ThePsionic is one of the most active contributors to the wiki, and I think he has a legitimate use for adminship. He's usually around for new updates, and he's one of the more involved countervandalism people (not that that means much these days). He is also very project-oriented, and has at various times taken a big role in large, structured tasks that improve the site in a noticeable way. He's also good at finding easy ways to solve hard problems, using whatever information is available (particularly various Jagex APIs). Those are both mindsets that I really want to see ingrained deeply into the wiki's culture, and I think Psi can help a great deal with that. I've had reservations about his behavior in the past, but my impression is that that's done with. He's done a lot of good stuff for the wiki in the last two years, and I have high hopes for what he can do as an admin. ʞooɔ 12:15, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
I, ThePsionic, 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,

Questions for the nominee
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
I will continue contributing to the wiki as I am doing now, which will be made easier with my ability to delete pages, as well as undoing vandalism and fixing up edits where I can. I am pretty much always in the chat when I am online, and I tend to visit IRC from time to time as well as having a Skype account, so I am always contactable if someone requires my assistance.
2. What have been your most helpful contributions to the RuneScape Wiki, and why?
At the moment, I am the sole updater of Treasure Hunter/Promotions, and I tend to update music track files fairly quickly as well as having my eye on the recent changes almost always. I often make new pages when it comes to updates, and I can utilise Jagex's APIs in order to get information about newly released items and NPCs. I am also currently leading a large project to improve monster data, which will make monster pages machine-readable to make it possible to automate the Bestiary so that it always stays up-to-date. I have also done a lot of cleaning up using my bot account.
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?
I have not been in any edit wars in my time on the wiki. There have been alterations with several users, but those have been solved fairly quickly.
I do want to let you know that I was part of the "cabal" that shook up the Clan Chat at the start of the year, however more as an onlooker than anything. I have said... things, which were pretty stupid in hindsight (I'll let the forum thread speak for itself), and I regret the actions I have made during that time. I can make a promise that fallout like this will not happen again.
4. Should this request be successful, which of the following, if any, do you wish to be added to your account: IRC operator; Clan Chat administrator?
I would like to become IRC operator.
Additional questions (asked by the community if necessary)
Why are you never in irc anymore?????????? I think you should only be allowed to be given operator if you're actually active. I miss you. Please come back. MolMan 13:37, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

What's with this secondary Qabal you're in? MolMan 13:37, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Qabal is the name of the clan I am in. Oil came up with the name, I had no say in it. ThePsionic 14:00, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
- I'm concerned with the specific people that are in this clan. What do you guys do as a clan? And why are you always in RSW, often talking of your own clan's business? MolMan 14:08, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
- We do jack shit as a clan, the only reason we left RSW and founded our own is so that we could enjoy the benefits of an avatar for ourselves. And we very barely talk about our clan in RSW. ThePsionic 14:10, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Question: What changes have you made since last Rfa? Raglough (talk) 13:15, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
- I have, in my experience, become more active since the last RfA, and I have been taking on bigger projects. I also feel like I can handle big problems better, keeping a cool head in times of trouble rather than flipping right off the figurative handle. ThePsionic 13:19, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
Neutral/Soft support/Fuck no strong oppose - My stance really hasn't changed since the last time around. You are pretty active on updates, but still fairly lacking in antivandalism. I'm also leaning towards a very strong oppose, because Maceypants supported your last RfA. MolMan 13:37, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Neutral - My stance hasn't changed since ur last RfA (to quote: "I've seen you do some anti-vandalism stuff I guess. On the other hand, you're a nice, friendly guy and I'm sure the tools would be used well.") Star Talk
