Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship

 Pertinent

Quick Links

This page is for users to place requests for adminship (RFA), which are elections held to elect new administrators. An Administrator is a user with more privileges than a regular user; administrators have rollback rights, deletion rights, protection rights, and also have the duty to enforce the rules, assist all users, enforce blocks, and maintain organization throughout Star Wars Fanon. The current administrators are as follows: Brandon Rhea, C3PO the Dragon Slayer, Wayne "CurrentBigThing" Lipman III, Andrew "Drewton" Barton, Jasca Ducato, Christian "NKSCF" Ashley, Gnosis is knowledge, Michaeldsuarez, Nacen, and Solus.

See the archive to view previous requests for adminiship election details.

Rules
The following are the rules for requests for adminship:


 * 1) Users must have 100 mainspace edits to be nominated for adminship and/or to vote on a nominee, per the voting policy.
 * 2) Users may not vote for or against themselves, but they may nominate themselves.
 * 3) Users must have at least a majority vote (51%) from the voting registered users in order for their nomination to pass.
 * 4) Users must have at least a majority vote (51%) from all administrators in order for their nomination to pass.

Users may only vote once per candidate, which is logical; if they are going to oppose a user, however, they should provide a solid concrete reason. 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.

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


 * === Username (+/-#) ===
 * ==== Support ====
 * ==== Oppose ====
 * ==== Neutral ====
 * ==== Comments ====
 * ==== Questions ====

Questions can be asked by any user. Any and all appropriate topics are open for questioning.

 * 1) Despite my comments to the contrary a few months ago, I think it’s about time that SWF began building a new admin team&mdash;I won’t be here forever (no, I have no intention of leaving anytime soon), so I can’t keep being the only active admin here. As Wylind and I were saying earlier this evening, it’s also better to have a team to try to further avoid the perception that one person is the boss/leader/president/etc. of the wiki when that’s not true at all. Unfortunately, and while I don’t support removal of user rights for individuals who aren’t harming the wiki, the vast majority of the current group of admins isn’t really active and isn’t much of a team anymore. I think it’s time to change that, hence this nomination:
 * 2) Trak Nar has been here since May 2, 2008 and has racked up nearly 6,000 edits.
 * 3) Most of Trak’s 6,000 edits aren’t from her own articles. It’s from her insane efforts in cleaning up articles, those being random articles and some new articles, here on the wiki. She’s one of the few who takes the time to do that, and she’s certainly the most insane active of those who do.
 * 4) She's a member of the Council of Seers.
 * 5) She has rollback rights on the wiki and has cleaned up vandalism on multiple occasions (as well as on Wookieepedia and Darthipedia).
 * 6) She’s gained the trust and respect of the entire SWF community.
 * 7) I don’t think I need to say anymore about Trak. Those who are going to vote in this election know Trak, and know all of the positive things there are to say about her. She’s the most obvious choice for administrator here, and I hope that a successful RfA for her is just the start of a great new admin team here on SWF. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 04:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) An incredibly well-qualified candidate. Trak Nar is a force to be reckoned with, and she uses her superpowers for good. 05:03, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Of course. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 05:07, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Trak is an awesome member, I've felt that she would make a great admin for a long time. -Bluethunder Contact 05:16, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I've actually been keeping an eye on Trak's contributions for a while now, especially since I kept seeing his name popping up on my watchlist. To support Rhea, it looks as if Trak could become a highly valued member of the admin team, and I would certainly have no quarrel with him joining. -- Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:54, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) "Afterwards" is slang. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:18, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) This is a no-brainer. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication[[Image:Sabersmilyc3po.jpg|25px]] 13:53, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Great contributor, will make a great admin. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 18:58, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Sure. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Good choice. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:32, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Like Trak, Goodwood is someone who’s been immensely helpful on the wiki. His first 1,000-1,500 edits were virtually all clean up edits to articles that aren’t his. That’s almost unheard of on SWF, unfortunately. As far as sustained editing goes, he’s only been really active since about mid-May. To me, though, “age” is just a number as far as Goodwood goes. He’s been around the SWF IRC channel for over a year now, during which time I’ve come to know, trust, and respect him. He’s an administrator on Darthipedia, and he’s an Archivist here on Star Wars Fanon&mdash;the latter of which is pretty impressive considering he hasn’t been here all that long, but, like I said, “age” is just a number. I think he’s got a good idea of where SWF should go in the future, and, while we disagree on some things, fresh ideas in a responsible admin team are always a good thing. He’s more than proven himself, at least to me. I know there are some users on Wikia who may scratch their heads at this nomination, but in the time I’ve known Goodwood I’ve come to trust and respect him. He’s never done anything to suggest he’s a negative force here on this wiki; quite the contrary, all he’s done since becoming active is help the wiki. I fully support this RfA. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 04:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He's got prior experience in Darthipedia, I doubt the power will go to his head.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:06, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) He's good. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 05:08, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * He, like many users here, knows what is best for this wiki. Like Trak said, this extra power does not appear to be an issue. -Bluethunder Contact 05:14, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) It's the wood that counts. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:18, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Jack. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 18:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) You can tell how good the wood is by its grain and Goodwood's is straight and true. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:00, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Darthipedian? Sounds good. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:33, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (1)

 * 1) Honestly, I've not been seeing Goodwood's name as much as I have Trak's, but that isn't a sign that he's doing bad, just that I've been away far too long heh. So whilst I can't fully pledged my support to his nomination without further reviewing his contributions, I felt oblieged to put in a word here; if the rest of the users here have no issue with Goodwood's nomination, I'll trust in them. -- Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:54, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

 * Is he still an admin at Darthipedia?-- Josh Bender Talk 20:05, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, he is. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 22:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
