Please note that you must have 50 main space edits to vote. Ineligible votes will be struck through and ignored.
To see how many mainspace edits you have, see this page.

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 a set of requirements.

You must

• Have been here for at least a month.
• Have edited at least a few hundred times.
• Be civil.
• Have no record of serious offenses (E.g. vandalism, personal attacks).
• Be known and trusted by others.

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 strikethroughed. 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 subsections lists mosts vote types.

• Support - A positive vote.
  • Strong Support - A very positive vote.
  • Weak Support - A positive vote, but the voter is bound to change their vote.
• 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.
• Oppose - A negative vote.
• Pending - Vote not yet decided.
• Comment - A comment.
• 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.
• 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.

Hi I would like to try again. I think I would make a great admin, I work hard day and night to make this wiki one of the best, and I'm always polite to fellow wiki users, admins, I.P.'s and staff members. I will try my best to keep vandals out, and keep this wiki running smoothly. I've been a member of this wiki since January, 31st, 2009 and have an edit count of 1,500 and counting. So please vote me for adminship.

Neutral	0

Oppose: Sigh... just... no. The adminship request failed like 10 minutes ago. There should be a rule against starting another so soon. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 22:22, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: Woah woah woah now, Cod1. It's a tad early to start a new RfA. Anyway, you're a real nice guy, but you don't always handle conflict too well. Also, the comment you made on Cod4's page about you making a better admin was rather immature. SaintofLosAngelesXD(M) 23:02, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Err, no. Way too early. File:Knife 4.png Maj.Gage ^Talk . 00:06, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose I've always thought you were a great contributor and an all-around good guy, but this combined with the kind of things you posted on the other candidates' talk pages leads me to believe that you aren't mature enough to be an admin. There's nothing wrong with being disappointed with losing an RFA (as I told you earlier, you're entitled to your own opinion), but good god man, be a little mature about it. Posting "I'd be a better admin than you!!!" on the winners' talk pages is just a little bit out of line, don't you think? A good leader doesn't whine about losses, he uses them as an opportunity to get better. Sorry, but clean up your attitude and you'll have my full support. --WouldYouKindly 04:27, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose No; no, no. Joey ^aa 07:08, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

SaintofLosAngelesXD(m)

I'm not much of a speech person, but I nominate SaintofLosAngelesXD(m). He's got over a thousand edits and is a great, mature contributor.--Poketape 01:29, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - I'm rather neutral. While I do support Saint, I'm not entirely sure if we're ready for another admin or not. (yes I realize this is ironic from a guy with over 300 mainspace edits, but whatever) Cpl. Wilding 01:45, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Support - He's mature, keeps his cool, always helps out, both the quality and quantity of his edits are impressive, and he does his fair share of fighting vandalism. He would only use his tools when needed, for the best. --  Ari "Akyoyo" MacIsaac · Talk  18:11, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Support for the same reasons as last month's RFA. WouldYouKindly 20:38, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys ordinarily I've thought little about becoming an admin, until recently with the spike in vandalism. I've tried to revert as much of the damage as I can find, and would like to help further. I've always been nice to my fellow editors, and hope to continue to improve this wiki. PhantBat 12:58, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Not yet - I think for now you should just get rollback, and then after you've spent more time here, you should try again. --  Ari "Akyoyo" MacIsaac · Talk  18:12, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Not yet Per Akyoyo. Great contributor who has potential, but you might want to spend more time here. Although you should definitely get rollback, we're going to need all the help we can get once MW2 comes out next week. WouldYouKindly 20:41, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I've hardly seen you do anything around here.--Bigm2793 21:40, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
