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.

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)

Change to Oppose - I see only one candidate that I believe will fulfill the responsibilities of an admin completely.
 * That was a statement not of comparison, but more of that I've only seen one candidate so far that I think is right for the position, sadly he is not you. I am by no means favoring one user and opposing all others.
 * I haven't seen you edit much and I don't really see how you'll benefit the wiki any greater as an admin than as a normal contributor. I also rarely see you working on reviewing the wiki's policy in such a way that aims to improve the wiki.

Oppose - I feel there are better candidates. CoD Addict is a great editor, but there are better candidates who I feel will do the job better. 21:03, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per COD4. 07:35, July 8, 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 feel is good quality, in both articles and general layout. 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)

Comment - I realize I couldn't get the templates to work. That's mainly because I haven't worked with templates for a while in general, plus I haven't used said templates before, so... Anyway, yes, I know I haven't been active lately. I've been busy in RL and had a couple minutes to type this out and I was making quick changes in a hurry. I can also say that I haven't contributed to War Room discussions because, to be frank, what I want to say gets said before I get in, usually in better words than I could've put it in, so my opinion is basically useless. Cpl. Wilding 02:41, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - That's not the kind of opinion to go in with. Every vote counts even if the same sentiments have already been expressed, and it helps reaffirm the consensus when people agree. Besides, I think you are probably a bit more eloquent than a decent amount of our userbase. Although I didn't like that comment of yours, I will not withdraw my support because I feel that you would quickly rise to the task if you were given adminship. Imrlybord7 02:47, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're right, Bord. I was a bit stressed when I wrote that, plus it was late, and...bah, I'm not even going to try to make an excuse. All I can say is whatever happens, happens. Cpl. Wilding 14:36, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Dunn. Sgt. Bravo  Rider 12:21, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see you active at all, lately.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - The only thing I will say to those who oppose: Look though my edits, and disregard my activity level. Nobody can edit every single day. My policy is "quality over quantity" and I feel the quality of my edits overshadows the quantity of my edits. This doesn't mean that I think my edits are higher quality than current admins or other users who have RfAs: quite the opposite. I only ask that you think over what you have voted. Danke. Cpl. Wilding 19:14, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Bord. Not the most active user, but a trustworthy and mature one. Sgt.Maj. Delta  4-7 06:44, July 1, 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)

Oppose - Hes a somewhat snob, especially in blogs. Slowrider7 23:31, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Imrlybord7 Jeffnickers 18:18, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Slowrider has a point, but Raven's wing is a helpful user. So I am neutral. Sgt. Bravo  Rider 12:21, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I see better candidates. TimSim (talk) 13:42, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per all. 07:20, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Oppose - I, for one, see better candidates, and, as the second, I don't see you active, apart from blogs.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose I've never heard of him. He should be more active. User didn't sign. 20:02, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination, I haven't see Raven much, but from what I've seen he's right for the job. Smuff 21:16, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Oppose - I see only one candidate that I believe will fulfill the responsibilities of an admin completely.
 * That was a statement not of comparison, but more of that I've only seen one candidate so far that I think is right for the position, sadly he is not you. I am by no means favoring one user and opposing all others.
 * I also don't see many contributions from you, what will you do as an administrator that you can't do as is?

Oppose - I think there are better candidates, and I'm not fond of making more than 3 new admins. Don't get me wrong though, Raven is a fine editor. 21:03, June 29, 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.   Lima Oscar Zulu Zulu Alpha

Comment - Ukimies hasn't been active because he's on vacation.
 * To receive adminship, a user has to accept their nomination or they will not receive their powers, no matter how many people support it so that if they don't want it they won't get it. If he's not able to post that he accepts this nomination it can't pass until he can. 20:06, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per nomination. 20:19, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination, more or less. Imrlybord7 20:23, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. 20:28, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. Doc.  Richtofen  21:02, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. 21:02, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I don't see a fit. TimSim (talk) 21:09, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Per Darth. Slowrider7 23:33, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Ukimies is a huge help to the wiki. 🇨🇩

Support - Per nomination. The Z(Talk) 22:29, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Mostly per nomination.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 11:50, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Per Darth. Sgt. Bravo  Rider 12:21, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per nomination and per all.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Oppose - I see only one candidate that I believe will fulfill the responsibilities of an admin completely.
 * That was a statement not of comparison, but more of that I've only seen one candidate so far that I think is right for the position, sadly he is not you. I am by no means favoring one user and opposing all others.
 * Users don't "deserve" adminship, and as with everyone else, I really don't see you doing much that is "adminly", and I don't foresee you doing much you can't do now.

Comment I accepted on Bord's talk page but I'll also do that here. I, Ukimies, formally accept the nomination of adminship. -- 08:34, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Cod addict. Shotrocket6 15:47, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet - Although Ukimies is a great contributor, I don't that he is fully ready for adminship. As darth said, I have not seen many "adminly" things done by Ukimies. I think that given more time, Ukimies will be ready for Adminship, but as of now, I don't think he is quite ready.

Not Yet/Oppose - Per SkullRod, in due time. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 18:07, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

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)

Oppose - nothing exceptional. TimSim (talk) 22:18, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Darthkenobi0. 22:21, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Your popular around here, but you never really did anything except edit and comment. Slowrider7 23:33, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Generally underwhelming war room comments. You need to work on better articulating your opinions and backing them up with more solid reasoning. That's really my only complaint. Imrlybord7 23:35, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Advanced Rookie has done a lot to this community, he's mature, has a good understanding of the place and how it runs, he also participates in community discussions. I think that he has the qualities of a true administrator. 03:17, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He knows what he's doing, and he's someone that I'd trust as an admin.

Support - Advance Rookie is a great editor and friend. He knows what he is doing and I agree with SkullRod. 20:37, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Bord, Slowrider and Darth. Sgt. Bravo  Rider 12:21, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Support - A well tempered guy that knows his way around the wiki, can take care of problems, and usually has a rational view on the subject. Shotrocket6 13:37, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - A nice guy but hasn't been active in community discussions though. 13:51, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Excepr from the usual blogging or 1-2 mainspace edits, I never saw you doing anything really exceptional.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I didn't do anything exceptional, yet I still became admin. Doc.  Richtofen  19:34, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - AdvancedRookie often fails to explain his opinions, and has a ridiculously high amount of blog edits compared to everything else. As a person, yes, as an editor, no. Smuff 21:11, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Candidates should be considered for their appropriateness overall; not just their editing. Prolific editors don't necessarily make good admins. --Scottie theNerd 04:20, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Cod1(6)
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)

 Oppose Pending - what sets you apart from the others that are filling this page with RFAs? TimSim (talk) 22:18, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - If all these other RfA's pass, we really won't need more admins.

Response - I've been here longer than all of these users, and I'm a great user.

Comment - I support CodExpert and WHISKEY35, I'll consider you and CoD Addict, depending, I really don't know enough about whether you two will actively influence policy and the actual operation of the Wiki to fit the sysop role. TimSim (talk) 22:28, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - CallofDuty4 thinks I would be a great admin. 22:34, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Yes, that is Callofduty4's opinion. Just because he feels that way doesn't mean everyone else does. 22:39, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I would support you but we have many RFA requests now! I'm supporting CodExpert, WHISKEY35, Darthkenobi0 and Cpl. Dunn at the moment. 11:28, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Too many RfAs, and I never see you around. --Slowrider7 23:30, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Your activity is too sporadic and you haven't done anything significant enough to make up for that. If you were to become consistently active I would most likely support you in the future. Imrlybord7 23:33, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Your edits area contructive and I believe you have what it takes. Maj.Gage Talk. 01:05, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Thanks Gage :)

Support - Although we already have a lot of requests for adminship, that does not mean that all of them will pass. We should only have 3 new administrators. I find that you are great editor and you spend your time here constructively. I feel that you have what it takes to wield the adminstrative tools and I believe that you are capable of wielding them correctly. 03:08, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Too many RfAs, if [at least] 3 of these pass, we won't really need anymore admins. 13:06, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * That isn't grounds for a negative vote. If we're down-voting because there are "too many" nominations, why not down-vote everyone...or, ironically, close the RfA page? --Scottie theNerd 13:16, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - As with last time, I'm not impressed by the number of your edits or the frequency of your activity. I'm not convinced that you would be an active admin. --Scottie theNerd 13:16, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - You are too impatient, not a very good trait for an admin. -- http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071012163228/callofduty/images/d/df/Smiley.gif Ghost Rider Talk 18:22, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Cod1 is a constructive and friendly user. I believe he will use the tools of the administrator wisely and help this wiki even more. Per Skullrod. 21:19, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - @Bravo Five-Nine: I've been waiting for an entire year, that's not impatient.

Support — Cod1 has contributed greatly to the wiki, especially on NDS related topics, which received little attention from the community. 22:22, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Pending - Per Darth. Sgt. Bravo  Rider 12:21, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I looked through your contributions and your edits are not very steady. Some days you will make a lot of edits but at other times you will only make a few. We need admins that will be consistent, especially with Black Ops and all the new info that will be coming out all through the summer. 13:47, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not really a valid point. One can frequently visit the wiki without making tons of edits every day. Good admins don't necessarily have to click the Save Page button x amount of times daily. --Scottie theNerd 17:54, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I haven't seen much activity from you. I haven't seen you participate in any major War Room activities. Maybe in the next RfA I would support you. --CodExpert 16:14, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - The fact you made that blog with swears in the question has shown that you obviously lack the maturity to do a job like this. Normally I don't have a problem with it, but putting them in the title like that is a different matter. Your editing is sporadic at best, and like Bord said, I haven't seen anything mindbogglingly spectacular recently. Smuff 17:49, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose I've seen nothing out of you for a long time until this. <font style="background:silver"> Poketape Talk  20:47, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Oppose - I see only one candidate that I believe will fulfill the responsibilities of an admin completely.
 * That was a statement not of comparison, but more of that I've only seen one candidate so far that I think is right for the position, sadly he is not you. I am by no means favoring one user and opposing all others.
 * I don't think you understand Adminship, and I don't think you're really anything exceptional or active enough, our edits are good but adminship is not about merit or popularity.

Neutral - I have no doubts about your ability (although sometimes you can be immature) - but your staggered activity is what worries me. Prove to me you will become active and I might support you. Giving admin tools to a user who then becomes inactive ( Icepacks ) is pointless. 21:03, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - I'll still maintain that Icepacks is the best user to have ever graced the wiki. I just wish he was actually here. Imrlybord7 20:40, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I never said Icepacks didn't deserve to be an admin, but I'm using him as a prime example of a user who gains admin privileges and then leaves us. 23:35, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - You can't use such a blanket statement as to say he was the best editor to grace the wiki if he left, that paragraph contradicted itself beautifully there. While he may have been a good editor, that means nothing when that user isn't avaliable to use that skill to begin with. Smuff 23:43, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Darthkenobi0
Most of you know me as Darth, Kenobi or Tim. 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, as well as being the author of several other drafts, and involved in the discussions involving voting on RFAs.

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.

Support -- as nominator -- <font style="background:darkolivegreen">  E ight  O h   E ight  18:54, June 28, 2010 (UTC) -- Posted as protest, now an official request.

Oppose - Per my vote in his last NfA. 19:03, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support Great user. <font style="background:silver"> Poketape Talk  20:47, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I'm not sure whether to be insulted that I'm part of Eight's ragequit from the wiki, or flattered...

Neutral - Would be a good late-night sysop, but I'm not really sure.

Oppose - While Darthkenobi0 may have been nominated by someone else this time, I believe the points made only three days ago still stand. tl;dr version: He needs to develop a consistent style of behavior, as conversations such as this are not acceptable. 01:12, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not disputing that my behavior was far from desirable, but I would like to point out the fact that I was baited, and received no block for my reactions (I bluntly stated to Imrlybord7, Chiafriend12, Callofduty4, and Doc.Richtofen that I would happily take a block if they deemed it necessary). And I do acknowledge the consistency argument, but as you might note, I am generally quite polite, and only react to an extreme against blatant trolls and/or flamers, every single of which has received blocks for baiting and trolling. Also, I feel I can calmly handle situations (as I did last night on Rampantlion's blog) in the future, as I have for the most part, in the past.

Oppose- Per Bovell<font color="#FF00FF">nlm gr  01:14, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate if you would explain your vote beyond "Per Bovell", while I respect his vote, would you please elaborate more upon your own? Thank you.

Support - He's a hoss, what more can i say? Jeffnickers 01:16, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Elaborate please.

Oppose- He shouldn't get adminship because of the fact that he can over hype some times as he did at User talk:TheManOfIron. if he wants adminship he needs to quit overhyping. Jeez he like my friend who plays Bball with my when its a close games. Wayyy to overhyped.  Rampantlion513  02:04, June 29, 2010 (UTC) Vote withdrawn  Rampantlion513  02:28, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Change to support-I have seen the good side of Darth and if he doesn't try to obbuse his power as an admin he would make a good admin.  Rampantlion513  02:36, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Definitely one of the few users who can make substantial claims to being qualified for adminship. However, attitude and manner is inconsistent and occasionally confrontational, as experienced in the past. While practical-minded and set to get things done, I'm concerned that his approach to his duties could be rash and unnecessarily personal, similar to how Imrlybord7 was. --Scottie theNerd 04:18, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I've noticed again that Darthkenobi0 has struck out all his votes on the RfAs for the same reason as last time: there is only "one" person who deserves the position. In my eyes, it's unthoughtful to oppose every candidate in favour of one instead of judging each nomination by their own worth. --Scottie theNerd 04:22, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually am not simply favoring that one user, it just happens that there is one I believe is capable of fully meeting the responsibilities of an admin, and that I don't feel those users are, my votes were, by no means, made in comparison against other candidates, simple coincidence and ease of copy and paste, if you would like me to put this onto every RFA I voted oppose on, I will happily do so, to explain.
 * Why not abstain from voting if you have nothing to say against that particular user? Your voting is practically protest voting,in that it provides no objective criticism or commentary but is opposed based on something they have no control over. --Scottie theNerd 04:37, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - This nomination was done as a joke and Darth just recently withdrew a nomination. /justsaying Imrlybord7 13:41, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sure most are aware, I replaced Ocho's joke nomination with my own formal request, as provided in the edit summary, a few friends said I should go for it for the feedback.

Support - I feel you would make a great admin. The reasons I stated when I nominated you previously have remained the same. While admittedly you can go overboard, it isn't a regular thing (though it would be better if it wasn't there at all, of course) and the good you do far outweighs the bad. You would do the wiki good. 21:03, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support - A great user, per CoD4 and the nomination. Doc.  Richtofen  21:11, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Darth is a great user and an activist in the wiki community. He has started and enacted the RCP & NUW user groups, which I am a part of. He proposes many changes in the War Room and that is more than I can say for the majority of the users in the community. He and I are almost always on late night, performing RCP ops and together have stopped many vandals. I know that if he gets his Admin flags he will think three times before acting on them. He knows the inner workings of the wiki and how get issues resolved. While he can be rash at times, I know that if he gets his Admin flags, his behavior will change. <font color="Green"> Talk 21:37, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral leaning toward Support - Darth is obviously a great user who has done a lot for the wiki in not much time at all, but I am still weary of his temper and condescension. However, his reaction to the last RFA and subsequent behavior has bolstered my confidence in him. I do not, however, expect to change this vote during this RFA, but if this one does not pass I will almost definitely offer a supporting vote on the next one, provided it is not posted really really frickin' soon. Imrlybord7 00:03, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I just wanted to express my thanks for the great feedback and faith. I also wanted to say that I was toying with the idea before of simply posting my RFA on the last NfA, to express what I think are my good points, but had decided not to, however after EightOhEight's protest postings, I decided to take this opportunity to get feedback from the community to see what I have to improve upon. Once again, thanks to everyone for all the faith (especially from Bovell, who has shown faith in my future candidacy) it means a lot.

Strong Support - Per my last RfA support for him. Darth is an excellent user who always tries hard to impress. His edits are untouchable and amazing. His editcount is very high and he's just behind CodExpert. He only arrived in January 2010 and look what's happened with him over the past five months, awesomeness. Per all too. 07:15, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Darth does what he can for the wiki and its community, he's frequently on IRC, and on the wiki at irregular times. He works hard and is a mature, friendly user who knows his stuff. He'd make a great admin given the fact that he is aware of vandals and how to deal with them, and due to his activity at times when small numbers of users are active, he'd be able to block vandals instead of having to wait till an admin appears. His edits are also very constructive and he has done a lot of work redoing whole pages which were previously in bad condition. -  09:00, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I usually have great confidence in the reliability I can find in Darth, but it is when he acts out and calls others "stupid shithead"s, makes bestiality insults, and is generally rude that I don't think such behavior would be acceptable for an administrator. 20:06, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know this won't be that much better, but it wasn't a bestiality insult. It was just pretty much an insult in general. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez  Reportin' for duty. 23:43, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it warrants pointing out that Chia actually felt strongly enough to vote. Anyone with the ability to notice trends will hopefully see the significance there. Imrlybord7 04:26, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - You opposed the other RfAs because you say you see "one cadidate fully capable of meeting the responsibilities of an admin" and you submit one yourself? That kinda defeats the purpose of why you opposed. 23:17, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really... I was saying that I only saw one person who I had faith could fully carry out the duties of an admin, which doesn't contradict my own RFA in any way, it simply means that I think I could do the job well enough, so now it would be two, instead of one. Darthkenobi0 ^ (talk)  23:23, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I think I could do. And as Scottie said, it sounds like your to "oppose every candidate in favour of one instead of judging each nomination by their own worth" and that it "provdes no objective critism based on somehting they have no control over". 23:26, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Ex, that was 808 who nominated him, not himself. Smuff 23:20, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ocho submitted it as a protest, Darth made it into an actual RfA. 23:21, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Your lack of self control and tendency to react personally to certain situations highlights the fact that you are not to be trusted with administrative powers. 🇨🇩


 * They aren't powers, they're tools.  Darthkenobi0 ^ (talk) 05:00, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * powerful tools = powers 🇨🇩
 * Just for a cheesy example, Batman has powerful tools, but he doesn't have powers. Powerful tools don't always equal powers. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez  Reportin' for duty. 23:43, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to use that cheesy example properly (i.e. in a way that is completely contrary to how you just used it), those powerful tools give Batman the ability to do many amazing things he could not otherwise do. Capabilities = powers. Imrlybord7 04:26, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I was going to vote support for you, as you are a GREAT editor who brings up policy changes and War Room topics very oftenly, and generally edits the mainspace a lot, but, after reading Chia's oppose with the links, I will have to oppose you. I was aware that you sometimes have some anger issues, and that's ok, we are all human, but calling other people Stupid Shitheads, Fucktard Shitmonkey and Fuckmonkeys is unacceptable, be the conversation with TMOI or any other editor.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 10:12, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand your point but could you please not underline and bold those? I did say them but I don't enjoy, and I don't think many others enjoy seeing those words so easily viewable when reading through this page. Darthkenobi0 ^ (talk)  04:07, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. I was just trying to really get the point across.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:48, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was an isolated outburst, sure Darth can take stuff hard, but he has only flipped out on one user. Doltensig.jpeg 00:35, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Darth has flipped out on more than one user. *cough* Imrlybord7 04:26, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Support - My only hope is that you keep trying to uphold yourself with integrity and don't let anger get the best of you. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 23:43, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - User fails to control temper at times; may attack other users. 02:27, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Extremely strong oppose - This user cannot seem to control himself in many situations, thinks offensive things are funny, insults our Wiki, saying they are full of retarded shitmonkeys, gets angry extremely easily, is sensitive, and is all around annoying. (IMO)--Letlev (Talk) 03:49, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Alex Martin Rider
Hi, I'm Alex Martin Rider. I nominate myself for the role of Adminship. I have been at this wiki for over two years ago now. My first account was "Batman Rider" then I made a new one. I go on here almost evey day. I edit pages, upload many valuable images used for pages, and take part in discussions I'm interested in. I don't get in fights with other users and cooperate with everyone I meet. I am an admin on two other wikis and understand the responsibilities of being one. I hope you seriously consider me for the role of an admin. Thank you for considering me! -- Alex Martin Rider 01:56, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Have never seen you around. --Scottie theNerd 04:14, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I've rarely seen you edit, and honestly you don't stand out as an exceptional editor.

Oppose - Have never seen you on Rampantlion513  04:44, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - You uploaded a lot of good quality pictures, but your editing is sporadic.

Strong Oppose - I'm with the above 3 on this one. I've seen you maybe once or twice. <font style="background:darkred">  404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 12:10, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Oh yeah, your mainspace count is way below par. Smuff 20:05, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is my second account....

Oppose - I've actually never seen you before, so I can't support you. There are far better candidates. Maybe some day. 20:47, June 29, 2010 (UTC) Comment You also stole my signature. I thought the whole idea of a signature was to be unique, but you just took it. I don't really like that either. <font style="background:silver"> Poketape Talk  01:44, June 30, 2010 (UTC) Oppose - Sure, you say you've been here for 2 years, but looking at you Userpage, 344 edits since Febuary 18th 2010? You call that active? Not to mention, I've never seen you around. <font style="color:firebrick">SSD  <font style="color:black">天皇陛下萬歳！ 01:54, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support- I support him because he is good with pictures and is friendly. I find that "Oh I haven't seen your name" means nothing. Look, if theres a page with no picture then it's just paragraphs. Remember not every one is on the computer every day. SO your at the right place BUT your at the not at the right time.BravoAlphaSix 03:25, June 30, 2010 (UTC) - User lacks mainspace edits.


 * I had a different account...
 * I was still talkin' about your current account. 344 edits in 4 months. 648px-Flag_of_South_Vietnam.svg.png <font style="color:firebrick">SSD  <font style="color:black">天皇陛下萬歳！ 02:02, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not trying to make excuses but I've been gone a lot lately. I actually have a life. Considering that I'll be gone until about noon every day this week for personal reasons.

Strong Oppose - What? Why nominate for an RfA now? I haven't seen you much, your editcount is way way low. I don't think you'll ever become one now. 07:11, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment -- Okay, I get the point. People on here don't like me, I just wanted to see what others thought of me. I was just hoping that I would get one supporting vote.....
 * A lot of people have lives too, and no one's going to criticise that. However, if you haven't been active or committed to the wiki, it's not likely that you'll do much as an admin. --Scottie theNerd 05:53, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Precisely, I wasn't necessarily judging you in any way, just an admin requires a good amount of attention towards the wiki. 648px-Flag_of_South_Vietnam.svg.png <font style="color:firebrick">SSD  <font style="color:black">天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:04, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Wow, Devil. What an unnecessarily mean and stupid thing to say. If failing RFAs was all it took to never become an admin, I don't think anyone would be in a worse position than you. Alex, it's not that nobody likes you. In fact, I've looked through some of your contributions and you seem to be a fine fellow. However, what you have done for the wiki is only a small fraction of what it takes to prove to the community that you can handle adminship. Adminship isn't about liking or disliking people. It's about confidence in their dedication and integrity. Now, I know that a few people might jump down my throat for bringing up edit count, but I'm just going to say that I never expect to see any more users with edit counts below 1,500 become admins, and even 1,500 would be pretty low for an admin. Imrlybord7 07:44, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - "I actually have a life." Is there something you seem to be implying there? Bord was right, people don't hate you, but posting stuff like that on an RfA isn't going to help your philosophy along very well. Smuff 17:42, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Stong Oppose - I've only seen you on, what, twice? 17:06, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Toilet Bowl Soldier
Hello there, I am Toilet Bowl Soldier. I have been here on this beloved Wiki since December 2009, and I have been editing articles since then. Recently I have cleaned up many articles and tried to make this Wiki a better place. Despite having less than 1,000 edits, I hope people consider giving me a chance of being a sysop. I just want to make this Wiki a better place for you, me, and the rest of the community.

Sincerely - Toilet Bowl Soldier

Oppose - Sorry. But your editing seems to be sporadic at best. While you want to make the wiki better you didn't explain how you would do that if you were an Administrator. You can make the wiki better even if you are not an Admin. 14:19, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per CodExpert. 14:42, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see you as the type of person that would know what they're doing as an admin, you're still pretty new here. Shotrocket6 14:59, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per CodExpert. -- 15:37, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Haven't seen much community participation that would reflect appropriate administrator skills. --Scottie theNerd 15:42, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Poketape
Hello everbody! I, Poketape, nominate myself for 'cratship. I am a very dedicated user and have been here for more than a year now. I am always watching the recent contributions and have proven myself knowledgeble in CoD information. (After all, this is the CoD wiki.) I am always willing to help out new users and am always active in discussions. With the arrival of what so far appears to be 3-5 admins, I believe another crat is necessary and that I should be this crat. Thank you.

Support - We need another crat. And sorry for quoting Darthkenobi, but the glove fits for Poke. Slowrider7 20:14, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Always responsible, neutral, friendly and can get stuff done. He would make a great crat. Doc.  Richtofen  21:14, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - per Doc Richtofen. <font color="Green"> Talk 23:01, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He's proffesional, friendly, and active in the War Room. He is a fine choice for Cratship. 23:03, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Doc.- 23:55, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Doc. -- 02:18, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - There are multiple admins who I would trust much more with 'cratship than Poketape. Although he is generally polite and friendly, he does not conduct himself in a particularly professional manner, and 'crats should basically be perfect. When I think about who is most like Chia and Saint, Poketape is certainly not a name that comes to mind. Imrlybord7 02:55, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet - You're a very friendly user and have never been caught up in any bad conflicts. However, in my opinion, I believe there are a few more users who deserve crat just a bit more than you. Nevertheless, if you become just a bit more active and voice your opinion regularly you will surely become a crat one day. 03:14, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * The position of bureaucrat is not something to be deserved. 10:58, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - The nomination does not convince me of the need to have another bureaucrat or why the candidate should be given authority over his peers. While Poketape has been visibly active in the recent past, I have not found it easy to work with him and don't think I would work as positively with Poketape as I would with others. --Scottie theNerd 11:07, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet - I feel there are better candidates for adminship. I feel it is OK to do a direct comparison to Bovell (considering he also has a RfB open), and Bovell comes out on top, with the impeccable way he portrays himself. I don't feel you will never become a bureaucrat, just not now. 11:16, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - There are far more other people who deserve 'cratship than Poketape. In the future when people think he's worthy enough, I'll support you. JUst at this time, it won't happen. I'm saying this not badly just as a user. Sorry, if anything I say makes you disappointed 15:26, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Not Yet - I don't think that we need more than one new bureaucrat, and I feel that Bovell should be that new bureaucrat. 16:19, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Please give the RfB votes the respect they deserve and provide additional reasons besides "Per ...." . 20:45, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with agreeing with what another user has already written. If it's "disrespectful" for someone to write a comprehensive comment and thus prevent anyone else from voting, I'm quite happy copy/pasting the reasons to everyone's votes above. --Scottie theNerd 10:34, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Bovell
I, CodExpert, hereby nominate Bovell for the position of Bureaucrat. He is a very dedicated user to the wiki since February 15, 2009. He is very active in most War Room discussions and is a very intelligent, proffesional, and active Administrator. Bovell has shown himself completely worthy of being a Bureaucrat by being a nearly flawless user, he is definately one of the Administrators that are most wrothy in a user rights upgrade. And with these arrival of a large amount of Administrators, I think that the wiki would need another Bureaucrat. 21:16, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept my nomination. 23:17, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. 21:16, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - per nomination. He has always acted in a professional manner and has never acted out in a manner that would suggest otherwise. Always acts very mature on the wiki. <font color="Green"> Talk 22:57, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support per nomination. He's a great user. <font style="background:silver"> Poketape Talk  23:25, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Bovell is a great contributor, he acts properly and he is very active in Forum discussions. Everything he does is professional and done correctly. I think that with the new adminstrators coming in, we will need more Bureaucrats and Bovell defnately fits the spot.

Support - - Per nomination. -  23:56, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Bovell is always a mature, friendly editor, and he'll make a great bureaucrat. 02:50, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I feel that Bovell is currently the best choice for a new 'crat. Intelligent, well-written, professional, courteous, kind, and insightful. Imrlybord7 02:57, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I have had very productive sessions with Bovell. He is one of the few sysops who go about their duties in the community by working with policies and providing neutral, objective perspectives on sensitive issues. He is unafraid to caution users for wrong behaviour or correct his peers for misunderstandings and misconceptions. My conversations on IRC with him show a strong regard for the betterment of the wiki and a respectful attitude to all users. He would be, in my opinion, of the best people to take a leading role among admins. --Scottie theNerd 11:12, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Bovell has been on the wiki for a long time and clearly knows what he is doing. He conducts himself in a mature and intelligent manner and his large influence over the wiki (which is a good thing) would make him a fine bureaucrat. 11:16, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support - If I say per Scottie, will he kill me?
