Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Archive 5

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 edits 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)

Comment - Not to sound pushy or overeager, but with 20 Supports and no opposes; shouldn't someone pass it? I know it's only been two days but still... 22:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I'll inform Chia.11:30, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * RfAs must remain open for the minimum time. There's no reason to waiver that requirement. --Scottie theNerd 11:54, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

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

Support - Per all!?  Skaterman. 23   18:30, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Support - There is not much left to say. Per all  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Neutral Oppose - I'm not sure if just another admin is needed, I really see the need for somebody that will put his focus on the War Room more. I see only one candidate that I believe is needed and would fulfill the role 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.
 * In the past, I really haven't seen much participation in the War Room, and while your contributions are not disputable, I'm not sure if you'd really look at all of the base problems of this wiki.

Neutral- Would say support, but I don't like how he handled himself in the whole de-sysoping procedures.nlm gr  01:17, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Change to Support- After looking through your edits, my criticism was unfounded.nlm gr  14:29, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanky ou for the uh... criticism (not sure if it is or not...). But how is the way I handled myself not to your liking? I'm pretty sure all I did was support. 21:21, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - He has a lot of experience and he is a very good editor. He deserves to be an admin. Insane281 05:08, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support- CodExpert has done plenty for this wikia to trust him with admin tools. Per all. 14:19, July 7, 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 would greatly benefit with 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 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 Strong 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)

Comment - If Whiskey did that more often I would have voted oppose, but it is definitely somewhat of a rarity. Imrlybord7 23:30, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Support- Great user, welcomes new accounts very well. Also helps around the wiki a lot.  Munchable901  |TALK?  18:29, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - WHISKEY is a very valuable user. I haven't seen him lash out at anybody, and I'm sure if he did he realizes it was a mistake. WHISKEY would be a great addition to the admin team. 10:53, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Awesome editor who deals with vandalism greatly. 11:00, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

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

Oppose - I, for one, don't really see you being very active, and earlier on, about two weeks ago, all I saw was you welcoming users. I feel you are not ready, sorry mate.  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 08:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Thanks for the criticism, I will make it a point to be more active. 20PX_SIG.gif <font color="Green"> Talk 12:30, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Dan, where have you been? WHISKEY is one of the most active users on the wiki. - Prestige10sigstb.jpg StB_Flag.jpg 12:22, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * All I ever saw him doing is welcoming users, and maybe some un-doing of vandalism. I never saw him actively contributing to the wiki. Or maybe I'm blind... Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 12:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Whiskey is very much active, he has 6,843 edits and well, the rest are in his contribs. He's on all night almost everyday... 12:19, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Normally, I don't vote on other RfA's if I already have one up, but this is where I make an exception. Out of your 6,000+ edits, over 4,000 of them are user talk edits. I don't see welcoming new users as an admin quality job. I realize you've been editing and licensing images, but I fail to see how that makes you more fit for admin rights than other users with RfAs (not including me, I refuse to refer to myself in other votes). There is no doubt in my mind you'd be able to help fight vandals, but I don't think you're ready yet. I thought long and hard about this and thus I must oppose. Cpl. Wilding 18:10, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm going to point out flaws in your argument, first off: you already referred to yourself once before doing so again in saying you don't refer to yourself, so already I see holes in the validity of your oppose. Secondly, your RFA seems to be failing, while WHISKEY has the support of a bureaucrat, several administrators and the rest of the most active wikians, so, honestly, I see a motivation for you to attempt to derail him, as he's got opposition from other users he's been quite blunt with. And if he doesn't welcome, who will? I would but certainly I love working with him as a colleague to that end. However, a large amount of his talk page edits are aiding those new users, which is undoubtedly an action admins should take, his mainspace edits are few because they are more extensive than most edits, the job he does is that of an administrator, all that I see missing from his work is the actual blocking or deleting, because he hasn't those flags yet, on another note, how do you know, I rarely see you active?

Oppose -- Darthkenobi0, you don't make any sense. I know Cpl. Wilding personally, he would make fun of another user just to make himself feel better, like a little twelve year old. He is a responsible person. Also, what in the world are you talking about refering to himself? That makes no sense to me. As for my vote, I'll have to say no, I remember when he joined, he was a vandal. I just can vote "yes" for some one who has done that. Before you freak out on me Darthkenobi0, I have nothing against him as a user...
 * I have no idea what you're saying... I'm really sorry but you seem to be a bit confused about the criteria and who you're voting for.


 * No, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I had to clean up his messes multiple times. Also, why can't WHISKEY35 talk for himself instead of sending an attack dog after anyone who votes against him. No offense to anyone, I just don't think he should have anyone other than himself campaign for him. I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone, just pointing out facts that I don't like about this. Also, please do me a favor, DK, and don't pull that "You're just mad because you're losing" junk on me that you used on Cpl. Wilding. That is uncalled for.
 * Sorry if this igniting anything... but that is not a valid vote AMR, you gave no reason to oppose or any critisizm on how to do better. 17:47, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!! Take it easy! First of all I never intentionally vandalized on the wiki. I dont know you from Adam. Secondly I dont send attack dogs on anybody. People can comment on a negative vote as they choose. Thirdly you can check my talkpage archives, I have never recieved a block or vandal warning from anybody, ever. If I did make an error, it was just that, an error. Has none here ever made mistakes on the wiki? I grant you that I am not perfect. Nobody is. And you are entitled to your opinion. If I did vandalize, then I ask you, why did you not report it to an Admin then when it happened instead of coming on here now and Flame Baiting? 20PX_SIG.gif <font color="Green"> Talk 01:11, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Support - While licensing hundreds of images and welcoming thousands of users is not something that really shows that a user would be trustworthy enough for adminship in itself, one thing it does show is extreme dedication for the project to do repetitive things that most people would honestly do their best to avoid having to do. Completely ignoring the manual tasks he has undertaken, some things I've noticed out of WHISKEY is his calm maturity whenever we talk, and metaphorical aura of overall dependibility I've figuratively felt around him. He is patient, often involved in our politics and decisionmaking, and I think he would make a great addition to the administrative team. 20:06, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose- I haven't seen you on recently, and the your messages/SPAM userpage I find very unprofesional. He changed his vote to neutral below.


 * Whiskey is on more during the night/morning due to his timezone. And the Messages/SPAM thing is very funny and meant to be that way. If you were to not look at one simple message thing, and at his contributions, I think you would see that he is very professional and dedicated to this wiki. 17:41, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Change to Neutral- CE does have a point, but the overexaggerations mentioned above still make me unsure. Whiskey is a great user though...

Not Yet/Oppose - The only thing setting me off is that you don't really need adminship to do what you do - you do a fine job welcoming users, but other things are kind of lacking. However, I think in a couple months, you might be ready. Just improve a little bit, that's all I'm asking. Corporal Juan José Rodriguez Reportin' for duty. 18:07, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you explain what he is lacking? 18:23, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
