:Fuck you Revenant. Fuck. you. [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 16:44, 5 July 2010 (BST)
===[[User:Hagnat]]===
::Now that's one hell of an opening edit. Ill cycle this as unaccepted. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:46, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Hagnat/2019-08-14 Promotion|Archived as Unsuccessful]].
:::Not so fast bucko. Revenant has a decision to make. [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 16:54, 5 July 2010 (BST)
::::right. I'll leave the existing copy in unaccepted until you two decide if you're running. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:55, 5 July 2010 (BST)
:::::oh... fuck you. I hope you get it. fine, guess I '''Accept''' too. let the circus commence [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 17:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)

====Discussion====
*'''Vouch'''. Grim deserves a chance to prove to the people of the world that he is in fact a cuddly little teddy bear. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 16:57, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Question''' - Would you do a coup, a coup, would you do?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 16:59, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:'''Answer:''' Only if you made me crat [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 17:02, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*::Well that's my next crat vote sorted. '''Real Question''': Are you even vaugely up to date with wiki-events?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 17:03, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:::the only answer to that is "Not in the slightest". Although revenant kept dropping references to it, that sly fucker. should have known he was up to something [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 18:22, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*::::Right, I seem to recall you proposing a split of Arbitration in to Arbitration and mediation, for editting and personal conflicts respectively. It's always interested me as a policy, and would you be likely to persue this policy if you hang around?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 18:27, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:::::If ''he'' doesn't, ''I'' will, so we'll probably be making use of his brain one way or another. <small>([http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainInAJar In a jar], if necessary.)</small> {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 20:06, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Question''' Upon your last appearance you felt that the wiki, its policies and administration team were inherently broken (probably massively paraphrasing and distorting you here, but hey). Has anything changed in the intervening time, or do you still feel only a complete restructuring of the wiki is the only solution? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 17:07, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:I plan to work from within the system. The first thing on my agenda for restructuring is your face (do I know you?) [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 17:52, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*::Sorry, sometimes I forget we are different people. :P {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 17:54, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Too soon. Does not meet criteria. Spam bid. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 17:39, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*::You I vaguely remember. Something about fucking sheep. I wouldnt accept your approval anyway [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 18:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' – Wait, do I have to do this or is it assumed since I made the nomination? {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 18:14, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - I'm at your disposal, Dark Overlord of the wiki... -{{User:Poodle of doom/sig 2}} 18:36, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - Where do I have to sign for this.--{{User:Thari/sig}} 18:40, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - No, seriously 100% VOUCH! --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 18:48, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - I think it was my idea?--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 19:12, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - Whatever his past, Grim has proven that he cares about this wiki and has its best interests at heart. {{User:Aphelion/sig}} 19:58, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - I vouched for WOOT, Grim can't be much worse.--{{User:Michaleson/sig}} 20:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Abstain''' - You're a mean one, Mr. Grimch. Also, I really don't think I've lived through enough wikidrama to have an educated opinion on this issue.{{User:Lelouch/sig}} 21:49, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' mostly for all the memory's. and the impending drama storm that will come from it.----[[User:Sexualharrison|sexualharrison]][[Image:Starofdavid2.png | 18px]] ¯\([[Image:Boobs.gif|18px]])/¯ 22:02, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' I, for one, look forward to being under the iron fist of our cruel Overlord Grim. Also he cares more about the wikipedia than any other single user. He'll be an excellent Administrator. -- {{User:Goribus/Sig}} 22:55, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Terrible.  The last time he was trusted with buttons he fucked up so bad that Kevan to come in and fix his mess.  The fact that he didn't get permabanned is a joke, and this sysop bid is an even bigger joke, whether intentional or not.  If he really "cares about the wiki" so much he can prove it by making positive contributions to the community.  I suspect the only real reason he'd want to become sysop would be to see how bad he could screw up again.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 03:52, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - but a '''vouch''' for joke promotion campaigns. glad to see this one has slipped through the ever tightening net on wikifun.{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 04:00, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' - Too soon. Even if he was serious, the wiki has changed a lot in the past year and a half. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 04:55, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' I'm always in for a good coup. [[User:Oidar|Oidar]] 08:06, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - Level headed and rational, will make a fantastic sysop. --[[User:Thekooks|Kooks]] 14:57, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' -- As Giles.  [[User:Asheets|Asheets]] 16:22, 6 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' -- The wiki has been missing Grim. MOAR GRIM FOR WIKI 10' -- [[User:Sockpuppie|Jelly Otter]] 19:41, 6 July 2010 (BST)
 
===[[User:Revenant]]===
Two can play at this game. I only accept if revenant accepts. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 16:49, 5 July 2010 (BST)
:Sigh. But I ''just'' archived it. I'll stop editing a while, so you two can come to an understanding. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:52, 5 July 2010 (BST)
'''Accept''' – HARH! Fine! You'll rue this day, you bastard. <tt>:P</tt> {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 16:56, 5 July 2010 (BST)

====Questions, vouches, et cetera====
*'''Vouch'''. Revenant has shown himself to be commited and dedicated, and has a strong sense of right and left. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 16:53, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Question''' - Would ''you'' do a coup? A coup, would you do?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 17:00, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:Considering I advised against the original, and predicted the result, I'm going to say the answer to this should be self evident. The only method of government overthrow I support is via anarchy/direct democracy, not tyranny. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 17:05, 5 July 2010 (BST)

*::I've been busy. I now have more time on my hands and am getting to work on some projects I've nto had time for. If elected, I will probably work on as many fixes and reforms as I can, and then drop back to a general "maintenance" level of activity. I do already have pretty much the "Drama Pages" watched and know a lot more about wiki software and this wiki in particular than probably half the currently serving sysops. For what that's worth. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 17:57, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' – Now we are tied again, fucker. i still haven't forgiven you for this. Expect something epic [[User:Grim_s|The Grimch]] <sup>[[Project UnWelcome|U!]] [[Project Evil|E!]]</sup> 18:20, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*:But of course! I'll be waiting. <tt>;)</tt> {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 18:23, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Against''' -{{User:Poodle of doom/sig 2}} 18:37, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' because bringing Grim back might be just about the most positive thing anyone has done around here since the crotchety old git left ;) --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 18:50, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - Simply because you are the number one person I love to do voiceover work for when you are drunk and can't figure out a mic.--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 19:17, 5 July 2010 (BST)
*'''Vouch''' - I know Revenant well, and I can say that he cares about the rules, not just following them but also questioning and reforming them when necessary. Moreover, he's cool-headed, fair, not afraid to stand up for what he thinks is right, and not afraid to back down when he's wrong. Also, he has extensive wiki experience, not just with the UD wiki but also with other wikis, and as such he can provide an objective outsider's point of view that the sysop team would otherwise lack. In short, he's an excellent choice. {{User:Aphelion/sig}} 19:58, 5 July 2010 (BST)

*::::::It's funny, I could have sworn there was rational thought going on in there. And yet you continue to miss the point. Oh well. ''Not'' my problem, thank Eris. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 22:29, 5 July 2010 (BST)

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)
