Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship/Archive/LordDeathRay

The following is an archive of LordDeathRay retracted request for administrative rights, from February 15 to March 1, 2010.

Oppose

 * 1) I like you. You don't cause trouble and diligently work on your articles. The only problem that you've had is the fact that you're banned from uploading images because you violated the image policy so many times. That said, I don't think you're ready to be an administrator, chiefly because you're not really involved in the community all that much. You've voted in GA and FA nominations, the fifth wiki awards, and the short story contest, but that was only a few times. You have less than 35 total edits in the forum namespace (policy discussions, etc.), the Star Wars Fanon namespace (GANs and FANs, etc.), and the CS namespace (article reviews) combined. Outside of that, I also don't think we need anymore administrators at this point in time. We seem to be doing pretty well right now with the group we currently have. This is not a no forever, but rather a no for now. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 23:03, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Rhea. You are a good user, but not a heavy contributor like an administrator should be. Also, like Rhea said, we really don't have the need for any admins right now. Perhaps in time the need will arise, and perhaps it will be you if you become more active/involved. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I would have to agree with my fellow users here. Don't worry about wishing for being an admin just yet, but instead use this time to reflect on what it takes to become an admin and be a more active member of the community. I wish you luck on your next nomination. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 23:48, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I agree with the users above. You're a good, active user, but being an admin is much more than that.--Bluethunder Talk 00:54, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Per Rhea. ---Ping(JediCommando) 23:18, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I'm at a neutral ground here. You help other users such as Mal-man and Master snie, but you rarely participate in the community. Darth Gheis (Talk) 01:27, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Questions

 * 1) What process do you go through to decide if an article should be deleted?
 * 2) *Answer: I would read it, and put templates on top of the page citing what needs to be fixed. If the problems are not fixed within a certain amount of time (ex. 1 month), then I'll delete it. If the user was on vacation, etc. I'll bring it back and give him/her time to fix the article.
 * 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) *Answer: I'd try to fix it myself.
 * 5) How much time do you normally spend on Star Wars Fanon in a day?
 * 6) *Answer: I try not to be on Star Wars Fanon for more than a few hours. I have to excercise, play video games, go somewhere, etc.
 * 7) What, in your view, is the role of an administrator?
 * 8) *Answer: Someone who helps users, becomes active in the community, deletes articles when necesary, and blocks users when necesary. They are basically the 'police' (sort of) of Star Wars Fanon.
 * 9) When should a user be blocked from editing? Is the blocking policy lenient, restrictive, or just right in your opinion?
 * 10) *Answer: A user should be blocked when; A: given countless warnings, makes personal threats against another user, posts anything related to porn, etc.
 * 11) What is the difference between a poorly-written stub and an article that should be put up for a vote for deletion?
 * 12) *Answer: A poorly written stub is a stub, which will eventually be expanded by the author. An article put up for deletion, is an article that; has so many errors, is spam, has unnecesary content, is completely canon, or author's request.
 * 13) What is the difference between an article that should be put up for a vote for deletion and an article for immediate deletion?
 * 14) *Answer: Being put up for immediate deletion is when an article has fatal flaws, while being put on a vote is when the community decides.
 * 15) Should admins try to fix bad articles before deleting them?
 * 16) *Answer: They should, as every article needs a chance. But there are some articles that have many errors in them, and have to be put for deletion. Other times, the admin tells the author to read the Manual of Style, and learn on his own.
 * 17) Should normal users try to fix other people's bad articles?
 * 18) *Answer: If they don't remove a specific thing, then yes. Also no, because the author has to learn on his own after a while.
 * 19) What is your favorite Star Wars film? SPOILER ALERT: The answer is not Attack of the Clones.
 * 20) *Answer: They are all good. I can't pick a favorite.
 * 21) And above all, why do you think you should be an administrator?
 * 22) *Answer: I participate in article making, talk pages, etc. I help users such as Mal-man and Master snie. And I want to help the wiki.
