- Takes a deep breath" I'm going to (gasp) nominate myself. As selfish as I am I feel bad more myself, If I be an admin, I'd keep this wiki clean of spammers, vandals, and personal attackers. *Takes another deep breath*, I bet i'll get alot of opposes but, what the hay? I just want to see if people think I'm good enough to be an admin. *Takes 1 last deep breath*, forgive due to me nominating myself. How selfish I am. =| --Blankothe3rd 07:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose I really don't know you that well which probally means you have a very small presence in the community. I'm not very familiar with your edits either. Don't worry I don't judge people for nominating themselves. --Whiplash 13:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Has been here for a while now, and it seems he has the maturity you need to become a sysop. I think he should be an administrator, even if he isn't here now. I also think it would please him if he came back to find out he became a sysop. Talk-to Cashman286(Level 38) 21:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

- Yes and I believe he stated he did not want to be for some reason. And it is also not allowed to sysop one without their own approval.
Ilyas Talk Contribs 23:15, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - Tirrian has only made a bit more than 500 edits. I think that administrators should atleast have 1,000 edits when they get administrated. So I'll change my oppose to a support when Tirrian has made about 500 more edits.

- Oppose. Thank you for the consideration, I'm honored that I might be thought of as "Administrator material", but first, do we really need another admin person? And second, to go along with Chiafriend, I really haven't made a whole lot of edits, especially if you'll notice that the majority of my edits have been on the forums and talk pages rather than the main pages of the Wikia. So again, thanks for the consideration, but for the moment I have to decline. I don't mind being nominated, and it's great to see that I'm "respected", so when I finally get enough decent edits, and if we actually need another admin person, I wouldn't mind being nominated again, but until then, no thanks. (By the way, I'm still gone, I'm just borrowing a computer for the moment)

Okay, so I've had my problems. I'd like to appologize. My opinions will not be expressed anymore. But other then that I believe I have worked really hard to help out.. Sure I have made mistakes that had to do with redirecting but I redid the whole emote article, I helped with small and large details and say what I know. As for the Zaros thing... I don't want to be judged on that, I am sorry and the opinions should not be expressed. But if you look throughout how I've done in editing, I think I've done pretty well. But its not my place to decide. Anyway, thank you for even reading this :)

Sacre Fi is a hard working member of the community. He has a good way of dealing with vandals, converting them, or just ignoring them and reverting or asking for the "vandal page" to be deleted. He has shown that he deserves this. He is kind to new users and shows them how to do things. He gives them tips. I have a habit of doing these things without informing the nominated person, so I wont forget. Still, he is doing great. He started in December, December 17 I believe. Ilyas Talk Contribs23:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose...Doesn't seem to have the right attitude. Deletes discussion simply because he doesn't agree with them; see here, and then doesn't dicuss why he does this; a la this. His attitude to discussion is wrong; he seems to think he owns his own talk page...Oh, and should probably read up on the rules a bit more; Jagex can do more than he seems to think. However, his attitude does seem to be changing for the good, insofar as I can tell over a couple of days editing, so perhaps sometime in the future. But not yet. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 11:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

- The task of a admin type person is quite a responsible job and requires a lot of dedication. I have been corrected by the current admins on several occasions for some ofmy unavoidable mistakes. It requires a lot of tact to deal with a fairly wide range of international contributors without alieniating them. Ask yourself if you really want the responsibility. Also be honest to yourself and consider if you can deal with impulsive and badly formulated reactions to your actions in a responsible way. Adminship serves the wiki and its contributors and should not be regarded as a "reward" for an individual. At this point, there is very little evidence that you can serve the community in this manner, so i side with the oppose votes. With time, maybe you will grow into the role (when you do you'll probably no longer want it). --Miw 11:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

MOST DEFINATELY OPPOSE. I'm sorry for bringing it up AGAIN, but you are persistant on breaking RS rules by using MoparScape. What's more, I do NOT like what you put on my talk page. Should we have a rulebreaker who uses ILLEGAL programs to play RS become an admin on the Wiki? I don't think so. MoparScape is lying to you when it says it is part of RS and has the same "cache" or whatever the heck it is you said. Don't expect to be playing MoparScape anytime soon, because I have alerted JaGeX about it (I WOULD put the message here, but the messages are for me and me only). Also, your swearing and cussing is getting on my nerves. You told me to grow up, yet I am probably ten times more mature than you are. Thus, I oppose your adminship request.https://i.imgur.com/7kyt1iT.gif --WINE OF GOOD HEALTH (Actually Stinko)

I've been here for 4 months, made nearly 1,000 edits, plus many people know me in this community and I know many people. I have an extensive ammount of knowledge of how to do stuff when editing to make text be bold, italicized, supifyedTalk 23:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)p>, subifyed, red, green, blue, etc.. I was getting pictures for the Wiki during the 2/24/07 riot in world 28, I confirmed that Black P Hats don't exist (even though the proof had to be deleted) and I have reverted some vandalisms in order to keep the Wiki tidy. So, should I be an admin, or wait longer? Chiafriend12

- I like your contribions and find them informative and entertaining. As a contributor, i expect an admin to be caring to the community and help with all the subtleties of the wiki. At the same time, an admin should defend the work against abuse. This is a hard balancing act, which requires additional skills you are still developing. What i like to see most in an admin is a view where this wiki needs to go. Will the wiki flourish as a pure information database? What goals should the wiki aim for? Should it be a leading fansite or something else? Your ideas will follow from that vision and that is when contributors will request you to serve them. Until then, please continue your great work as a valued contributor. --Miw 11:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry to throw it at you, as I think that you deserve this, but nominations must be held for at least 2 weeks before coming to a decision. However, since you seem to be backed up by a lot of people, you will become a sysop, no doubt about that.

I always wanted to be a admin but never got the guts to request it, but the day that Total Rune was vandalizing Wiki made me post my name up here. It is ok if you don't support me. I understand. I haven't been here that long anyways. I do think I started somewhere in January or February. Patcong talk

- 3) this isn't Wikipedia

- Strong oppose - Wikipedia is Wikipedia. RuneScape Wiki is not Wikipedia. So what, you have quite a few edits there, they are totally separate and you should contribute more often here first. You only have one edit in the article namespace. ONE EDIT. It doesn't matter what you are going to do, what matters is what you already have done. You've only been here slightly over a week, anyway. Wait another few months, and make some more worthwhile contributions. AScott00
03:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose, unfortunately - this seems to be exactly what I'm talking about... I really do think you will know when it is time to become a sysop when someone nominates you first, and that's probably the reason why it's called "nomination." I'm sorry if I make it seem like I'm targeting only you, as this applies to everyone. Also, you can still do all of those things on your list now, and that might get you a nomination when you get enough edits. Good luck when they do nominate you. :) --Sαcrε Fι (edit my sig) | (edit my user page) 03:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Extremely strong OPPOSE - I may seem harsh...but see the following reasons:
- You have 37 total edits
- You have ONE main page (article) edit
- You haven't been here long enough
- Just because you say you're going to do things doesn't mean you will...writing articles for all the creatures and items in runescape is a huge undertaking that will take you several months
- Nominating yourself makes you look overly ambitious and somewhat selfish

- Oppose, until you actually get some things done that will help the community out. Being a Sysop really doesn't help your ability to be useful, it just means you have some administrative abilities. Who's to say you'll use those abilities correctly on RS Wiki? When you've been here long enough for us to see how you contribute to this community, then you'll certainly be able to get nominated and supported.

Hi all. I hate nominating myself, but I wanted to make it known that I'd like to have admin rights. I have only been here for a few months, but if you look at my contributions you can see I've already been acting like an admin, only without the shortcuts that an admin would have. Though my mainspace edits are only in the low hundreds, I think you can see that they are high quality and professional.
Before you object to my time on the Wiki or the number of edits I've made, keep in mind that the sysop position isn't a glorified editor position. Users should not be given sysop based on their time here or the number of their edits, but on their proven ability to carry out administrative tasks. That said, I'm open to whatever opinions you may have.
I may note that I'll be on vacation starting Friday, so I may just let responses build up until my return the following Sunday. Don't think I'm ignoring this thread. Endasil (Talk) @ 18:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- You've been here a little over a month. I don't even know you lol.
Dreadnoughttalk 01:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the response...though I don't know what to say other than "ok." As I tried to carefully say in my paragraph above, I'm not seeking this position because I'm chummy with all the other sysops, because I believe that's the type of environment we're trying to avoid, and I'm not seeking this position because I've been here a long time or make major contributions. Major contributions should have no bearing on your ability to perform administrative duties. You can continue making major contributions without administrative authority. The point was, I am seeking admin because I already have been performing administrative duties, and would like to make that easier on myself to do. Just take a look at my contributions and you can see what I do most on the Wiki. Hi, I'm Endasil by the way :) Endasil (Talk) @ 02:11, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I see the "all editors are equal" policy thrown around quite a bit, and you're definitely better than the random person who wanders in off the internet and goes for an RfA. Going through your contributions, I like what I see. Nearly half (exactly if you round up the percentage) your edits are mainspace, and they are quality edits. Even if this is too soon, or if we've got enough admins for the time being, I think you'd make a good sysop. You've got my support. AScott00 04:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not yet - You are a good editor, but you've only been here for a month (or so). In a few months or a couple hundred edits I'll support.

Thank you all for your comments thus far. I respect all of your opinions, and while I've argued that edit count and length of time shouldn't be a factor in whether one becomes a sysop, I do understand that both are essential in becoming trusted by the community. I'd like to shortly share why I am seeking admin powers. I am for the most part seeking just the roll-back capability and the delete page capability, because I often end up reverting vandalism and marking pages for speedy deletions. So, I'm going to leave my nomination open for the next week. As I've said above, I'll be gone for the coming week. Feel free to post your support or criticisms while I'm gone, and again, please don't think I'm ignoring you.

- I think you could make a few improvements as a user, including making sure of the correct spelling before correcting others' spelling, but this is not really related to sysop. I think you have the maturity to be a good sysop, just make sure you always evaluate a situation before making an action. Endasil (Talk) @ 15:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I nominated myself, but after my sysopification (that isn't a word is it?) someone (was it Whiplash? Vimes?) declared that users can't be sysoped when they nominate themselves. I'm only opposing because of that. If I read it wrong and can prove that it says something else, then I'll change my oppose to a pending. But still oppose. Chiafriend12

- Meh, I've never voted before for an RFA, so I regret that my first vote would have to be somewhat strong oppose. =\ Although I appreciate his help with the arguement last night, I feel that's exactly why he may not make the best sysop. An admin should be able to stay neutral during heated arguements and I feel that neither of us are really able to do that.

God I hate you guys but I'll say this anyways in hopes of re-informing you about myself. My brother is no longer in control of this account. I'm very glad to have been nominated. I nominated myself once earlier and when my brother was in control of this account he tried. I know this is probably gonna end up being a long post but I thought I should let you know this. I do work full time at a Food Basics here in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I'm done high school, I'm 19 years old. I'm always watching the Wikia, even when you think I'm not. If I can't sleep at night I'll pull an all-nighter and stay up watching the wikia and reverting vandalous edits. I'm like the Silent Wikia Watchman. So in closing, Vote for me and Don't feed the Tz-TokJad! Like the band Hinder said in their song "Get Stoned"; "If it's not perfect, I'll perfect it 'til my heart explodes".

Or are you meaning identifying someone as a vandal and then blocking them without seeing consequences? --Whiplash 20:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Vim, I think I know what you're trying to say. You're looking for a high degree of professionalism, which transcends the ability to make the right decisions or have the right intentions--it involves sensitivity to others no matter what the right decision is, and the ability to maintain neutrality and formality of speech when carrying out actions. It's really comes down to what a bureaucracy is defined as: definition here. Is Whiplash a really effective admin? Absolutely, no one has disputed that. But is a Bureaucrat a unique role, or just the "next step up." If it's a unique role, than it should have more specific requirements or desired qualities than "a good admin." That said, I can see that Whiplash is ready to take advice, and that alone makes me say Conditional Support (the condition being the promise to allow others to contribute advice as to how he runs things).

Um.......Ilyas, Wikipedia has several hundred times more articles than us (1,697,189 to 3,264). The reason that Wikipedia only has a few bureaucrats is because the WikiMedia Foundation doesn't trust it's crown jewel to just any contributor. They don't make strangers bureaucrats, although they will make helpful contributors into sysops. In order to be a Wikipedia bureaucrat you have to actually work for the organization. And they have very few paid employees, because almost all the content on Wikipedia is created by contributors. So you can't really compare us to them. As far as our little wiki goes, we should only need 10 bureaucrats by 2008 at our current rate of growth, and maybe 25 sysops. And Whiplash is a good choice to be one. Support. Gangsterls

Comments: Although Whip is an excellent admin, he has been here a relatively short time compared to many other admins that aren't crats. Takes Vimes for example. Vimes has over 5,000 total edits, and 3,000 mainspace article edits. Whip has over 3,000 total edits, and nearly 2,000 mainspace edits. I looked at a few other admins who I feel do a good job and have been here a long time, however time is not the only factor in volume of edits. Huang has a little over 600 total edits and almost 300 article edits, while Avian Main has over 1200 edits with over 800 of those being mainspace edits. This shows that Vimes and Whiplash are among our most active admins, but the bigger question, and the reason for many oppose votes to Whip's nomination, is that it is debated whether we really need another crat. A lot of negative votes in nominations for both sysop and crat gave the reason: we don't need another crat (or admin). This isn't really fair to the one nominated, because they get opposition that isn't based on their contributions or work but just because there's a lot of admins or people don't think we need another. --CRAZY IDEA ALERT!-- I've come up with a sort of election process that would help solve several issues with our adminship system, such as:
- Rushes of nominations (the adminship fad comes to mind)
- Many contributors being sysoped within a short amount of time
- Admins or crats could be elected as needed, and candidates wouldn't receive negative votes because people don't want another admin.
I think (and I'm sure someone will disagree) that people should be able to start a poll when they think that we need another admin or crat. Contributors would be notified with an alert, and voting would take place. Then, if after a week or so the majority rules that another admin or crat is needed, those who are felt to be worthy candidates can be nominated. All nominees would have to agree to being nominated as usual. After another few days (gives some time for nominations), we start another poll, this time the poll is: 'Who do you think should become the new sysop/crat?'. All nominees who agreed are listed, and after another week of voting, we have our new admin/sysop!
Just for fun, not putting the system into effect, but I'll put the poll anyway so Whip can get a feel that he's not getting negative votes because of a fault on his part:

It's not a limit... basically when someone thinks that there should be another sysop then they start a vote. If other people agree, then people are nominated and voted on, and whoever gets the most votes is made a sysop. It actually makes it easier to become a sysop, because once people agree that another sysop is needed, then whichever candidate gets the most votes will be one. At the same time, no one can be nominated unless it is voted that another sysop is needed. Gangsterls

- Wait a minute Chia! How can you be oppose and neutral? And too many crats? Let's count, there are 49 (somehow) active members here, and only 3 of them are active bureaucrats. That makes like 4,5% of members into crats. I don't think we find our wiki filled with crats anytime soon. User page "Katshuma" Talk page 20:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- A whole wiki made up of trusted bureaucrats. =D Nominations for bureaucrats don't happen too often... I wouldn't expect another for a while. --Sαcrε Fι (edit my sig) | (edit my user page) 07:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
- Administrators are also respected members of the community, and we may get too many b'crats, and eventually have our whole wiki be made up of b'crats. We'd have to say "too many" eventually, so I say "why not now?"
I'd just like to make a point. These are the powers that a bureaucrat has.
- promote other users to administrator or bureaucrat status;
- grant and revoke a user's bot status; and
- rename a user account.
Sysops have powers that are useful to the average user (revert, mediawiki, etc.), but bureaucrat powers really aren't. Giving a trusted user sysop powers can benefit the wiki, but giving a user bureaucrat powers is really just a liability (see User:Shadowdancer}. I would trust Whiplash as a crat, but he doesn't need those powers. --Wowbagger421 21:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
No referances to Shadowdancer please. --Whiplash 21:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry. Like I said, I trust you, but it does show what can happen. I'm not protesting against you become an a crat (I haven't even voted yet). I just don't want people to think that once you've been active for long enough you get to become one. Sysop should be like that, but bureaucrat shouldn't. --Wowbagger421 21:15, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes that is understandable. :) --Whiplash 21:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Whiplash has shown he deserves this. It is not only that he has been here for a while, but that he is very active, makes very good edits, has a large presence in our community and can be trusted with these powers. What happened with Shadow, however much I may want to avoid that, is probably very rare. I don't think that this has happened, if not 2, more than 5 times EVER on any wiki. Think about it, a sysop abusing their powers and blocking people for random reasons... I don't think Whiplash would do that. My vote remains Support.

- Shadowdancer was a great contributor to our wiki he did much of the earlier editing, however to those of you that remember couchpotato99. Couch engaged Shadowdancer in an edit war on the bolts page eventually this lead to a climax where Shadowdancer banned everyone on the wiki. After this he lost his sysop powers and some nost saying names treat him as an exile from the wiki. He quit RuneScape back in February 2007 due to a variety of things. --Whiplash 13:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- Shadow was a truly superb editor, a fantastic content contributor, and used to revert vandalism and things. He was an ideal candidate for being an admin. BUT, he didn't get on with anyone, it wasn't just couchpotato he engaged in edit and flame wars, it was almost every other contributor to the wiki. He lived by the Flamer's Bible. There were several concurrent campaigns to get his adminship revoked at one stage, which culminated in him reacted badly and trying to block every other contributor to the wiki at the time, needless to say his adminship rights were stripped and himself blocked. --Eucarya Talk 11:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

- It is? From my angle of view this has turned to discussion about Shadowdancer. I think we should end this soon, isn't 16 votes enough? :O And by the way I turn my Support to Very Strong Support. I really think we need another crat when Vimes has left the wiki. User page "Katshuma" Talk page 13:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
What're you talking about, Vimes hasn't left. He is merely editing less often. Ilyas Talk Contribs 19:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- But he told me so at the bottom of this page: User talk:Vimescarrot/Active users Hmm... Maybe it was a lie? User page "Katshuma" Talk page 20:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Read my nomination thing. Not very nice to be laughing at a nominee, and yet you want to be a B-crat. Well you just screwed yourself out of a vote buddy. Real smart. {{Signatures/Total Rune}}19:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support. If Vimescarrot
is really going to leave the wiki, then we should have another active Bureaucrat. Whiplash has done a lot and deserves it. Dtm142 20:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Since Whip laughed at Total Rune, I say 100.1% oppose in an effort to heal Total's emotional wounds (if they haven't already.). Chiafriend12
