Some Guidelines
In order to be considered for sysop rights, you should be doing some or all of the following already as a normal user:
 * Watch Special:Recentchanges and help to revert vandalism even before you're an admin - just because you don't have fast rollback facility doesn't mean you can't change vandalised pages back to what they were before - any "new" pages that you can't delete yourself, just put the little edit at the top - another admin should pick this up in Category:Speedy deletion candidates and follow it up.  This is the primary reason why this wiki needs admins - protection from vandalism and acting as a volunteer to keep this wiki clean, readable, and factually accurate.
 * Create good content - if we don't have content there's no point in anyone using this wiki. Attempting rewrites of large articles will greatly help your chances of being recommended/accepted, as this is more noticable in some ways than lots of minor edits to lots of small articles.  Where the wiki wins over other sites is our ability to get information out fast simply because everyone has editorial control, even unlogged users.  Help write the brand new updates - if someone else is writing the quest guide, make your own notes but start creating the sub-page articles ready to be blue-linked already.  I love creating a quest guide where every time I create a link it's already blue (I experienced this particularly when I wrote the first draft of Darkness of Hallowvale).
 * Be part of the community - Welcome new editors on their talk page and gently guide them in the right direction. Talk to other editors, engage in the forums and generally show your face around!  Though the wiki is assuredly not a clan, it is a place that your fellow players gather, treat them as human beings!
 * All decisions should be democratic - regardless of who is suggesting something whether they be normal user/sysop/bureaucrat, all votes should be counted equal. If you are in the minority on an issue over a certain article, be prepared to back down.  Be mature about it.  See Runescape:All editors are equal.
 * Don't be an idiot - this should be obvious to everyone wanting to become an admin, but just in case it needs pointing out - don't vandalise, don't create deliberately misleading articles, don't break any of runescape's own rules1, don't start pointless bun-fights over silly things, and oh, don't be Shadowdancer. Sysop rights should be given based on maturity of conduct, and be irrelevant to the player's skills.

1 - external links are generally ok in the main wiki as long as they're to "reputable" sites, Additionally, anything in your own user page is ok as long as it's not outrageous (porn, personal abuse, etc)

Please edit and clarify any points -- Eucarya Talk 23:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Sacre Fi
Sacre Fi is a hard working member of the community. He has a good way of dealing with vandals, converting them, or just ignoring them and reverting or asking for the "vandal page" to be deleted. He has shown that he deserves this. He is kind to new users and shows them how to do things. He gives them tips. I have a habit of doing these things without informing the nominated person, so I wont forget. Still, he is doing great. He started in December, December 17 I believe.23:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Heheh, at least you asked this time. ^_^ Aren't there already quite a few administrators here already? I'd be more than happy to do it, but it's gettin' a bit crowded. Thanks! 23:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * And so is the wiki in general!23:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I've thought about it, and there's not much that a sysop can do that I can't beyond blocking... maybe I should withdraw from the nomination? =/ 02:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Support From Imperic.! Sacre Fi is a hard worker to the wiki. When I joined he showed me around. xD. He's really nice with new people, I support him every step of the way! Enough Said.
 * So, you decided to come? -.- 02:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There is much that a sysop can do, blocking, mediawiki, unprotect and protect, delete and restore, revert more easily. Your choice. But not many people have voted.02:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Meh, it's fine being a lowly peon, and I can always pester the sysops if I want something changed. ^_^ Although MediaWiki is tempting... I'll think about it, but I guess I'll still keep this here while thinking. Feel free to vote, I guess. =/ 03:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We should wait a few weeks, 2 weeks at the least.03:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Support; as I've said before, I'd happily sysop everyone I trust on this wiki. Make it much easily to implement some of our policies. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 11:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support I trust Sacre Fi very much both on the wiki and the game. --Whiplash 11:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support God, I thought you already were a sysop. Well, If you aren't, I think you should be.00:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, can I at least pretend to be stricken with peonage? Please? 01:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I suppose so. All admin duties are vonluntary. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  08:14, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, ok, I'll try then, I s'pose. :) 00:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Try what? Did I miss something?00:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I said I'll think 'bout it, and so that be me saying yes. :) 00:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. I'd like to see a couple of more people agreeing here before sysopping you, but you've been doing good stuff. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 08:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support. I'm not really sure about this but i still say yes. Katshuma 21:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong supportYou always seem to make WIKI better. I think you would be a great sysop. You even changed my ways.01:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Total Rune
I am an awesome member of the community, although I haven't been here long. I am planning to do some mass edits on various topics to help the shape of the community and I can supply many MANY images of almost every item. I would make an awesome sysop/mod/whatever and I won't bribe anyone to vote for me.....*whistles and walks away inconspicuosly* 02:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait a few months. You are relatively new. Give it some time, make more edits.02:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I swear ta god I wasn't gonna bribe Vimescarrot! 02:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Vimescarrot is only one person. He only counts as one vote. I count as one vote. Everyone counts as one vote. RuneScape:All editors are equal. Besides, Vimes doesn't get bribed. And you only got here 2 weeks ago. And anyway, what would you bribe people with?02:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Moneys.....and sexes if he wants it.....KIDDING! Just the moneys.....or maybe I can give him some womens.... - 02:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You do have a habit of using... comments like that. Well, you aren't ready, you just got here!02:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Says the man who was Sysopped after 60 days and only had 200+ edits......apologize for the comment xD 02:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 60 days and had 800+ edits!02:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 200. I read the topic. :P 03:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Total edits 700 and something. That was towards articles. And huge rewrites or things like that can come in one edit. I had a sandbox at tha time, which is not an article. You don't understand... it was over 800.03:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Read the "No" section of this, 200. =D 03:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose...Doesn't seem to have the right attitude. Deletes discussion simply because he doesn't agree with them; see here, and then doesn't dicuss why he does this; a la this. His attitude to discussion is wrong; he seems to think he owns his own talk page...Oh, and should probably read up on the rules a bit more; Jagex can do more than he seems to think. However, his attitude does seem to be changing for the good, insofar as I can tell over a couple of days editing, so perhaps sometime in the future. But not yet. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 11:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not yet I would suggest before attempting again that you should make some more edits and wait a month or two, usually users dont become admins untill 2 or 3 months after they have joined.--Whiplash 11:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Vimescarrot, you seem too immature to be given this responsibility. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 12:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose - Just because you would be an "awesome" admin isn't a reason for getting sysop privileges. You don't even seem to know what it's called. :\ From what I can see, your most recent edit was merely a week ago. Some of your edits don't seem so mature, either. 15:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I can see how you feel, but give it some time. A few months. You just got here 2 weeks ago.15:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose. Sorry Total, but even I've been here longer than you. You shouldn't nominate yourself after 2 weeks. Wait another month or two, then we can reopen the voting. Keep up the good edits though =)! --Gangsterls 22:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose No offense, but sometimes you act like a perverted 8-year old (above). After around a month, I'll vote yes. But not now. 23:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I'm SOR-RY for being half baked when I typed this. That's the last time I get high and create things here. God knows what'll happen next time O.o 08:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * NO. Way to early man, most people have been here over 2-3 months, or at least should be before they get admin. Oh Btw Ilyas, you had 200 edits, like 500 edits that really didn't contribute much information. (talk pages, forums, etc..) 21:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - he has not demonstrated effort that could be furthered by sysop privileges nor has he established himself as a trustworthy member of this community. 21:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Acctualy, many edits can be made to a sandbox and then transfered to an article in the case of a rewrite! And, a lot of information can be added in one edit! (Speaking of myself, what Dreadnought said).00:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I can be very trustworthy. I only have 1 flaw, I have ADHD and because of that if someone says something to me like an insult I can't really control it but I retaliate and that's how I've been banned from alot of places (only to come back under a new identity) So basically you tick me off, I'mma go crazy on you (or try to control it and not go crazy) 00:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The task of a admin type person is quite a responsible job and requires a lot of dedication. I have been corrected by the current admins on several occasions for some ofmy unavoidable mistakes. It requires a lot of tact to deal with a fairly wide range of international contributors without alieniating them. Ask yourself if you really want the responsibility. Also be honest to yourself and consider if you can deal with impulsive and badly formulated reactions to your actions in a responsible way. Adminship serves the wiki and its contributors and should not be regarded as a "reward" for an individual. At this point, there is very little evidence that you can serve the community in this manner, so i side with the oppose votes. With time, maybe you will grow into the role (when you do you'll probably no longer want it). --Miw 11:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

MOST DEFINATELY OPPOSE. I'm sorry for bringing it up AGAIN, but you are persistant on breaking RS rules by using MoparScape. What's more, I do NOT like what you put on my talk page. Should we have a rulebreaker who uses ILLEGAL programs to play RS become an admin on the Wiki? I don't think so. MoparScape is lying to you when it says it is part of RS and has the same "cache" or whatever the heck it is you said. Don't expect to be playing MoparScape anytime soon, because I have alerted JaGeX about it (I WOULD put the message here, but the messages are for me and me only). Also, your swearing and cussing is getting on my nerves. You told me to grow up, yet I am probably ten times more mature than you are. Thus, I oppose your adminship request.
 * Your whole nomination is a joke you have been banned you will never have admin privlages on this wikia. --Whiplash 16:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Cashman286
I know I haven't edited much, but that's because I cant because I don't know enough since I'm a free player. I know this will get nowhere, but Total Rune tried, so I don't see why I shouldn't. I just feel like I could help more as a sysop.00:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unlike Total Rune, you realize that you have to be here longer. But if you know that, why would you nominate yourself? well... Oppose.00:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Er... Oppose, sorry. It's just that you've made 52 edits, and 1 to the actual content of the Wiki... I don't know much about members' things either, but there's other websites out there and other pages on the Wiki that could help with gathering information. Maybe you could wait a little longer (2-3 months, maybe less?) and gather up some contributions. At least you attempted, though... :) 00:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * God, I feel like an idiot. :(. Anyway...I'm dropping out. Even Total Rune didn't get comments like this so quickly... 00:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, don't feel like an idiot. Be confident in yourself.01:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been here for 4 months, made nearly 1,000 edits, plus many people know me in this community and I know many people. I have an extensive ammount of knowledge of how to do stuff when editing to make text be bold, italicized, supifyed, subifyed, red, green , blue , etc.. I was getting pictures for the Wiki during the 2/24/07 riot in world 28, I confirmed that Black P Hats don't exist (even though the proof had to be deleted) and I have reverted some vandalisms in order to keep the Wiki tidy. So, should I be an admin, or wait longer? 05:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I like your contribions and find them informative and entertaining. As a contributor, i expect an admin to be caring to the community and help with all the subtleties of the wiki. At the same time, an admin should defend the work against abuse. This is a hard balancing act, which requires additional skills you are still developing. What i like to see most in an admin is a view where this wiki needs to go. Will the wiki flourish as a pure information database? What goals should the wiki aim for? Should it be a leading fansite or something else? Your ideas will follow from that vision and that is when contributors will request you to serve them. Until then, please continue your great work as a valued contributor. --Miw 11:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Can we put you on hold? I think many of your edits are good ones but also many of those have been to non actual articles, I think you're very trustworty and I would say support but we're going to nominate Sacre Fi so could you give us some time to get back to you? --Whiplash 12:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Disregard all that support.--Whiplash 12:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. You been here a long time and made lotsa contribz. Lol the text tricks u did aren't that hard...even I can do them. Still you probably know way more than me. Gangsterls 00:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Replying to my self....why is time doing that weird thing? I just put four tildes. ??? How do I put date in then?
 * Ooo 02:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Informed contributor.  Rich Farmbrough, 13:24 8  March 2007 (GMT). 13:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * support - powerful presence in the community; I see your name everywhere. 19:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not totally convinced - almost all of your edits seem to be in either forum or user space, and most of your main wiki edits seem to be minor. However, we do need someone to watch the forums/are willing to help Whiplash maintain them and do archiving and stuff.  If we get enough votes for you here I'm happy to sysop you and I'll point you in the direction of keeping the forums clean! --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 19:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I always wanted to be a admin but never got the guts to request it, but the day that Total Rune was vandalizing Wiki made me post my name up here. It is ok if you don't support me. I understand. I haven't been here that long anyways. I do think I started somewhere in January or February.00:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Mabey too soon, you haven't made alot of edits but you're not a bad user either, perhaps this is not the time and you should wait a little longer before re-requesting quite like Ilyas did. --Whiplash 00:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Yep I knew that was bound to happen. Ok maybe try again in a month or two..or three=)00:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be a good idea perhaps then you could become an admin. :) --Whiplash 00:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
