RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Ilyas

Nomination
Ilyas has been on the wiki almost a year. He's been a sysop for over 8 months. He's stopped dozens of vandals, been active consistently, and been a constructive and helpful participant in discussions. He's also made nearly 4,000 contributions on the wiki and has almost 1,200 article edits, which shows his continued activity. He's a very positive influence in the wiki community and on RS itself. He's helped many new editors get their feet off the ground on the wiki, myself included. When I first came to the wiki, he was a big scary sysop whose name I misspelled as "llyas" the first time I addressed him in a discussion, but he talked to me and taught me about the wiki, while I taught him a little about RS =]. Ilyas has been ignored a lot when others have been nominated for bureaucrat, but he really deserves this, more than any other sysop (in my opinion). Good luck on your RFB, Ilyas! I'm fully confident that you'll get the support you need, as Hyenaste has apparently decided that 70% isn't good enough (hence my failure... maybe next time).

Voting
''I, Ilyas, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realize that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my powers because I realize that this is a serious offence and if the community finds that I have done so, my powers will be revoked and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed, .''

 * Comment - Thanks Gang, and I'm sorry your RFB fell. I thought you were deserving. Apparently you need 80% rather than the normal 70 on an RFB. Anyways, thanks. 20:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Neutral - I don't really like RfA/B bursts...I'll just stay out. 20:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Neutral - I thought one active 'crat would be enough? Chaoticar 21:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Support He accepts me as a member of this wiki, although some people do not believe I even exist. I also support Ilyas because he has contributed to this community greatly. 22:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Support Ilyas welcomed me to this wiki, and he's almost never mad at me even when I screw up BIG TIME. He's a nice person, and he gave me the confidence to stay in this wiki when things weren't going my way. Cashman286 talk 22:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Neutral For now, I don't think another bureaucrat is needed. Dtm is active enough to be able to handle RfA. If that doesn't turn out to be true, well, we'll see. Skill 23:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Ilyas, imo, hasn't really done anything, like attempt to close a RFA, that proves to me he would use 'crat powers. Also, something on the IRC struck me as odd. Ilyas kept asking for votes over and over, and said that     he wanted the RFB to be over in 2 weeks, which I interpeted as he wanted this new power ASAP =/    Tes     Fan          17:52, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Weak Oppose We just got a crat, and I dont think we need another. However, I do think Ilyas is a good admin Atlandy 23:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak oppose we just got an active crat, why dont ya wait a little while? Ice 14:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * CommentIn response to Atlandy and Ice, the addition of another 'crat will not hurt this Wiki.  Unless someone can foresee rounds of arguments between crats, Ilyas can only help RSW.

Support This maybe the third nomination for bureaucratship, but i dont care. Ilyas has been here for a very long time, probably out dates me (i joined november last year). He will be trusted with this great honour, Im sure. Arnie 15:31, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Support per nom.

Comment - To Tesfan. No, I am simply trying to clear up trafic and get all RFA/RFBs done as fast as possible. There have been some cases where RFAs have taken a month. Asking for votes means I'm trying to clear up all traffic and get the wiki moving. In response to me not closing any recent RFAs, I'm not on everyday. 14:43, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, I would like to ask 2 questions (Not trying to be offensive, just wondering):


 * 1) What is the reason that you would like 'crat powers?
 * 2) How will you use these 'crat powers?

Again, not trying to be rude, just wondering.
 * Ahh... sorry if I'm late. Anyways....


 * 1) I would use my powers to sysop people earlier instead of having the nomination frozen for a week until another crat decides to sysop them. I"m only on on Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays, so I might or might not be able to get to that.
 * 2) That answers both questions, so no need to answer the second.

Well hope that's good enough for you. If not, you're welcome to keep opposing. 18:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Maybe a crat wants to see if anyone else wants to vote... Things can change.... 18:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Again, we just got a new 'crat. No RfAs have been closed since then, so we don't even know if the present system will work or not. There is no point fixing it if it isn't broken Skill 18:41, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose - A few days ago in the IRC, you repeatedly called me "nub" and "nubcake" even after I asked you to stop twice. I think a bureaucrat should have more restraint and/or respect than that. 05:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Darn database problems. Anyways, Chia, it was a joke. 18:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Ilyas has been here before I quit, and I find him both friendly and helpful. With many old editors gone, we need new ones to replace them. The next b'crat debate was always a controversial one after Eucarya/Vimescarrot, and I feel that Ilyas will be a good b'crat. Besides, B'crat isn't much different from being a admin anyway.
