Star Wars Fanon:Request for Seership

 Pertinent

Quick Links



Star Wars Fanon's request for Seership is the electoral process for becoming a member of the Council of Seers, the good article and featured article review board on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. A Seer takes part in the reviewing of good and featured article nominations by leaving objections about an article and voting on the article once the objections have been corrected. The current Seers are as follows: Brandon Rhea, Andrew "Drewton" Barton, Solus, Trak Nar, and Unit 8311.

Please see the archive to view previous requests for Seer election details.

Nomination
In order for a user to be nominated or initiate a request for Seership, that user must have at least 100 main space edits. If a user is being nominated by someone else, that user must have accepted the nomination beforehand, so that the nominee knows of his or her request for Seership.

To set up a request for Seership of a nominee or of oneself, a user must provide the following format:


 * === User:Username ===
 * ==== Support ====
 * ==== Neutral ====
 * ==== Oppose ====
 * ==== Comments ====
 * ==== Comments ====

Nominations will last for one (1) week, unless they require an extension.

Voting
Any users who want to participate in the voting process must reach the standards of the voting policy, which means having at least 100 main space edits. Votes from members of the Council of Seers will be marked with the Seer template to distinguish from other users, but these votes do not carry any more weight than non-Seer votes.

Users may only vote once per candidate, which is logical; if they are going to oppose a user, however, they must provide a solid concrete reason. Invalid reasons will be struck out. A support vote adds one tally to the net votes of a nominee, and an oppose vote subtracts one tally; a neutral vote does nothing, mathematically.

Users who have been barred from voting may not vote if their punishment is still ongoing, and, as the voting policy states, vandals and sockpuppets may not vote either.

Support

 * 1) Over the last few weeks, the number of Seers has dropped from nine (9) to six (6) with the departure of Squishy Vic, Xepeyon, and, just today, Jedi Master 76 from the group. Six is just not a good number, and I’m worried that the number may continue to drop like it did last year. As some of you might remember, when we still had the Decreton Lords the group’s number dropped to three. Yes, THREE. It was me, MPK, and Solus, and having only three was just bad. It’s too much work for three people. I’m hoping we can curb this in the event that it starts to happen again, and one of the ways we can do this is to give our full support to Nacen in this request for Seership. Nacen has reviewed a number of articles, mostly in a non-GA and non-FA setting, and he’s very good at it. I’ve been very impressed with the quality of his reviewing. Because of that, and because of his obvious dedication to this wiki, I feel he’d be a great candidate, and I’m happy to see that he’s accepted the nomination via IRC. I give my full support, and I encourage you to do so as well. - Brandon Rhea  Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 03:26, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * 3) Cuz I recommended him for a reason. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 03:48, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) *Indeed. I'd been thinking about asking him ever since you said it, and now with three down I figured it was as good a time as any. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 03:52, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) If he can do it.  Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  22:54, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) * I think now would be the perfect time for me to resign. - Joe   (talk) 02:47, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) **Vote void as the user has been banned. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 07:16, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) He's got my vote. I've seen his reviews and he's an active member.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:24, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) He's a very good editor and reviewer. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  19:49, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Comments
Accepted via IRC. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 03:26, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Can I have some links to some of his reviews? - Joe   (talk) 03:18, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Here is one right off the bat. I'd have to search for other ones, since they were stuff in the mass deletion. That means some don't even exist any more due to the deletions. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 02:23, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
