==Candidates Currently Under Community Discussion==
===[[User:Bob Moncrief|Bob Moncrief]]===
{{bid|Bob Moncrief|PM}}
I'm nominating Bob. For those of you who don't know him, you really should get to know him, or at the very least look through his history here. We [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Bob_Moncrief|tried to promote him]] a few months back, but he declined the nomination. Since then, he's just gotten more awesome. He's ''easily'' the most helpful user currently on the wiki, and has been for a few months.


Go look through [[Special:Contributions/Bob_Moncrief|his contributions]], almost all of which are high quality edits. What you'll see is that if he's not busy updating danger reports all over the city (which he does constantly), then he's busy single-handedly restarting the efforts of [[Project Welcome]], which has resulted in his [[User_talk:Bob_Moncrief|his talk page]] being covered by questions from wiki newbies and his helpful replies to them. If he's not busy with rejuvenating Project Welcome, then he's busy helping me (i.e. he's doing all the work) on a major project to restructure the [[A/SA|admin archives]]. And if he's not busy helping me, he's [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Bots|busy swatting spambots]] like mad. Between all of that, he's become the [[Special:ActiveUsers|most active contributor]] in the last three months, with about the same amount of useful contributions to the wiki as the four most active sysops...''combined''. Quality and quantity: a rare combination.
==Candidates Being Discussed==
<!---


As far as drama goes, anyone who knows him can tell he's a low-drama sort of guy. Moreover, he's shown with the recent [[UDWiki_talk:Administration/De-Escalations/Archive/2013|Izumi A/DE drama]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct/Archive/Rosslessness/2013|the followup A/M case]] that he's not afraid to enter the drama with thoughtful opinions that are stated well. And even then, he'll still ask questions and be open to considering new perspectives, rather than entering the discussion with a stance and sticking to it no matter what. As a nice bonus, he's not connected to any of the cliques that have been around. He's just a model wiki user.

'''Good behavior like this deserves to be punished.''' Make him a sysop. Hell, make him a 'crat. He can have my seat. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:Last time I was nominated, I declined because I could tell that I was about to enter my most work-heavy semester of undergraduate study. Turns out I was right, but that the work is finally on the downslope - I'll still be pretty busy for a couple of weeks, but by the time this gets processed, I'll be almost all done. Because of that, I'm '''accepting the nomination''' with my biggest thanks to Aichon for it. I also want to thank you, Aichon, for gathering a whole bunch of what I've been doing over the past few months on here, but I also want to mention some of the earlier projects I was involved with, namely [[UDWiki:Project Timeline|Project Timeline]] and the revamp of [[UDWiki:Featured Articles|Featured Articles]]. That's because they were the projects that really got me involved in the community here and in trying to improve the wiki, and, I think, set in motion the chain of events that led to this nomination.
''There are no candidates at this time.''
:That said, I do want to encourage you all to '''question me to your hearts' content'''. If you feel like there is anything you would want to know about me before deciding (or anything unrelated, actually), ask it. Thanks again! {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


*'''Question''' How is your graduation coming along? Last time, it has been the major obstacle for accepting the nomination. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 00:03, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
==Recent Bids==
*:I actually just handed in the full draft of my thesis yesterday, so all I have left is the revision process and a smidgen of coursework. I graduate in May, after which I'll have tons of time to dedicate to the wiki over the summer and into the fall. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::Very good. '''Follow-Up''' Misanthropy puts up a Permaban Appeal on Cornholioo's behalf. New user User:Heydrich shows up and makes a single edit, answering to each Against user and accusing them of being too Jewish. The IP of the user is Dutch, but doesn't match any existing user in the logs. What would be your reaction to this situation in the light of existing policy, precedent and wiki history? --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 12:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::I would not auto-ban the user, since there was only one edit (does not meet the 3eV rule). Because the IP does not check out, I would consider the very real possibility that someone has created an account in an attempt to discredit Cornholioo's A/DE bid, and would voice this in an A/VB case, voting '''not vandalism''' by Cornholioo but '''vandalism''' (due to racism) by Heydrich and, if agreed upon by the team at A/VB, would '''warn Heydrich'''. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 14:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::'''Follow-Up''' User:Heydrich responds by removing your warning from his talk page (2nd edit), leaves a threatening message on your talk page about gassing you (3rd edit) and finally votes on the A/DE vote in favour of unbanning of Cornholioo (4th edit). IP situation remains the same. Now what? --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 15:00, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::::I don't think removing the warning is against the rules (if it is, I can't find it anywhere). The vote to unban Corn is technically constructive. I would leave a message on Heydrich's talk page asking him personally to stop threatening me. If he does it again, it's back to A/VB. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 15:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::::Shit Spiderzed, that "Gassing" comment is so obscure as to border on obscene. --[[User:Rosslessness|<span style="color: MidnightBlue ">R</span><span style="color: Navy">o</span><span style="color: DarkBlue">s</span><span style="color: MediumBlue">s</span><span style="color: RoyalBlue"></span>]][[User_Talk:Rosslessness|<span style="color: RoyalBlue">l</span><span style="color: CornflowerBlue">e</span><span style="color: SkyBlue">s</span><span style="color: LightskyBlue">s</span>]][[User:Rosslessness/Safehouse_Hatred|<span style="color: LightBlue">n</span><span style="color: PowderBlue">e</span>]][[Monroeville Many|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]][[Location Page Building Toolkit|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]]  17:31, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::::::Very good answers. - And Ross, I wrote gassing on purpose with two s. I guess it must have been some sort of SS fixation. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 21:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::::::I was referring to the fact corn misspelt it as gassing once, and assumed you were testing whether the candidate recognised his specific penmanship. --[[User:Rosslessness|<span style="color: MidnightBlue ">R</span><span style="color: Navy">o</span><span style="color: DarkBlue">s</span><span style="color: MediumBlue">s</span><span style="color: RoyalBlue"></span>]][[User_Talk:Rosslessness|<span style="color: RoyalBlue">l</span><span style="color: CornflowerBlue">e</span><span style="color: SkyBlue">s</span><span style="color: LightskyBlue">s</span>]][[User:Rosslessness/Safehouse_Hatred|<span style="color: LightBlue">n</span><span style="color: PowderBlue">e</span>]][[Monroeville Many|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]][[Location Page Building Toolkit|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]]  21:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::::::::"Gassing" is a misspelling? Since when? Do you guys only use one S over there? Honest question. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:05, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::::::::It's not, but corn used several different spellings like gassing, gasing, gaz etc. --[[User:Rosslessness|<span style="color: MidnightBlue ">R</span><span style="color: Navy">o</span><span style="color: DarkBlue">s</span><span style="color: MediumBlue">s</span><span style="color: RoyalBlue"></span>]][[User_Talk:Rosslessness|<span style="color: RoyalBlue">l</span><span style="color: CornflowerBlue">e</span><span style="color: SkyBlue">s</span><span style="color: LightskyBlue">s</span>]][[User:Rosslessness/Safehouse_Hatred|<span style="color: LightBlue">n</span><span style="color: PowderBlue">e</span>]][[Monroeville Many|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]][[Location Page Building Toolkit|<span style="color: PaleTurquoise">s</span>]]  22:15, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::::::::As Corn was gone, even as Generaloberst, just as I was getting involved with the wiki, I didn't recognize any spelling as particular to him. Either way, I don't think it would matter, since it could still be someone familiar with his work trying to discredit him, as I mentioned above. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::'''WRONG''' - You obviously don't like what he's said and it's ever so borderline against TOU so it means you can perma him saying "got no time for this shit" then have the ops defend you in an A/M case you're obviously guilty in {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 22:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::'''Follow-Up''' As you have been digging through the sys-op archives, which sys-op do you consider to be the model sys-op? And why? --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 21:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::This is a tough one. I'm still reading through parts of the archive, especially the earlier A/M cases, so I don't feel able to name anyone who was gone long before I arrived. I'm tempted to say boxy, for maintaining strong neutrality and long-term gnoming, but (and this goes for Cheese and some others as well) neutrality is great if you're consistently active. I'm also tempted to say Aichon but I think I prefer him for his 'crat roles, and you specifically asked about 'sops. In terms of my personal experience, I'm most indebted to Vapor, whose friendly attitude towards a new user and encouragement to be involved was a major factor in my sticking around here. But I think I'm gonna have to say Ross, for being consistently around and making clear, effective, impartial decisions for such a long time, and also knowing when to step out and [[UDWiki:Administration/Demotions/Archive#Rosslessness|when not to]]. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 00:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
*'''Question'''. How would you, if the notion struck, stir some entertaining shit in this here mother? {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 00:22, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:A/DE Cornholioo. But in all seriousness, I've found the most entertainment tends to come about out of the blue, as, for example, by Izumi's recent A/DE, or [[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Suicidalangel/2010-01-02 Demotion|SA's first demotion]] (which I just recently found while moving it over to the Sysop Archives). Any drama brought about from calculated action ([[UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/Permaban Appeal Revisions|see here]]) is much less entertaining. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::That was kind of amusing for everyone I guess.--[[User:SA|SA]] 04:22, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::Follow-up question: Would you rather encourage or clamp down upon an atmosphere of mischief and anarchy that breeds events like that? {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 05:48, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::::If I have to pick, I pick encourage. Although I would rather let the mischief-making make itself than be part of its making. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 07:02, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::::'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k4fYIUuAP8 Same thing happened to me, not guilty]''' (Vouch). {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 21:21, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*'''Question''' - how would you deal with the offspring of Grim's  and Katthew, had it choosen to become an active trol... er, user in the wiki ? --<small>[[User:Hagnat|hagnat]]</small> 01:19, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:From what I can tell (and [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Grim s (1)|my sources are limited]]), Grim actually wasn't too objectionable back when he was a regular user. I know very little about Katthew, since we never overlapped, but from what I can tell most of the objections to her were after her (brief) sysophood as well. So I guess my answer is, go to the [[A/VB|appropriate channels]] if necessary, and otherwise, just against on any sysop bid. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:: Boring answer... no vounches for you :P --<small>[[User:Hagnat|hagnat]]</small> 01:37, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' Model user and will likely be a model sysop. Some users I worry a little that we might actually be promoting The Overlord who would then go rogue and force us to categorize images or something. I don't get that vibe with Bob. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 01:23, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

*'''Vouch'''--{{User:Sexualharrison/sig}}<small>21:16, 19 March 2013 </small>
*What do you think could produce more interest in the wiki, wiki community, and/or game? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 02:07, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:I think the most likely thing that would boost interest in the game would be the opening of another city, or the reduction in size of the one we've got, but both of those require Kevanic intervention. While it may seem like both game and wiki are losing a war of attrition, new players and new wiki members do arrive every day, so I think the best thing we can do is encourage them to stay. That's why I revamped [[Project Welcome]] - to increase retention of new wiki users.
*:We've sort of fallen into a trap of not making things happen because "the wiki/game is dying." Now, when something new tries to get off the ground, there's a chorus of "but there's no point because we're dying," which leads to the thing not getting off the ground, which just reinforces the cycle. By being bold and doing things, we get people invested and excited, and that process also reinforces itself. I'd like to do what I can to create an atmosphere that makes the latter, virtuous cycle strengthen and not the former, vicious one. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 03:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*::Okay. I'll add to that. I've figured a bit more fiction would do well to keep the interest in the wiki, though maybe not attract it. (For an old [[Lexicon:Main Page|example]].) --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 23:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*:::I read that as "friction" at first and thought "isn't that the one thing we don't lack around here?" {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>02:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)</sub>

*:Twist ending: Not only am I Yon, Axe, Aichon, Linkthewindow, Hagnat, Katthew, Izumi Orimoto, and every other wiki user, if you are reading this message, I am also you. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 04:17, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*Prodemote the cunt.--[[User:SA|SA]] 04:19, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
*'''Strong Against'''. I really like Bob and I think he's someone that improves the wiki. But since the Shortround "scandal" and Wank Hack's somewhat yet-to-be uncovered efforts to manage the same thing in the future, I don't want anyone becoming a sysop until I can verify that they are in fact a real human being dwelling in a basement, like me. Basically, that makes my ideal sysop team Boxy, Rev, maybe Karek. The rest of you are Cornholioos waiting to happen. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 11:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

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)
