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.

CodExpert
Hello, I am CodExpert, most of you may know me and some of you may not. I am here today to nominate myself for Adminstrative rights. 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 on the wiki. 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. 16:29, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - You are the only user that deserves Adminship right now CE. Your on late to protect against late-night vandals and you have perfect behaviour. Nice job.Slowrider7 16:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support- 7000+ edits is a lot. I always see you on the activity feed dealing with trolls and vandals. You definitely deserve to become an admin.

Support - Your dedication to the wiki is outstanding. You would really benefit the wiki with admin tools. 16:47, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - The 7,000 edits you have, added with the great integrity you uphold yourself with and the outstanding maturity = one of the most qualified requests I've ever seen. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 17:02, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per JJR, plus the fact that you are a friendly user would be an added benefit to you being an admin. - 17:06, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per COD4. Doc.  Richtofen  17:09, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - User has been a great anti-vandal and reverting dumb edits. He single-handingly saved the real life articles from deletion. He used to be a blog shitposter but he's really cleaned up his act. Has a perfect behavior record. Darkman 4 17:25, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all, he demonstrates maturity and friendlyness towards all users he encounters.  Talk 18:06, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. The Z(Talk) 18:10, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He is a great user whohas a great deal of maturity. Maj.Gage Talk. 18:15, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Darkman and CoD4 Blinzy45 18:47, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all.19:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - CodExpert is a mature, responsible user, and I have no doubt in my mind that he would be a great admin. 19:55, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per everyone.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 19:57, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Thanks a lot for your votes, guys. It means a lot. 20:47, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - CodExpert is a great contributor to this community. Not only that, but he is mature and nice. I think that CodExpert could only help this place out even more with admin tools. He is a fitting administrator, and I hope to see him on the list soon. This is SkullRod, out. 02:01, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Imrlybord7 05:40, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - You have been a great help to the mainspace and other users, and I honestly think you deserve an administrative position. 🇨🇩

Neutral - You're a great guy, but it is undeniable that this recent business with TheManOfIron has involved more than myself. However you are a magnificent editor and one of our best contributors. TimSim (talk) 10:05, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - CodExpert has become a cordial member of the community and engages in discussion in a mature manner. He has also been doing an exceptional job at anti-vandal work, and would benefit from administrative powers in this way. Although I am slightly concerned about the flame bait incident that happened a few weeks back, CodExpert admitted that he was at fault, and that takes integrity. With commitment to the wiki, and a very much active user, CodExpert is certainly qualified for receiving an upgrade in user rights. 13:27, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Support - he realizes that improving the wiki does not mean making the mainspace better necessarily, but requires examining flaws in the very core of the "system" (the policies) and actually tries to proactively improve the way the wiki runs. TimSim (talk) 22:07, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Expierienced, helpful, friendly, would make a model admin. Sgt.Maj. Delta  4-7 22:11, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

WHISKEY35
To all concerned, I do hereby submit for your approval, a Request for Administrator status. I know that I am fairly new to the Wiki but I know that I can, and have been an asset to the Wiki. I have been active on the Wiki ever since I joined on 27 March 2010. I came here looking for info on Titles and Emblems and stayed on because I saw the need to better those pages. I have found that this wiki is in constant need of attention due to the vandalism that occurs here daily. I have made well over 6000 edits, equaling over 400 to files needing licensing, over 3500 welcoming New Users, numerous reverts made by vandals, numerous categorizing to pages in need. I have also helped lot of new users with questions. If I don't know the answer then I will direct them to someone who can help them. I am also active in the War Room Discusions. Some may say that all I do mostly is welcome New Users. While that maybe true, I believe that it is very important for letting the 'New" user know what the policies of the Wiki are and also to let them know help is available if they need it. Also they can check my edit counts and see that welcoming is not all I do in the Wiki. I am not merely interested in welcoming but the overall maintaining if the Wiki. I am usually on the Wiki all the time and live in a time zone that permits me to be on when most admins are sleeping or away. Therefore, if I had the tools available to me I could take immediate and appropriate action to stop vandalization of our Wiki. I believe I have demonstrated a mature and professional attitude while here on the Wiki and have made numerous friends while here. I do thank the Admins and Users that have helped me along the way and I will be here for a long time to come. Your kind consideration in a positive approval would be greatly appreciated and I promise to do my best in my administration of this wiki. Sincerely yours,  Talk  17:48, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Outstanding, mature, and friendly user, greatly deserves administrative rights. 17:50, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Great, mature, nice. I agree with CodExpert. 17:54, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CodExpert. The Z(Talk) 18:08, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CodExpert -  18:11, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He is a very mature user and has welcomed SEVERAL user to this wiki, which means he has great skills with other people. I believe he has what it takes. Maj.Gage Talk. 18:09, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CE. Doc.  Richtofen  18:26, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CodExpert. 19:55, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per everyone.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 20:00, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Sactage --

Neutral, leaning towards support - I dont know you enough to support you, but the paragraph you posted seems pretty promising. Slowrider7 22:26, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support Damn good user that is dedicated to the wiki. He fixed the licensing for the images that didn't have one last month, so he's definatly dedicated. Has a perfect behavior record. 00:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Imrlybord7 05:40, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - You really deserve administrative privileges because of your amicable behavior, your desire to help others, and your combat against vandalism. 🇨🇩

Neutral, Practically Support - I regret having to vote a neutral, but as with CE, I'm not the only one who's had harsh words with or about TMOI. I am proud to say though, that if I had to choose one new user out of all to become a sysop, it would be you, you're a great guy and an absolutely WHiskey (hell I had to come up with a new adjective!!!!) editor. TimSim (talk) 10:13, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Support - He's done too much for this wiki not to deserve this. TimSim (talk) 10:57, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Definitely someone who has the patience and willingness to undertake admin duties actively. Has shown a definite commitment to many aspects of the wiki. --Scottie theNerd 16:23, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - WHISKEY35 is a great contributor and has done a lot for this wiki, but he has lashed out at others for some little things and I'm not sure if he handles everything in the correct manor. Per this. (That was in response to this.)  16:36, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Oppose - Per my earlier comment. 16:50, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - WHISKEY35 certainly has the determination to help the wiki as well as high activity, but typing in all caps on numerous occasions is not a great style of behavior to have as an administrator. He can get his point across without "screaming" at the people he's talking with, and it is especially best for him not to feed the the trolls. 20:41, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Point well taken Bovell and I will remember that in the future. Blinzy45 and I are friends and there is no animosity between us. And I wont be doing any more "screaming" in the future. Thanks for the critique as it only helps me to grow into a finer, more mature user!  Talk 20:57, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Cpl. Dunn
Hi everyone, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Cpl. Dunn. I am here to nominate myself for adminship. I have tried to be a very helpful user, making userboxes for usergroups and making signatures for people. I have made edits, and about 2650 of those are mainspace edits. I have welcomed lots of new users, and made my own welcome templates with lots of useful information for them on them. I have no record of vandalism, save for a small message when I first started editing on Wikia. I have reverted a lot of vandalism and reported it to admins, to get it dealt with. I have always tried to be a mature and responsible user, and I assure you, if I get the admin tools, I will use them responsibly. Thanks for your time.

Support - With his editcount, that just shows the time he put in to make this wiki better. He's a great guy, and deserves Administrative rights. 19:54, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CodExpert.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 19:59, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Cpl. Dunn is a great editor. He is nice and mature. Also, I agree with CE. 20:02, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Dunn has consistantly proven to be an asset to the wiki any time he is online. I have the firm belief that he would be a great Admin. He demonstrates maturity and friendliness towards others at all times and helps out new users when asked. His Contributions to the wiki prove that he is a dedicated user and deserves the position of Admin  Talk  20:05, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

GODLY SUPPORT A great user and friend T  C  E   B 21:07, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Well liked and no issues. Has helped here and there and is currently working on our Topright project. I'd say he's dedicated enough to be an admin. Darkman 4 00:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I was somewhat reluctant to cast this vote because Dunn doesn't really stand out in any particular way, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that he can be trusted with administrative privileges. He is always civil and has demonstrated an immense dedication to the wiki. Imrlybord7 05:39, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - you've done enormous amounts for this wiki but I don't see how administrator flags would be necessary for your work. You have done a great amount for this wiki and are a great guy, you should receive every medal we have. TimSim (talk) 10:18, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Between the amount of time he dedicates to the wiki and his exceptional attitude, I think that giving Dunn the ability to delete pages, block users and IPs, and protect pages (+ a few other things) will benefit the wiki. Imrlybord7 13:15, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Change to neutral - As of now I'm only supporting one user for admin, all other of my votes will remain neutral, as I only see the need for a new admin that is on when few others are, as a sort of "watchman" if you will, and my vote is cast for him. TimSim (talk) 13:18, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CodExpert. The Z(Talk) 14:43, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Cpl. Dunn is a very hard working editor and he has done a lot for this community. I believe that with admin tools, Dunn could only help the place out more. He's dedicated, mature and knows how to deal with stuff correctly. 20:27, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Whiskey. Doc.  Richtofen  20:50, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Dunn deserves adminship a lot. Great editor, mature user and a great friend. 21:01, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all Sgt.Maj. Delta <font size="3" color="DarkGoldenrod"> 4-7 22:12, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Dunn, you are a great editor with dedication to both the mainspace and other users. I frequently see your vandal reports, and with sysop privileges you will be an even better user. 🇨🇩

Chief z
Hi, I am Chief z. I joined this wiki a little over a year ago and have been an active editor ever since. I've held off on going up for adminship until I've felt I knew and understood this wiki enough to make decisions that would help the site grow. I actively patrol for vandals, get involved with community discussions as much as I can, and constantly go through the existing articles looking for ways to improve them. I am well-mannered, friendly, and have a pretty good sense of humor. I try to help users as much as possible, or if there is a problem bring it to their attention. I promise you I won't abuse my powers, but use them to make this great wiki even better. Chief z 06:45, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - A good user with potential for adminship in the future, but it is way too early amigo. Imrlybord7 08:20, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I rarely see you active. TimSim (talk) 10:19, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see you editing very much, and it's too early for you to post one of these. 11:07, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Too early? I've been on this wiki for over a year, and there are admins that I've been here longer than. As for active editing, sure I'm not filling up the Recent Changes, but I make my edits count. I single-handedly reorganized Soap's and Foley's bio, as both were just one large paragraph. I intend to do that with the other character articles. Chief z 11:52, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Too early for you. Restructuring a few character bios does not make you worthy of adminship. Imrlybord7 13:09, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see a lot of involvement in the big community discussions that are directly concerned with community issues. While I acknowledge the quality of your edits, I don't feel the confidence I expect in someone willing to take on admin duties. --Scottie theNerd 16:21, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - You haven't really been editing here much. I haven't seen a lot of involvement in community discussion in the War Room, so, per Scottie. 17:28, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per all. Doc.  Richtofen  20:53, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

CoD addict
CoD addict is the first of hopefully three users that I will be nominating for adminship. Before I discuss him specifically, I would just like to say that I am nominating these users because not only do I feel that they would make good administrators, but I feel that they would make better administrators than any other users with open RFAs. That is a compliment to them, not an insult to other users. Now let's get on topic.

CoD addict is an extremely dedicated editor with a focus on the mainspace. His edits are always of the utmost quality and he never leaves a job half-done. However, he also exhibits a satisfactory level of community involvement, during which he always presents himself as kind, polite, professional, and intelligent. I believe that he has done more than enough to prove that he will make an excellent administrator. And addict, if there is anything you would like to add to this please feel free to do so. Imrlybord7 08:29, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. Imrlybord7 08:29, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Support - Per the nomination, I just have to look at your contributions and history a bit more before I make this a support. TimSim (talk) 10:21, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per nomination. 11:07, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Judging by your contribs you are intelligent and a good editor. You appear to be extremely dedicated. From what I've seen from his contribs that were in War Room topics, he does seem very intelligent, polite, mature, and proffesional. Well, all in all, per nomination. 17:26, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Bord. Doc.  Richtofen  20:56, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Cpl. Wilding(3)
I know that I don't have nearly as many edits as other users on here. I know that not everybody knows me. What I do know is that judging from my past two RfAs, some of our admins trust me already, some (Callofduty4) have worked with me on other wikis and know that I can be trusted with admin powers. The only things I can offer to prove my worth are the fact that I run my own Wiki (Task Force 589 Wiki) which I have created a personality I feel is completely different from any other Wiki out there. The second I can bring is out of my 1,000+ edits, 1,013 of them are mainspace. Thank you for your time, mi amigos. Cpl. Wilding 14:27, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Seeing as how you dont have many edits, and you dont have much knowledge about templates because I had to fix the format of this, I dont think your ready.

Oppose - Too many of the above will be given, we actually will have enough admins, and honestly I rarely see you about.

Oppose - Haven't seen much activity from you in major community discussions. I don't really care much about your other wikis or your 1000+ edits; what we need are more willing admins who have the patience and consistency to deal with wiki issues. --Scottie theNerd 16:13, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Have not participated in major community discussions and haven't got many edits. I don't think you're fit for adminship yet. 16:27, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I haven't seen you active here enough, I haven't seen you partake in any major community discussions, edits don't matter as it is 'quality over quantity' (I do still appreciate the mainspace editing though), Running your own wiki doesn't really matter over on this one. Sorry, you just don't seem to be that ready for administrative rights yet. 17:23, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - A very seniored user who has proven time and time again that he can be trusted. People might say that making you an admin won't do much if you don't become more active; that's fine. I know that whenever you are here you act just as an admin should and feel that we would be remiss not to grant you these privileges. Imrlybord7 19:45, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I haven't seen you active in a while. 19:55, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Bord. Doc.  Richtofen  20:58, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Raven's wing
A long time sleeper pick of mine for future adminship, Raven's wing doesn't have a particularly high edit count, nor has he contributed vastly to the wiki. However, in his ~1800 edits, he has simply never made a mistake. From mainspace edits to blog comments to war room discussions, he never fails to impress me with his intelligence, professionalism, and civility. The only misgiving I have about him is something of a lack of self confidence, but that has to be one of the smallest gripes I have ever had about an administrative candidate. Although I don't expect many people to agree, I beseech you to look through his contributions thoroughly before casting your vote. And wing, if there is anything you would like to add to this please feel free to do so. Imrlybord7 19:53, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - as nominator. Imrlybord7 19:53, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per nomination. 19:55, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. 20:00, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Imrlybord7. Doc.  Richtofen  20:59, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ukimies
Although Ukimies hasen't been active in a while, he has been involved in community discussions and nearly has 3000 edits. He never fails anyone and has a theory for anything. Imrlybord was going to nominate him for adminship but it looks I've beaten him to it. He is kind, mature and nice to any user and has welcomed enough new users. I think he deserves adminship now.20:10, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. 20:10, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. <font style="background:red">  Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

Comment - Ukimies hasn't been active because he's on vacation.

AdvancedRookie
I nominate myself for the role of Adminship. I have been at this wiki since August 2009 and managed to get around 3,100 edits. While my edit count may not compare to others, what I have is experience and I seem to get along well with other users. I think I will serve the wiki well as an admin as I will be able to do late night shifts and I am very active. Over the years I have found Call of Duty Wiki to become a great place filled with great people. The wiki has taught me so much and I would be honoured to be an admin on it and serve it well. This is AdvancedRookie, reporting for duty.AdvancedRookie 22:08, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Cod1
I nominate myself for the role of Adminship. I have been at this wiki since January 2009 and managed to get around 2,600 edits. While my edit count may not compare to others, what I have is experience. I'm a very nice and mature user who treats all users with respect. I will protect pages and ban vandals if needed. So please vote me for Adminship, I'll get the job done! So everyone what do you think? 22:11, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
