SmashWiki:Requests for adminship/Berrenta

Berrenta (talk • contribs • edit count • RFA page)

Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.
As you all may have noticed, SmashWiki is lacking in available sysops. With the recent string of vandalism being any indication (which I helped fight), I feel it is time for me to apply for an administrative position, hopefully to stave off any future vandals that wish to harm the wiki.

Though I have been part of this wiki for not that long, as I joined late April, I have made noticeable contributions and have been regularly active. Before I joined SmashWiki, I was a contributor in Bulbapedia, so I came with prior knowledge of wiki structure. I also know my way around some of the administrative powers; as I am typing this, I am a Junior Administrator in Bulbapedia and a Rollbacker here. To be honest, the timing between account creation to rollbacker status in SmashWiki seemed rather quick; this might as well prove how attentive I am around here, especially when at the same time I am balancing wiki contributions and college. I can manage, though!

Among some of my contributions, I have done some janitorial work, including moving pages/files to more appropriate names, fixing double redirects, applying notice templates as needed, resolving the issue that prompted those notice templates, and so forth. A lot of pages that I created began with more than just bare essentials; I try to cover as much as I can before finishing page creation. If there's a subject I don't know about, I am willing to look it up before applying it to the page.

As far as discussions are concerned, I usually take a neutral stance at first. I ask myself before voting for or against; after placing my vote, I actively listen to those with opposing views, to see if there is a valid point stated by the dissenter. I am not afraid to stand my ground, though; if I need to prove that I'm right, I will. Finally, I try my best to respect and to teach newcomers around the wiki. When things get out of hand, I try to keep my cool and handle it seriously.

So, that does it. What do you think? Berrenta (talk) 00:00, 23 September 2014 (EDT)

Support

1. Support. Has done an amazing amount of work in reverting vandalism and keeping the wiki in good shape. I know Berrenta hasn't been around for a very long time, but she'd make a good admin. Qwerty (talk) 00:07, 23 September 2014 (EDT)
2. Light Support I've understand you've been doing a lot of hard work cleaning up this Wiki. I also noticed you're an admin on another wiki. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is bad for me 00:11, 23 September 2014 (EDT)

I'd like to see links to debates that you have participated in thus far before I actually judge. Preferably user conflicts, but understandable if you do not have those. MegaTron1XD 00:09, 23 September 2014 (EDT)
