''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for bureaucratship below.''<br>
 
Hey all, Serpent King here. So yeah, I figured I would throw my hat in the ring here, in part on inspiration from Crow's guide to applying for adminship (his bit about promotions not being about whether the wiki needs it or not being the part that stuck out, and I fully agree) and in (larger) part because I feel like I fit the role sufficiently well.
 
I have been a user since March, 2015, and an administrator since [[SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Serpent King (2)|November, 2015]]. I have contributed truckloads (over 17,000 edits) towards this wiki, and while I understand this means little, I think it is important to point out my overall dedication towards the wiki.
 
Since gaining adminship, I have gone to great lengths to improve my dispute handling skills, which was something that a lot of people were saying needed work. I now believe that the skill has become one of the strongest tools I possess. I think I can speak for most users when I say that I have obtained the trust of our community, though I suppose the results of this will tell us that for sure.
 
As you guys probably know, bureaucrats gain 3 major new powers:
*'''Promotions''': While RfR promotions are pretty clear cut, RfA/B promotions are obviously the hardest part of the job. I believe, however, that I am capable of making promotion decisions without bias and based on both consensus and, as the case may be, my own judge of character. I want to re-enforce the fact that, especially in promotions, making a decision based in part on judge of character is '''not''' a bad thing, not in the slightest, because a promotion is a long-standing change in the very workings of our project. This is not to say that crats should be deaf to consensus when making these decisions, but it is important that they understand exactly what they are doing by promoting a new staff member.
*'''Renames''': Easy enough, we have a clear cut policy for that. I have never really been sure why admins don't have this power to be completely honest.
*'''Interwiki''': Not a tool that I see myself using in the near future, true, but who knows? 
 
I have never been good at bragging about myself or...well really even talking about myself without a prompt, so while I realize that the contents of this RfB may be minimal, I wish to really get the work done in responses to all of your questions, comments, and concerns. I will do my best to answer and address them accordingly. Thank you all for your consideration, and have a nice day.

#'''Support'''. With all the work he has done for our wiki to improve its quality, his great understanding of the writing language, his better abilities at handling disputes, and general activity, it would be dumb to not choose this guy eventually for bureaucratship. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:Beep|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:Beep|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 02:08, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
#'''Support'''. As far as admins go, you are probably the one most suited to become a bureaucrat. You are by far the most responsible admin, and you seem to have a very good understanding of what it means to be an admin or a bureaucrat, which is a good sign. Your ability to enforce policy stands out, as you not only have a great understanding of these things, but handle them in a polite manner, so as not to upset the users who potentially violate them. Your strong judgement skills would come in very useful for the ability to promote users, and overall you seem to have more consistent presence than Toomai, which could potentially speed up processes such as RFRs. I can't imagine a situation in which you misuse, or clumsily apply bureaucratic powers, so given all the positives I have mentioned, and your strong experience on the wiki, I see no reason why I shouldn't support this.

#I've been an admin for over a year now. A year and...about 4 months, to be precise. Of course, I failed in my first attempt, but I attribute my success to my second attempt to a variety of factors, the most prominent one being Serpent. He was basically like my mentor, teaching me how to be a more professional user among other things. If it weren't for him, I'd probably never be where I am now, or, at the least, it would've taken me longer to get here. Keep in mind, this is completely without bias. I'm merely stating my experience with him. With that in mind, I '''support''' this. If there's anyone I'm going to trust with the powers of a bureaucrat, it's Serpent.

#'''Solid support'''. Per what has been said already, the only issues SK seems to have are being human and making some non-perfect decisions. He is very active (which can lead to more opportunities for error/arguments, mind you) and knows what to do. He is responsible, full stop. I know this is a bad argument, but only Toomai has bureaucratic power and is ever actually around. <strike>It is a shame admin has a green text for Luigi and bureau is a weird brown tho.</strike> [[User: RobSir_zx|<span style="color:orange">Rob</span>]][[User talk:RobSir_zx|<span style="color:blue">'''Sir '''</span>]][[File:RobSir-sig.jpg|16px]] [[Special:Contributions/RobSir zx|<span style="color:red">zx</span>]] 22:58, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
#'''Support''' Serp has been one of the most agreeable users I've worked with on the wiki, and I can only see him using b-crat for good. He's proven himself a respectable admin and while he has had his mistakes like the rest of us, he still works for the betterment of the wiki and I can't see anyone else really getting this promotion at the moment (though maybe at a later point).

#'''Support'''. The only problem I have is that although you have drastically improved in this regard, you can still [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Mewtwo_(SSB4)&diff=974312&oldid=974290 be a bit snarky sometimes...] but besides that, in the sparse time I've been here in over a year, you've shown nothing but dedication. A lot of detractors are basically saying "why do we need more", and in my opinion that's a really awful reason to oppose.

#'''Strong Support'''. Serpent King has taught me a lot of guidelines that I have implemented in my head. His strong understanding of this wiki's regulations gives me a strong belief that he would make a good bureaucrat. I believe he can help keep the wiki under control, speed up promotion of RFRs, and deal with troll accounts much easier. So yeah, you've got my vote. :D --[[File:FXSig2.png]] [[User:Falcon-X|<span style="color:Red;text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px Red">'''Falcon-X'''</span>]] [[User talk:Falcon-X#top|<span style="color:Blue;text-shadow:0px 0px 5px Blue">'''('''''Freedom House''''')''' </span>]] 16:27, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

#'''Support'''. You've been in the wiki almost every single day and have a great understanding of every single technique, the only problem is that you may be to quick to change something. Other than that, I certainly believe you should become a bureaucrat. You have the have the ability to confidently search the wiki and fix errors and correct mistakes, as well as to teach other users the ins and outs of SmashWiki, thereforere I give my support.

#'''Neutral with a lot of mixed feelings and a very weak lean towards oppose.''' To be honest, I'm not really sure where to go with a response to this RfB. Let me start with my reservations on the subject:
#:*This may be nothing other than a weird mis-reading on my part, but it does seem like you [[User talk:Black Vulpine#Discord|occasionally play favorites]]. Going to a then-new user and saying they have "great promise" feels like you're deliberately trying to single out someone with atypical praise rather than simply the normal encouragement I'd expect.
#:*I'm still leery about the Template:CharBar incident where you implemented a messy template without prior discussion, and users followed your lead into putting it on dozens of pages. While this was over a year ago and we've addressed the subject in [[SW:CONSENSUS]] recently, it still left a very bad taste in my mouth. Being the "popular" admin people see as a role model comes with the responsibility of setting an appropriate example, and that incident was the most concerning instance of users following your lead almost a little too eagerly.
#:*A constant issue brought up every time someone pursues a bureaucratship request is "do we need another?" As you correctly identified, there are only three major powers associated with the position that you don't have already as admin, all of which are needed infrequently at most. With Toomai unambiguously active on a regular basis lately, there's no urgency to the position. Lack of need doesn't necessarily mean we shouldn't, but it does discourage me from wanting to support your candidacy (or anyone else's, for that matter) at the moment.
#:As for positives:
#:*You've generally matured in your handling of user interactions. You reasonably pointed out examples of your participation in discussions, and are generally reasonable in your interactions recently so far as I've seen. The few instances where I remembered being uncomfortable with your behavior are further in the past than I had thought.
#:*You're regularly online and, to my knowledge, have used admin powers reasonably and responsibly.
#:*You've contributed heavily to both the front-end and back-end of the wiki, showing that you're clearly more committed to the site than merely surface-level contributions.
#:It's a weird situation. I see the pros and cons and, to be honest, I end up feeling like almost everything cancels out. You haven't done anything that is a dealbreaker or enough to push me into full opposition, but I also see no pressing need nor a particularly convincing case to support you. I apologize if this is overly long-winded or confusing, but I did my best to express the feelings I have on the subject.

#::'''Playing favorites''': "great promise" may have been too strong language, I'll admit. This was more or less an overjoyed reaction to gaining someone new who most likely wouldn't leave after 5 edits and who does not only focus on the competitive scene. While it is no problem that people focus on the competitive scene, there is still plenty of work to be done elsewhere, and getting help on those things elated my spirits a bit.
#::'''CharBar''': As stated, that was a long time ago, and I have since realized where I had gone wrong there. Talk's cheep, but you'll see: it won't happen again, that's a promise.
#::'''Do we need another''': I personally believe that the need for a new admin or crat shouldn't influence their gaining the promotion, both because it's not really fair to them to evaluate it this way, and because, looking to the future, we very well could run into a situation where a more consistent crat could be deemed necessary.
#::Hope this clears up any misunderstandings towards your negative feelings on this. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 05:36, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
#::*The "great promise" statement was clearly not written in the context of "you are one of the best".
#::*The CharBar incident was a long time ago and is very incompatible with the current Serpent King.
#::*I really dislike the "do we need another?" argument, but even ignoring that, I don't think only one active bcrat is ideal for the wiki at any time. Plus, if a second bureaucrat becomes more urgent, the wiki is better off starting with a leg up instead of (most likely, given the circumstances where it would occur) having to rush an RfB through.

#While an extra bureaucrat (not sure on spelling lol) would be nice, I just don't see the need. Smash 4 having no important patches recently and smash for switch having no place to be announced means little traffic. Even in red, one semi-active bure was fine, because they ''don't seem to be needed much''. Plus, I feel like one person should be the highest authority, similiar to our president for americans. Having two high powers will introduce many unique and possibly dangerous (in terms of the wiki, not people's health) situations that the wiki hasn't dealt with before. Some examples right off the top of my head include:
#:Disagreeing on an RfA closing
#:Disagreeing on a specific rollback example in a RfR
#:One bure overpowering the other

#:::Maybe I am, but all of those examples are real and likely examples to occur. You do have a good point however, and the people on the support side have a huge point.

#::::I think you are probably most worried about the overpowering thing?

#:::::::(reset indent) Perhaps, but "going to hell" is tremendously different then having low tolerence. You are right however, we are himans, and sometimes the armor cracks. 
#:::::::Just to be clear, when i meant the disagreeing of an RfA, i'm meaning ''hostile'' disagreement. Two giant arguments between the highest powers of anything, espicially when a person's adminship is on the line, can lead into some ''very'' unwanted traffic all over. Maybe I'm overthinking this or sound dumb, but this is what i think. I can't possibly see arguments between bures healthy for the wiki, if it happens commonly.
#:::::::If we had a second one, though, you would be perfect for the role. It's moreso the idea of two bures i am againist, not you being one. -[[User:Penro|<font color="red">'''Pen'''</font>]][[User talk:Penro|<font color="black">'''''ro'''''</font>]] 22:51, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

One thing tho, try to extend in your RfB if possible, cause like you said, this seems minimal. I understand you have a lot of strong points to choose you as a bureaucrat, though it would be nice to "brag" a little more about them, at least the necessary to enrich your RfB, so that people who still have doubts about you, end up having NO doubts.

::ANИA is a pretty clear-cut case. From [[SW:NAME]]:

We are an English-speaking wiki, so most, if not all, users would have difficulty recognizing and referring to such usernames, and would likely not be able to understand what the username means. Additionally, the vast majority of users would not have the means to type the name out, making it needlessly difficult for them to refer to a user using such a username."''

:I'm not Serpent, but I have a feeling he would agree with me; I shouldn't have gotten rollback. Most of the examples I gave weren't really a case where rollback would've been better, and in the last one I submitted, an edit summary would've been better than rollback.

::Could you give some examples of his concerning behavior at the time? Because it's really easy to say that in hindsight.

:::I'm not ignoring you, I just have some things I am doing right at this moment.

::::Alright here it is and first of all, He got rollback at 17:12, October 25, 2015:
::::*We had [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:INoMed/Archive_3&diff=prev&oldid=747533 this] talk post showcasing his inability to understand QDV (he asked why we were reverting provocative insults towards a vandal, he actually edit warred with us. If I recall correctly, it was a vandal page and the insults were in the {{t|d}} tag) a mere 13 hours before being promoted.
::::*[[User talk:Toomai/Archive_19#Fun_fact|One example]] of many of his stupid behavior. Not a strike I guess against getting RB, but definitely enough to raise maturity concerns.
::::*There's also the fact that I was already suspicious of his ability to ''always'' be there to counter vandals, as well as how touchy he got if anyone else reverted them. 
::::Guess that's all. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 21:47, 22 July 2017 (EDT)
