Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Sp3ctr3 130 Ki11er

I'm nominating Sp3ctr3 130 Ki11er for the position of admin. He may have a low edit count compared to other admins, but it's important to not judge a book by its cover, and instead delve deeper. Sp3ctr3 is an accomplished antivandal, he was recently made a senior member of the Recent Changes Patrollers, and he is a member of The Image Guardians, both of which are notable project usergroups, aimed at helping the wiki. He also has a clear will to help other users, something I've seen him do multiple times. He also has a very cool attitude, and is friendly with all users, no matter their experience or how they edit.

Sp3ctr3 would benefit himself and the wiki with the tools which come with being an admin. He is a dedicated antivandal, and he is dedicated to the maintenance tasks of the wiki. He would do himself and the wiki good with admin tools.

I hereby accept this nomination for adminship. 22:45, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

I'd just like to say that I've been active since October, not December. 18:48, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * It's not about being civil it's about using the tools right, CoD had to tell him that Rollback was just for vandalism and he still did it some times and rollback isn't given to everyone. --Personal_Cakemix_Signature.png 20:57, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Well, Sp3ctr3 130 Ki11er has done considerable wiki work here, including significant anti-vandalism and is as CoD4 said, in two vital usergroups who greatly benefit this wiki, one of which he is a senior member. Although his editcount and experience may seem low, he has definately shown he is a considerate, hardworking and dedicated user. He doesn't get hot-headed and flame other users or troll around, and is always polite and understanding. Even though he maintains the status of having a hiatus, we all have our reasons in life where we may not have enough time between school/work and personal stuff to edit this wiki everyday. Also, although becoming active in December, Sp3ctr3 130 has shown he knows what he is doing and in my humble opinion, has the knowledge of a seasoned editor on a wiki. 03:26, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

A very good, and level headed editor. He reverts a good amount of vandalism, and admin powers will help him deal with vandals more quickly. CoaZ Talk  03:33, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

A good user. He checks vandalism and he becoming an Admin, would be nice, he deserves it! Stealthfan 17:05, March 19, 2011 (UTC) Insufficient mainspace edits  17:29, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I have seen quite a bit of his activity on this Wiki and I can say that he certainly deserves a position as admin. TheEpicShot 01:29, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose
No-one can deny how helpful he is to the community, but he has only really been active since December (correct me if I'm wrong) and to me, that isn't a terribly long time. However, I am sure that in 3-6 moths he could give it another shot and I would gladly support him. 18:30, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is evident however that he does know what he's doing, even if he's only been active since October. --Callofduty4 18:44, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's worth pointing out here that Icepacks became an admin in a far shorter period of time. 18:57, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Per the other two. Personally, I've never seen him do anything notable, but the explanation that you give in his nomination sounds convincing. 19:50, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Not yet Sorry Sp3c, but you're still inexperienced and you were just inactive. I feel that you need to spend some more time. 23:04, March 16, 2011 (UTC) Changing vote. 17:20, March 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * So basically Not Yet? 23:52, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Not yet Fantastic user, and his antivandalism work and is outstanding, but to be honest, I don't think you are quite ready for the position. I agree with Eltomo, 3-6 months. 04:37, March 17, 2011 (UTC) Changing vote 09:27, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Not yet I don't want to sound like some power hoarder, but it's really starting to seem unnecessary to me to have all of these admins. Maybe when somebody goes inactive.  Poketape  Talk   03:45, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Not yet Per everyone really. I haven't seen him do anything notable except become CoD4's BFFLOMGBBQ and make some PMG's. --Slowrider7 16:58, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

@Cpl.Bohater: For the reason I was inactive, it was personal reasons. We all have personal problems sometime. 23:11, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * Certain major and unforeseeable events can easily prevent someone from editing a wiki, especially when family/school based. 18:58, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that there is no "timer" which counts down until one is ready to have admin tools. Not all users are of the same maturity or capability. Some are more mature and capable than others, so they can reach the standard that makes a user worthy of being admin quicker than others. You're judging him on the sole fact that the date on the top of his userpage isn't from that long ago. --Callofduty4 19:08, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, but that's the way we are now. Views from wikians change, and the reason Icepacks became admin early was because the community had good views, they change as admins and users get inactive, and new ones come along. People have got to know that. Some users just aim for that date, and thats the way they view a user, and the way they think should be an admin, and that's just what they're like. And while I agree that Sp3c is a great contributor and all, I just don't think he is ready right now, but that time is rapidly approaching. I don't know this, but has Sp3c honestly been a revolutionary editor on wiki grounds? Since I got that improvement on my Rfa, and as far as I know, I haven't seen Sp3c do much special.   Doc. Richtoffee    Talk  19:34, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * If it's rapidy approaching, why would you prolong the wait? Just give it to him now. You don't need to base your vote off your (failed) RfA either. --Callofduty4 20:37, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Views from wikians change, and the reason Icepacks became admin early was because the community had good views." I doubt that severely, Icepacks left the second his RfA passed, it was bad judgement on all of the older community's ideals. Opposing an RfA now just to force Sp3ctr3 to wait another month or two is outrageous and in my opinion rather vindictive. 21:01, March 17, 2011 (UTC)'


 * Callofduty4: I didn't mean it like that. Time passes quickly, for people, and give me an example of Sp3c doing something special. And Smuff: How would I know that Icepacks left like that? I don't like stalking on peoples contributions, and picking at the facts like a guy with a monacle and top hat. Anyway, per Azuris.  Doc. Richtoffee    Talk  22:41, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Way to back up your points.  Shotrocket6  Talk  00:03, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's a difference between stalking user contributions and not even seeing an administrator edit in Special:RecentChanges. 07:39, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * @DR.Richtoffee: I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but, as Smuff said, I practically live in the CVN channel, which I got a medal for. I also helped out a very good amount with the new years overhaul, and also got a medal for it. As I said before, I don't know if this is what you're looking for but, here it is. You can come on the IRC if you would like to ask me more questions. 05:58, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I cannot do that. IRC Freenode is down last time I tried. and I have too much homework to bother now.  Doc. Richtoffee    Talk  07:54, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, what are these "special acts" you require? In my 13/14 months on the wiki, few users who have done anything so big that their acts have been deemed "special." 17:17, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not like you are saying it. All I want to know is does Sp3c stand out in the community, and acts a rolemodel to the newcomers.
 * Judging by this, Sp3c seems more than happy to spend time helping and explaining how wikia works and has a very level head in the community. In my opinion, I'd reckon a lot of people would take that as trolling instead, so the fact Sp3c taken so much time to help that one user proves he's an asset to the wiki. 19:16, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm... A good level of maturity. That is all I need say.  Doc. Richtoffee    Talk  19:22, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thats it?
 * Yeah.  Doc. Richtoffee    Talk  19:43, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what to make of that... Are you saying that even though Sp3c is good for the community and that there's no problem, you're still opposing? 20:00, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * You make little sense, Rictoffee.  Shotrocket6  Talk  20:04, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

05:11, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * A pic that proves my point below. 03:17, March 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * You were gone for some time sp3c. --Personal_Cakemix_Signature.png 07:29, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no way to control random events like the one that occurred. Even Azuris said he had to go for a bit. 07:45, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make sense.--Personal_Cakemix_Signature.png 09:09, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * What I'm saying is that I had no control over the thing that happened to cause me to 'leave.' It was a random event that was uncontrollable. 09:23, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't use the IRC, so using that to tell when admins are on doesn't work. And to not count bureaucrats in your count of admins doesn't make any sense, as they can also be asked for help. BOofficialicon.jpg‎ Poketape Talk 16:54, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * In the top left corner, you can see that all of the admins W35, COD4, Furry (Sactage), and Joeyaa's names are all in italics, which means they are currently away. Also, IIRC, there were around 12 admins and 4 B'Crats when Sactage and StB were nominated. Now there are only 8 Admins (soon to be 7 w/ W35's RfB) and 4 BCrats (soon to be 5). I really don't understand why we would need even less admins then we had then. 17:37, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * All because the ones in IRC are away doesn't mean there's no admin to help you. Also, notice how I abstained from both of the votes you refer to. BOofficialicon.jpg‎ Poketape Talk 20:57, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

07:27, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Stop overreacting. I have witnessed two experiences now where you have been rash in your decision making towards jokes. IMO, an admin shouldn't do that. 09:37, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * In response to that, both of them were not stated to be jokes until after I responded. One of them was just a misunderstanding, and the other one was insulting. 17:40, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Nikolai, how was that overreacting? That seemed like a genuine request because he wants to improve! — 14:15, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * Cool, because I decided to calculate the current percentage. Want to know? Doc. Richtoffee   Talk  20:04, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've been doing running percentage checks for a while, but you're free to post them. Having said that, COD:CONSENSUS states that the percentage is a guideline. 20:10, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have calculated the percentage to 60%. Doc. Richtoffee   Talk  20:13, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
