Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Drkdragonz66

I'd like to nominate Drkdragonz for admin, so below is a list of my reasoning:


 * 1) He is very active.
 * As you can see from his contributions, it is clear he puts a lot of dedication into editing the wiki.
 * 1) He shows great understanding for the wiki.
 * This can be seen from his steady stream of high-quality news blogs
 * Also his forum input, in which he shows a great deal of understanding of what's going on and is always willing to put input into the discussion.
 * 1) His edits are of a high standard.
 * While his mainspace edit count may not be that high, his mainspace edit contributions are of a high standard and contain a large amount of antivandalism.
 * 1) He is dedicated to maintenance tasks.
 * This is seen in his file edits and his template edits.
 * 1) He shows good conduct in what he does.
 * He is always willing to help people, as can be seen here, here and here.
 * He's generally friendly and doesn't take a hostile approach to things.
 * 1) He is well integrated in the community.
 * This is shown by his standing as a member of the news team and as mentioned before, his constant supply of well-made news blogs.

So for these reasons I think Drkdragonz would make a good administrator. 20:12, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I accept the nomination, and am excited to see what others think about me.20:16, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm fine with not having full operator status right away on the IRC channel, since there's usually an admin who will deal with any occasional spammers that appear.05:26, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) Full Support Per all.  But seriously man, I recall asking you on IRC if I would nominate you for admin.  You said and I quote I don't want/need admin toold and I never will.  I find it quite odd you are accepting this RFA despite what you said.  But you have my full support and I think you will make a great admin.--  ThunderGun.png  Guitar t-bone Talk!

 * I said that i wouldnt nominate myself, but i would accept nominations. :P 18:34, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) I was wondering when someone was going to make him an admin. He certainly could benefit the wiki with these powers. --14:34, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

 * What are you even trying to say? You don't like Drk, you don't think he would be fit for the job... what? I don't think only "Meh" is a valid reason. 09:01, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Elaborate, as you have not given a valid opinion on the matter. 13:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * You realize that there is, right? 18:11, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)   Withdrawing vote.  18:24, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like I'm "That guy" =( 20:16, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Your point is? 20:17, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * That I feel that he is not mature enough for admin? (Keep my record out of this please, I'm not running for admin) 20:18, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * knowing megan's attitude towards everything though she'll probs oppose :P 20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * What's the point of even saying this? 20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dunno lol 20:28, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * And to clarify, what I see in the next few days will greatly influence my vote. 20:32, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well he said he was "that guy" 20:33, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * On IRC, he's quite friendly, and what may at first look like immaturity (such as repeating call of "poor "), it shouldn't be taken very seriously. While the "temperature" on IRC is mainly cool, the situation can be very hot, but in those cases I have never seen Drk being immature and/or irresponsible. Though I don't know how he behaves or has behaved to you, I wouldn't say he is immature. 21:29, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * May I point out that though I am infrequently on IRC, I can gather from what you just said that Drk is not proficient at presenting his opinions in a friendly way and instead comes off as hostile, even when he does not intend to do so. I have seen many users go off the rails as a result of taking something someone said the wrong way; however, it is the fault of the user who came off as hostile that any problem was created. Shotrocket6 10:53, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really. If the interpreter fails to interpret something properly, it's their fault. 14:22, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps to a certain extent, yes, but it is for the most part the hostile user's fault. Shotrocket6 00:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say the oppose. While it is partly the hostile user's fault, the "victim" should be able to take a joke, which it is in these cases. 08:42, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is absolutely not the responsibility of any user to be able to "take a joke." Shotrocket6 01:19, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) When I removed him from the Quick Licence he /ignored me on IRC and he said it was for some other reason, which is not what admins should do. They should not let personal feelings have influence on what they do on the wiki and IRC. Also per cpl. -- 20:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * ^told you 20:40, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * lmao smuff 20:46, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) --  20:47, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 20:58, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Changing to 21:34, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Even though he has done quite a lot for this wiki, he dies seem a bit immature in IRC, spamming "poor Joeytje50", abusing my autoreply script to say "poor " back automatically, and continue after I told him to stop several times. Even though this is not really enough to oppose a RfA, he does seem to do such kind of things more often (it is indeed a bit immature to /ignore someone for removing you from the access list of something) and I hope he learns from his mistakes so that he could be a bit more mature. Also, he has said he would become quite a lot less active, which adds to why I also think you might have to wait a bit longer (maybe until you can be more active again) before becoming admin. 10:44, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Mr Expert.
 * 3) From what I've seen, he constantly violates UTP on IRC, telling users to 'Fuck Off' or to 'gtfo.' I also do not see a need for the tools, everything he does he can do with the tools he has now. He has also shown a somewhat high level of immaturity. He does not seem to understand what COD:UTP is as he is warned many times. He also occasionally goes on chat and simply trolls. He has been banned at least 3 times. If he can't even control himself in Chat and IRC, how on earth can he handle the admin tools?  00:52, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Err I recall your attitude towards him and Diego being less than friendly, responding with "idgaf". We understand he is just playing around when he spams. I dont recall instances of "Fuck off", instead friendly shoos. He has an incredulous amount of edits, which would greatly be benefited by these tools. 03:06, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * A large amount of edits does not mean he should be an admin, a large amount of edits would have been able to been performed by a bot. I constantly told him to stop and just ask Sactage to do it with URL, but it seemed he was obsessing over edits. I only said 'idgaf' to stop a future argument with was almost inevitable after Diego said that Drk only says "gtfo" to me. It was meant that it doesn't matter who he said it to. Lastly, he did say "Fuck off", I clearly remember it, I do not have logs unfortunately. 03:53, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I too, indeed recall incidents like this, especially outside of #wikia-cod. 14:52, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * With the exception of extremely rare cirumstances, off wiki incidents of any shape or form do not count toward the outcome of any kind of discussion on this wiki. 16:24, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought he meant on this wiki, but not on IRC. Or maybe in #wikia-codprivate. 16:38, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * The latter. 18:08, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sp3c, I also don't appreciate being told over IRC you'd be a better candidate, after getting desysopped less than 1 month ago. Therefore your vote won't be counted, since you're voting with your own gain in heart. 18:14, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Counted in consensus? 18:23, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is not being counted. According to the overlord. -- 19:27, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was joking, that's why I was using the '1337esque' language, I'm sorry if you misunderstood. 22:45, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Erm... I never saw any 1337 language, with the exception of abbreviations, which are still different. That didn't look like you were joking, at all. 22:46, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * It was a PM to CoD4 that was like that, not the actual vote. 22:49, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't actually think it's right to not count his vote. Don't we only have one voting requirement (mainspace edits)? BOofficialicon.jpg Poketape  Talk 04:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, we do. -- 07:25, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or that the user knows what he is doing, IAR. 10:02, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * @cod4: why would you let the reasons of the votes count in weighing the quality of the arguments? The arguments don't become more valid or less valid because of the reasons of the vote. And if you are only going to count votes (nice and democratic <_>), the vote is still a valid vote, as the reasons are valid reasons. Even though it is not good that someone would vote for himself to be better, the truth is as true then as it is when those reasons are not behind it. 11:36, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) A pretty good editor, although a few of his template edits were bad. BOofficialicon.jpg Poketape  Talk 04:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Everyone makes mistakes... 07:20, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's whether they can capitalize on these mistakes is the main point of it. Sure people make mistakes, but if they cannot correct them, they're done for. -- 11:49, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Which he did. 11:59, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * While capitalizing on small problems, like templates and coding is all well and good. I don't think he has capitalized on his, sometimes immature behavior on IRC. -- 12:03, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * True, but desperatism? Really? I have not seen any 'desperate' behaviour from Drk. -- 11:55, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 12:54 YellowRiolu And can I just say that I do most things that Drkdragonz does yet I don't get recognized. Oh no he gets all the glory. *angry*
 * 12:55 YellowRiolu He copied what I started doing and then he took all the
 * 12:56 YellowRiolu He also got REALLY angry at me when I said I made the 3,000th article when I found out he did
 * 12:57 YellowRiolu In any way, I didn't make a difference, because Drk stole it all
 * To me it sounds like you're jealous and that is all the oppose is about. 11:59, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a reason you don't see him editing; he's classed as a bot by the wiki to stop his image corrections flooding the activities feed. The result is that none of his edits appear on the feed. 12:03, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not jealous, as I don't care about adminship. He did steal some of my ideas, in the past, for example he's used some of my examples in places before and took it too far when he got the 3000th edit. However I am wishing him the best of luck even though in my opinion he shouldn't get it yet. Maybe I was exaggerating a bit in chat. And I understand Raven, just maybe bot flags was a bit too much. 12:05, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * vs . Good Fight. 12:07, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, he has like 10x my edits. I'm fine. I didn't know about the Creative Commons License until Azuris told me. His UTP violations, (I was a witness to most of what Sp3c said) make me still oppose though 12:11, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've voided YR's vote since it is based on assumptions and is mostly incorrect. He's constantly on the wiki and saying he isn't displays ignorance and an attempt to pluck out of thin air false reasoning to oppose this RfA. And his rant against Drk on Chat just displays this vote is out of jealousy and hatred. 12:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Comments/Questions
HOLD THE PHONE - Drk has said he would not be editing that much anymore a short while ago. I'd first like to know if he changed his mind or not, as it is no use to have a new inactive admin 20:15, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * To clarify, i meant that i wont be putting all off my efforts on this wiki, as i edit on several others. That, and once school starts, might limit my actions. But if i was (for example) 80% active right now, i would probably be 60% active later, but still active.20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
