I personally believe I deserve Adminship as I am one of the more active users left, and I have been Starting last July, when I joined. One of the first projects I took on was fixing double redirects, and at that time I fixed more than 100 of them, and since then very few have come up(not that it is relevant). Secondly, as I joined during the Post-Merge scene, I took part in the cleanup. The main task I took on was turning Pros and Cons sections into attributes, which very few had done before me(only Falco, Bowser, and Meta Knight were changed, and that was done by the author of the post merge cleanup). I fixed several of them before others starting taking part too. | I personally believe I deserve Adminship as I am one of the more active users left, and I have been Starting last July, when I joined.

That was all during the beginning of me joining Smashwiki. After that, I didn;t take part in many projects, but I was still a solid contributor. After most of the active contributors migrated to other sites, i died a little in activity, but I was still a contributor, and was one of the few who still came here on some sort of basis(although some came for specific reasons). Recently I have been becoming more and more active, taking several large edits rather than extraneous amounts of smaller edits. My most recent edit of any sort of notability would most likely be the fixing, expanding, etc. of the [[ | That was all during the beginning of me joining Smashwiki.

#'''Changed to weak support.''' Smoreking's got a long track record of solid mainspace contributions, and his vandal-fighting and janitorial knowledge are quite impressive as well. Nevertheless, I still have reservations. Smore's relations with other users are mixed, he's immature on occasion and he did sockpuppet once (in a somewhat benign fashion, though). I've yet to decide whether he merits the leadership position, though he's shown he merits the tools for the most part. (Psst. Sign your post.)

#:I told Shadowcrest about the whole SZL thing and he said since I had done nothing really wrong with it, it was technically acceptable, although looking back it probably would have been better if I myself(or account self) had done what I did on that account. So yes, I suppose you are right in the sense that it was not fully proper, although I would say it wasn't very improper either. And I'd like to know about my specific user relations that you have in mind.'''[[User:Smorekingxg456|<span style="color:#5F9EA0">Smoreking</span>]]<small><sup>[[User Talk:Smorekingxg456#Top|<span style="color:#00FF00">(T)</span>]]</sup></small><small><sub> [[Special:Contributions/Smorekingxg456|(c)]]</sub></small>''' 22:22, October 8, 2009 (UTC) | #:I told Shadowcrest about the whole SZL thing and he said since I had done nothing really wrong with it, it was technically acceptable, although looking back it probably would have been better if I myself(or account self) had done what I did on that account.

#<s> | #<s>''Support.''' I agree with Miles, but still, the fact that you do a lot for this Wiki makes you a pretty good contributor. The only reason I would not strongly support you is because, like Miles said, you do have a very small problem with the interactions with other users. But otherwise, I'm OK with you.

#' | #:Ok, I've decided to change my opinion. Originally, I didn't notice that you sockpuppeted, but because of that, that puts my opinion of you way down.

#'''Oppose''' I don't really care if Shadowcrest said it wasn't a problem; I don't like people using sock puppets, especially for policy and administration things. Plus, your comment that you used SZL to mean "serious business" without other users disliking you really bothers me. What it says to me is that you are more concerned with popularity than policy and/or that you don't understand how to be serious without offending other people. Neither of these are traits that I would look for in a sysop. Also, I can remember at least one or two instances in which you used both SZL and this account to get double comments on policies. I'll also say that it seems rather stupid of you to ever bring this up in the first place. I honestly had no inclination that you were using SZL as a sock (I thought he might be one, but I had no idea of what user), and it doesn't really say much about you as a user to come out and ''admit'' that you violated the rules that you are now asking for the powers to enforce. As a sidenote, I would actually be less bothered if you told me that [[User:13375poolR|13375poolR]] was your sock puppet (although that probably wouldn't look good for your RfA either...), as I could then just wright it off to you being bored and wanting to have some fun. Here, though, I feel like you were trying to use sock puppets to manufacture fake support for things.
