Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship/Archive/Trak Nar

The following is an archive of Trak Nar's retracted request for administrative rights, from August 13, 2009 to August 14, 2009.

Support

 * 1) Trak is a wonderful editor. She is one of the few who has actually taken it upon herself to improve the quality of the wiki by cleaning up articles that require a cleanup, in regards to spelling, grammar, formatting, and other things of the like. She and I also share a similar philosophy regarding deletion, which I am pleased to see because that also helps to improve the quality of the wiki. She has some great ideas, and I’ve been hoping she would accept a nomination for awhile now. She has now accepted it. I know that, if elected, Trak will be a great administrator, and I will be happy to welcome her onto the team. We clearly need more competent people on the administrative staff considering the minimal number of administrators and active administrators we have. Tl;dr version - called and said I was sexist for not nominating more women to be administrators, since Solus is our only one. I’m nominating Trak to avoid a feminist lawsuit.

Comments

 * Not sure about this one. Trak makes between five and ten minor edits a day, which is not enough to warrant adminship, imo, which actually means I'm leaning towards opposing this. Still, I'm gonna think about it for a little while. - Joe   (talk) 06:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * After having time to sit and think about it, and considering my very intense bias towards bad ideas... I'd be afraid of abusing the power. I'd much rather avoid temptation and stick with being an editor.  I'm not as active as I could be, and when I accepted the nomination, I was tired and somewhat distracted.  I don't wanna put myself in a position in which I have the power to make really bad ideas mysteriously vanish.  So I'd like to retract the nomination.

Questions

 * 1) What process do you go through to decide if an article should be deleted?
 * 2) If you were to redesign the Hello template, what, if anything, would you change about it?
 * 3) If you disagree with an admin's decision, would you trust that admin's judgment, contact the admin and call the issue to attention, or try to fix it yourself?
 * 4) How much time do you normally spend on Star Wars Fanon in a day?
 * 5) What is the role of an administrator?
 * 6) When should a user be blocked from editing? Is the blocking policy lenient, restrictive, or just right in your opinion?
 * 7) What is the difference between a poorly-written stub and an article that should be put up for a vote for deletion?
 * 8) What is the difference between an article that should be put up for a vote for deletion and an article for immediate deletion?
 * 9) Should admins try to fix bad articles before deleting them?
 * 10) Should normal users try to fix other people's bad articles?
 * 11) What is your favorite Star Wars film? HINT: The answer is not Attack of the Clones.
