Haliman111

Boy, this is gonna look bad.

Anyways, I've been thinking for a while now. I have interest in becoming a sysop. First off, my VB record is clean. No vandalism for me. Second, I try to keep a level head (and, in most situations, succeed). This is my first promotion bid.

I am willing, wanting, and able to spend my time trying to improve this community. I'm here to keep things running smoothly, clean up via janitor work, and help with general work. A/MR, A/VB, A/D and A/SD will be bookmarked. Promise :).

I have ~2000 recorded edits, have been around since early August of 08', founded TSR (which has been halted lately because of internet problems. I plan to fix that), and am trusted (and, I'll admit, distrusted) by many.

I have made mistakes in the past, but like everyone on the wiki should, I am learning from said mistakes. Feel free to ask any questions. --Haliman - Talk 03:37, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Vouch - Haliman is reliable enough to leave power in his hands. --Dr Moulder 15:54:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Deathwire has monitored Haliman from time to time and Haliman seems to be competent enough to perform any required duties given to him. -Deathwire 03:57, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I've come to know Haliman and find him to be mature and dedicated; he'd be a welcome addition to any endeavor --Amanda Hugenkiss 04:10, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I've known Haliman for a long time now and feel he can be trusted with a position of power. --Dwight easlebrough 04:24, 12 May 2009 (GMT)
• Vouch - For all the time I've spent over the past few weeks as a cadet I've found Haliman to be an upright and good man, he can be trusted with anything of importance without a doubt. Zhekarius 04:29, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - While I have seen you using the Admin pages, I don't think you have enough experience to become a sysop. Just looking through your contributions about 2/3rds of the last 500 edits (going back to February) have been to your own group pages, the rest to other pages with a small minority being the admin ones. I think it would also be of benefit for you to get involved with Policy Discussion as I don't think I've ever seen you on there. I'm not against because I dislike you, rather I feel that you need a bit more experience on the wiki (particularly on the admin areas) before you become a sysop. -- Cheese 08:41, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Retard, also gets his friends to dogpile his bid. --Cyberbob 08:49, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - I'm sorry I can't return the favour, Haliman, but I noticed the same as Cheese when I checked your contribs. You're primarily focussed on your group (which, of course, isn't a bad thing) but generally it isn't demonstrative of sysop material. You have plenty of time ahead of you to jump in those Admin tasks though, so don't be disheartened. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:55, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I was gonna have to go against, then i saw he got all his friends to vouch, and i just went nawww.--xoxo 09:02, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - The shit that was pulled at the beginning of the year speaks volumes. --SirArgo ^Talk 09:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Ignoring any personal history, and it would still be no. Simply because you have not enough experience. And you are blowing this up yourself by trying to meatpuppet, or whatever it is called. The first 5 vouches are all from people in your group, and most of them have no particular contributions other then these ones. It's painfully obvious.--Thadeous Oakley 09:34, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Also, your opening line suggest you don't even have faith in your own candidacy. If you think yourself that it looks bad, then why bother in the first place.--Thadeous Oakley 10:16, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  You do realise he's referring to the fact that he was the third applicant in as many hours? Seems like that personal history might still be clouding your judgment...--xoxo 05:07, 13 May 2009 (BST)

• Against - Umbrella relations fiasco. Also, the friend vouch thing doesn't matter because...

• 1. They don't have too many edits all in all, let alone in admin sections so they probably don't even know if you'd be capable to handle it or not.
  2. They're your friends and don't say anything other than "He's a good guy and doesn't afraid of anything". No citing of example or anything.
  3. Large amounts of vouches don't work because this isn't a vote.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 11:06, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• It's completely pointless to express a preference now that a 'crat that will still be serving come decision time has said he's against your candidacy. Promotions cannot occur on a deadlocked decision, so the most you can get is one 'crat for and one against which is no promotion. This is now taking up space. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:44, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Hugely weak against. I believe Haliman is learning from his mistakes, and that should be encouraged. Put in more time on votings and you may gain my (I know it's not a vote) vote. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:00, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against. I've nothing against Hal and I believe he'd make a good sysop.... one day. But I agree with Cheese in that he'd do well with having a bit more experience on the wiki. --D.E.ATalk 16:41, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against From what I have seen Haliman is enthusiastic and really would like to help out, I'm just not sure that I trust his judgment enough though and would like to see him more active in the Admin sections before I would swith to a vouch, --Honestmistake 17:16, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against Too many dramafests in the past. He's definitely been active on the wiki and in the community in general, but I just can't vouch for him at this time. Maybe after more time has passed. --Johnny Bass 17:28, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Need a bit more time after that Umbrella fiasco.-- Adward  17:29, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - As Drawde. --Pestolence^(talk) 19:57, 12 May 2009 (BST)

Alright, thanks to everyone who gave... Err... structured criticism. I'll be making my way around the Admin pages more now. --Haliman - Talk 20:50, 12 May 2009 (BST)

I was about to "vote", then I saw this comment. You're withdrawing your bid? --Janus ^talk 21:17, 12 May 2009 (BST)

I'll come back next time. What's that, three months? I'll be on the admin pages a lot more. I wanna help out. --Haliman - Talk 21:24, 12 May 2009 (BST)

Ok. :) Waiting for your next bid then. --Janus ^talk 21:44, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• strongly against --WanYao 21:55, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch Yes..New Blood is GOOD! and I think we've had people with more Drama in the past get ptomoted and do good things.Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 22:47, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Those people were (vaguely) intelligent. Haliman is not. "New blood" for the sake of "new blood" is an incredibly shitty reason to vouch for someone. --Cyberbob 04:50, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  But with the vouch I can accomplish something more without having to resort to a wall of text. hmmm? Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 22:13, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  alas..I see sarcasm is a lost art...and since the W.o.T. was moved to talk....against Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 02:27, 17 May 2009 (BST)

• Against - Needs more useful contributions. Or rather....Needs more existing contributions... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} (status:‎Mudkip!) 00:52, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - No, Sir. I don't like it. Not willing to deal with your kind of drama. --– Nubis ^NWO 10:31, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Against hell no. ----Sexualharrison 21:49, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - I am one of his friends, and I'm voting no. I don't think he's ready to help me or anyone else out in the manner that a sysop must. Maybe next time. --Met Fan ^F 23:26, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Rise Against - This is a nay. As Above. As Cheese, SA, Drawde, Iscariot, Argo & a Nubis. _■^■ 01:14, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Not even remotely equipped for the job, I fear. --Papa Moloch 01:58, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - I have seen no evidence of this user's worthiness to wield the sword of Cain. Or whatever it is they wield. --Pyrranha 18:40, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - As Cheese. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 20:46, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - halliman is NOT new blood. He is part of this community for a long time already. I only know this guy because of his antics in Arbitration, and nothing that i saw there amused me and/or gave me reasons to ever trust his judgment. The wiki might need some new sysops, but halliman is NOT a good candidate for it --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 21:28, 16 May 2009 (BST)
• Abstain I think you need to give it some more time, then come back. - User:Whitehouse 01:09, 18 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - reason, faggot--CyberRead240 12:43, 18 May 2009 (BST)
• I see Haliman as too partisan, and his vandal history to fresh, to want him as a sysop -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 10:31 19 May 2009 (BST)

Haliman needs more experience in the admin pages and is too inexpereienced to be promoted for now. He also doesn't seem confident in his own ablity to do the job. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:59, 26 May 2009 (BST)
