|
| Hello Again. Anyway, degree ends for the year on monday, so I thought I'd throw myself back into the sysop arena.
| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| Lets see. What have I done since my last sysop bid?
| | !---> |
| | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| * Been cycling pretty much everything on [[Developing Suggestions]].
| | ==Recent Bids== |
| * Discovered 9 of [[Borehamwood]]'s 11 phone masts and updated the wiki accordingly.
| |
| * Reviewed all of the [[MFD]]'s suburb listings and trimmed over 20 after discussion with the group.
| |
| * Tried to get involved with the new [[Community Portal]].
| |
| * Helped design the new [[Main Page]]
| |
|
| |
|
| Enough?
| | ===[[User:Hagnat]]=== |
| | *[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/Hagnat/2019-08-14 Promotion|Archived as Unsuccessful]]. |
|
| |
|
| Last time I was a sysop, I was pretty active, and spent a lot of my time categorising and moving pages to their proper Borehamwood and Monroeville Namespaces. You can check my logs, I've handily popped the vandal template at the top of this bid, so you can look at my logged activity, talk page, contributions etc.
| | ===[[User:DanceDanceRevolution]]=== |
| | *[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/DanceDanceRevolution/2018-07-30 Promotion|Archived as Successful]]. |
|
| |
|
| As last time I encourage all voters to ask questions, even if you decide to vote for me.
| | ==Archived Bids== |

| | |
| 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 [[Special:Contributions/Haliman111|~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. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 03:37, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| | |
| * '''Vouch''' - Haliman is reliable enough to leave power in his hands. --[[User:Dr Moulder|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. -[[User:Deathwire|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 --[[User:Amanda Hugenkiss|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. --[[User:Dwight easlebrough|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. [[User:Zhekarius|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. -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 08:41, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - Retard, also gets his friends to dogpile his bid. --[[User:Cyberbob240|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. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 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.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 09:02, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - The shit that was pulled at the beginning of the year speaks volumes. --{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 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.--[[User:MisterGame|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.--[[User:MisterGame|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...--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 05:07, 13 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - Umbrella relations fiasco. Also, the friend vouch thing doesn't matter because...
| |
| | |
| *# 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.
| |
| *# 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.
| |
| *# Large amounts of vouches don't work because this isn't a vote.--<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 11:06, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:Excellent understanding of how it works. N.3 should actually work, I mean, the sysops (who decide in the end) do look at the number of vouches AKA community support right? But yeah, they are not part of the community like you specified in N.1 and N.2. All I am saying, he is better of removing his friends, since asking them in the first place isn't worthy sysops behavior anyway.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 11:19, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| |
| *:::Just a minor technicality - it's the bureaucrats, not the sysops that do the "deciding," and more weight has always been given to the opinion of experienced users in these things. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 11:30, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *::::Alright, thanks guys, another thing learned.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 12:08, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:::::::Lots of people's friends and teammates vote for them. Barhah.com people often vote en bloc -- not because we're ordered to or have some kind of "hive mind", but because we often share similar viewpoints. Same goes for the DEM when they actually use the wiki. A few groups from his group isn't a giant problem, and isn't why I said no. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 22:01, 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. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:44, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| :If that would be the case, then it would be utterly pointless to let the community's opinion be heard. Besides, it's the community that chooses and supports the bureaucrats. I think its safe to assume that the bureaucrats listen to the community voice. Cuz if they don't...[http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct/Archive/Grim_s/200809 ...well..] --[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 13:09, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::It is now useless for the community's voice to be heard, well done for reading exactly what I put and saying it again. With one 'crat against it's pointless for the other 'crat to be for because it still won't result in promotion. SA's against makes it quite clear he's not going to give assent to this promotion so this still being here is pointless. Your pseudo threat of misconduct is simply laughable, understand the circumstances before you try again, misconduct only works if the person you take to misconduct is disliked by the other sysops, if it was about objective principles can you imagine how many demotions would have occurred after the witchhunt they had to incorrectly remove J3D? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 12:31, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| :::I see Iscariot still has no balls to run for sysop. Hell, if you did I would vote for you just to shut you up.--{{User:SirArgo/Signature}} 05:13, 13 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::::I see you're still being a lying shit and popping back up when it suits you. There are three people I'd accept a nomination from, a serving 'crat, a current candidate and a former sysop that was incorrectly removed. You want me to stand? Go convince one of these to nominate me. Good luck on that. The decision isn't mine, it's theirs', but feel free to continue to sound like a member of TZH in the meantime. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:37, 13 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| ::::Congratulations Iscariot, you're still a dumb ass. Just because I say my opinion on a bid from the start doesn't mean the person has no chance at being promoted. It just means that if it were being judged on ''my'' merit he wouldn't become a sysops. If the community decides that they want him despite my little reasoning, then he's a sysops. Please, go fail at wiki somewhere else.--<font face="Rage italic"><span style="color: DarkMagenta">Mr. Angel,</span> [[User_talk:Suicidalangel|<span style="color: DarkGreen">Help</span>]] [[Project_Mentor|<span style="color: Black">needed?</span>]]</font> 11:24, 13 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| :::::So you're actually telling me if we had a mass invasion again and they contributed for two months and then used sheer numbers to gain a majority through this process you'd promote each and every candidate? No you wouldn't, this is the one area we expect judgement to overrule pure numerical advantage, that's why the community votes you 'crat rather than the position being a rotating one. The community votes you in and expects you to use your own judgement and opinion when ruling on promotions. Sysops aren't moderators but 'crats are implicitly supposed to use their own opinion and judgement to prevent people being meat puppeted into getting the buttons. If this was down to the community there wouldn't be a 'crat veto. Your assent is required in order for this candidate to gain promotion, if you give it even with such reservations as you put forward in your vote then you are failing the community as a 'crat. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:37, 13 May 2009 (BST)

I haven't been gone because of your pettiness and strange belief that this Wiki is more important that life itself, I have been gone because I was busy losing twenty pounds with NutraSlim®. You know NutraSlim® is powerful and good considering it is packed with the essential minerals and vitamin needed to power your body to the edge, creating rapid and safe weight loss. Diets aren't for everyone, but everyone can enjoy a cup of tea now and then. Why, I lost 20 pounds in the first two months! I guarantee you will lose up to ''fifty'' pounds in five months, or I will give your money back.... Oh wait, where was I. Oh yes that's right, I lied no where and it seems as though Iscariot still has the lovely disposition that the current administration sucks, but is too fucking lazy to fix the place.

| |
| | |
| Just so you know, this was planned, I didn't jump on Pestolence's bandwagon. I would like to put myself, once again, up for promotion.
| |
| | |
| My last promotion candidacy was two months ago. I encourage you to read it [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/DanceDanceRevolution|here]].
| |
| | |
| Essentially, I come with the same message since my last bid. I've been here two years, and have made [[Special:Contributions/DanceDanceRevolution|3800+]] edits in the last two months alone, and would like to be a sysop in order to help the community as best I can, through maintenaince and janitorial work, naturally. Other uses would primarily be streamlining mega editing tasks.

| If there is one thing you decide upon when making your decision, I ask that it be whether you trust me as a user, and potentially as a sysop. If you have the confidence to trust me as both, then I ask you to consider this candidacy. If you don't, then I insist you to remain against this nomination.
| |
| | |
| Honesty and boldness is appreciated. Feel free to ask me questions of any nature.

| *Question: Janitor or Drama-Lama duty? Which do you prefer, and excel in?--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 10:07, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:I prefer (and excel in) Janitor duty, because it is something I can do consistently on the wiki without the need for other users. Naturally, Drama duty is more interesting but the political atmosphere usually makes it more stressful and less accomplishing when compared to the former. Having said that, I have and will continue to deal with drama, but I don't pick fights and don't search for them either, and I know when something is over my head (don't expect any coups). {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:47, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| |
| *'''Vouch''' I am not sure that I will be completely happy with your sysop powers being exercised in all areas of the wiki but you have certainly proved your desire to be useful and; more importantly; your ability to do just that. In any event if you step out of line I am pretty sure that Nubis and the others will squash you like a bug :) --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:22, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' He's had a huge amount of activity lately and has been doing some good work in the process. --[[User:Johnny Bass|Johnny Bass]] 17:30, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| |
| *'''Vouch''' - The work he's done on the Category:Disambiguation is not glamorous or fun. I appreciate the help and I doubt this place will fall apart if there is a sysop that brings Drama. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 10:31, 13 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' - For the love of the crucified Jaysus avoid the awkward, compensating-for-lack-of-attention-in-RL drama, DDR. Other kinds of drama are okay.

| ===[[User:Pestolence|Pestolence]]===
| |
| I've been around the wiki for seven months, since November 2008, and I have made almost 1,000 edits in that time. Among my more helpful work on the wiki has been joining [[Project Wiki Patrol]], giving new users advice or help when they need it, and voting/commenting on the various administration pages. Recently, I have started an attempt to remove merged location pages (example: [[Dakerstown Hotels]]) from the wiki and replace them with individual location pages.
| |
| | |
| I would like to become a sysop for several reasons, primarily because the ability to delete pages will significantly speed up the removal of merged pages from the wiki, and because it will allow me to carry out routine tasks such as speedy deletion, page moving, and page protecting when I see that it needs to be done. I would not restrict my sysop activity to those pages specifically, but the majority of my activity would happen there.
| |
| | |
| If anyone needs more information to make up their mind on my bid, I invite you to look back through my [[Special:Contributions/Pestolence|user contributions]], as well as [[User:Pestolence/WikiWork|this page]] which contains most of the major projects I've worked on, and [[User:Pestolence/WIP|my sandbox page]], which includes my work on merged location pages. Anyone who would like to question me further about anything is welcome to do so, here or on [[User talk:Pestolence|my talk page]]. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 01:19, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| | |
| *'''Hesitant Vouch''' You realize that you still have to go through deletion requests as a sysop right? And Speedy's still require someone other than you... [[User:Conndraka|Conndraka]]<sup>[[Moderation|mod]] [[User_talk:Conndraka|T]][[AZM]] [[Coalition for Fair Tactics|''CFT'']]</sup> 01:35, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:Yes, I realize that, and I will go through all the proper channels for deletions. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 02:12, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Weak Vouch''' - As above. Needs more drama. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 01:39, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *<s>'''Weak Against''' - At the moment, I can't vouch you.</s> Your heart's in the right place and you're definitely doing the right stuff (the behind-the-scenes maintenance is the hardest in my experience), but I would have wanted to see a months more work from you (and more so in A/VB) before I could vouch. Plus, I didn't appreciate the [[Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice|brain]] [[The sysop who deletes this article will be cursed to die in 11 days|explosion]] you had last month. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 03:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *:Moving along a '''Weak Vouch''' after checking out your contributions. I still stand by the worries that I said earlier though. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 08:12, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - I think you have done a lot to help out around the wiki but I feel you do need some more experience before you become a sysop. Just keep doing what you're doing now and branch out into areas such as Policy Discussion, etc and come back in a month or two. =) -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 08:47, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Weak against''' - I'm not so sure about you. Haven't seen you that much around.--[[User:MisterGame|Thadeous Oakley]] 10:10, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| *:I provided some links in my bid if you want to see what I've done lately. --{{User:Pestolence/Sig}} 19:59, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' Pestolence is a contributer definately heading in the right direction. I'm not sure if the current bid will be successful, but if he carries on with the enormous amount of maintenence he currently does, I don't believe it will be too long before he gets his mop. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:58, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| |
| *::Thanks bob. And to think only one section above you called me not funny. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 16:26, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' Last months brainfart aside I think you would do a pretty decent job of this and if not, what I said in DDR's bid above will hold true and the rest of the Sysops can crush you :) --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 17:26, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' He'd be good for it. --[[User:Johnny Bass|Johnny Bass]] 17:32, 12 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Against''' --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 22:05, 12 May 2009 (BST)
| |
| *'''Abstain''' - I would provide a reason, but I think these few lines from an old epsiode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged says it better: ''Yami - "Alright. But who are you?" Bakura - "I'm Bakura." Yami - "Never heard of you."'' --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} ({{User:Axe Hack/Stat}}) 00:49, 13 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' - Easy to get along with, and a person who is open to discussion would be a great addition to the Sysop team. Always nice to have a clean wiki too. -- {{User:BlackReaper/sig}} 02:31, 13 May 2009 (BST)

| *'''Meh''' - Which I guess is an abstain. But it's a strong Meh. --{{User:Nubis/sig}} 10:32, 13 May 2009 (BST)

| *:::excuse me for sometimes having a life.. Also I'm not the one who is up for a sysop. so the amount of my edits is meaningless. and yes this does effect my vote. now i dislike you even MOAR! haha.. no really. from the little i've now looked up on you. (nothing really) and from your vouch votes from some of the people I like on this wiki. is a pretty good sign your not a total douchebag but still I've never heard of you until today. get some more time in and get on the radar.. twist bobs nipples. tell izzy to shut the fuck up.. you know fun stuff. my vote stands. and i can't belive i'm agreeing with whats his face..
