RuneScape:Requests for adminship/JaydenKieran

JaydenKieran
Hey friends. It's been a little while since there's been an RfA that I've seen, so I hope I'm doing this right! I'd like to request sysop powers on the wiki in order to help maintain it and make sure that its the best it can possibly be. I often find myself wanting to help out in more ways than I currently can, such as by deleting defunct pages and media. I feel like the majority of the people on the wiki know of me - or at least I hope! Hopefully, I've made a positive impression on you all over the few years that I've been editing on the wiki. I always try and put across new ideas and ways to improve the quality of life of the wiki, such as recent forum threads Forum:MTGA, Forum:Competition Style guide, and Forum:Self nominating for the Wikian. I am adequate with using MediaWiki and the many features within it, so that is a plus. Finally, gaining the ability to stop vandalism in its tracks through being able to block users will prove useful - but my biggest reason for this RfA is being able to perform maintenance tasks that involve deletion or protection independently. Thanks for reading!

''I, JaydenKieran, 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 tools because I realise that this is a serious offence. If the community finds that I have done so, my tools will be revoked, and in extreme cases I could be given a community ban. Signed,'' 13:59, June 14, 2017 (UTC).

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

I plan to improve the quality of life of the wiki by improving the content of articles through templates such as navboxes, infoboxes and more. I'll do this by deleting duplicate or similar templates, like we had for "Safe activity", "Safe dnd" and more, and merging them into one or cleaning them up so that they are useful and helpful for readers and Wikians alike.

2. What have been your most helpful contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?

I think this is a trivial question. I don't believe that one of a person's edits on the wiki can be "most helpful", we're all equal. As long as we're all making a contribution, nothing too big or too small should be ignored. This is the whole reason we're trying to encourage more active editors to join and get involved in the editing process. If I had to pick anything though, I'd narrow it down to recent updates. I'm pretty prominent when there is a new update, and things like Menaphos and Golden Path Challenge were no exception. The Golden Path Challenge article was something that I maintained heavily and made sure new information was added to it minutes after it had been found by a player.

'''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?'''

On the RuneScape Wiki, I don't think I've been in many conflicts. If I have, they were resolved very quickly and no grudges were held. I respect and appreciate everyone that edits here. I think there may have been a time that I had a disagreement with 5-x, but again this was resolved. If I get into a conflict with someone, I make sure that it doesn't turn into an argument and instead remains as a discussion. If things become heated, I'd remove myself from the situation and let it die down. If I'm in the wrong I'll apologise, there's nothing worse than being in the wrong but the person refuses to admit it.

4. Should this request be successful, will you request IRC operator?

I don't use IRC... I'll happily take a rank on Discord though.

'''5. Should this request be successful, do you wish to claim CC Admin rank at this time? If so, please state your current display name.'''

I don't wish to have a clan chat rank. The guys running the clan are doing a fine job of their own :)
