RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Haloolah123

Haloolah123
First RfA

Second RfA

In my opinion, I could use sysop tools to make the wiki better. I've learned a lot since my last RfA, especially how to keep a cool head. I've done some decent editing around here, and I think sysop tools could further that. If I don't get it, oh well, life goes on. If I get it, I do NOT want a hilite added, thanks, 21:37, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

''I 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.

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

Anything I can, I'm not afraid to learn more. I would primarily be focused on yew groves, requests for deletion and the like of maintenance. I'd do anything else as I saw the opportunity arise. Another thing I would focus on is community interaction, as I have a profound love for helping people.

2. What are your best contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?

I, along with some others, came up with the idea for the user requests/help page, which turned out to be pretty good, at least in my opinion. I also helped make a pretty nice summoning guide and helped out with the community interaction lesson on the University of Lumbridge page, but I would say the most important contribution I have made, and can make is providing my opinion. We each have unique opinions, and I often have one that I think is very beneficial to discussions.

'''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?'''

Not recently. I did have a few, but I've just calmed down and kept a cool head, and it's all been good.

Discussion
Incredibly weak support - Hal is a great person, is active in community discussions and has a history of positive interactions with other editors (a few minor incidences notwithstanding). While I feel that the RuneScape Wiki doesn't really need anymore administrators, I know that he would do a good job with the tools, so I'll support. Very weakly. There are also one thing that I really like about this RfA: It is a self-nomination. That shows me that the candidate truly thinks that they are ready for this. 21:56, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you please shut up about "not needing more"? It is annoying me, and quite some other people disagree. And the fact that this is a self-nom is indeed a sign the candidate really thinks he is ready. I'd see that as a good sign. Then atleast the candidate REALLY believes in himself, and thinks he can handle the things. And the person who knows the candidate the best is the candidate himself.
 * No, I'm not going to shut up about it. This wiki doesn't need 400 sysops out of our 444 active users. I was hesitant about filing my RfA for that exact reason; we do not need any more administrators. It's just like bureaucrats; people should be granted the rights only if the wiki has a need. And right now, we really don't. 22:10, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * You stole that wording from my sandbox, didn't you, Ajr? 22:11, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, actually, I thought up all that myself. Well, I did use some insight from our IRC conversation ;) 22:13, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Strong support - If you'd asked me i'd nom you, as i actually thought of nominating you today because i saw you almost constantly at the cvu, but then thought "he thinks the wiki doesn't need more, so he won't wanna be admin himself either"(until i saw you changed your opinion). I also think you are quite mature in your behavior on this wiki. I think you can handle the tools, and i also trust you. (but please don't close FIMG nominations as you oppose most times ) 22:05, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Self-nominations allow editors to stand on their own ground, this is not to say it's bad to be nominated and I agree with Ajraddatz on self-nominations. I see nothing wrong with adding more administrators, and while we do have one of the largest (if not the largest at sysops) we keep the bureaucrat list small. I can see when we might have over a hundred sysops, with maybe one or two additions to the bureaucrats. Keep doing good work. 22:09, October 31, 2010 (UTC)
