| Yeah, its me again. This time i am going to do this seriously, as the previous one was a mere joke.

|
| Thing is, I care for the urban dead wiki, and i care **A LOT**. This should've come without saying, i suppose... What I don't care for is its rules, its wikilawering, as anyone who have seen me in action known for a fact. I care for its users and its history. What matters for me is that i have fun, and so everyone else. That's why we are all here after all. You all know that i am a rogue sysop, but i do use the power for the greater good of everybody.

| If promoted, i dont promise that i will be more active in the wiki. Heck, i will be as active as swiers was in its final months. -- ok, i will be a lot more active than that... i have to come in here to blank my talk page every time harris edits it -- But i will be here as i always have been, i will be another one which everyone in here knows that can be trusted to banhammer bot, revert whatever vandal comes around and provide an neutral view on things. I will also try to <del>usurp power from kevan</del> grant more power to all of us which currently are no more than regular users.

| |
| *::If this is serious, then okay. I know much of your bid was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, but it brings up several important points. Namely, what janitorial work or indication of prior interest in maintaining the wiki can you point towards? In looking through [[Special:Contributions/Kirsty_cotton|your contribs]] (note: we have to go back almost a year before we hit 500 of them, meaning you do not meet criteria 2), I don't see a large number tied to any janitorial work at all. You do have a leg up on the average wiki user, in that you've not been afraid to get involved with administrative matters. That said, you also poked fun at yourself and your wikilawyering tendencies in your own bid text (and have referenced your related real-life background), which makes sense, given the recent Misconduct case you filed (it bears repeating that I don't think you were in the wrong for filing that case, though I do think it was a bit on the extreme end of the options available to you).<br />You also recently [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2013_Q1#Kirsty_cotton|took a leave from the wiki]] for [[UDWiki:Administration/De-Escalations/Archive/2013#Kirsty_cotton|about a month]], which is an indication that you may not be interested in it. What brought you back and what assurances do we have that you won't leave again? Related to your motivation, why do you want to be a sysop and what do you think you can uniquely add? You've mentioned that you think we "need differing voices in the sysop team", but I'm not sure of that. I think that dissension for its own sake is rarely productive, and that what we really need are people who are unafraid to voice opinions they've reached through independent, reasoned thought and who come from differing perspectives, which is something we already have (see #4 in [[User:Aichon/Other/So_you_want_to_be_a_sysop%3F#Drama_Work|the Drama Work section of my sysop guide]]). Even in the events related to the recent Misconduct case, several people commented on how unusual it was for the sysops to agree unanimously on a topic that was so controversial. And with the wiki as quiet as it is these days, adding someone to the team who comes up short in the sorts of tasks that we're doing 99% of the time just so that we can have them around on the off-chance that drama happens doesn't make for a compelling reason. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:04, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:::There is some truth in this and the recent motivation question is a concern but I think having a new sheriff in town who can have the sysop team perhaps take a step back, look at a decision and ask "Is this really consistent with policy? Are we handling this the best way we can and in a manner that is consistent with the expectations of the community?" is not necessary a bad thing. I see Kirsty as that person and I think the team could use that person. Lack of janitorial work is a concern but I think Kirsty is perfectly capable of doing those jobs. Look at this way: Either you gain another sysop who pitches in the janitorial duties, has experience and interest in improving the policy aspects of the wiki or you don't and they are booted at the next A/RE. Not a lot of risk here. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 02:20, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *::::The "give them a test drive" argument has never held much water with me, given that you could apply it equally well to pretty much ''any'' candidate. And Bob was side-by-side agreeing with Kirsty through a lot of the recent drama, so there's an argument to be made for saying that we already have someone filling that role. Moreover, asking those sorts of questions is not something that you need to be a sysop to do, which Kirsty has already demonstrated capably. Plus, the community expectations issue you cite seem rather hypothetical in nature, rather than grounded in reality. After all, the recent drama ensued ''because'' the sysops took actions that were allegedly contrary to the letter of the law in order to protect something that was clearly in line with the community's wishes. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:22, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| *:::::Difference of opinion I suppose. There are people who I think could do the job (Pre-sysop Rev/Peralta/KC) but may fall short in some area (drama/experience/experience), and with the safeguards of misconduct and RE, I think the potential reward outweighs the risk. Yes, someone does not have to be a sysop to ask those sort of questions, but to me, it shows an interest in improving the wiki, an interest in the policies and background governance of the wiki, and a capacity to think and raise concerns about a challenging issue. Routine sysop tasks can be learned on the job. My only concern, especially with some of the recent comments, is interest in performing those duties and only KC can really answer that. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 19:39, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| *:::::::I would perform the menial/tedious admin tasks. I can't say it seems like a super fun activity, but it is necessary for an orderly and well-kept wiki. I'm aware that 90%+ of what I'm asking is to get to ban spambits and delete or move pages on request. --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 05:57, 6 April 2013 (BST) | |
| *:::I was active in the [[MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Permaban_Appeal_Revisions]] discussions. As for janitorial work, I've got a bit of spambit hunting and that's about it. I believe I've shown some interest in maintaining the wiki through the aforementioned admin related discussions. I have also made some improvements to my wiki code knowledge (not much, but some), which serves me no purpose other than this wiki. As for my departure and return, I find the wiki an easy source of wasting time, which is the reasoning for both. I can't make any promise that I won't depart again. I have no plans to do so, but I can offer no guarantee RL won't mandate it. I'm not 100% on board that dissension for the sake of dissension is a bad idea. There is a value to dissension, so long as the goal is improvement to the wiki or procedures. It seems some policies and ways of doing things are hold overs from the good ole days when the wiki was a hotbed of drama. I don't honestly have any unique skills or abilities to offer. I could learn to do admin tasks, but I don't have any pressing project or really a specific need for the buttons. I think I hit all your questions? I'm well aware of my shortcoming in relation to being a sysop, and I feel I should do better selling myself. But, I think we all know I'm pitching a used kia, calling it a new mercedes isn't going to fool anyone.--<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 02:38, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| *'''Question''' - Do you have a preference of pronoun, and if so, what is it? I've been using "she" consistently because you primarily RP a female character, but should I be using "he", or each one in different circumstances (eg. in-game discussions v. wiki-related ones)? {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 17:36, 4 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:I don't have a preference. Picking a female name basically took that option from me. If you want for RP reason to use one or the other that is fine --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 22:51, 4 April 2013 (BST)

| *::Thanks. I'm going to '''against''', both because it seems you're not that enthusiastic about the job, and because I'd like to see you make a more concerted effort towards wiki-improvement in the next few months. But if you do so, and bid again then, you'd likely have my support. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:48, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| *'''Question''' - Is this a serious bid to be a SysOP or not? I'm with Aichon. If this is now serious, let's take it seriously and remove all of the April fool's stuff. If you really want the job, I'd like to see you make an honest run at it. I don't think this sideways approach is the way to go if you're serious.--[[Image:SarahSig.png|90px|link=User:Sarah Silverman]] 23:44, 4 April 2013 (BST)

| *'''Against''' ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>01:15, 5 April 2013 (UTC)</sub>
| |
| *:Some justification since it came up during crat discussion. I care less about UDWiki politics and beaurocracy than I did a year ago. A lot less. Pretty much the way sysops have been running the place is fine by me. The reason for my against vote was because I saw it as a joke bid gone overly ripe and wasn't really convinced otherwise by the time I commented. Still not entirely convinced its not. I suppose there are also some personal misgivings. Conduct during the Izumi appeal, jabs here and there about how much the sysops suck. He even has a page devoted to that last subject in his user space. We're more or less polar opposites in regards to the wiki and those types of attitudes by others are one of the reasons I stepped down from sysop last year. In the end, this will probably all come down to a crat decsion and feel free to regard this as a "weak against" or "meh". ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>19:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)</sub>

| *What do you think could produce more interest in the wiki, wiki community, and/or game? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 03:46, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:I'll go with wiki community, although both. The game to wiki conversation rate is small, I guess (I have no idea how many unique players the active number represents). However, the new users who stop using the wiki are a 100% loss. I still find wiki navigation painful at times and although the wiki community in general is fun (if you get used to it), there is a steep welcome curve (see: [[User:Peralta]]). --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 04:13, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *::Indeed. The wiki has been historically not very welcoming to new users. Probably not much better nowadays.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 23:55, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| After two weeks of community discussion, we bureaucrats have decided to '''decline''' that bid for now. The community vote was a contested one, with both strong points for and against you. My personal recommendation would be that you should:
| |
| #step up your contributions,
| |
| #add a healthy dose of janitorial gnomewerk to your contribs, and
| |
| #improve your knowledge of wikilaw.
| |
| If you follow that advice, you should arrive at the point of being elegible within a few months. --'''<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>''' 22:36, 15 April 2013 (BST)
