RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Bigd56

Bigd56
Hello, I am Bigd56, the #1 editor on FunOrb Wiki, which I am currently an administrator on. I am also a bureacrat on both the German and the French variations of FunOrb Wiki. I am skilled at coding themes and templates, as well as simply maintaining the Wiki. On Wikia in general, I have around 5,500 edits 6700 some edits, and I am generally trusted by the users of wikis that I edit. There are several people who would agree with me on these facts. I know what I am doing with just about everything that has to do with Wikis, and I never block anyone without first a warning, and justification for doing so. Even so, I will usually issue a short block, such as 2 hours as a warning before I block them for longer. If I were an administrator here, I could do things such as reverting vandalism, or fixing small errors in templates. I have never used my administrator powers for evil on any other wiki... for example, I will not protect pages to settle a dispute unless absolutely necessary, and I always treat other users as if their edits have the same value as mine. On RuneScape Wiki, my edits have included many things, for example, creating templates for new content, or welcoming new users. Before you judge this request based only on my edits here (which dont include vandalism, I assure you), take some time to also look at my contributions on FunOrb Wiki. Thanks for your support and consideration of me becoming an administrator on RuneScape Wiki. 00:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

''I, Bigd56, 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, 00:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC).

Discussion

 * Neutral (for now). Hmmm...THIS is interesting. A very dedicated 'crat from another Jagex-related wiki, attempting to become a sysop here? If you're asking me, that's very commendable. Though I still don't know much about your edits here, I will be glad to view them through your contributions.


 * I only have 617 edits here, but I usually only make large edits. One of my best edits here is the Gem cutting calculator, which I coded entirely from scratch, as nobody had started a Gem Cutting Calculator previously. 01:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, if you don't find me trustworthy enough to become an administrator yet, that is understandable, but could I at least be given rollback rights? 01:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've given you rollback as I see no reason not to. Skill 03:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - He should not allowed to request himself by adminship? 06:19, 3 October 2008
 * It is actually fairly common. Sometimes people just don't bother with nominating other users.--Varthlokkur 07:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose - While I commend your effors on the other Wiki, it is, in fact, not this wiki. I feel that administrators need to be trusted with the community in which they are going to be given the rights in. Certainly somebody who is a crat on the WoWWiki could not simply come over and nominate themselves because they are trusted elsewhere. Not to say you're not trustworth, but I feel that you still have some work to do with our community. For this reason, I feel that you need to wait a little bit in order to be given the powers of administrator on this wiki. 12:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not yet Neutral - Bigd, most of your work revolves around other Wikis, so we haven't seen you much on here, though that's not to say that your a bad editor. Your contributions are great - welcoming new users, making calculators, expanding and creating articles, developing a broad understanding of markup, but you should just stick around for a few more months so you have a better opportunity to familiarise yourself with the RSW, its workings and the community, then you can re-nominate for RfA. 04:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with what Degenret said, you have shown that you can be trusted with this responsibility, but you haven't really edited much on this Wiki, I'll rethink my vote. 09:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral - His contributions to the other wikis has been good, and I don't see any problems of him being a sysop. He shows that he can be trusted with sysop tools in other wikis, why not ours?  It doesn't matter which community you're in, a person's "reputation almost always precedes the person."  20:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was just wondering what would happen if Jimbo Wales self-nominated himself to be a sysop in this wiki, what would we do? I wonder... I didn't know that he actually plays RS with his daughter, and had a talk page here.  20:33, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Jimbo Wales is a staff member, who already have global sysop powers. Dtm142 20:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. I assumed that Jimbo Wales didn't have global sysop powers... 21:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I hope I don't count as inactive. I've never seen you around here. Sorry, but if you waityour turn, then it'll work out. 23:34, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Not yet - 09:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * '*SUPPORT - He has been here for over FOUR months. That really is long enough to know we can trust him. Sysop is no big deal and people are acting like it is. There is not a single legitimate reason to oppose. None. --Degenret01 09:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And for the record, I reviewed his edits only here on this wiki, its the only one that counts.--Degenret01 09:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I find his comment two below to be irritating to the point I must withdraw support. --Degenret01 05:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - I am one of the FunOrb wiki's bureaucrats, and I can vouch for his skill with templates and other technical issues (he did a lot of work on our custom theme). He has also shown his responsibility with admin and bureaucrat powers. I would support, but I'm very inactive here, so I don't think it's really my place to do so.

 * Comment - I have made a significant amount of edits since I last edited this page. For all of you who are either neutral or in opposition towards me becoming an administrator, I suggest you reconsider your positions. 02:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This RFA is most likely going to fly. When you try again, maybe you should completely leave off anything about the other wikis, since what you did there isn't too important to many of us here. And participate in more discussions so people can get a better feel for you. Just a couple ideas, not trying to be a critic.--Varthlokkur 05:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
