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.

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)

Okay, so I've had my problems. I'd like to appologize. My opinions will not be expressed anymore. But other then that I believe I have worked really hard to help out.. Sure I have made mistakes that had to do with redirecting but I redid the whole emote article, I helped with small and large details and say what I know. As for the Zaros thing... I don't want to be judged on that, I am sorry and the opinions should not be expressed. But if you look throughout how I've done in editing, I think I've done pretty well. But its not my place to decide. Anyway, thank you for even reading this :)  15:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Emosworld
Well, I said that I would be nominating myself at armoud late Feb/early March, so, here I am. I don't swear and I have made useful contributions to RS Wikia. 06:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, you're doing good stuff there. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 00:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Like Eucarya said - It is true, you are helping a lot. I looked at your contributions. Great job, keep going. And that means Support!00:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Support  00:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks to all of you! Emosworld 02:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Support - Quite a good editor :) 01:13, 17 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)
 * Support keep up the great work Chrislee33 01:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * NOTICE OF INTENT: Sacre Fi will be made an admin on Sunday 12/03/07, unless we have objections now. Objecting after the fact is not an option. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 00:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Um... don't you mean 3/12/07? The month comes first.14:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not in English. That is, the language of England. Day/Month/Year. Makes more sense, it's in increasing levels of size. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  15:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup. I have trouble adjusting to that in foriegn languages. Anyway, support. ДҖ-- Huanghe63 talk 15:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * User "Sacre Fi" is now a sysop --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 00:45, 11 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)

Chiafriend12
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 trustworthy 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)

So I'll be a Forum Sysop? That sounds cool! 01:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Support Done a lot of work ever since I greeted him the first time he came here. :) ДҖ-- Huanghe63 talk 15:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Why, support, of course. 05:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Is this enough support to become a Sysop? If not, how much more support do I need? 05:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry to throw it at you, as I think that you deserve this, but nominations must be held for at least 2 weeks before coming to a decision. However, since you seem to be backed up by a lot of people, you will become a sysop, no doubt about that. 13:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * =D 18:19, 17 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)

Oppose - A majority of your edits aren't in the article namespace. Those that are, however, look good. Wait for a while yet, and I'll support. 03:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Soft oppose - you are not at all a bad editor; you just have very little experience as of yet 02:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Just wait a while - Maybe in March you'll have a better chance of trying out. ДҖ-- Huanghe63 talk 15:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Mabey in March you'll have a better chance or trying out. It is march :O.--Whiplash 00:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Majora18574
I belive I should be nominated because I edit alot in wikipedia and not much here..but I shall upload images of new items and ones with no image...and I shall create enemy pages that haven't even been made yet....and I also shall give every slight detail in each....thats why I should be nominated a admin here...I shall update all new items and monsters and upload enemy and item images and make the enemy list complete with no unmade articles of enemies and items!!!!!02:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Somewhat Strong Oppose - Three reasons:

I'll support you when you do those things that you say you will do. Good luck on all of that. That may take a while. 02:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) you haven't been here long
 * 2) you don't have many contributions
 * 3) this isn't Wikipedia


 * Strong oppose - Wikipedia is Wikipedia. RuneScape Wiki is not Wikipedia.  So what, you have quite a few edits there, they are totally separate and you should contribute more often here first.  You only have one edit in the article namespace.  ONE EDIT.  It doesn't matter what you are going to do, what matters is what you already have done. You've only been here slightly over a week, anyway. Wait another few months, and make some more worthwhile contributions.   03:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, unfortunately - this seems to be exactly what I'm talking about... I really do think you will know when it is time to become a sysop when someone nominates you first, and that's probably the reason why it's called "nomination." I'm sorry if I make it seem like I'm targeting only you, as this applies to everyone. Also, you can still do all of those things on your list now, and that might get you a nomination when you get enough edits. Good luck when they do nominate you. :) 03:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - you simply haven't been here long enough to be considered. --[[Image:Smithingimg.PNG]] Eucarya Talk 09:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Extremely strong OPPOSE - I may seem harsh...but see the following reasons: 00:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Extremely strong oppose - You just got here. You say that you will write all of the quests and ncp pages on RuneScape!!! That is an extremely hard job that I would bet all of my money against. You have barely made Any edits! Please wait a few months and put your money where your mouth is.00:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Why Id never!!You under estamate me...why i even helped the pirate page and other pages now!How rude of you to judge me so quickly!05:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You have 37 total edits
 * You have ONE main page (article) edit
 * You haven't been here long enough
 * Just because you say you're going to do things doesn't mean you will...writing articles for all the creatures and items in runescape is a huge undertaking that will take you several months
 * Nominating yourself makes you look overly ambitious and somewhat selfish


 * We don't have enough positive things to judge you on.. You helped write a couple pages, good for you. Show us that you deserve to be an admin.  We can't go around sysop'ing everyone, if we did, this Wiki would be hell.  We're not underestimating you, we're giving you the harsh truth.   05:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Sysop powers won't help you in achieving any of the goals you've mentioned. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 08:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The pirate page is one page. And to reply to your comment of my "rudeness", judging you quickly is not what I did. You have only got here, in fact I did not even notice you until now, and you seem to be overly confident in yourself. Please wait. If most of those people up there failed, what is that makes you feel that you are special?19:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. 22:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Emosworld 06:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, until you actually get some things done that will help the community out. Being a Sysop really doesn't help your ability to be useful, it just means you have some administrative abilities.  Who's to say you'll use those abilities correctly on RS Wiki?  When you've been here long enough for us to see how you contribute to this community, then you'll certainly be able to get nominated and supported.  20:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, RSWiki is not English wikipedia and just because you edit a lot in the English wiki, doesn't mean you will make useful edits here. It is somewhat pointless to put yourself down as you have less than 100 edits. Maybe less than 50. 06:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
