 * Takes a deep breath" I'm going to (gasp) nominate myself. As selfish as I am I feel bad more myself, If I be an admin, I'd keep this wiki clean of spammers, vandals, and personal attackers. *Takes another deep breath*, I bet i'll get alot of opposes but, what the hay? I just want to see if people think I'm good enough to be an admin. *Takes 1 last deep breath*, forgive due to me nominating myself. How selfish I am. =|. Before you oppose me, please note that I reverted alot of edits by User:Buck nell. Thank you. --Blankothe3rd 07:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose I really don't know you that well which probally means you have a very small presence in the community. I'm not very familiar with your edits either. Don't worry I don't judge people for nominating themselves. --Whiplash 13:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Soft Short Oppose maybe early =/ Syugecin talkcontribs


 * Oppose. Too early. 13:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Opposes Softly Don't know you.  Become active in your edits and the community, and also wait till you've been here longer.  Seems promising though.  Keep up the good work.15:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Never seen you before you made this RfA. Do some more edits and wait a few months. 21:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi all. I hate nominating myself, but I wanted to make it known that I'd like to have admin rights. I have only been here for a few months, but if you look at my contributions you can see I've already been acting like an admin, only without the shortcuts that an admin would have. Though my mainspace edits are only in the low hundreds, I think you can see that they are high quality and professional.

Before you object to my time on the Wiki or the number of edits I've made, keep in mind that the sysop position isn't a glorified editor position. Users should not be given sysop based on their time here or the number of their edits, but on their proven ability to carry out administrative tasks. That said, I'm open to whatever opinions you may have.

I may note that I'll be on vacation starting Friday, so I may just let responses build up until my return the following Sunday. Don't think I'm ignoring this thread.


 * You've been here a little over a month. I don't even know you lol. 01:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the response...though I don't know what to say other than "ok." As I tried to carefully say in my paragraph above, I'm not seeking this position because I'm chummy with all the other sysops, because I believe that's the type of environment we're trying to avoid, and I'm not seeking this position because I've been here a long time or make major contributions.  Major contributions should have no bearing on your ability to perform administrative duties.  You can continue making major contributions without administrative authority.  The point was, I am seeking admin because I already have been performing administrative duties, and would like to make that easier on myself to do.  Just take a look at my contributions and you can see what I do most on the Wiki.  Hi, I'm Endasil by the way :)

I see the "all editors are equal" policy thrown around quite a bit, and you're definitely better than the random person who wanders in off the internet and goes for an RfA. Going through your contributions, I like what I see. Nearly half (exactly if you round up the percentage) your edits are mainspace, and they are quality edits. Even if this is too soon, or if we've got enough admins for the time being, I think you'd make a good sysop. You've got my support. 04:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not yet - You are a good editor, but you've only been here for a month (or so). In a few months or a couple hundred edits I'll support. 04:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Conditions apply - I'm not an advocate for self-nominations... at least you're being bold. :) However, it's been a short while since you've joined (I did, in fact, read the nomination), and you may not have the trust of others to become an administrator... also, unlike me, you actually know what you're talking about. =P I'll support, so long as you pinky promise to use good judgement. *Raises pinky* 05:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've not checked anything you've done but I'd just like to say, you certainly seem to have the right attitude towards sysop powers. I don't really have time to check what you've done at the moment, sorry - if you bug me in-game I might... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  06:50, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you all for your comments thus far. I respect all of your opinions, and while I've argued that edit count and length of time shouldn't be a factor in whether one becomes a sysop, I do understand that both are essential in becoming trusted by the community. I'd like to shortly share why I am seeking admin powers. I am for the most part seeking just the roll-back capability and the delete page capability, because I often end up reverting vandalism and marking pages for speedy deletions. So, I'm going to leave my nomination open for the next week. As I've said above, I'll be gone for the coming week. Feel free to post your support or criticisms while I'm gone, and again, please don't think I'm ignoring you. I just don't know how many internet cafes I'd be able to hit up while backpacking in Scotland :-).


 * Yes you seem to have the maturity and good intentions that mabey some of our past hopefulls mabey haven't, however you should be here just a bit longer before you get privalleges just to get to know you in the community. ^^ Best of luck. --Whiplash 22:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Support. I've watched a lot of your edits and I'm impressed with the contributions you've made here.  Keep up the good work.  02:04, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Support. You really know how to edit. 13:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Notice of Intent: Endasil will be sysoped on Friday May 11th unless there is objection now. --Whiplash 15:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Support-It's true. He is extremely helpful at times and most pages he contributed helped me alot. I bet he will be a great so what awesome admin.23:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, indeed, but I say Neutral because he has only 500 edits you say? I don't quite think that's enough, but Wowbagger sure does has enough expierience with the wiki. 00:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 817, but who's counting ;) --Wowbagger421 00:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do you always base on edits Chia? Read the third bullet under rules...edit count and admin ability do NOT go hand in hand.  Support.
 * Support im surprised he is not already. --Whiplash 00:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. 01:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, so more than 500 edits. That's better. :) But I shall not yet say support, but instead Answer Pending. 01:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Definately overdue. Good work! Chaoticar 10:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Answer has pended! New answer: Neutral, still 18:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't really have much of an impression of you yet, so, Neutral. Talk-to Cashman286 (Level 46)  20:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Neutral. Lol, I have never talked to him/her or tracked his/her edits. My vote doesn't really count. 05:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Play with fire, you're gonna get burned Wowbagger. 19:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Very mature. --Wowbagger421 19:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

SUPPORT! - I changed my mind. 20:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Support You have been here a long time, and proven yourself trustworthy. 12:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think before we should sysop you we should let the neutrals change their minds. --Whiplash 14:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll ask them if their opinion of me has changed recently. --Wowbagger421 21:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Support, for all reasons above. Oddlyoko 06:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Forgot to sign, oops!


 * Support. Changed my mind. Darn, you're a excellent organizer, just like me. ^^ I think we really need people like you. 05:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think we could sysop you on Monday the 14th. --Whiplash 18:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Support: Know him from far back, great editor. 02:42, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Support.: Me and him reverted that Perverts edits lickity split! The King Of Fakes. - Thoust Desire to talk?  - The Royal Fakes.


 * Thanks for the support, everyone. --Wowbagger421 22:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

User "Wowbagger421" is now a sysop --Whiplash 10:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Katshuma
This user has massive main edits and is very active. Nice and helpful and participates in discussions when he cans. He would make a great administrator. Don't forget my vote goes to support too. 13:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Final Votes
 * Support - 2
 * Oppose - 0
 * Neutral - 3

I'm performing nicely here without admin rights so I'm not so sure if I need to be nominated, so I say Neutral to myself. 13:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, if you're neutralling yourself then so will I. I mean, shouldn't you be supporting yourself? 14:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm.... I say Pending I need time to think. <font color="NAVY">Syugecin [[Image:Dragon_halberd.png]]<font color="RED">talk<font color="RED">contribs 14:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't want to support myself. I'm not so good anyway. I'm fine as just normal editer. If Malestro would have nominated me a week ago I would have withdrawn. 16:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Katshuma, if you are not comfortable being a sysop, you can just deny the nomination. That way it won't go down in history as a failed vote, and if you decide later that you would like to be a sysop, we can have this discussion then.
 * I don't want to force you to anything you don't want to do or feel incapable of the pressure. :D  I just thought you'd like to know that I thought you worthy of this.  You seemed to imply wanting it above in the gangsterls vote, and I checked into your history and your activity, and I saw you really looked like a deserving editor.  Sorry.  17:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You have made over 1,100 main space edits, I say Support

Sorry Malestro, you only should have asked me first. And thanks Endasil. (Wow, you really are good.) I withdraw from this. 11:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Katshuma has withdrawn from this nomination. Please vote no more.'''
