'''General stuffs'''


*My first edit was back in May-ish of '07, so I've been here for a long time.
==Candidates Being Discussed==
*Some 5000 or more edits total. History purge makes lieeeeeeees!
<!---
*In that time I've helped newbies beyond the WN spamming, helped shape a policy here and there, tried and failed to get my own policy through (Didn't have enough voters total, can you believe it? Made me wanna cry), reverted vandalism, some suggestions maintenance, along with over all maintenance everywhere, including the admin pages when possible for me.
*I've only been warned due to a frivolous case against myself in A/VB, and because of an edit that was out of pure fun with [[User:Seventythree|73]] back when there was a large amount of spamming going on in the wiki. Also, the edit in question is the reason I put up the frivolous case.
*My desire to become a Sysops would be simply because I like mops and buckets. Shit needs to be done, always will, it's a job that I can do and like it.
*It seems the biggest reason many of the community was against my last bid was because of my inactivity. I've been active again since early November of '08, and was only inactive from the start because of health issues. I'm here to stay until I start hacking up blood again. :D
*I know the guidelines and policies rather well, and if there's something I'm not sure on, then I'll voice my opinion on it, but not provide anything binding or ruling.


'''Recent problems with some of the Admin team'''
''There are no candidates at this time.''


*I don't drink anymore, so I'm not going to get smashed and let a friend play on my account ;)
!--->
*I will own up to my actions, and not bug out if I screw up.
''There are no candidates at this time.''
*I won't be bypassing all that pesky red tape. Even if it is pesky.


'''Ummmm...Needs moar words?'''
==Recent Bids==


*I understand that the community changes over time, and will put my self up for review every six months should I be promoted. And should I break that word, I ask another sysops to do it for me, citing this bullet in my bid, thus invalidating any say against said review. If I'm not doing a good enough job, then I shouldn't be a sysops. Simple as that. If I'm not promoted, then disregard this, as I'm a pre-emptive idiot.

Again, let me know what I need to work on.

==Archived Bids==
 
''For earlier promotion bids, see the following:''
*(Dammit, I thought you were Iscariot). I am, of course, in support. Might I add that Engel is a good, honest, friendly, humorous user. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 01:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]]
* '''vouch''' - good contributor --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*[[:Category:{{LASTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|Last year's promotion bids]]
*'''Against''' - I urge the candidate to reconsider his standing. Any running validates the current administration and belittles the will of the community. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 03:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*[[A/SA|Sysop Archives]] for older bids and related sysop activities
*'''Vouch''' - Good contributor, friendly and would make a good janitor. Although I'm tempted to vote against because you are making us have two bids run at once ;P. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 03:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::And on a second read thorough, I must add that that's a tremendous risk your taking by putting yourself up for reevaluation every six months (somehow I missed that first time :/,) and only adds to my confidence :P. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 03:25, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - While I am sure that you would make a great sysop, I just don't think we need another right now. I think that in the current standing of the wiki, another sysop would only add to the confusion of the matters that are going down right now and won't do much good. I do not wish to vote against you however because, like I said, if people decide to vote you in I'm sure you will do a good job.--{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 03:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
'''Third vouch received''' 03:25, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*<s>'''Abstain''' - As SirArgo WRT the whole not-needing-another-sysop thing, plus I feel like he's a little... erratic. --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 04:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)</s>
*'''Vouch''' - Just saw the first bullet point under the Recent Problems heading. ;p --[[User:Cyberbob240|Cyberbob]] 08:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - I have much faith in this user.--<span style="white-space:nowrap;">[[User:Karek|Judge Karke]], self-proclaimed Decider of Everything and Ruler of All</span> 05:08, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - As karek. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 05:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' there's nowt wrong with having a bunch of sops, and the Angels a good candidate. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 08:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' Always had a keen eye for what is right and a good humored way to point it out. Frankly the "Deletions Scandal" won you my vouch long ago--[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 08:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - As Link (except for being tempted to vote against). --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>&#124;[[User talk:Midianian|T]]&#124;[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]&#124;[[:Category:Recently Closed Suggestions|C:RCS]]&#124;</sup></small> 12:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 
===[[User:Lithedarkangel]]===
 
Li was always a wiki lover. He is a good guy, has been around for almost a year, and has never been warned. He plays a prominent role in current [[Location Nuts|Wiki]] [[The Status Reporters|Projects]].He is a total achiever, and if he was given System Operator abilities, he could really make use of his talents. He tries his best to avoid all wiki drama as well. If you don't know who he is, please abstain, and don't vote against him. That just wouldn't be fair.
 
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Special:Contributions/Lithedarkangel
 
If anyone has any questions, I'm sure Li will be able to answer them as soon as he sees this (he stalks the recent changes page.) --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 00:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 
 
'''Response:''' I'm honored for the proposal, thanks hal. I accept this nomination. Now with the responses...
 
''Popularity:''I agree I'm not that popular on the wiki... maybe because I'm not part of vandalism.
 
''Drama?:'' About that bit... It's mostly because I do other stuff. Of course that being a Sysop will require with me dealing with that kind of situations and I have no problem with that. Furthermore, I have a great patience when dealing with drama.
 
''Vandalizing:'' Me?... Nice one... I would never do such a thing... really... if I do.. ban me.
 
''Sysop?:'' Well, it will help with all the administration I have to wait for. I can help with that work too.
 
''Conflict of interest:'' Concerning the conflict with my group. I must say I would never attempt to do anything not approved by the rules.
 
I hope this is enough...If not keep asking.--{{User:Lithedarkangel/signature}} 02:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

*'''Vouch''' - Obviously :) --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 00:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - "''If you don't know who he is, please abstain, and don't vote against him.''" I'll do whatever the hell I like, buddy. Sysop candidates should be well-known figures as the public spotlight will always be on them once they're promoted and going from obscurity straight into that kind of environment isn't a good thing. Besides, there's nothing he's doing that requires sysop abilities and functions that ''do'' require said abilities aren't difficult in any sense of the word. --[[User:Cyberbob240|HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS]] 00:43, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch, because agreeing with a troll is badd. (Seriously though, this is an Against, and anyone that perceives it otherwise is stupid)''' - Needs moar experience and renown. I should be able to come back from a multi-month long break and know who you are within a few weeks.--[[User:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkMagenta"> dǝǝɥs </span>]] <small><span style="color: Crimson">oʇ </span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">ɯɐds:</span>]] [http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Joining <span style="color: MidnightBlue">sʎɐʍ1ɐ!</span>]</small> 00:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - Firstly, you should contact him first and get him to come here and say he wants to be a sysop, otherwise you won't get much support. Secondly, I think Lithe's work in the last few weeks has been awesome, and being a sysop could allow him to skip pointless bureaucracy and do what he needs to do. The only real problem i have is this thing about avoiding drama, i don't see that as a good trait, a/vb and a/m are natural drama machines and i don't think we need more sysops who are happy to not get involved in those areas. If he comes over and makes a statement i might be inclined to change my view, not that you really want my support anyway, coz we  all know what that'll do to boxy's opinion of you.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 00:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*:lol bias. :D --[[User:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkMagenta"> dǝǝɥs </span>]] <small><span style="color: Crimson">oʇ </span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">ɯɐds:</span>]] [http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Joining <span style="color: MidnightBlue">sʎɐʍ1ɐ!</span>]</small> 00:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*:My, someone's feeling a little sore. --[[User:Cyberbob240|HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS]] 01:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - I like Li, I think he's a great guy, but he's just not prominent enough, and he doesn't need op privileges to do what he's doing now. I'm abstaining until I see evidence that sways me one way or another. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Provisional Abstain''' - The user needs to indicate a desire to be a sysop, they havn't on this page and cannot be promoted until they do. Also I'd be wary of the conflict of interest given their group's recent and on going wiki drama. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 01:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*:'''Re:''' - To be fair, the UBCS has <u>never</u> vandalized an Umbrella page. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 01:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*:::You'll notice I say conflict of interest and not potential vandalism concerns. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 01:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''who?''' - i guess cyberbob already said it, potential sysops should be users known by the public. I never heard of this guy (or girl), and by the looks of the others ''votes'' in here, i am not alone in that. --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 01:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

*::Potential sysops might want to be known by the other sysops, too. I don't recognize this name at all.--{{User:Nubis/sig}} 02:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - As Pestolence. He's a great guy, but doesn't need sysop powers just yet. Iscariot has a point over COI. I'm not saying that you would, but I wouldn't want you voting on A/VB with such a conflict. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 02:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*:'''Re:''' - Then... If you think my judgment could be affected I would not take part of that actions until this conflict is over.--{{User:Lithedarkangel/signature}} 06:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC) 
*::Really, it was only a small part in abstaining. If you left it another six months, kept up with your current level of activity, and participated in policy discussions more, then I wouldn't have a problem in vouching. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 07:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

*'''Vouch''' - He's a nice guy and I always see him contributing when I check out recent changes.  Li has made some requests on A/SD and A/MR from what I can remember, and I think he would be a great janitorial psyop.  --{{User:Zombie slay3r/Signature}} 06:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

*'''Against''' Not having heard of you I can't vouch that I trust your judgement...

*'''Abstain''' Lithe is definitely heading towards sysop status, and does indeed do a lot of those dull things that makes sysops so sysopy. '''However''' I haven't seen a lot of interaction helping new users, discussing rule changes or even on [[developing suggestions]]. Don't take this as a criticism but get out there a bit more! get involved in debates,vote on stuff like [[deletions]] and don't feed those trolls.

This page is for users to request System Operator status. The act of user promotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such users will need to request user promotion here. System Operators and Bureaucrats cannot assign promotions unless the request has gone through this page.

Guidelines for System Operator Requests

Users who wish to request System Operator status (and users who wish to nominate other users for System Operator status) should note that before they can be considered the following guidelines should be met by the candidate:

  • Significant time within the community.
We define this as at least 6 months since the candidate's first edit.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Significant activity within the community.
We define this as at least 250 edits in the past six months under the candidate's name.
Note: looking in a User's User contributions might give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.
  • Prior interest in maintaining the community.
We define this as clear evidence that the candidate is already performing maintenance tasks and taking leadership roles on the wiki.
  • Desire to become a System Operator.
We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire for the position (Note that if a person is nominated by another user, the candidate in question should note their acceptance of the nomination).

If a user is highly exemplary in one criterion, a certain amount of leeway may be given with the other criteria.

Once the candidate satisfies these guidelines, the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for becoming a System Operator. This is not a vote. It is instead merely a request for comments from the wiki community. This will continue for two weeks to allow all users an opportunity to voice their opinion regarding a candidate's qualifications for promotion. After two weeks, the Bureaucrats are responsible for announcing their decision within a reasonably short period of time. Users may continue to add their thoughts until the Bureaucrats announce their decision. The current amount of System Operators running should not influence your decisions when voicing your opinion.

Once the two weeks are up, the Bureaucrats will review the community discussion and make a decision based upon it. The user will be notified of the status of their request, and will be promoted should it appear that the community is willing to accept them as a System Operator.

Example Application

Example User

I've been around 3 months, and I've made to date 550 edits. As you can see [link here] and [link here], I've been in the leadership role attempting to create a new format for this page. I'd very much like to become a System Operator.

  • Vouch - I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
  • Against - Example User, I haven't seen any evidence of your work on the wiki. --Some user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Vouch - Example User is the most active guy here. --Another user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Abstain - I'm just not sure, but I don't want to say why for some reason. --Some other user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
  • Question - I just want to know what you think about this subject? --Yet another user 21:26, 4 April 2013 (BST)
