Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship


 * For active Administrators, see Star Wars Fanon:Administrators.


 * This page is used to elect sysops, people who can correct pages, delete, block harmful users, and so forth.

Please post your comments related to the election in general on the talk page.

Ideas For Electing Administrators

 * The following are ideas for electing administrators. See Forum:Sysop election for helping Star Wars Fanon obtain a definite voting procedure so that we can have a sure policy.

Option 1

 * There are three subsections, support (s), oppose (o), neutral (n).
 * If (s + o + n) > X, then the user gets sysop rights. s = +1, o = -1, n = 0.

Option 2
The candidate is elected only if the percentage of supporters is greater than X%. The "oppose" and "neutral" sections are mostly used to comment why one feels that the candidate shouldn't be elected.
 * There are three subsections, support (s), oppose (o), neutral (n).

Option 3

 * If after at least a month, one user has more votes than every other user with no oppositions, that user becomes a sysop. The second place user also becomes a sysop.  If there is a tie, both users become sysops.

How To Nominate

 * Find the name of the user you want to nominate, write it here along with the date
 * Place your username under support, objection, or neutral. You can also add a comment after your username. Please add the # (hash) symbol before your vote so we can order the list in a proper way.
 * You are not allowed to vote for yourself.
 * You are allowed to nominate more than one person but you can only nominate each person once.

Current Standings

 * These standings are determined by who has the most votes. This may, however, not be the way the winner is determined.  Also, oppositions will lower the amount of votes you have by one, as long as they're for a good reason.  Neutral does nothing.

Darth tader 31 March, 2007
Well I guess I have had admin expeirience. I have wanted to be an admin somewhere for sometime,that has happened. I may have not been active here but I have been active on other wiki's. Regarding to GHe's comment I am busy in real life, also wiki-wise. Seeming I am nominated I will do as best as I can to contribute here and look out for vandalism this is my Home-Wiki anyway. I also have an ok knowledge with technical stuff. If there is any vandalism issues when no Admin is around I notify the Wikia Staff for help.

Oppose
Comment I am not lazy, if people would like me to say "you" instead of "u" thats fine. Also to the other comment about the KOTOR wiki, is that I was gone, and was the only active Admin to settle the problem in the beggining, it fell apart cause I wasn't there. I would always get rid of vandals if there is one, or warn them. Darth tader Mandalore clan MPTG  00:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) STRONG OPPOSE. Why should we have an admin who is too lazy to spell out "you", isn't the most active, and had a wiki which he was admin on fall apart! NO.
 * 1) Oppose. Sorry, you're a good editor, but I think you should gain more wiki experience first and you're not that active here. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 10:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have been on, all the time actually, my absense for the week was a funeral with no computer acess. I have been busy on other wikis. If I was going to know I was going to be nominated here I would of first said no and work on some stuff before I would run for one. My other wikis are fine and I am returning, if anyone would also like to know the 2nd mandalorian party is supposably scheduled for this Saturday. If anyone would like to ask questions please ask, for grant I am an Administrator on 2 other wikis, one a burea so I know how this all works and how to revert, if I would be one I would contribute A lot more and always look out for vandalsim and requests.

 * 1) Although you're an admin elsewhere, I do not believe you are th best canidate for the job, maybe later.
 * 2) The KOTOR wiki, which he was an admin on, fell apart a few days ago. He is clearly not qualified for the job of admin on a larger wiki. Lord Orenc  ( Comlink )( Conquests ) 05:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I was aware of that, I was away unfortunately, I was dissapointed to hear that it fell apart. But when I was there I took care of it. Darth tader Mandalore clan  MPTG [[Image:MandalorianKOTOR.jpg|15px]] 13:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) What NK said. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm the one you should blame for the KOTOR Wiki falling apart, not Darth tader, I still support you tader.

Neutral

 * 1) Hmm...he's pretty good, but I'm not 100% confident in him, no offense...But to his credit, he's a good bureaucrat at the Gears of War Wiki, and an active contributor there. =D Cheers, Gho st I nsi de the M ach ine ''(Whisper through the Storm ) (My Journeys ) (Omens ) 22:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Questions
Please any questions ask, I would like to know what are community would like answered. Darth tader Mandalore clan MPTG  00:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you asked for it. (The following slightly modified from Wookieepedia...)


 * 1) Why do you want to become an administrator?
 * 2) In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?
 * 3) In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?
 * 4) How do you feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?
 * 5) Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * 6) Of your articles or contributions to Star Wars Fanon, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * 7) What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?
 * 8) How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?
 * 9) Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?
 * 10) What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?
 * 11) How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?
 * 12) How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?
 * 13) Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?
 * 14) If you could change any one thing about Star Wars Fanon, what would it be?
 * 15) Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?
 * 16) Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?
 * 17) Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Star Wars Fanon IRC chat?
 * 18) How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars wiki communities (Wookieepedia, for instance) trying to change policies here?
 * 19) How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)
 * 20) Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note: The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)
 * 21) Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?
 * 22) What's more important to you: consensus or policy?
 * 23) Have you had any previous leadership experience (in your community, on the web, etc.)?

Now for my own.


 * 1) Are you proud to be an American?
 * 2) What is the most important power and duty of an administrator?
 * 3) Do you know how to spell "Wookiee?"
 * 4) Do you know where your username comes from? Would you think of making an article about it?

All the previous asked by --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication because he was bored.

Your own.
 * 1) To help out the wiki with stopping vandalism, or helping on tasks average Users can't do, and also to help the new users that need guidance, but I can do that as an average User.
 * 2) An administrator is a trustworthy user that has a few extra buttons to use. But the Administrators of a wiki is Not In Charge.
 * 3) On the Halo wiki the normal Users are very technically involved and Politicially involved. I believe the Admins don't hold the Technical and policitial standing point. It would make it a dictatorship I think if that was true.
 * 4) I believe the Admins should use there power to do what the average User cannot do, like Block users, do Mediawiki stuff, or protect pages.
 * 5) Yes on Wookieepedia users gave me a lot of stress due to my grammar (I know it isn't the best) and the Original Mando Clan there. I resolved it by forgeting the issue and comming here. In the future I will fix the issue and leave it behind me.
 * 6) Matka Kordai, why... It's my first. The Fan Clans and MPTG, becuase they are my intrests on this wiki.
 * 7) Helping Users on tasks they cannot accomplish on there own. On the Gearsofwar wiki it is fun to do, becuase you get the feeling of importance.
 * 8) Well as I said the Admins don't run the wiki, but I think it is important becuase when the wki steers in one direction you should help it take that turn becuase you can help with the position you stand in.
 * 9) Well not punished except if it was drastic. Once I was gone an Impersonator made another Admin think he was an Admin that we stripped admin status from asking for it. He got it and caused major vandalism. Not punishing him would cause drastic Outcomes. But smaller things should be delt with talking to the Admin asking why they did that and telling them it was wrong, if it is neccassary undo what they did.
 * 10) Ahh my favorite question so far. I love to greet new users, I do look at there contribs to get a basic look at them, better not to Stereotype. My policy is if you are nice to them you get respect back. Quite a few of my votes are from Newer users that I greeted with respect. With anonymous IP's I will look at there contribs and see the Diff's that they did. I will treat them with the same respect as I do with accounted users.
 * 11) I don't know what Speedied is but I would review the article to see if it does deserve to stay, if it's nonsense it has the right to be deleted. If it's okay I will consult with other Admins and the author to keep it or delete it.
 * 12) I would revert it first as I always do. I block by the rules except for certain things like continuous Vandalsim I block longer. But I would contact the Vandal, if it's a minor blanking I would warn them. If it is major then I would block them die to the Blocking Policy lenght.
 * 13) I would block them by what they did or warn them then ban them if it is repeatidly done.
 * 14) I would change the Main Page, no offense to MaulYoda but it doesn't appeal to me any more, but don't have a vision for one.
 * 15) Ahh phycology, I am taught to say Half-full, but I say Half-Full if I am filling a cup with something, and I say Half-empty when I am draining something.
 * 16) I think it is fine as it is.
 * No, I never go on, or stay on becuase no one chats. I would only go on every once and a while to check out the regualr users on it to see if it is not a place to discuss vandalism plans. (Seriously, one guy was suspected by another User and asked me to check him out, but he was fine. But never assume anything).n I only go on when interesting things are planned. (ex:The Fanon Video Game IRC meeting.)
 * 1) I think it is wrong unless they are actively involved on that wiki. I think it is worng to barge in and change the polcies.
 * 2) I say about 14 million. I know I am wrong but in episode 2 they only had roughly 2 million, the Clone Wars was 5 years or so, so it can't be very large.
 * 3) Well I don't know much about Katarn, but no way Revan All The Way!!!
 * 4) Uhhh....No. Never have, never will.
 * 5) I have would have to say policy, the Consensus I have never been to involved in that, but I am getting involved a bit more.
 * Yes, on the web and in real life. On the wikis I am some admins and I kind of lead the way a bit. In real life I am the oldest in my friends group and out of my younger famly. So I am the Overseer of the groups and try to lead it more, my friends always have one guy in my group that they don't likie, excpet me.
 * 1) Yes I am, also a proud British citizen. I have Daul Citizenship. But I live in the US. The commercials here I have to say are outragiously un-handeled, but besides that, gas prices, the government, Iraq, Global Warming, and over-population It's a great place:P Just meesign with you it's a nice place and I'm proud to be a US citizen.
 * 2) I would have to say Blocking. Why, becuase then you can get rid of bad users.
 * 3) Yes I know how to spell Wookiee, when I first joined I think I spelt it wrong. I think it was on the Wokkieepedia IRC channel when I said Wookiepedia, a user corrected me so I now know.
 * 4) I got my User name after I made a comic strip of Star Wars with Tater Tots. SO then I had Darth Tader in it so I used that. There are a select few of User names I have, Darth tader is the most common.

Hope that helps, bye. Darth tader Mandalore clan MPTG  10:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

If anyone would like to ask more I do not care, people want answers, so ask and I give you answers. Darth tader Mandalore clan MPTG  23:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Jack Phoenix 31 March, 2007
I am an administrator currently on five Wikia wikis, of which include Central Wikia. I'd love to help out Star Wars Fanon as this is after all, the very first Wikia wiki I stumbled upon (not counting Wookieepedia here). :)

I'm also very "trigger-happy" (evidence 1 and 2) and I'd delete useless pages as soon as I would find them. I'm online too much a lot, especially on Wikia.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions (regarding this RfA or anything). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Allow me to be the first to vote for you.

Oppose

 * 1) Sorry,I just don't think you will have time to be a admin here. Troyb 22:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Just because he is an admin elsewhere doesn't mean he won't have time here. People can be very active in real life and still have time to be involved in multiple projects. G .<font color="#666666">He <font color="midnightblue">(Talk!) 23:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well in my oppinion I think he won't have time so there. Troyb 14:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Heya Troyb. For your info, this is the first Wikia wiki I stumbled upon - like a "home" wiki or so. You can trust me when I say that I do have always time for this. ;) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, don't worry about Jack not being here. Who else is going to hound C3PO for reforms? He's here a lot of the time and will stay if given the adminship.


 * Sorry I did not know that,I'll change my vote. Troyb 15:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Are you sure? If you're admin on five other wikis, you probably already have your hands full. Lord Orenc  ( Comlink )( Conquests ) 21:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm as sure as one can be. Of those wikis, two are rather active (Central and Star Wars Merchandise), one (War) seems to be winning Collaboration of the month at Central and another two are not so popular. I'm sure I always have time for this wiki. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Aww, thanks guys, for voting me. I promise not to fail you (if I become sysop, and anyway). :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Questions

 * 1) What turns a poorly-written stub into an AfD? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 11:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Always asking so hard questions. Anyway, in my opinion, an AfD candidate is very poorly wirtten and has no actual content, or is a two-liner, like "XXX was jedi in teh new order. he did lots of stuff" or similiar articles. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You find out a helpful and good contributor has been sockpuppeting (though he doesn't outright admit it, you have proof), what do you do? -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Let's reply here with a question firstly: as the user doesn't seem like DV, how would I have proof? Would I have bugged Rieke or Datrio to perform a CheckUser check? Anyway, I would go to the user's main account and tell that sockpuppeting is not allowed, per the policies of Star Wars Fanon and Wikia. I'd probably point him/her to our own policy pages, like Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. If the user would not take the warning, I'd ban him/her possibly for one day with a reason like "Sockpuppetry, which is a violation of rules. See Help:Contents". --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Aww, no more questions for me? But I like to answer questions. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 08:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, you asked for it. (The following slightly modified from Wookieepedia...)

To clean up things, like delete empty articles, to block vandal without bugging Datrio and to be able to help users better. Administrators are people with a few extra buttons to press. Their role is to serve the community. Technical. They have a few extra buttons to press, they're not gods or anything. And nobody owns a Wikia. Only use when neccessary. I.e block vandals, delete vandalism pages and other pages requested to put up for deletion. I can't say I've been stressed really on Wikia, more I've stressed on Wikipedia. Anyway, on conflicts and such, I try to remember a few basic principles: don't be a dick, mind NPOV and stay civil. That's worked usually. I guess I'll deal with any upcoming issues the same way. Stay civil and nice while still doing my job. Jack Phoenix, definitely. Okay, the pictures are not so great, but I like the story. And since the introduction of Decreton Lords, the article has been deemed as good enough to have its FA status. Another favorite of mine is Paul Toledo, though the article is a work in progress. I like Toledo, because of the character and because the things I've planned him to undergo. Oh yes, he's ripped off from Commandos 2:Men of Courage, one of the very few computer games I own. A good game, heh. Deletion! BAHLEETED! ...Erm, sorry. Deletion, and of course, helping user and banning vandals. It's very important to me. Though Wikia are not democracies and "Wikia" is a plural of "Wikia". :P If an user get blocked for no reason, then possibly punish the admin, but I think our admins are very responsible people and they would not delete stuff and block users without a good reason. I slap user on the userpage and hello to the users' talk page. I usually do check the recent changes to find out more about the user, as I certainly do not want to welcome a vandal. And anonymous IPs...I don't trust them. And we don't even have a welcome template for IPs. If I had made a mistake in speeding articles, I'd go and say to the admin, "hey thanks for fixing up my mistakes", but the thing was different if the article was entirely spam or gibberish/1337-speak. Then I'd go to talk to the admin to find out his/her reasons why s/he did so. I'd undelete an article if it was deleted accidentally (that Battle of Mustafar incident was such). I'd always however tell the involved parties what's going on and why. If? More like when, as it's been vandalized like 14 or 15 times now. I'd block on sight if the user was an impostor or if the account was used for vandalism only. And I'd probably do a lookupcontribs aswell on Central Wikia to find out if the user had vandalized other Wikia wikis. Serious and repeated vandalism. And DV's not an estabilished user in my book, he's just a troll. I haven't seen such cases here, as people generally can abide by the rules, which is a good thing, naturally. Perhaps I'd change the reputation. As this wiki has been treated more like a dump than a wiki by different people, I'd want to change the reputation and make this wiki as respected as Wookieepedia or Central Wikia. Half-full. I think it's fine. Yes, as I'm often on IRC anyway (I have #wikia and #SWMWiki always open), but I'd like to see other people of #swfanon than me, GHe, Darth Culator and Whopper. No offense, but this is our community. If you want to become a member of the community, that's great. But a Wookieepedia admin can try to Lots of them. I don't know...let's say 100,000,000. :P Kyle Katarn is OK, but the most awesome Jedi of all time is Obi-Wan Kenobi. No, no and never will be. Policy. The policy says "don't feed the trolls", yet vandal poachers had to undergo two VfD, while it should have been deleted on the first time. Leadership...I don't consider myself as a leader. But I've had a small website of my own (and still have, it's just very inactive), I have a wiki of my own where I'm a steward, currently (14:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)), an admin on 6 Wikia wikis, lookupcontribs rights on Central Wikia and a bureaucrat on one Wikia wiki (and about to become a bureaucrat on another). Everyone is free to form their own opinion based on the statistics above. Now for my own:
 * 1) Why do you want to become an administrator?
 * 1) In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?
 * 1) In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?
 * 1) How do you feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?
 * 1) Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * 1) Of your articles or contributions to Star Wars Fanon, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * 1) What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?
 * 1) How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?
 * 1) Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?
 * 1) What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?
 * 1) How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?
 * 1) How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?
 * 1) Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?
 * 1) If you could change any one thing about Star Wars Fanon, what would it be?
 * 1) Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?
 * 1) Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?
 * 1) Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Star Wars Fanon IRC chat?
 * 1) How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars wiki communities (Wookieepedia, for instance) trying to change policies here?
 * 1) How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)
 * 1) Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note: The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)
 * 1) Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?
 * 1) What's more important to you: consensus or policy?
 * 1) Have you had any previous leadership experience (in your community, on the web, etc.)?

I don't know if there even is a right word on this...but basically, you can vote on things, but they are (or should be) settled with discussion. Original and prequel are both good, but I guess I'll have to go with OT, as it has Han Solo, Leia, Alec Guinness as Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader. The idea is nice, but the list has too much stuff. I mean, there are canon levels like G-canon, C-canon and so on, but there are only like 5 or so levels of canon. The idea is nice, however. Yes! (Or actually, I don't know her opinion about me...) Uh...yes. From C3PO the Dragon Slayer's head, of course. I'd go and talk with the admin and ask question such as "why" and so on.
 * 1) If Wikia are not democracies, what are they? (Note: the correct answer is NOT "anarchy")
 * 1) Do you prefer the prequel trilogy or the original trilogy? Why?
 * 1) Do you think we should use this list more frequently to identify with policies and in the Manual of Style?
 * 1) Did your girlfriend ever ask you whether Star Wars Fanon is more important to you than her? ( If yes, you get automatic giverollback )
 * 2) Did your girlfriend break up with you because you answered "yes" to that question? ( If yes, then you get automatic sysopship )
 * 3) Did you break up with your girlfriend because she answered no to that question?!?!? ( If yes, then you get automatic bureaucratship and a trip to the psychiatrist. )
 * 4) Do you protest the above three questions because you don't have a girlfriend?
 * 1) ...because you spend too much time on Wikia?
 * 1) Do you know where those questions come from? (Note: the five questions above do not need to be answered. They're just funny and I couldn't resist putting them somewhere.)
 * 1) If another admin disagrees with an article you deleted, and undeletes the article, what would you do? (No, this is not the same question as the one up in Wookieepedia's series)

But anyways, there you go. Thanks for the questions, C3PO, I really liked answering those. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 14:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, like Jack I have admin experience&mdash;Spider-Man wiki, although I don't go there anymore, and I guess the 313 would count, but I really didn't do much there, lol.

Some cons I can think of are my attack on the Haven a while back and helping to bring back DV about nine or so times. I'm very forgiving, lol.

To plagarize Jack and Squishy, I'm on here a lot as well and would like to help with the formatting of the entire community by deleting unneeded articles.

 * Fresh from the Official Friend of Wookieepedia discussion! "I don't care what Redemption or 4dot say, I will not let their stupidity influence my decision. Wookieepedia is a wonderful website and without it, I would sometimes be lost in my articles, as most of the info I need is from there. Again, do not let imbeciles like 4dot and Redemption get in the way of becoming an official friend to Wookieepedia" .  .  .  .  23:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Everyone looses his or her cool every so often. Nobody is perfect.
 * That's beside the point. Admins shouldn't lose their cool. .  .  .  .  00:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I did lose my cool because people were going to vote against becoming a friend of Wookieepedia based upon Redemption and your actions. I didn't think this was a viable reason for not wanting to become a friend, since the majority of Wookieepedians are very nice people. I've already apologized for calling you and Redemption imbeciles, but I really think your vote is void, as you don't contribute to the site. It's not like I was going to ban you or anything&mdash;if I had admin powers&mdash;as you yourself stated, we're way too lenient and for good reason, I believe in forgiveness. Mostly because I don't deserve His forgiveness in the first place, but yet he gave it to us, the sinners and unworthy. That is why I love our lenient system.

Bub, I'd like to understand what you mean by "learning how the wiki system works"? Is it my inability to do anything involving templates or something more serious? Thanks.

Questions

 * 1) If you become a admin,what would you do to inprove this wiki? Troyb 22:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, for starters, I'd keep up the "editing war" and format or delete articles&mdash;including mine, believe me, there's room for improvement on some of them. I'd be there to answer any questions someone might have, at least to the best of my ability. I'd help if a vandal came along and ban them reasonably. I'd be open to new ideas that would help improve the site in any way and act accordingly. Oh, thanks for the vote, Troyb!
 * 3) Who shot first, Han or Greedo? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 23:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 5) You just saved my vote for you. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
 * A newer user creates a canon article and you delete it without going over it thoroughly, and the new user gets quite upset, saying he included a small amount of fanon in it. You restore his work, though not before taking a large amount of indignant whining and cussing from him, how do you respond to him? -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologize for not looking over the page properly and warn him that excessive usage of language to get a point across is enough for a small 1-2 day ban. If they still respond in that way, enforce what I said and wait. If they keep complaining even after the short ban, then I will ask for support in deleting the article a second time and maybe for a stricter ban.

BWAHAHAHAHA! --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you asked for it. (The following slightly modified from Wookieepedia...)


 * 1) Why do you want to become an administrator?

Well, for starters, I don't believe that three&mdash;actually four&mdash;admins are enough for a wiki of this size. I'm here a lot of the time and I have been on the site a while. I have experience being an admin and wish to serve the community of SWF by helping them out. I also believe that I am one of the most qualified people on the site for the job.
 * 1) In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?

The role of the admin is to do what others can't. They are supposed to be a guiding light for all users&mdash;newbies and oldtime favorites&mdash;and they are supposed to adjudicate in disagreements by being as unbiased as possible concerning a dispute. They delete unneeded articles and ban people with no lives. In short, they are there to help the community of a wiki to grow.
 * 1) In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?

Technical, like Jack said, admins aren't God, they just have a couple extra buttons to press. (Hey, at least I sourced him.)
 * 1) How do you feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?

Only when the need arises. A vandal of Bobby Boulders' caliber doesn't really need a tea social discussing what we're going to do to him.
 * 1) Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

Well, just yesterday, Patricknoddy and I were arguing over whether or not the fancan template should be on the article page or its talk page.

I reverted his edits several times, and each time I referred him to his talk page where I explained why I was reverting his edits. Eventually he either gave up or needed to leave his computer.

The next day I went to you and sought clarification of whether or not I was in the right.
 * 1) Of your articles or contributions to Star Wars Fanon, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

The biggest Mary Sue of them all: NKSCF and his grandfather Nathaniel Kenobi. They are the ones that I have worked the hardest on and received the most praise and strife over.
 * 1) What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?

Definetly deleting the articles which have the delete tags on them. I think the other guys who gets elected and I will have a bonfire ready the day we're "elected".
 * 1) How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?

It's important that I don't use my authority to get what I want in them, unless it's for the betterment of the site. If there's a dispute, I'd be the first there to help alleviate it.
 * 1) Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?

I for one believe that punishing a person with an ex post facto law is unwikitutional.
 * 1) What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?

I always check someones contributions beforehand before I welcome them. If it looks like they've contributed well, then I'll send 'em a hello.

Anons I also check the same way, since they're more likely, IMO, to be vandals.
 * 1) How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?

Well, if I'd made a mistake, then I'd send them my thanks for catching my mistake. If the article in question was indeed one for deletion, then I'd explain why I deleted it on the other admin's talk page.

If the article was mistakenly deleted, I'd restore it and tell the other admin why.
 * 1) How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?

The same way I feel if anything's vandalized, calm and collected. I've learned to get the MY PAGE IS VANDALIZED I'M GONNA KILL WHO DID IT! attidtude out of my system.

I probably wouldn't do anything drastic, unless they'd done it to a whole lot of other pages.
 * 1) Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?

If they pulled a DV and vandalized everything in sight. Even if it was "just a joke", I'd still place a ban, though not quite as heavy as the first one.
 * 1) If you could change any one thing about Star Wars Fanon, what would it be?

The articles that don't deserve to be here. I'd either change them or delete them, but only if they were against site policy.
 * 1) Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?

I'm a pessimistic-optimist, it's both.
 * 1) Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?

Just fine. Haven't seen a major vandal come in forever. If I could figure out how to premanently stay there, then I'd be the first to sign up.
 * 1) Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Star Wars Fanon IRC chat?
 * 1) How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars wiki communities (Wookieepedia, for instance) trying to change policies here?

Well, Wookieepedia is a very respectable site and a great source of info. They didn't get there by chance, no, they had intelligent people sit down&mdash;well, they were doing that anyways&mdash;and talk over what's best for the community. I think we should learn from their mistakes and accomplishments.

But if they're trying to force something we don't like, then no.

But for something like a RP SW wiki, maybe not so much. I don't know why, but I just don't like them.
 * 1) How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)

The given number is 2 million for the beginning, but if we tally up every single clone created&mdash;fanon or canon&mdash;I believe we have a number between here and there. The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)
 * 1) Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note:

NKSCF Kyle Katarn, the single greatest EU charcater of all time!
 * 1) Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

My teacher says I act more like a Nazi.
 * 1) What's more important to you: consensus or policy?

Policy, defintely, but only after it's been voted upon.
 * 1) Have you had any previous leadership experience (in your community, on the web, etc.)?

Well, in my church, I am sometimes a substitute small group leader when ours is sick or away.

On wikia, I have been an admin at the Spider-Man wiki, even though I don't go there anymore. Now for my own:


 * 1) Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

The fool. It's ok to delude yourself with an idea, but when you bring other weak-minded people in with you, you are creating massive turmoil that should have never occured.
 * 1) What is your vision of Star Wars Fanon? How can you help accomplish this with admin powers? How can you help accomplish this without admin powers? (Note: BIG LONG paragraphs please )

My vision is a Star Wars Fanon wiki with over a million pages&mdash;with a lot of them made by me &mdash;and a model of what a wiki should be. I envision a SWF that is looked upon by its peers, rather than down upon. I envision newer wikis looking up to us and wishing they could find ways to get where we are. Finally, I envision SWF as a place where the lamb lays near the lion and&mdash;whoops, wrong question. :p

With admin powers, I can deleted worthless articles that ruin our image. With admin powers, I can ban those who would stand in the way of progress&mdash;told you I was a Nazi. :p With admin powers, I could the everyday "life" of SWF flow much better. With admin powers, I can have ULTIMATE POWAH! :p (Last warning about being a Nazi.)

Without admin powers, I can still propose new ideas, kinda similar to the "editing war", and be a regular user for the regular users. Without admin powers, I can still effectively revert vandals and work to better the site. Without admin powers, I can only be a pretend-Nazi :(
 * 1) How many times does a page have to be vandalized for it to be protected?

For something like the main page, I'd say 6 or so. For something like the aforementioned Coruscant, maybe 4, because then I could end the dispute by informing the parties involved of SWF Policies and not worry about them messing with it whilst I was monologuing. :p
 * 1) How many chances should we give a semi-good-faith contributor who occasionally gets bored and starts editthis vandal bases? (Hint: Where $$X=Number of chances we gave DV$$, $$X-X+1$$)

As long as he doesn't do anything to our site, none. But if his actions cause ramifications here, then&mdash;if we're doing DV math *shudders*&mdash;10 or so. *Starts crying* But when you subtract ten from ten and then add one, you get 1!
 * 1) Should "newbies" (listed in Special:Contributions/Newbies) be allowed to vote?

I assume they're not anons, so yes. They have just as much valuable input as the "old guns" do. But if they're comments are nonsense, no vote.
 * 1) Would you like to correct any of Darth tader's mistakes in answering his questions?

I think the Main Page is just fine.
 * 1) Would you like to correct any of Jack Phoenix's mistakes in answering his questions?

Kyle Katarn is God in human form! Do not blasphemy his name by mentioning Obi-Wan!
 * 1) Would you like to correct any of Squishy Vic's mistakes in answering his questions?
 * 2) How long have you been writing? (This means all writing as a hobby, not just Star Wars Fanon, but not quite your first grade handwriting assignments)

I as going to start writing a Jonny Quest/SW crossover when I was the young age of 7. Yes, I am a nerd. But, due to the lack of knowing what words were what, my attempts were somewhat lacking.

I first started SW fan-fics two years ago, but that was just pitching ideas.

I am in the process of working on 3-4 Christian Fiction novels that deal with sci-fi issues, but hopefully not overdoing it. We don't find out that Kyle really is God. :P
 * 1) How long have you been a frequent internet user? (In the manner of Web 2.0: where YOU are the person of the year. By the way, congratulations.)

Since, oh, well '97, ten years? I'm hoping it's Time Magazine. The Fatherland. (Nazi) Without them, there wouldn't ba an us, but I don't think we should start rebelling againsy King George III, just yet. :p
 * 1) Do you know where the "YOU are the person of the year" comes from? (If you get this wrong, you need a life outside Star Wars Fanon)
 * 1) What is Wikipedia in relation to Star Wars Fanon? (Interpret it as the first logical whim you get to explain this question)
 * 1) How long should an article be before it gets featured?

I usually hit the&mdash;I can't believe I don't remember the name&mdash;thingy on the side that you hit to scroll down the screen, seven or so times. If it's less and the article is not very well formatted, my vote's against it. Krion was an exception, since it was the first one and MaulYoda isn't showing up for a while to redo it.
 * 1) What is your policy on Mary Sues? (If you discourage them, you are a big fat hypocrite)

The most dangerous greatest things the world has ever seen. Without Superman or Kyle Katarn, the world/Galaxy would be ruled by Lex Luthor/Jerec. :p
 * 1) What is the most important part of the United States Constitution?

All men are created equal.
 * 1) What is the most important part of the Star Wars Fanon policy list?

Civility. I can't stand users who excessively cuss or disrupt the wiki with their antics.
 * 1) Do you encourage the community working together on articles?

Yes, some of the greatest stories I've written have been with JM76/JD, and hopefully Cosmis' new one coming out will be just as good.
 * 1) Would you encourage the community working together on articles more if your were an admin?

Certainly.
 * 1) How does an admin "help other users" better than any old regular user?

You wouldn't have this position if you weren't trustworthy enough in the wikia admins' minds, true? If someone's been given the powers of an admin, they are usually the people who can look up to and ask questions to. It's that psychological edge that helps, IMO.
 * 1) What's all this de facto stuff about?

I plead the 5th!
 * 1) If Han shot first, does that mean the special editions are a lower level of canon than the first releases?

I think that I close my eyes every time I watch that part.
 * 1) Do you recommend Battlefront II? I might want to get it.

Oh, yes! This game has got it going on. Playing as a Jedi with restrictions that keep you from being a Mary Sue&mdash;KOTOR ring a bell?&mdash;are what makes it great, but don't get me started on the space battles. Superb! You need to get this game, but remember that BF III is coming out sometime soon!
 * 1) Why do all the newcomers whose names start with "Darth" seem to be obsessed with Knights of the Old Republic?

Who isn't?
 * 1) Should any of the types of fanon in Forum:Classes of Fanon be disallowed? (Hint: among the correct answers is "L-fanon.")

Defintely U-Fanon and L-Fanon.
 * 1) Do you feel a sting deep down inside every time you put a delete template on an article that you know was written in good faith? (I do.)

Yes, I've gotta admit it. I feel sorry.
 * 1) Are you aware that cryogenics sterilize cells and effectively kill organic tissue irrevocably with someone the size of a half-human Jedi?

Yes, but due to the fact of Kyle Katarn's blessings and some well-placed Polis Massan scientists, the guy survived to live to a ripe old age of 4,003!
 * 1) How much does a fanon author "own" a page?

Only so much that no one else can use it unless they specifically give permission. Don'tedit/madeby templates get on my nerves, especially when a good writer, Aiddat, has them on his.
 * 1) Seriously, what's the point of POV in a fanon wiki?

Point of view? Well, basic formatting really helps the article, since really biased piece of works rarely do anything but irritate others.
 * 1) Should we link canon topics to Wookieepedia, Wikipedia, or create canon articles here with minor doses of fanon?

Canon articles with fanon.
 * 1) I'm confused... what's so bad about The Phantom Menace?

Most people because of the dialogue, others because they say the Neimoidians/Gungans are kinda really racially-attached, I'll say, to people on Earth, but the major problem that fans don't like is that Jar Jar seems at times to be there for the kids and the idea that Anakin was once a cute, little kid didn't help. I, for one, don't care about any of the above. The dialogue didn't get bad till AOTC. R2-D2!
 * 1) Who is the greatest hero of all Star Wars [canon]? (Hint: NOT Kyle Katarn)
 * 1) How can Star Wars Fanon be more community friendly without losing sight of its purpose? (That means no Myspace)

By only disallowing things that would be detrimental to the site. Haha, the fun begins...
 * 1) How much responsibility do you think the Decreton Lords have? Do they have too much, or too little? At what point is their level of responsibility too much for just one group to handle and needs to be dispersed amongst the community? -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 23:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The DLs have a lot of reponsibility, FAs are very important parts of the site and need to be managed accprdingly. They have just enough power right now. When the DLs start acting like their opinions are the only opinions possible, then it's too much.
 * 1) Should anons be allowed to vote? What about new users? If you see a suspicious string of similar votes by different users, what do you assume (eg. I vote for... I vote for... I vote for...)? How do you handle it?

Anons shouldn't be allowed to vote. Without checkuser, there would be almost no way to tell if someone was voting for something again. New users, yes, please look at C3PO's question for that answer. I assume nothing, but think everything. I go to Angela/Sannse/another wikia admin and ask for a check on each IP. If there is indeed a similar vote, then I inform the user to quit and strikethrough the votes.
 * 1) Do you like CGI or puppet Jabba better?

Puppet, the CGI looked kinda stupid to me.
 * 1) Do you think that Jacen should have turned to the Dark side? What do you think of his fall? What about his possible Sith names?

I, for one, think that Jacen still has an ace up his sleeve. I think he knows he's arrogant and also knows that he can pull this off, but if he doesn't reveal this to someone soon, he will fall. Darth Paxis, it explains what he's trying to do prefectly.
 * 1) What is the difference between a vandal article and a poorly made stub. Should both be deleted?

A Vandal article is one with explicit references to things no one should put here and also has bad grammar, while poorly made stub is just in need of some formatting.
 * 1) Should we delete articles that have little text, but say the article will be improved soon, though the author has been missing for two or more months?

Very little text meaning a stub, maybe an infobox with barely anything filled, and the like? Honestly, I'd leave this to a decision made by the other admins. I'm not swinging either way for this one, which is odd, 'cause I usually have an opinion. :p
 * 1) Where is the line drawn between a Mary Sue and an uber powered up Jedi/Sith who wins most of his battles?

The death and what they have to deal with If they deal with things like family life and fail in that task, or barely so, it wins me. It also has to have a death that isn't just, oh, uber guy died. It has to mean something.
 * 1) What is the part of the US Constitution is most relevant to SWF?

Seperation of powers. Admins are important, yes, but they're not God, they're fallible.
 * 1) Should we be official friends of Wookieepedia?

Only if the feelings mutual.
 * 1) How do you take article criticism?

Very well. If all I'm getting is praise, there's got to be something wrong, because nothing's perfect. An excellent example of this would be MPK's views on my articles. His opinions aren't just, It sucks, I hate it, no, they're very well conducted and get the point across. As I recall, one of them was your fault.
 * 1) Who's better, R2-D2 or HK-47?

Tough one, R2-D2 by a small margin. Both are awesome characters, but nobody really saves the Galaxy like R2.
 * 1) When do you think Knights of the Old Republic III will come out, if ever? What about Battlefront III?

KOTOR 3 and BF 3= November, a couple of weeks before Christmas.
 * 1) Does Star Wars ever become boring? When it's about vehicles and weapons, I die. I like the idea they're using them, just don't explain how they work to me. You push a button, the starfighter goes vroom.

Comments

 * Thank you C-3PO for nominating me. Much like Jack Phoenix, I too am online frequently and I very much enjoy helping out on this Wikia. It's the only one I truly contribute too, even though I am registered on a few others. Star Wars, if of course, the best, and I wish to make the best of SWFanon. My main goal, 2nd only to finishing ALL of my articles (which might take awhile, but I'm getting there) is to make this community better by deleting pointless articles, improving those that need help and basically getting around to helping newer users get started. That is all, and thanks again.

Questions

 * What would you do if you were an admin?
 * As you Star Wars Fanon Administrator (lol), my first order of business would be going through the Special:Shortpages and deleting all blank or articles that were requested to be deleted. Secondly, I'd begin to organize articles by fixing double redirects and then moving on to categorize all pages. Of course, I'd reverse vandalism and ban/delete them too. There is many things I'd do, but I would surely help out as much as possible.
 * A new user creates an article that is mostly gibberish, illogical, and very, very, hard to read. However, he gets very defensive when others try to fix his article or make improvements. He tells the admins (in this case, you) that he's being picked on and that they constantly make fun of his article. How do you respond? -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 23:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I respond to the new user by telling him that anyone who was editing his article was only trying to help him out by correcting bad grammar/spelling/other writing errors and by making the article fit to the standards of the manual of style. If he had any questions I would answer them and offer my help to the article as well, or at least teach him what the manual of style is and how an article should be formatted. I would also let him know not to be so defensive if someone is trying to help out, because in this community everyone is supposed to help everyone. However, if the other users were actually making fun of him/flaming him, I would make sure that those users would be warned (and perhaps punished) for flaming the new user and have them make their peace with formal apologies.


 * Well, you asked for it. (The following slightly modified from Wookieepedia...)


 * 1) Why do you want to become an administrator?
 * I want to become an administrator so that way I can have greater advantages in blocking vandals and immediately stopping VIP. Also, I can instantly look through the short pages and delete what is up for deletion/requested for deletion, and if a user has a question, such as "can you please delete so and so of mine", I would gladly help them just as the current admins have helped me in the past.


 * 1) In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?
 * The role of the admin is (pretty much summarized in the above answer) to stop vandalism indefinitely (blocking vandals), help out the community, delete non sense and try to fix errors in pages (some feats which I can do as a regular user now).


 * 1) In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?
 * They have both; political as a user, since they help out by expressing their views and with consensus. They have a technical position as well because they have a slight technical advantage over other users with the ability to block vandals and delete vandal's articles, or simply help a user do something a regular user cannot do, as long as it's not against the rules.


 * 1) How do you feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?
 * Well, they have the advantages I stated above, but other than that, most users are all equal because they all have equal voice (as long as they're there to voice their opinion).


 * 1) Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * No, no one has pushed me that far yet. Yet.


 * 1) Of your articles or contributions to Star Wars Fanon, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * Yes! Narod Antrell, because when I came to SWFanon I was finally able to express myself as a Jedi.


 * 1) What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?
 * Deleting the nonsense articles, unused images and categories, filling in red links, fixing double redirects, blocking vandals.


 * 1) How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?
 * Very important, to give your opinion on how such things should be ran.


 * 1) Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?
 * Well, then they should be discussed and judged by the community whether or not they were out of line/unconstitutional. IF they were out of line, then they should be warned appropriately, such as not to abuse the power again.


 * 1) What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?
 * My policy is to add the Hello template to each new user, and I would like to help them out in any contributions they've made that need help. However, if it's an anonymous IP, then I would suggest they join in they are contributing.


 * 1) How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?
 * I would react depending on the situation. If the user had not broken the policy and I simply made the error, I'd apologize for deleting it. However, if the Admin undeleted an article that was non sense, I'd state my reasons why I deleted it in the first place and show that I did not just "speedied" it. I would undelete an article if it was wrongly deleted; such as someone thinking that an article was all canon but it really wasn't.


 * 1) How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?
 * I would simply revert it, block the vandal if it was extreme enough. Such as throwing out racial slurs at me, or any other user. If recurring vandalism occured, I might consider protecting the page until things cooled off.


 * 1) Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?
 * Breaking rules, such as flaming other users and making threats, etc. Anything that breaks rules and is severe. The sockpuppet accounts of an established user would be immediately banned, and if the user kept on creating sockpuppet accounts I would warn the user. If the user doesn't comply, he'd be warned for a reasonable amount of time.


 * 1) If you could change any one thing about Star Wars Fanon, what would it be?
 * Honestly, the logo (Wiki.png).


 * 1) Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?
 * Half full.


 * 1) Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?
 * No, it's fine as it is. It should just always be enforced when/where necessary.


 * 1) Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Star Wars Fanon IRC chat?
 * Yes, however most of the time when I take a peek in the IRC, no one is on


 * 1) How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars wiki communities (Wookieepedia, for instance) trying to change policies here?
 * I'd let them voice their opinions, and have the community decide what is best in their eyes.


 * 1) How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)
 * 7 trillion.


 * 1) Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note: The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)
 * Um… Katarn.


 * 1) Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?
 * Not officially. Who says socialism is bad?


 * 1) What's more important to you: consensus or policy?
 * They're both important. Many users get together to voice their opinion and vote (consensus), and it could eventually become policy to help improve SWFanon.


 * 1) Have you had any previous leadership experience (in your community, on the web, etc.)?
 * I've been the head of many school projects.

Now my own:


 * 1) When do you think Star Wars Fanon should link to Wookieepedia canon articles for possible context?
 * I believe that anyone has the right to link to wookieepedia for their articles, but why not create an article here about that wookieepedia article (as long as Fanon is added to it)


 * 1) Blocking users... deleting pages... keeping articles from being able to have improvement from the common user... what can an admin do that's constructive?
 * Block when necessary, review pages that are up for deletions, and allow the community to help out in any article they wish, as long as it doesn't interferes with the original author's "story" without their permission.


 * 1) Why do you want more questions?
 * As the leading SysOp candidate, I believe that I should have the chance to express my answers too.


 * 1) Are you in a timezone that is not usually covered by the current admins? (Hint: Jedi Master 76 is from California, Bub is also in California, and I am... in the United States. If you want more hints, sannse is from England, Angela is also from England, Neomessiah is probably from California. )
 * My timezone is Pacific time, same as JM76, Bub, and Neomessiah. However, often times I stay up at night, which is when the English are online.


 * 1) Do you think Darth tader really botched one of his questions? How should he have responded?
 * Yeah, #3. He should've said the truth (read my answer for reference)


 * 1) Do you think Jack Phoenix really botched on of his questions? How should he have responded? (Answer when Jack Phoenix answers his questions)
 * Will answer in time.


 * 1) What are your views on the First Amendment?
 * That's the best amendment in our constitution.


 * 1) Which is more important to you; cleanup or delete?
 * Cleanup first, then delete if not cleaned up.


 * 1) Which would you have put on Ongiong Univers?
 * Que?


 * 1) Do you remember what wretched article Ongiong Univers was?
 * No.


 * 1) Do you have nightmares about DV?
 * I didn't experience his reign of evil, so no.


 * 1) Going to Category:Articles for immediate deletion by typing the whole thing in the "search" bar, going through each article on the list, checking the history to validate its candidacy for deletion, hitting the tab that says "blast" (yeah, I changed it to say "blast"), typing in a really good reason for the article being deleted so nobody can contest it, and hitting the button on each of the articles in the category can be VERY tedious. If you were to clear the list, would you stick to that process or would you admittedly take a few shortcuts? In other words, what is more important to you, getting the job done or doing the job perfectly within the boundaries of custom and validation?
 * Getting the job done rightfully.


 * 1) Do you protest the "in other words" because you have a few shortcuts that should work just as reliably as the longer way? (PLEASE tell me!!!)
 * "Being lazy or doing your job"?


 * 1) Do you know why so many usernames here start with "Darth?"
 * Kids like to be "Darths".


 * 1) Where is your leader?
 * I am my leader.


 * 1) Would you change the MediaWiki pages needed to advise new users on the Special:Creataccount page to stop using "Darth" because it is so passe?
 * I would suggest not having Darth, so they can have a totally unique name, but I can't stop them.


 * 1) Do you think political parties are evil? (Note: the only correct answer is "yes.")
 * Yes.


 * 1) Do you think we shouldn't use terms like "inclusionism" and "deletionism" because they are kind of like political parties?
 * I don't think they should be used because they aren't words.


 * 1) When do you go on Star Wars Fanon in respect to your daily life?
 * Quite often in fact.


 * 1) Do you think the sysop election page should be put on Sitenotice?
 * Not necessary, but would be a good idea.


 * 1) Do you think so because you think you'll get more votes?
 * Well, it's up to the community. I've never asked a single person to vote for me, they did it on their own free will. So seeing it on the sitenotice wouldn't change much, unless they WANT to vote for me.


 * 1) Do you not think so because you think Darth tader will get more votes than he deserves from the newcomers?
 * Well, I didn't say I don't think so. But I don't believe SysOp candidates should go around asking users to vote for them; like I said above, people will make their own choice.


 * 1) Do you think bureaucrats should have veto power when presented with an admin candidate?
 * Well, do bureaucrats run this show? Let me know, so I can answer you.


 * 1) How many "THIS IS MINE YOU CAN'T EDIT IT BUT YOU MAY WORSHIP MY ARTICAL" templates do you think we need?
 * Honestly none. I'm honestly tired of those, and if star wars fanon is not anyone's, then those templates should be forever banned. Only template that should exist is the madeby template, to show who originally started an article, but not exactly posses ownership since SWFanon is under the GFDL.


 * 1) Do you think there should be a big ceremony attached to appointing admins instead of discreetly pressing a special button and coming as a surprise for the newly appointed admin?
 * Well, not really. But that'd be nice.


 * 1) Who shot first? (Note: NKSCF got this question right)
 * Han.


 * 1) Who is the greatest hero of all of Star Wars [canon]? (Note: It is NOT Kyle Katarn)
 * Skywalker, Luke.


 * 1) Who is the greatest hero of all of Star Wars [fanon]? (Note: It sounds narcissistic to say Narod)
 * No one, because in everyone's mind there is a different hero. (But in my opinion, Narod )

I want to be an administrator, simply because I think that I would be able to better serve the community as an admin, than as a regular user. I promise to be tough, but fair on issues such as vandalism and spamming.

Support

 * 1) I believe you would make a great admin. You have my support.
 * 2) Heck yes.
 * 3) Shouldn't it be, "I promise to be fair, but tough on issues such as vandalism and spamming?" -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 00:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments
Please post any comments or questions you may have. I'd really appreciate any feedback the community has for me, I'm no telepath. Thanks guys, your support means a lot to me. As for the quote, I meant I wont go to hard (i.e. Banning a first-time spammer or VERY minor vandal infinite) or easy (i.e. Banning a big time site-wide vandal for a week). I will crush the big vandals without warning, but give the minor, first time offenders a chance to stop.
 * That's what I'd like to see from an admin. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 13:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I misread your comment JM. I will be tough and give fair punishment.

Questions
Would you protect all your friends (Including Me) from spammers, personal attackers and vandals?

I would do my best to protect every user, friend or otherwise.
