Administration » Sysop Archives » Boxy » 2008-12-04 Bureaucrat Promotion

A Helpful Little Gnome has demoted himself in the fallout from the last sysop promotion, therefore one position is to be filled by one of the below.

The election will end at 11:30, 4 December.

The current time (depending on caching issues) is 06:16, 19 April.

• A quick note - I'll be at Uni tomorrow and probably won't have decent access to a computer till I come home so the winner probably won't get promoted till about 6ish GMT. Just thought I'd say in case you thought I'd disappeared or something. =p -- Cheese 21:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

1. all hail Boxy By far the best candidate at this time(cos everyone else i would vote for is likely to withdraw) --Honestmistake 11:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
2. boxy über alles --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [511,20]} 11:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Because I don't know how active Karek is going to be over the next few months. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Ditto if Karek is going to be around more than i'll change my vote.----Sexualharrison 14:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC) and nao i changed my vote. sorry boxy your my second fav choice.

   I'm done traveling for the year, which means yes, starting today I will be around.--Karek^maps?! 17:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

3. Since I'm apparently the worst 'crat ever, lets balance it out with someone who knows what he's doing. -- Cheese 16:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
4. Dunno if you even want it, mate, but you're far and away the best candidate for the job. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 16:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Yup You were always a good 'crat for when there was a lot of drama. You have good experience in the job as well.--SirArgo ^Talk 17:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
6. Four More Years! As above.--Drawde ^{Talk To Me! DORIS Яed Яum Defend Ridleybonk! I know Nothing!} 21:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
7. Aye - boxy should be default crat on udwiki... --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

9. Aye Anyone but me or Karek. or is that Karek and I hmmmm Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 21:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
10. Yes - I trust him. Meh. --Haliman - Talk 01:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
11. Yes - Although I don't totally trust him, he is the best candidate standing this time. Swires will withdraw, I don't trust J3D yet (needs more experience, no offense,) I don't see Hangat enough, and I don't really mind Nubis and Karek, but don't like them enough to vouch.

User:Hagnat

I'm an inclusionist: if elected, promotions will be handled to all those who put the gold in the basket.

Seriously... I dont look forward to be promoted to crat, but i would accept it if elected. Vote for boxy, though, he would do better. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 13:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Nubis

1. cuz evil is funner --WanYao 11:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   all seriousness aside... ;P in spite of our differences, i trust nubis a lot more than a lot of other recent crats. etc... and, i feel like voting for someone different from the usual batch. --WanYao 11:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Wan, even though we have had differences I hope that I have at least shown that I can admit when I am wrong. (And that I am not wrong that often :P heh) --– Nubis ^NWO 15:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

2. for the horde --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 12:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
3. I'm going to vote for myself. Why the fuck not? --– Nubis ^NWO 20:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   we did had a bit about voting for self should be considered poor form, and that sysops should vote in any other whom they think could do the work right... and i cant remind any sysop ever voting for self based on this principle... but poor form is not against the rules, so nevermind. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Voting for yourself is not bad form it's just conceited. :P Not to mention the last few people I voted for didn't work out. I want to support a candidate I can believe in. I believe in myself.--– Nubis ^NWO 05:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

4. Same as Wan Yao. Change we can believe in. --#XX - Jack Sparta ^TMG 01:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

And the Winner is...

...Boxy with 19 votes. Congratulations. =)

This is (hopefully) the last 'crat election of 2008 and if everything stays peachy, the next one'll be around about the end of January/beginning of February with my spot up for grabs. -- Cheese 22:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
