Current Requests

Kperfekt

I'm Kperfekt. I usually spell check articles on here, or revert vandalism. Most of you will probably look at my edit count and be impressed until you realize the majority of those edits are to talk pages. I know I don't have the best track record, but since 2008 I've changed. I don't troll people, I don't disrespect them, and I have not stirred up trouble in a long time. I want rollback powers for two reasons. One, is obviously because I could revert vandalism or untrue but good faith edits quickly and without clogging the recent edits. But, the second reason, as non-related as it may be, is due to me feeling like I have to prove something. I don't want anyone here to think I'm the same jerk I once was. I want to show everyone that I can be trusted as an editor here, and that I can be trusted with even the slightest bit of power. I ask that I at least be given the powers to show I will not in any way, shape, or form abuse them. And I truly, truly apologize for the attitude I once had. Please, give me a second chance. At the bottom of this request I will add the other Wiki's I have started or that I administrate on, several of which are thriving. Thank you for your time.

Support

  1. Support - I don't doubt your abilities. BNK [E|T|C] 01:22, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Support: $wgHasReverts = "true"; $wgHasRecentReverts = "false"; That said, I don't think that it matters much given that you show that you've got a good idea of what rollback is, and that, like BNK, you've changed your attitude. As a result, I think I'm ok with giving you the go-ahead here. RAN1 (talk • contributions) 01:33, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Support: Despite your qualms with the administration in the past, there's no denying that you're a conscientious contributor to the wiki. You'd make a fine rollbacker. - GalaxiaD Talk 20:16, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Support - I think KP's earned a chance at using these tools. I really can't find a good reason on why to oppose. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 02:45, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
  5. Slight Support: Your lack of recent reverts and past history lets you down, but I trust you to use the tool sensibly. PenguinofDeath 09:59, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
  6. Support. you may be a bit of an a-hole, but you still do work on this wiki, and i can respect that. Xtrme Whatever
  7. Slight See PoD, and I trust KP as a user.Smoreking(T) (c) 02:46, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Strong Oppose
  1. You've had 3+ chances already; this is not your "second" chance.
  2. I don't trust you.
  3. You have been blocked 7+ times, one of them at first a permaban.
  4. Your last revert was in February.
  5. Only 27 reverts, considering you've been part of this wiki for a very long time.
  6. Edit C-Hawk linked below.
98.111.95.78 02:05, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral, leaning slightly to support: I hadn't noticed that you were also referred to KP317, and so missed that little detail about your 3+ chances. After reading all the chances you've had, I don't know if this time has been long enough to get away from 7+ blocks and a bunch of requests tried. I can tell that you've changed, hence leaning to support, but I'm not sure that you've given enough time to this so as to make you've trusted. RAN1 (talk • contributions) 02:26, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Neutral leaning towards support. KP's been behaving himself here for quite a while now, and does revert some. Miles (talk) 04:42, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Neutral. See the two comments above. --HavocReaper'48 22:02, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  4. You're no longer a liability but you don't really edit. I don't see a compelling reason for you to have the tools, but I don't see a compelling reason to deny them to you. As a side note, despite my noted lack of faith in people, I do believe you've changed. I haven't talked to you really since our super long irc chat, goodness like nearly a year ago, but most people do a lot of growing up at about this time in their lives, if I am correct about your age and circumstances. We had something of a very neutral understanding back then methinks, but we also can't completely ignore your history. You had a natural talent for causing shitstorms, and while I don't see any way you can cause shitstorms with rollback, I'm still somewhat wary. Semicolon (talk) 05:09, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
  5. +1 to everything semi has said. Also, I will add two things. First, Rollback should be something you get after you've proved that you are a better contributor, not something you should need to be a good contributor. I don't think that's how you meant it, so I don't hold it against you. Second, I want to call atention to something you said in (one of) you last requests: "I'm requesting rollback rights...because its [sic] the first step toward being on the top of this Wiki." I sincerely hope this is not why you are requesting rollback this time... Basically, my stance is this: I am not going to support your bid for rollback for the stated reasons and other history, but I will not stand in the way of a community decision to give you rollback.

  6. 27 reverts is pretty good, but that hasn't been that recently. I'm still not sure.highway Highwaypumpypic.png pumpy 00:46, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

  1. Thanks to RAN1 for linking the other wiki's for me. Kperfekt BURN!!! Revert That! 01:44, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
  2. I don't know what real say an IP address has on this issue, but I respond:
  • I did not mean second chance as in rollback, I meant a second chance on this website.
  • You don't even know me, so don't say you don't trust me.
  • 4 of those blocks were taken off, and I got an apology from the person who banned me.

As I said before, I know I don't have the best track record. I think rollback powers would be a good chance for me to show I've changed. Kperfekt BURN!!! Revert That! 03:31, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

  1. To Clarinet Hawk, by saying the top of the wiki, I meant it as becoming a leader of this wiki, such as you or Miles, etc.. I didn't mean it in an evil way, I meant it in that I hope to be an admin one day. Whether or not I can prove myself as a different person remains to be seen. Kperfekt BURN!!! Revert That! 02:41, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Due to the overwhelming amount of supports or neutrals leaning toward support, I suggest, but am not against, this request being closed as a success. Kperfekt BURN!!! Revert That! 09:13, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, but requests aren't decided by a voting basis. Votes are just placed to give the admins knowledge of what the community says. 98.111.95.78 19:43, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
True, but 6 supports and 6 neutrals against 1 opposing vote gives KP some pretty good odds. Also, you said that you don't "trust" KP. This may not be the right place to ask this, but can you elaborate on this distrust? Cheezperson {talk}stuff 20:36, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
Furthermore, KP's recent behavior is what matters. His conduct two years ago should have little impact on your feelings towards his request for rollback. BNK [E|T|C] 21:48, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
If I may say so myself, that's not quite the case. We're also supposed to consider our opinion of the user in question. Trust in said user can be a factor in itself here; if you recall, it's what made me decide to change from support to neutral, since I'm really not sure anymore that I've seen a change in the KP of half a year ago, and the KP of now, so to say. RAN1 (talk • contributions) 00:39, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
@KP. 1) Not your call on this being closed. 2) Taking a look at the supports, what I see is as follows: 2 users actually vouching that you would use the tools well, 2 basically saying you probably would use them well, and two others who haven't made a mainspace edit to this wiki in over a year who you most likely drummed up from some other corner of the internet to support you. And 3) you say you've changed, and most of your edits support this statement, except these two gems: here and here. I know more than a few websites where these alone would get you blocked. So, no, I'm not ready to close this as I would hardly call the above a consensus nor do I have any personal belief that this is the right time. (To everyone) Feel free to explain to me why this should be otherwise. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 17:34, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
