Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship/Archive/Xwing327

The following is an archive of Xwing327's unsuccessful request for admininstrative rights, from September 13, 2008 to October 22, 2008.

September 13 - October 22, 2008
Support

Oppose


 * 1) You have been inactive and per Obi-maul. I have not really seen you do much community wise. --Arav the Undersith (Contact Me ) (My contributions ) 01:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely not. I know Wing from the SWRP, and his behaviour there has led me to believe that he doesn't know when to act seriously, and when to act in a mature, intelligent way. He's had long spells of inactivity, and there's no way I'd trust a guy who sockpuppeted about a million times and made many personal attacks. Okay, you did admit it, but I'm never going to trust you fully after that, for a very long time. Your behaviour, which, admittedly, hasn't been so bad here, has shone through in a bad way on the SWRP, and I can't trust you to do such a job. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 06:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) * I'd just like to point out that his behavior does seem to have improved since his ban; he hasn't made any personal attacks. Regardless, he isn't ready. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 16:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) He was to prove himself worthy for the job first. My objections are the same as the voters above. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 16:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) I saw that you asked on my talk page what I'd do if you ran for Admin. Well, here's my answer: STRONG OPPOSE. If you honestly thought I would support this after how you've acted on SWRP, which you have not made up for, then you don't know anything about me at all. Just taking Star Wars Fanon into consideration, you're barely active at all. "You just came back and saw that we need an Administrator" doesn't qualify you to be an Administrator. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 22:29, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Per above. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Interactions on IRC tell me this is not someone I would trust with giant blue buttons of power. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) Who are you? What have you done for the site? What are your goals? Can you answer any of these questions? Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 00:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Nope. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 15:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Neutral


 * I really can't say a whole lot, considering I don't know Xwing that well, but I'm not sure if I'd support this nom considering this. I also really haven't seen you contribute that much lately; but I do give you some respect for at least admitting that you were sockpuppeting (you could've just not said anything and most likely have gotten away with it). -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 21:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Per Joe. Wing hasn't been active for months, and, though it may be because I only registered in March, I haven't seen him to anything that shows he would be capable as an admin. He needs to at least contribute to the community some more instead of nominating himself the first day he comes back. GAs aren't enough to make someone an admin.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 21:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *Right. A person could have fifty GA's or FA's, but if they aren't doing any thing community-wise, I flat-out wouldn't vote for them (of course, I'd give them props for their articles). -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 23:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Has been inactive for awhile. --Victortalk 01:37, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Per all above. Unit 8311 (Talk) 11:03, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments


 * Well, I have decided to come back and I see a need an administrators. Let's see. I have been here two years, I have had two FAs and a GA, and currently I have two GAs. I have been inactive recently, every now and then checking on the site. When active, I vote on policies, edit random pages, maintain if you will, this site as much as a member can, as I have done every now and then since 2006. I had an anger problem in the summer of 2007 and was banned. I returned and was allowed to stay. Although I couldn't vote and I was on parole, I contributed and got a GA. Eventually I received my voting privileges and returned to full member status. I have returned from a writer's block and now that I have more time to be here, I will be here. I am open to any questions you may have.  Wing   msg 21:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback guys. I hope within a few weeks I can prove to you I am ready for this and to help maintain this site.  Wing   msg 14:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt that you could do enough in a few weeks to atone for all that's not admin material about you. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 15:50, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 16:51, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Questions

Everyone seems to regard Xwing as the village idiot here at SWFanon (that's the impression I get, anyway), but I must confess that the only crime he's committed that I am aware of is the sockpuppet fiasco. Everyone's comments on him seem to imply that he's done more, and I'd like to know what these things are. If anyone could compile a list of his other offenses, thereby dispelling my confusion on this matter, I would be appreciative. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 21:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I think a major reason why he is regarded as he is, is because of Rhea's opinion of him. Since Brandon holds so much weight here, and since most people on this site were not around for the fiasco with Xwing on the SWRP, I think that people just listen to Brandon, which, as you see above, and in other places, his opinion of Xwing isn't that great. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 21:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * What happened at the SWRP? -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 22:00, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I myself don't regard Wing as the "village idiot"; on the contrary, even after what I've heard of him from SWRP, I would still consider supporting him if he showed himself capable of being an admin, which he has not. He came back after being gone for months and immediately nominated himself. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to rattle through the long list of everything that has gone towards forming my opinion in public. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 22:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Why not? Surely you could summarize the SWRP incident, if nothing else. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 22:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Very well. I said this when he ran for High Priest a few months ago. He's changed on SWRP since then, but not enough for me. Now for my ploy: register and become an active member on SWRP and find out for yourself. - Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 22:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * All right, thanks for explaining, Brandon. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 22:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Drewton; based on Wing's behavior on here since his return, I don't think he's a bad guy. He has acted maturely, and has some nice articles, too. However, I have heard some things about his behavior on the SWRP; but I'm not going to form an opinion on him based on his time spent on another website. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 22:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

For the record, I was a deciding admin during his sockpuppet fiasco and that has nothing to do with whether or not he'd be a good admin, least not for me. Second, I voted neutral because I hold no opinion towards Wing really, other than the fact that "he's been inactive for awhile" being the reason why I am neutral. --Victor talk 22:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
