Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship

Give a good reason and request for adminship in the bottom subsection if you wish to become an administrator, or bureaucrat.

Requirements for adminship
To qualify to be an administrator, you must meet a set of requirements.

You must
 * Have been here for at least a month.
 * Have edited at least a thousand times.
 * Be civil.
 * Have no record of serious offenses (E.g. vandalism, personal attacks).
 * Be known and trusted by others.

Regulations for voting

 * Keep your cool. RfAs have been known to host some nasty flame wars. If another user disagrees with you and gives you trouble, just keep your cool and don't fight back. That may sound "cowardly", but if you fight back, you could receive a block, and/or make the flame war escalate.
 * New users can't vote. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Someone can easily make a bunch of dummy accounts, all vote for their friend to be an admin, and unfairly turn the tide of the vote. For this reason, new users cannot vote for the possibility of being a sockpuppet. Anyone trying to use sockpuppets will be blocked.
 * Be descriptive. Though you don't have to, it's a lot easier for a discussion if you say why you're voting what you're voting. If you just say "Support - --Example 06:24, 20 April 2008 (UTC)", you're not really saying why the candidate should be an admin, and your vote may be excluded and strikethrough ed. It's not just for supports, but for all votes.

Glossary of vote titles
Not just the standard "Support" and "Oppose"s are used in RfAs. This subsections lists mosts vote types.
 * Support - A positive vote.
 * Strong Support - A very positive vote.
 * Weak Support - A positive vote, but the voter is bound to change their vote.
 * Neutral - A vote saying that the voter is unsure about the nominee/between supporting and opposing.
 * Neutral leaning towards Support - A neutral vote, but closer to support than oppose.
 * Neutral leaning towards Oppose - A neutral vote, but closer to oppose than support.
 * Oppose - A negative vote.
 * Pending - Vote not yet decided.


 * Comment - A comment.
 * Not yet - A negative vote saying that the nominee has not been around long enough, but would be admin material if they had been around for a longer time.
 * Question - A sort of comment that asks a question. (Ex. What would you do with your tools?)

Requests
If you feel you are up to the job, make a subsection for your request, and the community will discuss it.

Peter Griffen Boy (2)
I've been told by some users to try to get some suggestions from other users, so here I go again. I've been an admin on another wiki, (the Call of Duty Fanon Wiki, also known as MUC) and feel that I have matured up significantly, and have gotten about 650 mainspace edits and just got 3000 total edits.

Neutral - You have matured up and now have no problems here with any users, which is a good thing. The problem why I can't support you is that you have only recently came off of a block. If you had not have been blocked I would have supported but unfortunately, it is a neutral from me. Doc.Richtofen 16:13, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet/Weak Oppose - While I totally agree you have matured significantly, you're mainspace edit count is still quite low, and your recent block is very fresh in people's heads. I would wait until March/April or when you reach 1000 mainspace edits. Then I'd full on support you. 16:16, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- Good to see people aren't still angry, I'm here to take some advice from my other users. However on mainspace edits may I argue that Poketape does have a tad bit more mainspace then I do (around twenty) and still got in? I still enjoy seeing Weak Opposes and Nuetrals.

Comment - Correct. I didn't exactly support Poketape's RFA though. I still want to see some more mainspace action and then that weak oppose of mine will turn into a weak support, and with even more mainspace edits it will turn it into a full on support. 16:32, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment Please don't bring me into this. He actually opposed my rfa. (Although from a vote standpoint weak oppose and oppose are the same thing). Poketape 21:29, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

'Neutral - In the requirements, it says an admin can not have had any serious offenses. Maybe we can overrule that in your favor, but it's been two days since you got off your block for a series of personal harassment. However, the change in your attitude has been so great over those 30 days that I have to say I'm pleased. Also, being an admin on a fanon wiki isn't that much of a great achievement, especially when it has 4 or 5 editors and pretty much no vandals. Just keep at it the way you are now, and prove to people that you have matured, and it'll be fine. --  T    C    E   17:14, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - This should also be looked at. It's very concerning. -- 2nd_Lieutenant.png8oh8sig.png  T   C    E   18:39, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I'm going to set aside all of your past misdemeanors, which itself is a pretty big issue. You just came off of a ban, and your actions that caused said ban are still pretty questionable. But here's the thing - the top THREE editors on this wikia without powers are: CoD1, you and me. I looked into the edit stats:

You have, as of now, 668 mainspace edits, leading up to a 22%. Your highest percentage is Blog Posts, totaling up to 821 user blog comments and 157 blog edits. That adds up to 978 blog edits, or approximately 32%. Adding your user page edits and talk page edits, (291 and 993 respectively, 1,284 together) that gives you a 42% with that. 42 + 32 = 74. You could add everything else into account - more than 75% of your edits are... well... not mainspace edits.

CoD1 has 1,085 mainspace edits, giving him over 52%. I have nothing against that.

I have 1,572 mainspace edits, totaling up to 91% mainspace.

Mainspace editing alone... sorry, but this is how I see it. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 17:38, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - I agree with what you're saying, but just because his percentage isn't above 50 doesn't mean anything. We look at count, not percentage. -- 2nd_Lieutenant.png8oh8sig.png  T   C    E   17:41, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - As 808 said, percentage means little compared to the number of edits. In many ways, looking only at mainspace edits and percentages punishes editors who take a more active part in discussion on Talk pages and COD space. --Scottie theNerd 10:05, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I really wish you had listened to the advice I gave you on your talk page. The community is not ready to trust you yet, and I am not confident that giving you admin powers will really help the wiki. I gave you more than enough advice on how to best go about becoming an admin. It is way too soon and you still aren't ready for adminship, even ignoring your past offenses. Also, constantly RFA'ing when most users feel that you aren't ready comes across as arrogant, impatient, and immature, which can hurt your chances in future RFAs, where your chances at success would have been more realistic (but don't worry, it's not like you've sentenced yourself to death by doing this or anything like that). And if this is another RFA that is just for the purpose of getting user input, then "bad idea" is really all I have to say. There are plenty of other ways to get user input. Imrlybord7 18:31, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Give it another month or two, you have matured up, let's see if it stays that way... Smuff 18:46, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Two days after a block that was actually revoked early is a little too soon. It wasn't a minor offense either, for me, a one month block is far from minor. Plus I do believe that Juan made a great point in his comment. More than half of your upwards of 3000 edits come from user talk, user blog, and user blog comments alone. As Imrlybord has suggested, it may be in your best interest to wait a while before nominating yourself for adminship again, in order to earn the community's trust. 19:17, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet An admin shouldn't have as many enemies as you. Also, an admin should have close to no blocks. This recent block shows you still need time. Poketape 21:35, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- Actully Poketape, besides stupid users that have no purpose but to be stupid, I honestly have no enemies. Jose and I are working our problems out. Greivier, EightOhEight and Bord have both been solved and so with Callofduty4. Also, I'mrlybord7 was blocked for one and a half days for flaming another user and still got it.


 * Comment - I doubt Jose would describe your conversation as "working it out". There's also Warpanda13. And 1 1/2 days ≠ 30 days. -- 2nd_Lieutenant.png8oh8sig.png  T   C    E   23:32, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment I especially can't support you after you tried to vote twice in the featured articles and got blocked. Poketape Talk 02:19, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I have no confidence in Peter Griffin Boy. Admins should have a clean record, which reflects their capacity to work positively with other users. There's no reason to waiver this requirement, especially since PGB has a serious record of offenses and has only just come back from a block. The wiki isn't that desperate for admins to appoint someone who has a proven to be inconsiderate and hot-headed. To make PGB an admin is to demean the purpose and status of an administrator. --Scottie theNerd 10:00, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Recent disputes and yet another block further establish that PGB is not suitable to be a member of the admin team. --Scottie theNerd 05:39, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree completely. I doubt that I will ever support you in an RFA, and I'm sure most users feel the same. Although you have demonstrated the potential to change, you have also shown that you are prone to misbehaving, which is an unacceptable trait for an admin. Imrlybord7 13:52, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Only about a couple hundred more edits PGB and you'll be there, ok? Jst hang in there and it will happen. 16:04, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - When I first joined the Wikia, everyone was talking about something bad that PGB had done. I really don't know how bad it was but it sounded pretty bad. Lt.  Dunn   22:30, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- I never called Poketape a pussy. He blocked me with no warning or no real reason and I said it was starting to look like one. You can't just ban someone for accideently hitting two and then refusing to let them vote again because of a stupid accident. Poketape could have erased one and seen it as a mistake and just forgot about it, but no he blocked for an accident for one week, and I got Callofduty4's support on that.

Comment Actually you said I was acting like one. Although there's a difference, it's not very big. As for for blocking you, you started insulting me after taking away your double vote. If you simply explained yourself nothing would've happened. I'm still not sure how you accidentally voted twice, although it is possible because you forgot to leave your signature (which admins should always remember to do). I also had support for the block, but I don't want to bring those people into this. Poketape Talk 02:16, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- That was before I got this baby, and it was late at night. From my point of view it looked like you were erasing my votes because didn't want anyone to oppose. Who knows someone else might have voted and not left anything, I might have done it late at night when I'm tired. I don't honestly care, it was one vote on a five support, not like it was gonna make a difference, and it's not vandalisim, because that page isn't really important to the wiki.


 * Comment - And that last comment of PGBs demonstrates exactly the kind of attitude that should not be held by an administrator. Imrlybord7 20:52, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- I was just seeing my point of view, if it really botherd you, you could have just erased one vote, as I see User:Smuff got his edit undone and a little protection block to stop from further harm, but if i make a mistake I guess I'm a nasty vandal. Anyway, it's not likely to change anything, but I got 800 mainsapce now.

Comment So you're saying you trying to cheat the system is the same as having your little brother access your account and write spam. I don't remember him attacking admins for getting blocked. Poketape Talk 03:34, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I'm going to say "NO WAY" after seeing his recent argument with JJR. In my opinion, it shows he can't handle actually being nice to people and showing respect for people in the community, even admins. If he doesn't respect an admin as a user, how will he respect us as an admin? Cpl. Wilding 03:14, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Personal conflicts aside, one thing I find at fault with PGB and his applications is that he is too keen to become an admin (i.e. trying too hard). Chiafriend quoted Jimbo Wales along the lines of being an administrator not being that big a deal. If you're actually trying to be an admin and plan ahead on when you'll apply next, it shows me that you're interested in the position and the power more than the actual responsibility. You don't have to be an admin to be an asset to the community. If you're not getting along with other users or other admins, you're not going to enjoy being an admin, and the community won't appreciate you being one either. This is an important understanding that should be considered by future applicants. --Scottie theNerd 06:26, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Doc.Richtofen
I have been here since August 2009. In the past few months I have become very involved in reporting vandals to admins and fixing pages that have been vandalized. I have an impeccable behaviour record. I have amassed over 650 mainspace edits. With administrative powers, I could handle pages better. I could also block vandals myself, instead of waiting for an admin to do it, which is sometimes a lengthy process.

Support- I believe you would make a great admin.AdvancedRookie 19:51, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Support - With a perfect behavioral record and a lot of contributions to the site, I can't imagine why not. Imrlybord7 20:52, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Very easy-to-get-along-with user, and does excellent anti-vandal work as well. 21:41, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Support - The Doctor is a very kind and helpful user. He's mature, and has a flawless behavioral record. A great editor and user all round. 21:51, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Doc. has made many contributions and is always nice to new users. I think he would make an amazing admin. Lt.  Dunn   23:07, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Support- Per all above and he has no enemies. Lt. Col. Gen.Cain T C   E 00:04, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Strong presence on the wiki. Has an excellent track record and an good attitude towards working with other editors. Would be an asset to the admin team. --Scottie theNerd 06:49, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Same thing I said about 808, how you're not an editor already beats me, you're one of the most dedicated editors to this wiki. Smuff 19:22, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Why not? One of the best editors here. Sorry you don't got enough mainspace edits. User lacks mainspace edits. Poketape Talk 19:34, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all, he is a great user. 03:03, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Perfect admin he'd be. I support him. 07:58, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Cpl. Wilding (2)
I believe my last RfA failed either because I didn't have the mainspace or it was just too soon. Either way, I believe I have the skills to be an admin and to help the wiki become a better place.


 * Over 800 mainspace edits


 * Active in the community


 * Started "The War on Impersonal Yous"
 * Has reverted a lot of vandalism

Pending/Comment - You may be the most active member of the coalition against impersonal yous, but I'm still the founder. Anyway, you are clearly a great editor, but I'm not entirely sure that you wield enough influence to be deserving of adminship. Sorry to leave you hanging like that. Imrlybord7 13:44, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Pending - Per Imrlybord7. It shouldn't be long though before it will be supports. It's sort of like with DevilWarrior, get your opinion heard in more places and that will help.

Change to Support - After looking through your contributions I think you are worthy. Imrlybord7 16:29, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Wilding is a deserving and active editor. 22:16, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Wilding is an active user and has many mainspace edits. Lt.  Dunn   22:27, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support - per Imrlybord. But about point #3, that's vague and unprofessional. So I can say that I started "The War On Vandals"? --   T    C    E    <font style="background:black"> '''EightOhEight    T     C     E     21:06, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Support - You are a very active editor, I see you fixing things all the time. I think you would make a great admin as you have the wiki's best interest in mind.

Change to Support - Per Saint.

SaintofLosAngelesXD(m)
I hereby nominate Saint for the position of bureaucrat. I feel that A) we need another 'crat (no offense to Chia, but it's too big a job for one user), and B) that Saint is the most "flawless" of all of the sysops. He is extremely intelligent, friendly, patient, helpful, dedicated, and well-behaved. I can think of no reason not to afford him these powers. Imrlybord7 17:41, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Support - as nominator. Imrlybord7 17:41, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Completely agree.

Support - I agree wholeheartedly with this nomination. Mmm, Crispy... 19:02, March 5, 2010 (UTC) User lacks mainspace edits. Poketape Talk 18:30, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all, Saint's a good choice for the position.--WouldYouKindly 19:19, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Support - We definitely need another active b'crat --  <font color="darkolivegreen"> T   <font color="darkolivegreen"> C   <font color="darkolivegreen"> E    <font style="background:black"> '''EightOhEight    T     C     E     20:12, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose- I'm sorry, but he's more of the social editor. He's made around 930 mainspace edits, but I see another, more deserving, better editing admin right below this.

Comment RfAs shouldn't be affected by each other. It's whether or not Saint is deserving. Poketape Talk 04:13, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support Definately. I wish I nominated him! Poketape Talk 00:03, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Has the right method and manner for someone to take on higher administration duties. --Scottie theNerd 04:16, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Saint is well known and we need another bureaucrat. Lt.  Dunn   02:22, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Thanks to all for the support. Much appreciated. 23:55, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Great user and well respected in the community. 02:45, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Great person, editor, admin and steam friend.AdvancedRookie 16:12, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I agree. 14:41, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Callofduty4 (2)
I nominate COD4 as a bureaucrat because he helps a lot out and is a great user too. He is a great administrator, does a lot of work and is a big help to the wiki. He should really deserve these powers. 20:00, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. 20:00, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - This has been brought up before, and has been put down because Callofduty4 lacks the aloofness of a bureaucrat or something like that --  <font color="darkolivegreen"> T   <font color="darkolivegreen"> C   <font color="darkolivegreen"> E    <font style="background:black"> '''EightOhEight    T     C     E     20:25, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - He's going to become a 'crat in November. Ask Chia about it.


 * Comment - With all due respect, Doc, Chia doesn't decide that. -- 2nd_Lieutenant.png8oh8sig.png <font color="darkolivegreen"> T   <font color="darkolivegreen"> C   <font color="darkolivegreen"> E    TF141.jpg<font style="background:black"> '''EightOhEight    T     C     E     20:25, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Well, why dosen't he become one earlier? I'll talk to Chia about it. 20:23, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Wait a second, isn't he an admin already? Smuff 20:55, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Smuff, this is to be a Beauracrat. Slowrider7 20:57, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- No the only reason Callofduty4 can block people is because he's got funk.

Support- He's neen a pal, has around 1250 mainspace edits and has been very kind to a lot of people. I'm going to call him a mirror, if you're nice and do good stuff, he's nice. If you're a selfish, asshole vandal, he'll act selfish and be an ass to you, cause you deserve it. If you disagree with me you must now be paying much attention,

Oppose That actually needs a little attention. Acting like an ass to asses might seem okay, but it's important to create a standard. Poketape Talk 00:03, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment-Poketape showing vandals respect should be worth a block.

Neutral - He's competent and practical, which is halfway there. However, bureaucrats shouldn't need to act like asses to anybody, and I'm concerned that having this "mirror" attitude will be more detrimental to the community than worthwhile. --Scottie theNerd 04:18, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Firstly, thanks a lot for the nomination, Devilwarrior, it means a lot to me. Secondly, when have I been an "ass"? I warn vandals and I block them. How is that being an ass? If me being an "ass" relates to the message I left you on your talk page, then I don't know what to say, what you guys did was completely unacceptable by any means. 09:44, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you warn and block vandals, but you also laugh at them. 10:16, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Why do you have to cherry pick one bad case out of many good cases? He deserved that anyway. Yes, it was a babyish thing to do but still, he deserved it. 21:26, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was the first thing I saw, and it doesn't even matter if someone deserved it. It's part of an administrator's job to be both above the vandals and trolls and to be a good example for behavior other users should have on the site. There's not that big of a leap from doing what you did to an IP to doing that to another registered user, which is most definitely, at that point, unacceptable. 04:44, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Cod1 (5)
Hi there everybody. Well it's me again. I believe it is the right time to try again. If I become an admin, I promise to work with everybody. I promise to use my tools to good measure, and with great professionalism.

I have the determination to make this wiki an even better place for CoD info. I promise to be professional with my tools, and act like any other user. I know being an administrator does not make you any more important than anyone else. I feel I am pretty well known on this wiki, I have a pretty mixed reputation, and over 2100 edits.

So please have your say. Thanks a lot, 00:33, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Cod1 has the required mainspace edits and would be a good admin. Lt.  Dunn   00:42, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Nuetral- It pains me to do this. But there are three main reasons why I must do this. 1) There's gonna be a hell load of admins coming in. I think it would be better if you and I ran together in April 2)You're not that well known and haven't been that active lately 3)You're not that active in community disscussions. I wanna support but I just can't see it . You deserve this, it is a very tough decision, but I'm going for nuetral, but you'll most likely get passed.

Comment Is there really any reason to run at the same time? If anything wouldn't that just lessen your chances? Poketape Talk 03:56, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Support - Sorry about this dude, but I've never seen you until this point, however, you do look like a good editor, you do have a nice edit count and if you get more votes from some admins or high profile users (808 and Doc for eg.) I'll happily change it to a yes. Also, don't worry, not having a rep isn't that bad a thing, just get some support ok? Smuff 01:07, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose I still don't think you're up to adminship. At least you took a long time this time. Make sure you remember to include what number try this is. To me it seems like you just took longer so people would forget about you (Which seems to have worked). Poketape Talk 03:56, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - PGB's right, you haven't been that active or partaking in community discussions lately. You have a good edit count which always helps. Become more involved in the community and I will support you.

Neutral - If you became more active I'd support you. You have everything an admin needs except the activity. 09:44, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - More activity needed. I'll support you if you keep doing what everyone's telling you to do. 12:41, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards support - Per all. Imrlybord7 20:49, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Juan Jose Rodriguez
I nominate Rodriguez as admin because he's near 2,000 overall edits, his user page is wonderful and he is a respected user. 08:39, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. 08:42, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I do have to admit, he is one of the best editors on this wiki & he is very friendly and helpful, but his edits most of the time are very minor, usually one or two letter changes. While Im going to admit that he is a major help to the Wiki, he just needs to put more volume in his edits. Slowrider7 12:24, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral, Leaning towards Support - I'd love to make you an admin, JJR, but like Imrlybord said, you need to be more active in community discussions. I haven't really seen that in the past few days plus like Slowrider said, your edits are rather minor. Cpl. Wilding 12:28, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - First of all, I'd like to thank DevilWarrior112 for the request. I'd also like to say that I agree with Bord and I have to be more active in community discussions. As of right now, here are the goals I'd like to uncover:

1) Finding out how to be more active in community discussions (How about IRC meetings? No-one's ever on those. I just want to mainly know WHAT to participate in.)

2) Possibly becoming a rollback.

I'd like to say that I will take all votes for, neutral or against me in stride and I WILL try to improve. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 13:16, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Support - In any of my discussions with him he has demonstrated an excellent attitude, and he is obviously a great editor. I would gladly trust him to be a sysop. However, he does need to get a bit more involved in the community (which he is free to do during and after his RFA, regardless of the outcome). Imrlybord7 16:37, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
