Star Wars Fanon talk:Requests for adminship/Archive1


 * Post your comments here

Ahem....I think Ewoksfist should be an admin. -Di'e Go Am'er'ez

Why doesn't it mention TempMan?
 * Where the hell is Da Man anyway?

If i had admin i would destroy anyone who would vandalize my pages like how Jonny The Vandal and Willy On Wheels did. Thank goodness Jonny and Willy got banned and blocked by editing. In canon they take they get carried away with their admin. but if i had admin i wuold be sure that never happens.
 * Uh, Wikimaniac, actually Johnny isn't blocked. TempMan | Talk 17:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem is: WHO GIVES ADMIN STATUS TO USERS? I'll try to ask Angela. TempMan | Talk 11:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Any of the Wikia staff can grant admin status; usually the community staff (Angela, sannse, KJ, and myself) will do it. Can you guys discuss among yourselves a little more about who would be good choices and agree on a list of people who should be admins? We'll keep stopping by to see how it's going and push the buttons when you're ready! Mindspillage (spill yours?) 15:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, let's discuss. But, uhm, it seems i'll have to wait before the others come in. TempMan | Talk 18:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Uhhh...could you explain the voting procedure with a little more detail? - comment posted by IP 69.xxx (Diego Amerez?)

Remember to Log In, it makes communication easier Right now i was thinking of two possible methods: 1 - giving a value to every vote, based on the alignment (support is equal to +1, oppose is equal to -1, and neutral is equal to 0) and if the sum of the three alignments is greater than X (we decide the number), we assign the candidate admin status. Example, +1*50 s + (-1)*20 o + 0*10 n = 30, if 30 is greater than X, then the candidate is elected.

2 - Another method would be a Wikipedia model, the candidate must get X% (we decide the number) of supporting votes to be elected, where opposing and neutral votes are mostly used to comment why you feel the candidate shouldn't be elected. Example, 75 s, 20 o and 5 n would give 75/100 = 75% of consensus, and if 75% is greater than X%, the candidate is elected.

--TempMan | Talk 06:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

So what is the value of X in this instance? And how many times is a user allowed to vote? It seems that many users voted for more than one person. C3PO the Dragon Slayer

It is only an example. On the English Wikipedia a candidate is elected only if he gets more than 80% of support votes. But it seems the community is counting every single vote, and who gets more is going to become a sysop but unfortunately our bureaucrat is gone, and the response below is not the best we can get. TempMan | Talk 17:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Trouble
Response from Angela:
 * I'm not going to unblock anyone who has been involved in page move vandalism, and I'm not going to make vandals into sysops. TempMan is Johnny the Vandal. Wikimaniac is the same user as Ewoksfist and has at least 6 other usernames. Angela (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Now, this is REALLY strange She means i AM Johnny, and that Ewoksfist is a fake user. And she says Wikimaniac has at least six other accounts. Just wait a while and we'll see that Wikimaniac is also Willy on Wheels TempMan | Talk 07:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

FALSE. It would be more likely for it to be some other user. Remember i only have ONE account. I am not Ewoksfist or Willy On Wheels. Remember that. I am my own user. that theory of Tempman being johnny sounds more true than That. Besides i wanted WOW to.

Try to tell that to Angela on Wikia! I'm curious to see if she assumes good faith... oh, we can also ask Mindspillage... Anyway i've discovered WHO acted as Johnny... my fucking brother, damn... we have two different PCs but they are connected via LAN and he is the host... and the IPs are identical, it seems (the Whois says so) So if Angela used the CheckUser she saw the two IPs to be identical  No one will believe this, probably, but it's the truth  TempMan | Talk 22:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

User Votes
I vote Pinata because he is great at correcting pages. I also vote for myself because i would make sure that no user gets carried away with the delete and block log. Tell me how you feel for me voting for you Pinata. - Wikimaniac

Wow. I'm honored. Thanks a lot. I've never wielded any sort of power on a Wiki before (in fact, I'm fairly new to the whole Wiki thing... only been doing it 5 months or so), but if you want to vote for me still that's great. --Pinata 15:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I would vote for myself as well as the others I have voted for, but it just doesn't seem right. If I become an admin I will block all vandals (such as WOW), and improve pages to the best of my ability. Ewoksfist 23:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I think I would do a good pretty good job, I think I'll give myself a vote (seeing how I have almost no back-up). But I really think Aiddat should be an admin. MaulYoda and Di'e Go Am'er'ez would be effective admins. I also have to admit that Wikimaniac is doing a much better job than he was before, I have some bashing to remove. Ewoksfist 03:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Number of Administrators
We need more than 3 or 4 administrators. Whoever volunteered should be made an administrator because if this site has a small community, then we need at least 8-10 administrators. --MaulYoda 03:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

AT LAST SOME IMPROVEMENTS! TempMan | Talk 13:02, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Huge Vandilizer
I've been spending the past hour cleaning up this wiki from a user by the name of Fuckface. If I'm elected a sysop, I'll ban him and his IP. --MaulYoda 21:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

You have my vote. I think that a vandal like that should always be IP banned. Ewoksfist 03:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that a user like that should always be IP tracked. We can find out where he lives and kill him. --Pinata 13:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't find humour in that. Killing is not funny. Ewoksfist 18:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Well... MaulYoda 00:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Can I be the hitman? Gnosis is knowledge 16:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I reported that sick vandal

If you elect me I promise that this site will be clean and free from vandal. All administrators especially me will shape this place up and bring balance to the star wars fanon universe. If your against Fuckface and what i guess is his so called F Word empire than vote for me and also vote for MaulYoda i support him greatly in this crusade! The ANTI-Vandalist will win this Vandal war...and well also win the second. Zotoros Infinite

Another Vandal
Today, another vandal attacked my account. He was at first under my username, he made a clone account which is illegal, but has been changed to The Evil Clone. We need sysops or else we have no protection. MaulYoda

Agreed. As many vandal problems as we seem to be having, we're going to need a much larger staff than we do now.--Pinata 16:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal Wars Get Help, If You Help Him
I Zotoros Infinite have joined the list of Vandal Poachers and commanders of the Anti-Vandal users. I am dedicated fully to freeing this site from those evil candalists. Please both for me to be administrator and ill ban any vandal before they even get here. Zotoros Infinite 01:28 AM, 7 June 2006

You can't do that, though. If you ban a vandal before they do anything is abusive. Gnosis is knowledge 14:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Stop advertising yourself as the best candidate for admin. Even if someone nominated you (probably another account controlled by you), you would never get elected. You haven't done anything for SW Fanon except make a few articles. If you notice, most of the nominees on the page have done many things good for fanon, like the main page, vandal combat, categorizing, and such. Your account was made 6/6/06, today in the Americas. You have practically no experience, either. Gnosis is knowledge 17:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

And not to mention, you don't just put yourself on the list of commanders, you have to earn it. I've fought four or five vandals and Gnosis and the other anti-vandal users have done the same. MaulYoda

We Need Sysops!
Although I missed it, I hear that this HUGE vandal attack by Darth Insect hit this page and it can be described as an all out war. We need a few users to ask Angela, Mindspillage, and/or sannsae to make people admins or else thie page will suffer. MaulYoda

All out war, you bet. I wish you were here, because Darth Incest was QUICK! He vandalized mine and Ewoksfist's user pages, and at least 2 admins had to delete all the redirects the sick vandal made. Go look at 94 ABY if you want to see how bad he was (or do you already know his sick edits). I'd say Darth Incest is tied with Fuckface as the worst vandal. Gnosis is knowledge 01:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how often you guys visit the page (I'm assuming every day), but we need an admin who visits the site every single day of the year. It's a huge responsibility that requires not only destroying vandals (which I would like to do VERY much) but also editing innappropriate content, deleting junk pages, corresponding with other admins, and basically acting like a mayor. All of you are quite mature for your ages and I'm sure that you'll make good admins, whoever gets elected. However, the summer is just starting, and many of us will be on vacation in places that don't have internet acces (myself included). The burden placed on the shoulders of admins is great. Are you sure you can handle it? -Di'e Go I am only on every other day, and my account was made on 5/20/06, so I don't think I could become an admin. My major contribution is the categories and vandalism wars, so I applied as a vandal poacher. But if anyone nominates me, I'd accept. Gnosis is knowledge 02:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think I've made enough contributions and are on enough to be an admin. I'm on virtually everyday, sometimes even at school. MaulYoda 02:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm on a lot (once or twice every weekday), and at 27 am likely one of the older people here, so if I get enough votes for someone to want to make me an admin I'll probably be able to do it. I'm going out of town next week, but when I get back I plan to get caught up quickly and help fix things if we're still under attack by vandals. --Pinata 22:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Elect me and I will to be honest, be a vandal destoyer/page fixer and thats about it. Thats the 100% truth. I may be homeschooled but I still have a social life. I go to church and there's a girl I like that I'm going to ask out. Sorry if I disappointed anyone with this news. Ewoksfist 23:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I got nominated?! Thanks to whoever did that. I will have to take a break in the first part of July, and possibly at other times, but until sometime in August, I can be on for about 6 hours AT LEAST. In August through about May 15 I can be on for maybe 1-3 hours.(Note: i am sorry to Pinata that I had to withdraw my vote, but I consider us about equal) Gnosis is knowledge 17:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome for nominating you. MaulYoda

My main reason for want of this position is mainly dealing with vandalism, but I could also do much like deleting garbage, fixing broken redirects, and so on. If you look through my contributions, you can see just how much I have done. Gnosis is knowledge 23:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The reasons I want to be an admin are:
 * 1. As an admin I will able to contribute to the community more effectively.
 * 2. With my sysop powers I would be able to block/ban vandals.
 * 3. With my sysop powers I would be able to repair vandalized articles far more effectively.


 * 4. I would also do things like correct grammar here and there. A lot of articles on here need grammar corrections. I would also delete some things that are total unserious nonsense, like TACOS for example. Ewoksfist 06:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

More like we REALLY need Sysops. Ewoksfist 22:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget BURRITOS. Gnosis is knowledge 23:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you.
Thanks for nominating me, I desire a secure wiki. I could help with vandal troubles, and setting up featured things. -Aiddat

I'm quite young, but you can judge my maturity yourself. I can probably be on just about every day.

Yeah, thanks for nominating me too. We need to elect admins, the vandals are out of control. Ewoksfist 22:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

OMG, by voting for you I created a 3-way tie! That kinda means we get 3 new admins in one week... wow. Oh well. Good luck anyway. Calaros 15:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Yet another one...
Wesa under attack! By a vandal named "Silly Dan". I doubt he is the Dan from Wookieepedia. Please stop him. -Aiddat 13:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it was a different guy, don't worry. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Damn it! Another perverted vandal! I say we elect admins NOW. I can't take it anymore I want to ban them!!! Ewoksfist 22:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

How bad was he? Anyway, WE NEED ADMINS!!!!!!!!!!! Gnosis is knowledge 23:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * He wasn't all that bad. Just your usual random porn-type vandalism.  I've seen worse. --Pinata 23:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

So have I, Darth Incest was the worst I've seen. But I'm just SO damn sick of it! Ewoksfist 23:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yet Another
Thanks to whoever cleared that up
 * Looked at my article--Nathaniel Kenobi--and I found the word s**t next to the title. Please reverse this.NKSCF 3:59 p.m., 5 June, 2006

I've got some articles that have the f-word in the title, too... I'll do what I can, but I'm mostly good at linking and categorizing, so I'll need help cleaning my articles up. --Pinata 23:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll help out too, where ever I can. Ewoksfist 00:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I see someone removed the new guys self-nomination, I take it he was a vandal? Ewoksfist 21:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea. Mabye you should ask him? Darth mavoc 23:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawal
Since I have basically no chance of getting elected, I have decided to withdraw myself from the race. Also, events today have forced me to reconsider my faith in some people. I hope this will not degenerate things.

Sincerely, Di'e Go Am'er'ez

Election Day
When will admins be appointed? Not to be rude, but this is taking a while. Ewoksfist 16:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal attacks like this are reasons why we should elect admins now. We need a backbone of defense within our own community. Please appoint sysops now! Ewoksfist 20:17, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, some of us meet the recommendations, right? At least hurry up with MaulYoda. -Aiddat 22:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Angela has said that we need more users and some other stuff. I doubt we'll have any admins any time soon. MaulYoda

We could pay Johnny to spam Go to SW Fanon! over some other Star Wars Wikis.

The real problem is that many users think this is a game (Wikimaniac? Aiddat? ). Before we can get any sysop, we must clean up the mess, and estabilish more rules. Wookieepedia has 3 active administrators (i think) and has a large community who has created many rules by discussion and consensus. I managed to stop "Johnny" and unless SWFanon gets any more vandal attacks the articles should be safe, so having a sysop isn't a real priority. Editors should also focus on having some order. I see far too many "forums" into the talk pages, so i'm going to create a forum page. TempMan | Talk 13:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Must there be more?
Another vandal showed up today and has put ASDF after some of the article's names. I have no clue what it means, but knowing some of the vandals I've seen here, it can't be good. NKSCF

Site adoption and voting procedures
Since MaulYoda seems to have the most votes, he should ask Angela to make him a Sysop and a Bureaucrat, so he can elect admins and take Neomessiah's place. But he needs to write it on her current talk page and not in the /archive pages TempMan | Talk 17:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Voting for yourself should not be done. I'm going to remove self-votes. Discuss here if you want. Also, vote-stacking is not allowed, meaning that you *should* only use your real account to vote. Example: Zotoros Infinite can't vote with his alternate account. TempMan | Talk 17:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Why shouldn't they be allowed to vote for themselves? There's no rule that says that they can't. NKSCF 17:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Angela likes Wikipedia policy look here she said "you can't vote for yourself" TempMan | Talk 17:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Point taken NKSCF 18:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't matter to me, because I still have 7 votes.

How about me as a sysop? I am in second, and I am on sometimes when no one else but a vandal who is about to launch an attack is. Gnosis is knowledge

Than are you allowed to nominate yourself, than? Self nomination is allowed. Many candidates do this on Wikipedia (and become Admins) TempMan | Talk 18:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed my vote for MaulYoda. That means that he has 7 votes, making a tie between him and Gnosis. -Di&#39;e Go

But it says all further votes don't count.

Does it matter? It means that he hasn't officially won the election yet. He DID have the most votes, but now he doesn't.

Technically, he still does, as he is tied with me.

Pfffff...big difference

Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Looks like you'll be an admin after all, Gnosis.

I don't get it... How many times can a person vote? To put an example, Gnosis is Knowledge posted something on nearly every candidate. Are we allowed to support more than once? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 19:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Getting syops asap

 * Should we do something like accept the top 5 voted users to be syops immediately. That way we can prevent vandals quickly and effectively right now. Jasca Ducato 18:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. We need someone now! This is getting out if hand. Ever since I joined this site, there's a vandal here, another there. Would someone please enact what Jasca said? NKSCF 19:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

We need sysops at once. We get all these vandal attacks, and we have a racist user that should be blocked at once.

Gnosis is attacked
Gnosis had just been attacked by Alacaster Torn--who was originally Alabaster Torn--a known vandal. He wrote a lewd message on his user page and erased everything else. Someone report him, while I revert all of his attacks. NKSCF 00:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Nihilusdude to MaulYoda
If you see me changing the Nihilisdude votes to MaulYoda, that was because Nihilusdude changed my votes to his name when I was "leaving". I'm just changing them back. MaulYoda

The House of Fanon
In the last two months Ive been here at this Wiki the election for administrators has not stopped. And yet we have a war, the Vandal War going on right behind us. We cant entrust simple users to take out vandals, what if they just want glory and fame. It could be them. Than the administrators, what if they don't like eachother or dont work together or if theyre power hungry vandals than what? We need a goverment not individual governors. The goverment is called the House of Fanon representide by two partys, the Typhillian Council and the Fanon Council. We meet their, take opinions from users and other stuff to make this community better.- Darth Vacatour
