Vista recorfirmation bid.

Hi, As I’ve stated before here and here I believe that users that weren’t around during the original promotion should have a chance to voice their opinion about established sysops every once and awhile. As a job evaluation of sorts.

As I was promoted over a year ago, and only 4 of the users who gave their opinion about me are still around, I thought that now was as good a time as any. So I decided to go through the promotion page once again so people can have a say in how my work as a sysop holds up. Like a normal promotion afterwards a bureaucrat will decide if I have the trust and support to continue as sysop.

---

A short introduction for the people who might need or simply want one , I began editing on this wiki in October 2005, I became what was then still called a moderator in May 2006 and the resident bureaucrat in July 2006. Shortly after that removed myself from that postion and I idled out for some months through a combination of my job demanding more time from me and the need for a vacation from the wiki.

I returned two months ago and made roughly 700 edits since then with my focus being on general maintenance, A/VB and the more community orientated parts of the wiki. I’ve never been a great writer so I haven’t created new pages or standardized content, but I hopefully have shown the judgement and qualifications needed for being a sysop. --Vista ⁺¹ 12:55, 8 May 2007 (BST)

• Vouch - Sure. You've made some definite improvements since your return. --Hubrid Nox ^{Mod U! VOTE FOR KARLOTH} 13:02, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - For sure dude. You seem like A-class sysop quality to me! --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 13:53, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - What they said. (Above and above) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 14:09, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Keep - This means that you'll probably get ahead of me in the Signature Race even more. =P Other then that I think that you should stay as a sysop (hence the Keep as vouch isn't really relevant to this). - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD CT SR 13:13, 8 May 2007 (GMT)}

Third vouch gained at 14:09, 8 May 2007 (BST)

• Keep/Change - I think Vista would be more in genre with a bluer tinge to his userpage -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 15:03, 8 May 2007 (BST)

  GO EDIT, It's a free domain.--Vista ⁺¹ 15:06, 8 May 2007 (BST)

• Vouch - Jonny12 ^talk 15:42, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch That takes guts,Vista. Some Sysops wouldn't even try to go through promotions again. --User:Axe27/Sig 15:55, 8 May 2007 (BST)

  Snide comments like that are why I avoid this place.--Gage 00:41, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  Particularly when they're spot on, eh? --Hubrid Nox ^{Mod U!} 08:48, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  ... That one too.--Gage 10:01, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  Particularly when they're spot on, eh? --Hubrid Nox ^{Mod U!} 22:42, 9 May 2007 (BST)

• Vouch - If its a good job evaluation you're looking for you've got it :) --Marie^{The Grove on Tour} 16:08, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - Hahha! Are you seriously asking for a job evaulation? That's totally bad ass. Mad respect.--Jorm 19:03, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - You're still good. Now if all Sysops did this... --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 19:48, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - Without reservation. And second Jorm's assessment of your badassitude. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 22:31, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - Made doubly so by the fact that you're actually putting yourself up for review. --Darth Sensitive ^W! 23:16, 8 May 2007 (BST)
• Keep You seem like a sensable, humorous, sort of man capable of dealing with individuals on many various levels. BY MY DECREE: Your hired! --Poodle of doom 00:06, 9 May 2007 (BST)
• I just have one question Vista: Do u leik mudkipz? If so, I think you might just be BAT FUCK INSANE enough for the job.--Gage 00:19, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  What the hell is it with you and Pokemon??!? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 02:28, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  He's trying to be funny. It was, at first, but he's overdoing it. Find a new meme, Gage. --Hubrid Nox ^{Mod U!} 08:47, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  I wouldn't say that. He's just being roundly panned. --User:Axe27/Sig 16:33, 9 May 2007 (BST)

  This isn't the place for this discussion guys. Lets drop the subject--Vista ⁺¹ 16:39, 9 May 2007 (BST)

• Vouch - Eligible for rehire but may be over-qualified. --Max Grivas ^{JG / M.F.T.} 01:02, 9 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - He only seems halfway decent and honorable...--Lachryma^☭ 02:40, 9 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - but only if he also pledges loyalty to the WCDZ again! --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 03:11, 9 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - In particular for his considered approach on the vandal banning page. --Toejam 09:41, 9 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - Are you worried that we don't want you as a sysop anymore? Because we do.--Labine50 ^MHG|^MEMS|^DHPD 02:30, 10 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - Definitely. --^T 03:28, 11 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch The mere fact that you are willing to put yourself through the process again shows a willingness to listen to the "normal" users that is sadly lacking in most mods/sysops/whatever they call themselves! This does however raise a very good point vis... when are the rest of the admin team going to stand for re-election? --Honestmistake 09:40, 11 May 2007 (BST)

I say we should do it as soon as possible, why not? Me, Zombie Slayer, and a few other people are the only new sysops, so I think that everyone else must have had their title for longer than 6 months. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 10:35, 11 May 2007 (BST)

Yeap, I was promoted about a year ago (13 April 2006).--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 20:38, 12 May 2007 (BST)

• Vouch You have done a lot of good work - Vantar 14:06, 11 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch In my experience Vista has shown a good neutral perspective and impartial judgement, no ad-hominem attacks, an excellent wiki sysop. --Zeug 06:23, 12 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - One of the few old guard left. Would get my vouch for re-promotion to 'crat.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 20:38, 12 May 2007 (BST)
• Vouch - I wish to show my support for the Czarina's efforts to take control of the Wiki a good sysop who's been around for a while. --Specialist290 ♠♥♣♦ 02:13, 15 May 2007 (BST)
