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 this set of requirements:
 * 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.

There is a discussion about administrator requirements feel free to contribute your thoughts.

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 subsection lists most vote types.
 * Support - A positive vote.
 * Strong Support - A very positive vote.
 * Weak Support - A positive vote, but the voter has not ruled out oppose.
 * 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.
 * Pending - Vote not yet decided; essentially the same as neutral.
 * Oppose - A negative vote.
 * Strong Oppose - A very negative vote.
 * Weak Oppose - A negative vote, but the voter has not ruled out support.
 * 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.
 * Comment - A comment.
 * : - a comment made in response to another comment can simply be indented.
 * 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.

On the grounds that tonight was complete bull, 5 Contingency Requests For Adminship
Ladies and Gentlemen, We 5 have come to a conclusion that there are not enough late-night Admins. I know one of you will argue that 18 admins is enough, but what good is it when half of them are inactive, and the other half aren't online Late-Night? Last night, a hacker came online and started vandalizing to no end. We had to call Staff for the problem to be fixed, and even then we aren't 100 percent sure. I present to you, 5 fresh off the press Requests For Adminship, 5 Men than can guarantee they will be on through the darkest hours of the night to oversee all recent changes and ban vandals if they are ever-present. Here are the Nominees :

I would like to add, nearly an hour of straight vandalism, including block evasion, and much spam by the person behind Callofdutycleaner, it took us that time to find a solution to this, a staff member finally, I sadly say, even VSTF provided no aid.

WHISKEY35. Now there is a man I would trust. He came to our wiki on 28 March 2010, and in that time, managed to amass over 6,390 edits, 409 of them mainspace.

He Participated in the Overhaul project to a great extent, shows excellent maturity, Welcomes New Users, participates in War Room topics, and reverts cases of vandalism whenever seen. I give my strongest support to WHISKEY35, a great user, and a greater admin.

Strong Support - As Nominator --

Support - He is a great help to the wiki and would be a huge help as an administrator. The Z(Talk) 13:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Supprot - Per the Nomination. Whiskey is a well respected user, and for the right reasons. He would make an excellent admin. -  13:13, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - We do this together, Whiskey is mature and has contributed so greatly to this wiki at all times of the day, we could use him. TimSim (talk)

I am Mau5killer. I came to this wiki officially on December 26, 2009, looking for some callsign Titles and Emblems. I quickly made an account to get rid of those annoying advertisements, But I found a massive community of users. I quickly started editing, and in that time I have made 1,175 edits, 180 of them main space. I am creating these 5 RfAs after a massive incident that happened last night involving a hacker, of which we had to go to Wikia Staff directly because there were no admins online to help us. 18 admins is not enough when half of them are inactive and the other half don't monitor the wikia late-night hours. If we 5 users have to go past an order issued by admins, then we plead COD:IAR. Vandals hit this wikia when the community is asleep. Sadly, that includes Admins. If we get banned, so be it, we stand as brothers against vandals on the late night hours. --

Weak Support - I'm not sure how he would deal with being an admin but I have faith in him. The Z(Talk) 13:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - We do this together, Mau is levelheaded and genuinely does his best for this wiki. TimSim (talk) 13:18, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Mau is online at times when there are little registered users active. He would be very effective in blocking vandals - 13:17, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes, Darthkenobi0. Here is his RfA he kindly typed up by himself

"Most of you know me as Darth or Kenobi. Here on the Call of Duty Wiki, while I do have many social edits, I also edit the mainspace often, making more extensive edits than most (especially overhauls). Beyond that, you can see for yourselves that I help out the wiki as much as I can. I feel that I could use sysop tools to more effectively and expediently deal with vandals, troll, or potential incidents. I have experience with wiki markup and am able to use most commands and am able to help users identify any problems they are having. I run a wiki myself, so have experience with the basic infrastructure of a wiki. I am quite involved in the War Room, and helped draft the User of the Month vote's new format, and have been very active in the discussion about Administrator requirements and the new medal system.  I'm usually quite amiable (so I've been told) and am rarely rude. I have a fairly good reputation on the wiki, have reverted a large amount of vandalism, helped in the Overhaul Project, and welcomed many new users. Honestly, I feel that I could use these tools responsibly and effectively, thank you for your time. Darthkenobi0(Talk)" -- I put down that was included in this plan. TimSim (talk) 13:08, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

With 6,910 edits and counting, I strongly support Darthkenobi being appointed towards admin.

Strong Support- As Nominator --

Support - Per nomination. Great user. The Z(Talk) 13:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support- Darth, I have immense faith that you are ready. You are definently experienced and a veteran of this CoDWiki - it's your time for adminship. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez  Reportin' for duty. 13:20, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong support - Couldn't have put what JJR said any better. - 13:21, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Cpl. Dunn. Now there is a person who has been helpful to every possible extent. Rather than just do a long winded speech, let me just point out his well-deserved achievements.

 * Reported much vandalism.
 * Founder of BARLs.
 * Senior member of RCP&NUW.
 * Proud member of The ATEFI.

Thats 1 heck of a guy. In Full support does he deserve to be a sysop.

Strong Support - As nominator --

 Support from me. The Z(Talk) 13:10, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - We do this together, Dunn is a great contributor to this wiki. TimSim (talk) 13:18, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support - The only problem I've got? If there can only be one admin, I don't know who to choose from between Darth, Dunn and Expert :s But you're a great editor and a great and friendly user. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez  Reportin' for duty. 13:20, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thankfully, CodExpert has provided his own RfA as well as Darthkenobi0

''"Hello, I am CodExpert, most of you may know me and some of you may not. I am here today to nominate myself for Adminship. I feel I have made some good contributions and have helped users. I have done my best to participate in forums and be as active as I can, by reverting vandalism, undoing bad edits, and spellchecking articles. I have accumulated 7,006 I am a very active user, being on this wiki for several hours almost every day editing articles, reverting vandalism, helping users, and trying to do my best on the wiki to make it better. I have been well-mannered and friendly to other users and I have done my best to work up from that and improve this wiki. I am trying to improve this wiki the best I can and I see no possible way of ending that in the future. I promise that if I do pass I will never abuse my powers and I will treat users fairly unless they have done damage to the wiki and/or it's users, I believe that if I get Sysop powers I will deal with trolls and other vandals more effectively, I will assist wikians in need of help and help them to contribute to the wiki and not vandalize if they have done so in the past. I will say my opinion and stand by it unless the facts prove me wrong. Thank you all for your time. --CodExpert 00:05, June 4, 2010 (UTC)"''

One Hell of a guy.
