RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Stelercus

Stelercus
Stelercus, since creating his account in 2008, has contributed to many variable, and valuable fields of topics on this wiki: from Community discussions, to the never-ending objective of fighting Vandalism. Stelercus, has been proven, by his work with the RSWP and other community projects, to be a hard-working, trustworthy editor, who will use the tools for the betterment, of the both the wiki, and the many users that make up the expansive community. 15:52, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

''I, Stelercus, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realise that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my powers because I realise 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,'' 16:09, March 13, 2010 (UTC).

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
 * I have taken part in Anti-Vandal work, reporting any vandalism I see to the CVU. I also try to report and warn the creators of Vandalism edits even if the person who reverted the edit did not. I frequently check the speedy deletion candidates and could easily help delete these as well. There are frequently administrative tasks I can see a need for when other administrators are offline, and I believe I can be trusted to do these myself (such as file-moves, deletions, and blocks).

2. What are your best contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?
 * I have put quite a bit of effort into The Wiki Post making sure it is one of the highest quality, most efficient aspects of our community. Every so often I have to move several pages (there was one instance where I had to move every single page), so the ability to bypass the rate limit would be useful. I also take part in anti-vandalism and the cleaning up of pages.

'''3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?'''
 * I recently was in a discussion with C.Chiam as to how to make the RSWP most RS:AEAE compliant without allowing users to freely add their own un-edited content. I believe we both handled it maturely and reached a conclusion that allows for the most freedom without sacrificing the quality of our content.

Discussion
Support - Extremely deserving of the tools. I trust his very much, he's a jewel in the community, there's nobody else I'd prefer to be an admin than Steler. He's a real great guy. He's always active in community work and always looking to help users in need. 15:57, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - While I agree that Stelercus is very deserving of sysop tools, he has not demonstrated a need for them. I have rarely seen him deal with vandalism and the likes. Furthermore, I think that he should have a few more mainspace edits to become a sysop, since he currently has fewer than 500. 16:00, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * He has demonstrated a need for them, during a large moving of Rwsp articles. He was stopped because of the Cap limit. 16:05, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * When all the pages where moved, I created Redirects for most of the pages. User:Iiii I I I started deleting them, so if that is what we plan to do, I can definitely use the delete button to help him do this. This will easily be one of the first thing on my agenda if I am given the rights by the community. 19:54, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Stelercus deserves it if anyone does. While he may not have that many mainspace edits...he has a lot of forum, template, and runescape edits, which I see as more his area. He's always there for a wise word and to help keep the peace. 16:16, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Steler certainly deserves it, per all. 18:40, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Stelercus is a hardworking, active contributor who can use the sysop tools for the betterment of the wiki. Per all. 03:02, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Hmm, I've been considering nominating Stelercus for a while now, because he's been here for quite a while, is quite hardworking on the Wiki, and trustworthy as well. However, I have some concerns about his understanding of some policies, so I'll be neutral for now. 06:32, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I have seen Stelercus work hard on here, I think he deserves them! Per telos 15:41, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He fights vandalism, participates in discussions, and above all he is very hardworking and community-minded. 15:55, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Steler is a friendly guy and I see him in discussions often, but I have seen him do anti-vandalism only rarely. Though of course that could also be because of the time zone difference, I still cannot fully support this. 06:38, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you look at the revision history of the CVU, I would argue I revert vandalism quite a bit. 09:25, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - You only have 480 mainspace edits. 16:57, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per supporters. -- 20:02, March 15, 2010 (UTC)superplayer08

Comment - I noticed the two users opposing have done so because of a concern about my mainspace edit count. I am aware that it is considerably low compared to others, but I do not believe that changes my ability to be an effective administrator. I still revert vandalism several times a day, look over the candidates for speedy deletion and alert administrators in game of the pages that need to be deleted, and other things that I could do more effectively for the community if I where an administrator. I don't see how edit count has anything to do with my ability to do this, nor does it make me any less trustworthy to have the administrative rights. 21:22, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He could put his admin tools to a good use. and per supporters. 23:49, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support - He's a good user. 04:03, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Why not? 04:20, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Jack Spiral1

Still not yet - I've looked at your Edit report, courtesy of Quarenon. It seems that you have edited the CVU only 49 times, and only reported a vandal using the AutoCVU 38 times. Furthermore, you have only warned a vandal with the No vandal template 26 times. I'd like to see a bit more anti-vandal work from a potential administrator. But, in the future I would be completely willing to support if I see that you combat vandalism a lot. 01:56, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I'd like to see a bit more anti-vandal work and mainspace work out of an admin, as those are their primary duties (especially anti-vandal). 07:29, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Comment There is more to being an admin than being a superantivandal. Yes, it is our most oft used tools, but far and away not the only ones. It would be great if everyone could see past that and observe the other work he has done and take that into their considerations. It should boil down to "Is he smart and reasonable enough to use the tools correctly?" for the most part. Does he understand and follow our policies, in spirit even more importantly than to the letter?--Degenret01 08:36, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
