. I often toggle off minor edits when combing the recent changes, so all of your revisions would vanish. Additionally, tagging minor edits appropriately is a common courtesy to people perusing contributions or history as it indicates which revisions are likely to be full of content and which are not. And I happened to run afoul this problem when combing through your contributions to judge this request for adminship. While your contributions are of high quality (though I'm not yet convinced they demonstrate a need for the administrative mop; I need to take a closer look to cast my opinion one way or the other), such behavior brings into question your understanding of the controls and/or basic courtesy to other members. <font face="centaur">&ndash; [[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] <sup>([[User talk:MaskedMarth|t]] [[Special:Contributions/MaskedMarth|c]])</sup></font> 16:37, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
:::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 was unaware of the general practices at other Wikias, so my concerns are quelled. Perhaps I'll write up guidelines concerning minor edits if any problems actually do arise.

:::::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. I don't think I could even attempt to manipulate .js if I tried, though I'm sure it isn't a hard language to learn. --[[User:Sky2042|Sky]] ([[User talk:Sky2042|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sky2042|c]] · [[w:c:wow:User:Sky2042|w]]) 04:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 :I'm a terrible mainspace editor, what are you talking about :p
 :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)

-:::::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.
