RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Soldier 1033

Soldier 1033
Hi there. I'm Soldier 1033 (obviously). Some of you might not know me, but I spent at least 3-6 hours each day watching the recent changes, reverting and reporting vandalism, and welcome every new user I see. I've had rollback and have not abused it, and if you need more prove that I wouldn't abuse sysop powers, I am a bureaucrat on the RuneScape Clans Wiki. The main reason I think I should be an admin is because it's hard to keep control when people are going on vandalism sprees and there are no sysops around to block them. Sure, I can and have been reverting the vandalism, but that doesn't stop them from continuing on their spree. Sometimes it can take a little while too. I have also made many major contributions to certain articles. For example, I added a lot of information and images to the RuneScape Forums article. I also virtually rewrote the Glitch and Warriors' Guild articles because they were so full of second-person point of view. Other articles that I have contributed to include Law running and Easter egg. I have been around since mid-October. I was inactive for a little while due to real life reasons (school), but I'm back and have and will continue to be active daily. The reason that I don't have as may edits as some users is because I spend so much time reverting vandalism instead of making minor corrections to articles. In fact, a good chunk of my article contributions are major ones, especially on the RuneScape Forums article, so that's quality over quantity for you. I once again assure you that I would in no way abuse or attempt to abuse my sysop powers, and I have read through and understood this wiki's policies. Thanks for taking all of this into consideration, -- 18:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

''I, Soldier 1033, accept this nomination for adminship. I have read the policies concerning administrators. I realize that this nomination may fail. If I do get community consensus, I promise not to abuse my powers because I realize 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, -- 18:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC).

Support, you revert a lot of vandalism and could greatly improve the wiki with these tools. Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 18:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Weak Support Strong Support - I think you would be an excellent sysops. You are often on the wikia and so many times I have rollbacked or welcomed a user to find that you have already hit that enter key just before me granting you the post, lol. I only worry that you tell me I am not experienced enough in my time on this wikia, and you say I should wait to create my RfA, yet as I have more edits then you, you create yourself a RfA. This is why my support is weak., It's kinda contradicting what you say. 20:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You had about half the number of edits you do now when I said that. I didn't realize your edit count would go up so fast. I apologize for that. 20:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not worried about it at all, I was just curious. Change support to Strong Support 20:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't think you are expierenced enough to use sysop powers as you are only 2 months active. 21:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because I haven't been here as long as some doesn't mean I'm not experienced enough. I'm a bureaucrat on the RuneScape Clans Wiki. I know how to use sysop powers and I've read the policies regarding those powers. I'm curious as to what powers you think I'm too inexperienced to use. If you want, I could tell you how I would handle certain situations. 21:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Changed to Oppose - 300 main space edits. Not good. You are a good editor but you are new to wiki (relatively 2 months is not much). Best of luck., 04:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC:)
 * Why didn't you mention you were a 'crat on some other wiki -.-?, 04:26, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I did in the reason for nominating lol. Feel free to check on my sysop and 'crat contributions there. 04:31, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not about your contributions there, it's about your contributions here. 07:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, and the reason that my edit count is lower than some is because the majority of my contributions are major article edits and vandalism reverts. I could easily have a higher edit count by now, but I have chosen to spend more of my time monitoring recent changes and reverting vandalism. In regards to that and my major article contributions, it's quality over quantity. 08:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And according to Buzz himself, quality matters much more than edit count, so I can't see why he opposes. [[Image:Rollbackcrown.PNG‎]] Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 08:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well i looked at your contributions and out of 607 120 were on the mainspace and 189 were made on user talk. Sorry buddy I just feel you aren't quite ready., 23:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have over 300 main space edits. You're right, a lot of my earlier contributions were mostly on user talk, that was when I was inactive because of school. However, if you look at my more recent contributions you will notice it is mostly reverting vandalism. Most of the user talk edits within the past couple of weeks have been welcome notices that I've posted on new users' talk pages. 23:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Oppose sorry mate, your edits is not even over 500, you need 1k (or very close) of edits for a support from me  Btzkillerv has entered the building!   13:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * My edit count is over 1k last I checked, and if you're talking about mainspace, I will reiterate that the reason it's lower is because I spend so much of my time reverting vandalism instead of making a lot of minor article contributions. Quality over quantity. 17:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I am curious though as to why you've supported Kudos' RfA when he's been here since November and you're opposing mine even though I've been here since October. 18:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Pending Per low edit count -- 19:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should look at the quality of my edits then? 21:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Support - Good edits. Active user. I say that's a support from me. 21:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Oppose --Wartortle28 21:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What's your reason for opposing? 22:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Until he gives a reason it shouldn't be counted. (In my opinion)., 23:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because it's your opinion doesn't give you a right to decide what votes count and what don't. I oppose due to above reasons. Wartortle28 23:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * He doesn't have that right but you should elaborate on your decision. Just "Oppose" doesn't do much. 01:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry guys I worded that a bit wrong. Lost my train of thought but what I do know is that I didn't mean it like that. Sorry :s., 02:37, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Puremexican could you please respond to my comment under your oppose? 02:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Pending 21:56, 23 December 2008 (UTC) well somewhat I say I support because you try your best but it sounds a bit cocky to me..., you have to edit a little more, put better/ stronger word choices, and be more supportive about it...

Support Very helpful and active user. Much experience in reverting vandalism Eric329 22:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
