Request for Adminship: Drkdragonz66 Submitted: August 30 2011, by Callofduty4 Closed: September 12 2011, by Callofduty4 Result: Successful

Drkdragonz66^{Talk • Contribs • Edit count}

I'd like to nominate Drkdragonz for admin, so below is a list of my reasoning:

1. He is very active.

   As you can see from his contributions, it is clear he puts a lot of dedication into editing the wiki.

2. He shows great understanding for the wiki.

   This can be seen from his steady stream of high-quality news blogs

   Also his forum input, in which he shows a great deal of understanding of what's going on and is always willing to put input into the discussion.

3. His edits are of a high standard.

   While his mainspace edit count may not be that high, his mainspace edit contributions are of a high standard and contain a large amount of antivandalism.

4. He is dedicated to maintenance tasks.

   This is seen in his file edits and his template edits.

5. He shows good conduct in what he does.

   He is always willing to help people, as can be seen here, here and here.

   He's generally friendly and doesn't take a hostile approach to things.

6. He is well integrated in the community.

   This is shown by his standing as a member of the news team and as mentioned before, his constant supply of well-made news blogs.

So for these reasons I think Drkdragonz would make a good administrator.      20:12, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

I accept the nomination, and am excited to see what others think about me. DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   20:16, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

2. Strong Support — Per nominator. Very dedicated to the wiki and all around a great user. Jar ^{making tacky jelly} 20:14, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
3. Strong Support — Whilst he says he doesn't want the tools, he needs a slap around the head. Drk is a brilliant user who will benifit greatly from these tools. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 20:15, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
4. Strong Support — Incredibly dedicated user, who will make good use of the tools. 20:15, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
5. Super Strong Support - Per nominator, even if he does say "Poor N7" alot :( N7 TC 20:16, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

6. Strong Support — His edit count (being the highest for a non-admin), record of anti-vandalism, time on the wiki and effort dedicated to the wiki tell enough. I see no reason why he wouldn't be fit for administration. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 20:17, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

9. Support — I'm all for Drk becoming an admin on the wiki, although I think it would be best to delay giving him IRC operator status for a while. Because of spamming in the chat and apparently getting into some issue with CplBohater in #wikia-codprivate, I think we should start out without +o when (or if :3) he gets sysopped. --Azuris(talk) 05:20, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   I'm fine with not having full operator status right away on the IRC channel, since there's usually an admin who will deal with any occasional spammers that appear. DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   05:26, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

11. Full Support Per all. But seriously man, I recall asking you on IRC if I would nominate you for admin. You said and I quote I don't want/need admin toold and I never will. I find it quite odd you are accepting this RFA despite what you said. But you have my full support and I think you will make a great admin.--Guitar t-bone^Talk! 12:58, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

12. Strong Support — I was wondering when someone was going to make him an admin. He certainly could benefit the wiki with these powers. Hip-techboy ^Christmas --14:34, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

16. Strong Support — Absolutely. Shows a great deal of dedication for this wiki, especially in the file namespace. Sunderland06 (talk) 00:51, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
17. Strong Support — Per the nomination. He would be a great addition to the admin team. D_47 01:03, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
18. Support — While we have plenty of admins, Drk is a very responsible user who will benifit greatly from admin tools. CoaZ^Talk 03:19, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

21. Strong Support — When I REALLY started editing on the wiki, I had already thought he was an admin because of his blogs and style of contributions. I found out during the new wikia layout. Helpful on IRC and has my full support.Phillycj 16:17, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
22. Strong Support — Per nom. DogNut327 19:25, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

24. Support — Per Nomination The Wikia Contributor ^{T | C | E | Q}03:13, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
25. Support — Given that me and Drk are good friends, maybe our stealing was in good faith, as well as the CC License. He's a very good editor really, and Whiskey? 10,000 edits isn't much? He's brilliant, and the bot rights were deserved. Maybe he can get them taken off now, although I am going to be jealous, in a nice way ;) YELLOWLUCARIO ^TALK  12:21, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

    Where in the world did I say 10,000 edits isn't much!?!?! it took me a hell of a long time to get to 10,000 and taking me even more longer to get to 30,000 edits! Talk 03:20, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

26. Extremely Strong Support — Nyx is one of the most dedicated editors I've ever seen on the wiki. Whether it's adding categories, licensing files, or anything in between, he's an editing machine. How he can do it and still have time for chatting on IRC (as well as still have fingers by the end of the day), I don't know, but I do know this: He'd be an awesome addition to the administration team.

27. Support — Per all. Dr. Brew^Talk 03:06, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
28. Support — Per giggle and Smuff. Drk is an amazing user who do nothing but better the wiki in every way by gaining these tools. He shows much hard work and dedication and is well loved by all users. I see no reason in not giving him the tools. Nikolai Cannot Die 09:20, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
29. Support Azuris's idea. Pierogi^Talk 19:58, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Neutral — Meh05:10, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   What are you even trying to say? You don't like Drk, you don't think he would be fit for the job... what? I don't think only "Meh" is a valid reason. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 09:01, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   Elaborate, as you have not given a valid opinion on the matter. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 13:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   You realize that there is Meh, right? Pierogi^Talk 18:11, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   That shouldn't even exist. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 18:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

2. Neutral — Sp3c's point is pretty valid; I do strongly believe that it is the fault of the user that came off as hostile that any implications arise. Also, as I pointed out below, Drk is not very active in forums. However, he does know a great deal of editing and he could be a great administrator if he ties up some loose ends. For now, I will remain neutral. Shotrocket6 10:39, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
3. Neutral — Per Shot. Pierogi^Talk 18:59, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose — Drk can be really immature, especially on IRC. Pierogi^Talk 20:15, August 30, 2011 (UTC)Withdrawing vote. Pierogi^Talk 18:24, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   Looks like I'm "That guy" =( Pierogi^Talk 20:16, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   Your point is? N7 TC 20:17, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   That I feel that he is not mature enough for admin? (Keep my record out of this please, I'm not running for admin)Pierogi^Talk 20:18, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   knowing megan's attitude towards everything though she'll probs oppose :P Smuff^{[citation provided]} 20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   What's the point of even saying this? Joeytje50^{talk i is gud admin
   supprot ma RfA} 20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   Dunno lol      20:28, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   And to clarify, what I see in the next few days will greatly influence my vote. Pierogi^Talk 20:32, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   Well he said he was "that guy" Smuff^{[citation provided]} 20:33, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   On IRC, he's quite friendly, and what may at first look like immaturity (such as repeating call of "poor <someone>"), it shouldn't be taken very seriously. While the "temperature" on IRC is mainly cool, the situation can be very hot, but in those cases I have never seen Drk being immature and/or irresponsible. Though I don't know how he behaves or has behaved to you, I wouldn't say he is immature. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 21:29, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   May I point out that though I am infrequently on IRC, I can gather from what you just said that Drk is not proficient at presenting his opinions in a friendly way and instead comes off as hostile, even when he does not intend to do so. I have seen many users go off the rails as a result of taking something someone said the wrong way; however, it is the fault of the user who came off as hostile that any problem was created. Shotrocket6 10:53, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   Not really. If the interpreter fails to interpret something properly, it's their fault.      14:22, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

   Perhaps to a certain extent, yes, but it is for the most part the hostile user's fault. Shotrocket6 00:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   I'd say the oppose. While it is partly the hostile user's fault, the "victim" should be able to take a joke, which it is in these cases. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 08:42, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   It is absolutely not the responsibility of any user to be able to "take a joke." Shotrocket6 01:19, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

2. Oppose — When I removed him from the Quick Licence he /ignored me on IRC and he said it was for some other reason, which is not what admins should do. They should not let personal feelings have influence on what they do on the wiki and IRC. Also per cpl. -- CakeMix^Wednesday 20:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   lmao smuff N7 TC 20:46, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

3. Weak Oppose — I am not entirely sure he has the formality and maturity expected of admin as of now. -- -- mr_expert talk 20:47, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
4. Weak Oppose — Per CPL.Raven's wing ^Talk20:58, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

   Changing to Weak Oppose — Per Mr. ExpertRaven's wing ^Talk21:34, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

5. Weak Oppose — Even though he has done quite a lot for this wiki, he dies seem a bit immature in IRC, spamming "poor Joeytje50", abusing my autoreply script to say "poor <username>" back automatically, and continue after I told him to stop several times. Even though this is not really enough to oppose a RfA, he does seem to do such kind of things more often (it is indeed a bit immature to /ignore someone for removing you from the access list of something) and I hope he learns from his mistakes so that he could be a bit more mature. Also, he has said he would become quite a lot less active, which adds to why I also think you might have to wait a bit longer (maybe until you can be more active again) before becoming admin.

6. Oppose — He registered my nick on IRC, so now I can't use it. No.1 way to ruin somebody's fun. Reznov115^Talk -- Void. User:Sactage/s.js 19:13, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

   First of all, he registered Viktor_Reznov, which he dropped once asked to do so. Second, the only reason you can't use it is because a services enforcer is inhabiting it, I told you all you need to do is wait. I've voided your vote. User:Sactage/s.js 19:13, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

7. Strong Oppose — From what I've seen, he constantly violates UTP on IRC, telling users to 'Fuck Off' or to 'gtfo.' I also do not see a need for the tools, everything he does he can do with the tools he has now. He has also shown a somewhat high level of immaturity. He does not seem to understand what COD:UTP is as he is warned many times. He also occasionally goes on chat and simply trolls. He has been banned at least 3 times. If he can't even control himself in Chat and IRC, how on earth can he handle the admin tools? _Sp3c^Talk_ 00:52, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   Err I recall your attitude towards him and Diego being less than friendly, responding with "idgaf". We understand he is just playing around when he spams. I dont recall instances of "Fuck off", instead friendly shoos. He has an incredulous amount of edits, which would greatly be benefited by these tools. The Wikia Contributor ^{T | C | E | Q}03:06, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   A large amount of edits does not mean he should be an admin, a large amount of edits would have been able to been performed by a bot. I constantly told him to stop and just ask Sactage to do it with URL, but it seemed he was obsessing over edits. I only said 'idgaf' to stop a future argument with was almost inevitable after Diego said that Drk only says "gtfo" to me. It was meant that it doesn't matter who he said it to. Lastly, he did say "Fuck off", I clearly remember it, I do not have logs unfortunately. _Sp3c^Talk_ 03:53, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   I too, indeed recall incidents like this, especially outside of #wikia-cod. Pierogi^Talk 14:52, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   With the exception of extremely rare cirumstances, off wiki incidents of any shape or form do not count toward the outcome of any kind of discussion on this wiki. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 16:24, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   I thought he meant on this wiki, but not on IRC. Or maybe in #wikia-codprivate. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 16:38, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   The latter. Pierogi^Talk 18:08, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   Sp3c, I also don't appreciate being told over IRC you'd be a better candidate, after getting desysopped less than 1 month ago. Therefore your vote won't be counted, since you're voting with your own gain in heart.      18:14, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   Counted in consensus? - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 18:23, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   Yes, it is not being counted. According to the overlord. -- -- mr_expert talk 19:27, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   I was joking, that's why I was using the '1337esque' language, I'm sorry if you misunderstood. _Sp3c^Talk_ 22:45, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   Erm... I never saw any 1337 language, with the exception of abbreviations, which are still different. That didn't look like you were joking, at all. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 22:46, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   It was a PM to CoD4 that was like that, not the actual vote. _Sp3c^Talk_ 22:49, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

   I don't actually think it's right to not count his vote. Don't we only have one voting requirement (mainspace edits)? Poketape ^Talk 04:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Yes, we do. -- -- mr_expert talk 07:25, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Or that the user knows what he is doing, IAR. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 10:02, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   @cod4: why would you let the reasons of the votes count in weighing the quality of the arguments? The arguments don't become more valid or less valid because of the reasons of the vote. And if you are only going to count votes (nice and democratic <_>), the vote is still a valid vote, as the reasons are valid reasons. Even though it is not good that someone would vote for himself to be better, the truth is as true then as it is when those reasons are not behind it. Joeytje50^{talk i is gud admin

8. Not Yet — A pretty good editor, although a few of his template edits were bad. Poketape ^Talk 04:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Everyone makes mistakes... N7 TC 07:20, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   It's whether they can capitalize on these mistakes is the main point of it. Sure people make mistakes, but if they cannot correct them, they're done for. -- -- mr_expert talk 11:49, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Which he did. N7 TC 11:59, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   While capitalizing on small problems, like templates and coding is all well and good. I don't think he has capitalized on his, sometimes immature behavior on IRC. -- -- mr_expert talk 12:03, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Yeah, we actually had a small edit war with the NaziZombies template because he thought a new line should be started whenever a multi-word thing (like Call of the Dead) was separated. This is a bad idea because people have different monitor sizes, resolutions, and looks (as in new Wikia and Monobook). Poketape ^Talk 22:12, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Wikia is the standard skin whilst monobook can only be used at the discretion of an individual user. In the end the Wikia skin is what most people see; thus it is the duty of the monobook user to fix the problem for themselves only, not to screw it up for everyone else. Smuff^{[citation provided]} 22:21, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   That comment doesn't really have anything to do with this. He was in wikia look and said the template should have line breaks to make it look better for him even though other people using the wikia look and in a different resolution/monitor size would see the template differently. Poketape ^Talk 08:07, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

9. Strong Oppose — A good editor by all means, but he's one of the more immature people and although he can be kind, he'll most likely end up de-sysoped. However his behavior has improved in the past few days, because of his evident desperatism. Drk won't be ready for a few months yet. He makes frequent mistakes in his work according to Poketape, which I believe fully. Besides I never see him editing on the wiki, and never even talk to him anymore, and when I DO see him he's never editing.

   12:54 YellowRiolu And can I just say that I do most things that Drkdragonz does yet I don't get recognized. Oh no he gets all the glory. *angry*

   12:55 YellowRiolu He copied what I started doing and then he took all the

   12:56 YellowRiolu He also got REALLY angry at me when I said I made the 3,000th article when I found out he did

   12:57 YellowRiolu In any way, I didn't make a difference, because Drk stole it all

   To me it sounds like you're jealous and that is all the oppose is about. N7 TC 11:59, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   There's a reason you don't see him editing; he's classed as a bot by the wiki to stop his image corrections flooding the activities feed. The result is that none of his edits appear on the feed. Raven's wing ^Talk12:03, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   I'm not jealous, as I don't care about adminship. He did steal some of my ideas, in the past, for example he's used some of my examples in places before and took it too far when he got the 3000th edit. However I am wishing him the best of luck even though in my opinion he shouldn't get it yet. Maybe I was exaggerating a bit in chat. And I understand Raven, just maybe bot flags was a bit too much. YELLOWLUCARIO ^TALK  12:05, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Special:Editcount/YellowRiolu vs Special:Editcount/Drkdragonz66. Good Fight. N7 TC 12:07, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   Yes, he has like 10x my edits. I'm fine. I didn't know about the Creative Commons License until Azuris told me. His UTP violations, (I was a witness to most of what Sp3c said) make me still oppose though YELLOWLUCARIO ^TALK  12:11, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   I've voided YR's vote since it is based on assumptions and is mostly incorrect. He's constantly on the wiki and saying he isn't displays ignorance and an attempt to pluck out of thin air false reasoning to oppose this RfA. And his rant against Drk on Chat just displays this vote is out of jealousy and hatred.     12:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

   I believe we should count the vote because at least parts of his vote are valid. Poketape ^Talk 22:17, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Comments/Questions

HOLD THE PHONE - Drk has said he would not be editing that much anymore a short while ago. I'd first like to know if he changed his mind or not, as it is no use to have a new inactive admin Joeytje50^{talk i is gud admin

To clarify, i meant that i wont be putting all off my efforts on this wiki, as i edit on several others. That, and once school starts, might limit my actions. But if i was (for example) 80% active right now, i would probably be 60% active later, but still active. DrkDragonz66   Talk  Contribs  Combat Arms   20:19, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

I only have 262. While I don't know how if that's a lot compared to other users, it doesn't seem like much to me (seeing how it's just over 2% of my edits).CoaZ^Talk 03:04, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comment - I do indeed see Drk a lot less since quite recently... I think this might not be the right moment to make him admin, while it would be better if he would become admin as soon as he gets more active again. Joeytje50^{talk i is gud admin

Well, he is pretty active on IRC, though his low editing recently is a little bad thing. Still, I believe he'll get use of the tools. - MLGISNOT4ME ^[Talk] - 19:47, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Closing

A rough majority vote of 70% has been achieved with 35 support vs 8 oppose, and combine this with the opposition's failure to address any detriment to making him an administrator on the Wiki, and the overwhelming positivity of the support, and this RfA is successful.      19:50, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
