Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Crazy sam10 (2)

Crazy sam10^{Talk • Contribs • Edit count}

I am nominating Crazy sam10 for adminship:

This is Sam’s 2nd RfA. After he put forward his first one, somewhat rapidly, he was able to get a lot of constructive criticism on how he could improve to become an admin.

I feel since this time he has been able to improve on these things, he has done so firstly via his chat mod status, whilst not directly improved upon it, he has had still no complaints arise from it (which is rather astonishing considering he is one of the most veteran chatmods we have). He is routinely undoing bans which have expired, and recently has decided to clean up lingering bans which should not still be in effect.

• Sam's log of user rights changes
• An example of Sam dutifully warning a user of being lagbanned, and notifying when the ban has been removed

Secondly he has put plenty of his points forward in the War Room, including setting up several forums of his own where he sought community consensus on various things. This shows a participation in the community and also a will to improve the wiki through improvements made via community consensus.

• Sam's forum edits
• A forum which Sam put forward, which ended up successful

Thirdly he has improved his edit count, whilst many of his mainspace edits are simple vandal checks/minor edits his filespace edits are what I feel have contributed the most to helping the wiki, mainly in the addition of images and adding transparency to existing images, an example of this is the World at War Pack-a-Punch weapons page, and more recently on some of the attachment pages as well. Expanding on images he has also done a lot of work about images, including his forum about image effects, and templates for image quality and bad images.

• Sam's editcount, showing good edits across the board
• Sam's mainspace edits
• Sam's file edits
• Sam's forum about image effects

Sam will make a good addition to the admin team for the reasons provided above, and also with the fact that Sam already knows how to administrate a wiki - he is an admin on Nukapedia as well. Not to mention, Sam is on regularly at a time where there are not many admins on - around 11am - 4pm GMT, which is currently only really kept up by Raven's wing, and while Raven does a fine job, it comes without a doubt that another admin who can be on at this time will be of huge benefit.

Looking at his personality, Sam is a friendly person who is calm and professional in his demeanour, and is always willing to help people with any problems they might have. In other words, he has the mindset ideal for an administrator.

So please consider these points, if you thought this was TL;DR then too bad, if you read through and looked at all the links, thank you for your patience! Please leave your thoughts and votes below. —Unsigned comment was added by Callofduty4

Support

1. Strong Support — As nominator, Sam has proven multiple times that he is suitable for this job.      00:00, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
2. Support — I feel that the Call of Duty Wikia will greatly improve from the adition of this user, and will benefit all. Argorrath _{おしゃべり}00:04, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
3. Support — I always tend to forget Sam isn't a Admin anyway so i think Sam should be a Admin so Per Nom.Arbiter Talk to Rarity

   Not really a good reason why. Please specify The Wikia Contributor ^{T | C | E | Q} 00:17, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Looks like a reason to me.      01:16, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

4. Support — Per nom _{added at 00:42, March 25, 2012 (UTC)}Rose Pichu  00:08, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Users need to give a reason. The Wikia Contributor ^{T | C | E | Q} 00:17, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Per X is a reason.      01:16, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   I originally had no reason, until added later (which I now have specified) Rose Pichu  04:50, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

5. Strong Support — Sam is a valuable asset for his administrator-starved time zone. He is on frequently and is always reliable, whether it be removing drop shadows from images or checking COD:CHAT/B for ban removals. I fully support the community granting him administrator tools, as I know he'll serve almost-perfectly. Also I love my Scoots.

6. Support — All the time, I see him helping out new users and we could definitely use more admins in that timeslot. Phillycj 00:30, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
7. Weak Support — The well written RfA swayed me as it provided very good reasons as to why Sam should be an admin. The Wikia Contributor ^{T | C | E | Q} 00:35, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
8. Support — I believe Sam and the the wiki will benefit from him becoming an Admin, and has seen he is worthy of Adminship. Otherwise, per Argorrath. Hiptechboy 01:00, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
9. Strong Support — Well, the nomination says it all. He's active, does a lot of helpful edits, maintains the chat in good shape, generally does nothing other than helping the wiki here... I'm frankly confused as to how this guy isn't an admin yet. Commander Shepard: ^{"You're just a machine, and machines can be broken!"} 02:25, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
10. Support — I'm going to have to agree with the nomination. Sam is an excellent user that I have never had any problems with. He has clearly demonstrated an understanding of how the wiki works and how to deal with and educate other users, a trait I would prefer in an administrator. I have never seen Sam get into any trouble, and I seriously doubt any trouble would come from him becoming an administrator. While I'm not too sure of whether we necessarily need another administrator, I'm confident that Sam will show his prowess and excellent ability to manage the wiki quickly. Shotrocket6 02:36, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
11. Support — Per Shotrocket6. http://i.imgur.com/vm7BQ.png 02:46, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
12. Support — Sam has been a valuable asset to the wiki for a long time. He will do good with these new tools.-Diegox223 ^{Zed's dead, baby.}04:56, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
13. Support — All around great and friendly user that could only benefit the wiki as an admin. Also, it's nice to see a 'bipartisan' RfA for someone who's a Chatmod. _Sp3c^Talk_ 05:06, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Neutral — I think that while you are good as you are now, you could use a little IRC experience. Metl^Talk 04:33, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   What does IRC have to do with being an admin? http://i.imgur.com/E2uiO5T.png Smilular^Talk http://i.imgur.com/KNXWYe1.png 04:38, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   IRC=/= how to qualify a person for adminship.Argorrath _{おしゃべり}04:41, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   An admin was deranked because of an issue on IRC, so it should matter. Metl^Talk 04:50, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   If it worked like that, most admins would have a desysop forums up their arses, and that is not the case.-Diegox223 ^{Zed's dead, baby.}04:58, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Okay, what? So does that mean we desysop Poketape because he's not on IRC? Since when does being on IRC even matter? As per what Shot said, how do you even know if you're not even in there? _Sp3c^Talk_ 04:58, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Besides Sam shouldn't just be looked at his Chat?IRC service as his edits, and contribution is the biggest contributing factor to why he should be admin IMOArgorrath _{おしゃべり}05:03, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   I'm sorry, but what? Even so, Sam is on IRC all the time...PotatOS^{Wanna Test?|My Own Test Chambers|Ohaithar} 04:39, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   I stand by my vote nonetheless. Metl^Talk 04:50, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   No words can't express, and with all due respect, how stupid and baseless the point in this vote is.-Diegox223 ^{Zed's dead, baby.}04:44, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   I love how you say "With all due respect" before that. Again, I stand by my vote. Metl^Talk 04:50, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   What goddamn point? 1.- Poketape nor CoaZ nor Shotrocket6 are in IRC all the frikkin' day, and they are exceptional admins. 2.-You are not over IRC all the goddamn day, so you don't either know how he needs more IRC experience. And number 3.- Sam is always at IRC, so try to search up more information instead of basing your votes into baseless assumptions.-Diegox223 ^{Zed's dead, baby.}04:56, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   How about instead of pointlessly raging at me over my vote, you explain yourself nicely? 173.78.219.180 05:06, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Metl, you must explain how (in your eyes) not being on IRC enough can inhibit his ability to be a good admin, Shotrocket6 is almost never in IRC yet he is often called the "Community Admin". Please explain your reasoning. http://i.imgur.com/E2uiO5T.png Smilular^Talk http://i.imgur.com/KNXWYe1.png 04:54, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

   Not being on IRC enough means there is a lack of communication between this admin and the other admins. I never said it would inhibit his abilities as an admin, it would just be a barrier in case an admin or another user wants to get a hold of him, and wants a response not 12 hours from then, but 3 minutes from then. 173.78.219.180 05:06, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
