SmashWiki:Requests for adminship

This page documents an official SmashWiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page.

This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.

Rules & Regulations

• Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot make a nomination on behalf of another user.
• After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived.
• Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing.
• Candidates should describe why the wiki should want them to be sysops, not why they want to be sysops on the wiki.
• When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should/should not become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose.
• Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. Users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be directed towards the appropriate request.
• Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how s/he would handle it.
• Users that have been blocked in the past, or who have previously made an RfA and failed, are no less eligible for adminship. However, such users should be able to demonstrate how they have improved since the block/previous RfA, lest their RfA find serious opposition.

Past nominations

• For a list of all previous requests for adminship that ended with the candidate's promotion, please see this category.
• For a list of all previous requests for adminship wherein the candidate was not promoted, please see this category.

How to nominate

If you have not had a request for adminship page before, follow this two-step process.

1. Go to the end of the requests section below, and add the following text:
   {{{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Username}} Where "Username" is the name of the user being nominated.
2. Click on the created red link, and add:
   {{subst:rfa|Username|reason for nomination}}

However, if you have had a previous request for adminship, follow this process instead.

1. Go to the end of the requests section below, and add the following text:
   {{{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Username (#)}}
   Where "Username" is the name of the user being nominated, and where # is 2 for the second RfA, 3 for the third, and so on.
2. Click on the created red link, and add:
   {{subst:rfa|Username|reason for nomination}}

Current requests

The following discussion is an archived debate of the nomination of a user for adminship. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this page.

	This RfA was closed as failed.
	Reason:	User didn't RfA correctly, is too new to be a good admin, and attempted to use a vandal sockpuppet to get revert cred. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 22:02, 21 October 2013 (EDT)

Hi, I'm Fireblaze77, and I believe I can help this wiki be much better with me as an admin. Here are the reasons why.

• I'm on here a lot. Like almost every day, trying to be here at least 30 minutes.
• I'm a Smash Bros buff. I mean, I search the web for techniques to use almost every day.
• I've never trolled other users.
• I stick to the facts.I"ll delete opinions on any article except for talk pages.
• No admin has trouble with me. (If you do hate me, just send me a email at fireblaze7683@gmail.com or dial 555-DUMB.)
• I have 0/100 tolerance of trolls.
• I'm very experienced with WikiCodes.
• I try to elaborate articles such as Super Jump Punch and Short hop. Check the history of those articles if you don't believe me.

I also will try to help on SSB4 articles. I hope you will accept.

Oppose

1. Oppose The fact that you didn't create a proper RfA tells me that you can't read directions properly. Plus I have not seen any demonstration of leadership skills from you. If you want to become admin here, prove that you're a good leader, show how you can handle disputes, show that you're good at wiki coding, get involved more in the community, and maybe you'll have a better chance at passing. Don't just tell us you can do these things. But just contributions won't do much for adminship. Awesome Cardinal 2000 18:35, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
2. Strong Oppose In addition, not to be offensive but you just became a user like less than a week ago and you haven't really dedicated yourself as a user quite yet. Dots The Formerly ..... 18:39, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
3. Strong Oppose Naive. You didn't demonstrate for being considered for this position. Come back much later after you show the wiki what you can do. Luigi540 (talk) 18:55, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
4. Strong Oppose You need to show your dedication and dispute handling skills to become an admin; a few contributions won't carry your weight in deciding it. Also, per Ac2k, you didn't even make a proper RfA; keep these things in mind before you apply for this position again, and try to shoot for rollback first instead of jumping straight to something you clearly are not able to handle yet (I really don't like linking this because I think it's quite demeaning, but I really think you should take a look at WP:SNOW as it describes your situation right now in this request.) --Timson622222 (talk) 19:12, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
5. Yeah no I cannot say much more other than what has been said above. RoyboyX Talk 19:38, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
6. Let me think... how about... no? I popped back into the wiki just to say this. Pretty much what the people above me said. Air Conditioner Come together! 19:40, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
7. Strong Oppose To build on Timson's claim, I direct you here. Sorry, mate. Cheers. Oasidu (talk) 20:04, 21 October 2013 (EDT)
