Star Wars Fanon:Request for Archivistship/Archive/Vagrant Lustoid

The following is an archive of Vagrant Lustoid's successful request for Archivistship, from October 17, 2008 to October 23, 2008.

Support

 * 1) Vagrant Lustoid first approached me about the position on IRC, and I told him that I would give him the same screening process as I'd given Katana Geldar. The fact that he volunteered means a lot, and I can personally attest to the quality of his writing. It's more than sufficient, even if he's not had the time to put the tweaks on it and post it. He's also stated that he has plenty of time to handle this job and fully understands the responsibility. Therefore, I endorse this individual for the review board.

 * 2) If Ataru thinks he's good for it, then I'll support him. Since this will be hard work, much harder than simply reviewing articles, we need everyone who wants to join, IMO. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Good guy, looks like the one for the job. &mdash;  JM ' 76 ' Ask Archives [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|18px]] 01:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) It's a support, but not a full one. It has nothing to do with Vagrant's abilities to do the job, but because I haven't seen him do much in this regard. I'm just going by Ataru's standards here. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 02:20, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Per my comments below. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 03:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Sorry, but he has to behave himself first. See this. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 13:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *All I see is good faith edit with a sarcastic comment, which, FYI, means "uninspiring and dull" (definition of lame). Since when can't we say that? ;) --Victor [[Image:Vic sig logo.png|15px]] talk 19:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **Our definitions of sarcastism is subjective and a dictionary can't really do a good job of incorporating everyone's concept of the word lame. I find that for me at least (you don't have to agree with me), it implies a harsher meaning than bad, silly, or nonsense. It's like the word "hate", which implies a stronger meaning of the word "dislike". I just don't want users attacking other user's articles with words of that intensity. There's also the fact that he added extra letters to lame to place emphasis on the word. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 19:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) * #I really don't think simply volunteering and having written a story are good enough. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 16:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **No offense, but you pretty much said that after you were able to vote again, you would accept a nomination for this board (see here). You have nothing to do with fan fiction and you haven't been able to participate in a vote for months, but you did say you were somewhat active in Good article nominations which have absolutely nothing to do with this. If being somewhat active in a totally unrelated nomination process, without the ability to vote, and having nothing to do with fan fiction, which is what Featured works is about, makes you qualified for this position, how is Vagrant not qualified? I'm not saying this in a negative sense, but it's just to question your reasoning in a good-natured discussion. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 19:16, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ***Obi maul12, I say that he fits the basic job description, but I only have one objection. I just don't want users telling other users that their articles are lame. Other than that, he'll be a good reviewer, but I can't have users placing "lame" in their reviews. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 19:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) ****Ataru has used words stronger than "lame" in reviews, if I remember correctly, more than once but you didn't oppose him. Vagrant uses the word "lame" once, yet that qualifies for an opposition? - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) *Sorry, but that's because I wasn't aware Ataru did that. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 19:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It wasn't hidden (it was quite public, in fact), but fair enough. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) *It didn't say it was hidden; I said that I didn't know. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 20:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll admit I shouldn't have told Arav yes. However, I still feel the same about this; I don't like nominating users just for the sake of nominating them and having them elected. I feel the nominee should have a true connection to the position. I don't feel that Vagrant really has that connection. And one other thing: the fact that I wasn't able to vote for months wasn't because I made some nasty personal attack against someone; we both know that my little slip-up wasn't anything big (of course, I am thankful you didn't ban me for 6 months.) Anyway, I just don't think this would work. --  Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 20:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I think Ataru has established himself as someone who isn't going to nominate someone just for the sake of nominating them. He is, without a doubt, the harshest critic of this website. My point of view on this one is that if he feels Vagrant is good enough for his (Ataru's) personal creation, then that's very telling. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea...and no....and...well...I see what you're saying. I just don't think this specific user is qualified enough, and I just want this to go well. I'll have to say I'm neutral. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 21:13, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) *If you're neutral than scratch your opposition and set up a neutral section. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:23, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) **Dang, you're good. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 03:24, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
