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 few hundred 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.

Cod1
I hereby nominate myself for adminship. I've done a lot for this wiki, and feel that I would be a great admin. My edit count is 982 edits so far, and I've helped report vandalism too. One of my new "projects" is welcoming new users, which I've done a lot. I also made a lot of the DS pages, sometimes I have to do the entire article by myself! I promise to be cool and considerate in my decisions, and to always help new users. Federated said he won't be coming back, so I thought it would be great to have a new admin around here. I've bin a member of this wiki since January 31st, 2009. Please vote me for adminship.

Strong Support - as nominator.

First of all, you can't support yourself in an RFA. Secondly, we have to many admins as is. More will just add to the chaos. I vote oppose-- 03:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

support - cod1 is a great user, I think he would be a great admin. ERyan 3:23, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Vote invalidated because the user does not have an account. Darkman 4 03:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - While Cod1 is helpful, I don't think he has enough experience to become an admin yet. Besides, as Bigm said, we have enough admins as is. Darkman 4 03:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Neutral Not sure if I can vote here, but anyhow, I can't say yes or no. I have to disagree with BigM on that one, We only have 4 truly active admins at the moment, and we have one less now that Federated is gone. Once again, strike my vote out if I can't vote here because I'm not an admin, I understand.
 * Changed to Support. It think Cod1 could make a great admin. I say we give him admin powers and see what he can do. If he can't do it properly, we remove them. Easy. He has made some great contributions and has nearly 1000 edits. There is a possibility I could change back to neutral
 * Changed back to Neutral. While he is a great contributor, I can't decide.
 * That's not generally how sysopping someone would work. Either we give them the powers, or we don't. Removing someone's administrative powers would only happen if they either request it, or abuse the powers. As such, we should only sysop someone if we have confidence that they're ready for it at that moment. 23:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: Not yet. Per BigM. 00:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Not yet - While I think you have potential, I don't think you're ready at the moment. Looking at your block log, you appear to have impersonated another user just a bit over a month ago. By the look of what Darkman entered in, you were trying to manipulate a vote for something. What exactly happened? 23:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Nomination closed; RfA is unsuccessful. 20:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Wtfwikier
I would like to nominate myself to be an admin because ive impoved a lot at this wiki and i could help a lot more people.


 * Rofl, no-- 00:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Nomination closed - user is clueless.-- 00:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

lmfao BigM, that was quick and easy! Callofduty4
 * That's what she said. 00:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Staff Sergeant Jack Jackson
I'd like to be an admin to help around and all please let me be an Admin i always wanted to be an Admin of something and well i'll like to help around i want do anything stupid. I'll like to be admin because i'll like also put a stop to these fan fiction, fake reality careers like Master190 and I'm not a SSgt that was only so i can find out the truth on Master190 the big fake. So i'll like to nominate myself i'll improve and make pages when needed on this page.Staff Sergeant Jack Jackson 08:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - User has been blocked before, has no where enough edits and besides, Master190 can be easily taken care of. Maybe some other time. Admins are users who are very experienced with this wiki, and yes, edit count does correspond to experience. If you keep on editing, some day you could become an admin. Just not now.

Closed - are you fucking kidding me? You've been blocked in the past. Infact, I don't know why the hell your not still blocked-- 12:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC) -Please try to respect other users when they try to gain a status by not cursing at them or insulting them.- Bignicky9

Callofduty4
Hi there. As you may remember, I put in a request when I had ~500 edits. I now have over 1500. I believe myself to have become a lot more experienced with this wiki, and maybe experienced enough for administrative tasks. However, that is your decision. I know I have had a recent block, but I promise that I have learnt from my mistakes. I feel I could help this wiki out a lot with administrative tools. So, please have your say. Write what you may. Thanks a lot. --Cpl. Callofduty4 17:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Support - I have come to see that Callofduty4 is a very notable and worthy contributor. Whenever I don't get to welcome a user, he always does. Whenever a professional input is needed on an extensive and stalemate matter, he always brings his intellect into play. It's true he had a block, but it was only in the process of going up against a vandal, so it is something that I believe the other admins should be looking forward to instead. He has a vast amount of edits, plenty of which are mainspace, and he does an overall excellent job and gives 110% in his contributions to this wiki. If granted the abilities of an administrator, I think he will be professional in most every situation. I think that by now, he is more than deserving of being a Sysop (or a bureaucrat, whichever you see fit). 22:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - user has been blocked previously and has been warned by an admin after his block. I have also seen minor personal attacks.Plus, we do not need more admins. This wiki is small enough that 2 crats and an admin can handle things. We also have other admins that pop in occasionally and do some work. -- 10:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Neutral While you are a good contributor, we have enough admins. If there becomes a huge flood of spamming when Cod 6 comes out, I'll support. Didn't someone say you can't nominate yourself, anyways? Maybe that was Creepydude. 02:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment That's only for user of the month. Cpl. Callofduty4 08:12, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - As stated above, user as been blocked before because of his behavior towards others. I don't feel comfortable giving someone with such a bad temper blocking rights, no matter how many times he says he's reformed. The last thing we need is an admin that goes on an occasional meltdown, complete with ALL CAPS and bold font.

Besides, we have enough admins as-is. I deal with vandals, BigM deals with image licenses, and Joeyaa helps with the technical parts of the wiki. That's enough admins to me, considering how many edits this wiki gets per day. Darkman 4 16:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I like Callofduty4, but he doesn't deserve or need to be an admin. And not to be a dick, but I am more deserving of adminship, and even I realize that we don't need more admins at the moment. Sorry dude. Imrlybord7 06:28, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

No one deserves adminship, all it does is give you an extra set of tools for antivandalism work. Just because someone is an admin they should not have more say than a non admin per COD:AEAE-- 19:45, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, gotta love that communism. 06:24, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Listen to Master Bigm, without harassing you with all my points it's simply no. We have no issues to have another admin and we're pretty good. Plus, I don't trust you... 06:24, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Support - I feel that CallofDuty4 has made a good amount of edits over the past few months, respecting some players every now and then. Although he has a few offenses against him, he still wants a status where he MUST RESPECT OTHERS, and in return he WILL help and respect THEM. He feels that he has learned his lessons, and is ready to take it a step higher. CallofDuty4 simply feels that he can aid more users and articles as an administrator, and so do I.

Comment Thank you very much Bignicky. Just so you people understand a bit better, I have learnt my lessons, because if I didn't, I would act like the low-life I was before. I don't want any more control over others. I understand that being an Admin does not give you a larger say over others. All it does is give you access to tools which can potentially make a large difference to the wiki. I feel I can use those tools for good. So, thanks to all the users (so far) who have voted.

Neutral - Wow has this wiki moved on without me... I'm glad to see that you have been very dedicated to your cause since I nominated you for UTOM a long time ago. I have to vote neutral because of your poor judgment errors since you have been editing here. It is extremely rare for a user who has gotten banned once to become an admin on the same wiki. It's not that have anything against you but it will take a long time for you to earn the respect you lost back. Just keep doing what you are doing, show your maturity, and eventually you will reach your goal. =) Uh, and are you kidding me, too many admins. If there was another Chia or BigM I doubt you guys would say No, we have enough admins. 22:16, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Closed I don't think you guys understand how much I could potentially help the wiki. Oh well, 3rd time lucky. Thanks guys for voting.
