''There are no candidates at this time.''
{{vndl|Red Hawk One}}


Hello,
!--->
''There are no candidates at this time.''


I have actively contributed to the wiki since July 2009, and have worked intermittently since early 2009. In this time I was the driving force behind completing the [[BIC]] (as documented [[User:Red Hawk One/My BIC|here]] and in my contributions), and partially behind the recent revival in demerging locations pages (as evidenced in the prior link, as well as the previous three month's A/SD records). I often follow [[A/SD]], [[A/PT]], and [[A/MR]], although as a regular user I am currently unable to really do anything on those pages. So far as I can tell, I have made no enemies, and am polite and professional in my conduct with other users. For these reasons, I wish to run for sysop, in order to better maintain the wiki as an information source for the game.
==Recent Bids==


Thank you,

*[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]]
*'''Against''' - No involvement in administrative or policy pages. There's no need for you to have sysop powers in order to remain a valuable contributor to the wiki. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 08:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
*[[:Category:{{LASTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|Last year's promotion bids]]
*Like I said, I'd need to know how you react in a hostile situation before I could approve of you. We've always had too many strictly janitor sysops and not enough judges to judge the damned and stuff.

*'''Vouch''' however, '''Question'''. What would you do with your sysops powers, and why do you need them? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 09:41, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

*'''Against''' If Sysop status just gave you the ability to tidy things up easier I would vouch. It doesn't though, it also calls upon you to make fine judgements about vandals, misconduct etc... and for that people should have at least some evidence of how you would exercise that judgement. In otherwords.... get some experience in the areas that show your judgemnt. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 11:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Exremely Weak Vouch''' - You've done ALOT of work for this wiki, but if you want to get strong supports, you should get on more admin pages. --{{User:Haliman111/sig}} 13:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - While doing a lot for the wiki, i must agree with Honestmistake about vandals, and misconduct. I will say i log in a lot and on Recent Changes you have done quiet a bit of work. --{{User:The Colonel/Sig}} 14:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I have actively contributed to the wiki and its community since July this year. In this time, I have played a part in setting up the [[Building Information Center]], and also started up the [[Lexicon:Survival|Survival Lexicon]]. I am an occasional visitor of [[DS]], and am familiar with the process of [[A/D|Deletions]]. I believe I have had no major disagreements on the wiki with another member. 
 
I am currently unmerging locations pages and updating all [[:Category:Auto Repair Shops|Auto Repair Shop]] and [[:Category:Factories|Factory]] pages with their corresponding [[:Category:Building Danger Levels|Danger Reports]] in the process of updating the [[Template:Trps|TRP template]].
 
What say you, denizens?
 
--{{User:Rorybob/Sig}} 12:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 
*'''Abstain''' - Great guy, needs more edits. You've done 500 in two months, but 1000 takes you back to 2008. More time in the community. 1 month, 2 months? Just to bring it up to 1000 recent edits.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 12:57, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - Can't believe I am doing this. But I like you, and some of the work you've been doing demonstrates that you know how to use the wiki. This is a very weak vouch though, only because if you kept this up for another month and came back you'd have my full support. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sigcode|red|black}}-- 12:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' Rory has done good grunt work, asked questions when he's stuck, revived the lexicon and thought the [[Monroeville Many]] were historical.--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:02, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

*'''Vouch''' Seems to have done a lot of work towards making the wiki better. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 15:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Against''' - You are a good user and a positive force.  But you need more experience.  Take the [[UDWiki:Administration/Speedy_Deletions#Unmerged_location_pages|unmerged locations]] you cited.  They aren't actually finished yet.

*'''Vouch''' - I think this dude is pretty level-headed and "well-intentioned", I definitely like the idea of him being a sysop now or in the future. --{{User:ObiFireFighter/sig}} 21:54, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Vouch''' - Seems like the right material. --{{User:Michaleson/sig}} 21:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - I've never met him and know almost nothing about him, and am therefore unqualified to judge his worth as a sysop candidate. He can't really be that active if I've never run across him once, though.{{User:Lelouch/sig}} 22:20, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - I haven't been around the wiki for long, but I'm decently aware of most of the other sysops in general, yet only vaguely aware of him. The bit I've seen is okay, but not nearly enough to base a decision on. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Abstain''' - Turns into a vouch when the mudkip gets back in your sig. But really, as Yonnua's bid, more experience blabla, I'll vouch in another month if you keep doing good work and run again. --'''[[User:BobBoberton|<span style="color: #FF4500">Bob Boberton</span>]] <sup>[[The_Fortress|<span style="color: #6B8E23">TF</span>]] / [[The_Fortress/Dark_Watch|<span style="color: #778899 ">DW</span>]]</sup>''' [[Image:Littlemudkipsig.gif]] 22:34, 29 October 2009 (BST)

:::exactly those types of page. A sysop is a janitor and you seem to have all the needed skills but I don't recall seeing any presence in the area's that are contentious. Obviously you can't "rule" but making you opinion known helps us judge if you are right for the parts of the sysop role that call for you to be trusted in every sense.

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.
