Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Crazy sam10

Ok, I thought I would put this forward for two reasons:

The first reasoning I have is that many of you may know me as the chat mod who is commonly online a lot (with some exceptions due to time zones), in this time I have seen a fair few sock puppets and the only way to deal with them is to go into IRC and get someone to come out and deal with them. Whilst IRC can be lively at times it is supposed to be the talk for users to discuss wikia changes and as such disturbing them slows this down. Gaining the ability to do this myself cuts the middle man as it were as any sock puppets can be dealt with quickly and efficiently without the need to disturb the IRC chat.

My Second reason for doing this is the release of Modern Warfare 3. It is fast approaching and that means there will be a large influx of edits, not all of them helpful. Getting this adminship now would be very beneficial for the wikia as they would gain another user to patrol the recent changes. Whilst I'm not much of an editor I am quite adept at dealing with vandals and would happily help out, also my presence in chat would help out as if any vandals strike while I'm otherwise busy their details can be placed in chat so I can see them and deal with them.

I understand many of the users here don't know me too well as I am commonly in the chat system, but I can assure you whilst I have few edits I do know what I'm doing as an admin. I am currently an admin at the Fallout wikia (The Vault), which requires you to have 1000 edits and 3 months activity minimum before you can put forward request, I understand this is a different wikia and it should have no bearing here, but I wanted it to be brought to others attention I do know what I'll be doing. Thank you for reading this and please leave your opinions below.

Thanks again. - Crazy Sam10 Talk Poll 19:08, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Also, MW3 is coming up soon... You never know what might happen. 19:19, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The release of MW3 works as an argument here, but not on my RfA? Fair enough. 20:11, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just saying, your RfA was during the summer. Now that MW3 is literally a month away, I think people are starting to realize that its going to be a time of more work than originally expected.

Oppose

 * 1) While you are a great user and mean well by this, you are still inexperienced on this wiki. With less than five hundred edits and almost no input into wiki-related discussions in the War Room, I feel you are requesting administative powers preemtively. Off-wiki experience is a bonus, as is a knowledge of the sysop tools, but it doesn't count for anything here. I do acknowledge that MW3 (and to an extent BF3) will bring in a huge amount of traffic and that "you can never have too many admins," but I am confident that the current team is fully capable of performing its job when the time comes (we can always use lockdowns if necessary). I like you Sam and there will be a time when you become an admin, but with your current experience it won't be now.  19:27, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mhm... Sam's also an admin at Fallout Wiki btw, so he'd be coming in with experiance. 19:42, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Having admin on another wiki shouldn't be used as a main argument for supporting an RfA. It does bring experience, but it he can't be trusted with them (not saying Sam can't - I think he is one of the most mature users here) he shouldn't be given them here. User:Bibliomaniac15 is a crat on Wikipedia, and is he an admin/crat here? No. 19:51, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Not yet I think it's best to see some participation in community discussion first. Besides that, Crazy Sam is a very friendly and amiable person, and does have a knack at moderating the chat with the utmost efficiency. It's just that I'd like to see more participation with the website than just chat. 19:29, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Cod4. 19:33, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I completely agree with Callofduty4. Crazy Sam is one of the more mature users here while not having so many edits. With a little more involvement in the forums and some mainspace work, I think he would be qualified. Shotrocket6 19:32, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Not yet I agree with COD4 and Shot on this, Sam is in my opinion one of the most friendly people on the wiki and has alot of experience with vandals, image licesing, chat moderating, and so on, but I think that he needs to pick up his editcount and overall involvement outside the chatroom. He is well deserving of the job, BUT, not at this time. 19:39, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
