SmashWiki:Requests for bureaucratship

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 page is for requesting that one become a Bureaucrat on the Smash Wiki.

Rules

• Only persons that are already sysops may request a position as a bureaucrat.
• Only self-nominations are allowed.
• All new nominees should post their name below as a in a level 3 header (===Username===). Underneath, the user should state why he/she would like to become an Bureaucrat. To prevent repetition of past information, all applicants should post a link to the archive of their RfA. Additionally, applicants should explain why they believe they should be a bureaucrat.
• Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so underneath the person requesting bureaucrat.
• 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 and moved to an appropriate subpage.

Miles.oppenheimer

Hey everyone, it's Miles. I've long planned to RfB, and there are a variety of reasons that I believe show my merits and would prove that I am worthy of becoming a bureaucrat of SmashWiki.

• Activity level. As Shadowcrest pointed out in his (successful) RfB, "In terms of activity, I'd say I'm more active than every other admin except maybe Miles." I'm on SmashWiki almost every day at least long enough to check my watchlist and deal with any pressing wiki issues. Some days I work on more major edits or do random editing, and as such am on even longer. If promoted, I'd be able to regularly check the status of other requests for promotions.
• Great record as a sysop. Since becoming a sysop back in December, I've deleted spam pages and non-notable smasher articles, blocked vandals, made appropriate protections, managed disputes and helped new users. I've also shown a good record with rollback powers since I acquired that ability previously.
• Long record of contributions to SmashWiki. I recently became SmashWiki's top contributor, and I'd like to think I got there on both quality and quantity. I've also helped with the Smash Arena and the Featured Article systems at various points. (All of these snippets since #13 except one were written by yours truly.)
• Objective viewpoint. I feel I would bring a clear mind and even disposition to the review of requests for promotion, being able to judge the consensus of the community and acting accordingly.
• I'd also like to point out that having three active bureaucrats (myself in addition to Clarinet Hawk and Shadowcrest) would create redundancy in the system, making sure there is always someone available to manage issues and requests for promotion.
• My RfA, my contributions, my edit count.

Thank you for reading and, in advance, for commenting. Miles (talk) 23:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Support

1. YES It's about time. Every single last one of your contributions are positive. Plus you're such an amazing SysOp I thought you were already bcrat. lol Paper Bowser (talk) 00:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

• Alright, here it is. You honestly haven't shown many Bureaucrat qualities, and you seem to want this position simply to speed up the "RF" processes, which there are very few of, and between Shadowcrest and Clarinet Hawk, they seem to be being taken care of. NOw as for each your points-

• Activity-That doesn't do much, especially since Shadowcrest comes here every day too.
• SySop Record-None of the things you mentioned had anything to do with bureaucratship-like traits, including judgement. You haven't really dealt with user bans, moreso vandal IPs and the such. You're user conflict record isn't extraneously amazing, and is not a major difference between Bcrat and SySop imo
• Long record-Top contributor doesn't mean much, seeing as how it's edit count, not contributions or what namespace the edits are actually in. And as for FA's, that has nothing to do with bcrat.
• Viewpoint-I can say things true, yet that would not make them true. You have not shown your ability to judge in the manner you have said.

And that's my stance.Smoreking^(T) _(c) 00:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
