Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Joe Copp (4)

Hi, my name is Joe Copp, and after some heavy consideration, I'm here to request bureaucrat flags.

I've been on this wiki for a good amount of time, and I've been an administrator since the beginning of November. I like to think I've done a pretty good job handling my sysop tools and that users would trust me enough to be granted bureaucrat flags. I have handed out a number of on-wiki and chat bans, and I have continued my efforts in the War Room.

I feel my request is now relevant because with the summer and the end of public school years rapidly approaching, chances are readership will grow with the abundance of CoD players having nothing else to do. Readership will increase, as will the number of users we have here. Not to get ahead of myself either, but future BOII news that surfaces will surely bring new users as well.

Currently we only have about 4 bureaucrats active: Azuris, Callofduty4, Sactage, and Chiafriend12, and while some may argue that is a surplus to needs, I do not see a reason why I, should I be trusted enough with the tools, should be opposed based on that reason alone.

While I don't do a lot of mainspace work myself, I'm always available on the chat to render help to those that need it. I have been called "The Community Admin," if that's worth anything.

Thanks for your consideration, and I'll learn from whatever you post. Joe Copp 09:05, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * "Not done anything that makes me think he would not be able to use the tools effectively" neither has most of the admin team, yet they aren't running for bureaucrat. 21:16, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * Since you're calling the opposition's points irrelevant, how might an increase in traffic bring about the need for extra bureaucrats? If it was for say, sysop rights, then yes, it would be valid as more traffic means more vandalism is likely to occur. Bureaucrat flags, on the other hand, are simply are for the handing out of rights to other users; there is no correlation between increasing traffic levels and the need for rights to be handed out with such immediacy; if anything, simply put, it's a nul point. 19:31, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Having Joe available as a 'crat would make it easy to hand out and take away rollback and admin when needed, and if there is more vandalism, we might need more users with rollback, if there is a immediate issue with a administrator, there might not be any other 'crats on hand, as we don't really have that many. What I am saying is we might need another 'crat on hand for these types of situations. 21:20, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * ...But the RfA process takes two weeks; odds are a bureaucrat will be around around that general period of time to pass the RfA in the first place, and there's only ever been three admins who got their sysop flags removed. Rollback flags don't overly need to be handed out with such urgency either, and I can't really recall anyone having their rollback rights removed. 21:40, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * When have you last seen Bovell? I've only seen him make opinion blogs within the last several months. 21:56, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * He goes on IRC more than enough and appears in forums to point out flaws in my logic. 21:58, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

I am quite sure the Bovelli M1014 is still active as well. 15:07, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

If Darkman4 becomes active again (he contributed for the first time in over a year just a few days ago), would this have make Joe have a lesser chance at becoming a bureaucrat? 22:05, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
