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.

CurrentBigThing, 27th May-27th June 2007
To start, I was nominated by Jack Phoenix, I did not "ask". I do wish to become an admin, because I feel this wiki is still falling apart despite the best efforts of our current admins. I will rid this place of all the garbage, and clean out other useless articles. What I have to say is harsh, yes, but it is also the truth. I am not here to "play nice", I love this wiki as much as the next user, and for these reasons, I want to clean it up, so we can become more respected. I will answer questions, however I will not answer ones irrelevant to my plans on here. Do not look for an answer to questions such as, "Who is the greatest hero in Star Wars?" or "Who shot first?". They have absolutely no bearing on my ability to administer this website. If I am made an administrator, I will clean this place up. No, I don't have any previous administration experience on wiki, however, in the REAL world, where things like that matter, I am known as an honest and trustworthy man. Sometimes rookies are the best candidates, becuase they are not afraid to jump head first into new things.

 * 2) He'll be a great admin.
 * 3) Has definitely shown his worth, as possibly the most truthful user on these boards. Will definitely make a good admin; he's already proved his worth. SV undefined
 * 4) Even though we have our share of fights I respected his veiws.TroybTalk contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 19:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Not to be mean CBT, and I hope we don't become enemies or anything, I just don't believe you're ready yet. First of all, you haven't been here very long. You just started this year. Secondly, yes, I have friends, and they help me with a lot of stuff. Squishy Vic is your friend, yes, and I believe he nominated you because you and him are friends. Now, if I am nominated by Troyb or Pinky49 or somebody, yeah, you all can oppose me all you want for the same reason, okay?&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 18:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, I didn't nominate him. Pheonix did. SV undefined
 * He's still your friend.&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 18:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I didn't nominate him because we're friend. Jack nominated him because Jack believes CBT is a good user. SV undefined
 * Just leave me alone.&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests HSM Wiki [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 18:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. SV undefined
 * 1) A bit too harsh for my tastes. Bub 22:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

"A bit too harsh for my tastes."

- Bub 22:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and what are your tastes? An administrator that just sits idly, and does not speak his mind concerning events happening on the wiki?


 * 1) I am not sure, but I kind of do agree with Bub.

Comments
Tyler is just angry because I completely crushed his little clan uprising he and his friends thought they were starting.
 * What?&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 18:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Enough; this won't turn into an argument on this page. Take it to the talk pages, and please no personal attacks. SV undefined Welp he doesn't mind speaking his mind and he won't pacify things for anyone.He has my vote.

Questions
-- Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library The following questions have been asked by Squishy Vic. SV undefined
 * If you became a admin what would you do?TroybTalk contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 19:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Eliminate the garbage from this wiki, such as articles that have improvement templates on them that haven't been edited in over 2 months. Also, I would delete articles with no information (AKA onlyinfobox).  The list really goes on Troy.
 * How would you improve the community by your Adminship?
 * Remove the worthless articles, and basically clean up. This wiki is in desperate need of cleanup.
 * What would you change about this site (one thing) as Admin?
 * Change the policies on articles. I beleive we are too lenient with some of them.  (I won't reveal my plan, as I don't want any other admin taking credit for it.  You'll just have to trust me.)
 * Will you promote IRC meets as Admin?
 * I will do my best in promoting any community events.
 * A vandal vandalizes an article by blanking the page and replacing it with "poop". How long do they deserve to be banned?


 * One Day, but perhaps a warning would be better.
 * A user tries to nominate an FA article, even though the article hasn't been a good article yet (which is now a requirement). You remove the nomination, but he is persistent and refuses to listen to you, and continues to nominate the article. How should he be punished (or not)?

(A warning at first, then a minor ban.)
 * Inform him of the policies regarding articles and request that he bring it to the GA forum. Add that if he continues to defy the administrators he will be punished.


 * A user creates an account and begins to write some articles. He then gets vandalized; in retaliation, the user vandalizes the vandals pages back. How do you handle the situation?


 * Inform the vandalized user that two wrongs don't make a right, and the vandal that if he continues his vandalism he will be dealt with accordingly.

Have you had previous admin experience? Pinky49 Talk
 * Not on the web. But I oversaw my confirmation class, organizing us and keeping us on track.  (This next part may help) - When I was in school, if the teachers had to step out, I was the one they placed in charge, if no other authority figure was available.

Support

 * 1) Very good user and should've been an admin a while ago.
 * 2) Per above. SV undefined

Have you had any previous admin experience? Pinky49 Talk
 * How would you improve the community by your Adminship?
 * I would block vandals, delete worthless articles (specifically only infobox articles, our main problem these days), and protect pages in need of protection.
 * What would you change about this site (one thing) as Admin?
 * I would change the fact that our database is full of worthless articles. I would clean some of them up, or delete them.
 * Will you promote IRC meets as admin?
 * Of course. Anything that helps this community I will promote.
 * Not really, besides the infamous "Star Wars Fanon Base" (aka 313). But I have been on here for over a year.
