| I've been in two minds about running for a while. I've decided that I'm going to run, hence why you're reading this promotion bid. So, here's the rundown. I've been an active member of the community for about a year, and a decent member of the community for about 4 months. I have almost 6000 contributions, and I regularly maintain orphaned pages, take care of suburb news archival, and do other janitorial tasks that crop up, like demerging pages. I'd like to run for promotion to help push admin tasks through as and when they're due. I'm frequently on when few other people, let alone sysops, are, as I'm online pretty much most of the time. Also, with only 4-6 active sysops, I feel we could always do with more people churning things through. Last time I ran, I was mainly rejected because of my attitude towards drama, something I've been trying to avoid since the last bid, and, despite a few hiccups, I feel it is something which I have achieved. Now, I throw myself at the mercy of you [[Example Page|Donkeys]], the ruling crats, and whoever else ambles by.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 23:13, 23 April 2010 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' 2nd. Plus hes capable. --{{User:Michaleson/sig}} 23:34, 23 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - I can't really explain this one, it's just that I get vaguely nauseous whenever I picture you ruling on A/VB cases and Misconduct cases and whatnot. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with you in that role and there really isn't a whole lot to do specificially as a sysop apart from that (Deletions and Speedy Deletions are both incredibly light workloads except in rare extreme cases). Also avoiding drama isn't really what people want in a sysop (Rooster cops a decent amount of flak for his policy of never voting on Misconduct or A/VB); they want someone who ''does'' get involved in it but manages to handle it effectively. I don't feel as though you can do that. {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 23:53, 23 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Weak Against''' - 0.2% of your last 500 edits were to building reports. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 00:41, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - You gotta be shittin me.{{User:Zombie Lord/sig2}} <tt>00:56 24 April 2010(UTC)</tt>
| |
| *'''Abstain''' - I'll give some serious thought to it over the next few days, but to some extent, I gotta say that I agree with Cyberbob. It's not about avoiding drama: it's about handling it well, and I'm not sure I trust you completely to do that just yet. Last time you were up, you had made a series of poor decisions around that time, which are still somewhat hard to let go when considering promotions. In the last few months, however, you've been a pretty upstanding member of the community. Your janitorial work around the wiki is very welcome (though those orphan notices, while helpful, are kinda annoying, especially when you put them in obnoxious places :P), and you do a lot to keep things clean and in working order. I'd definitely trust you with the janitorial work, but when it comes to making judgments...kinda the gut feeling thing is an issue. For now, question: what role do you see yourself playing when it comes to making decisions in A/VB, A/M, and similar situations? Will you be active, semi-active, or inactive there, and if you're not inactive, how will you approach cases? {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 00:59, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:Frankly, I'd like to say I'd be active in all areas of the wiki, but VB is the one I sometimes seem to miss in rounds around the wiki. So, I guess, from that perspective, I'd be semi-active in VB, but I'd try to be really active. Naturally, for the first week or two of being a sop, I'd try to hold back in most cases, and wouldn't rule until other sysops had (making decisions about things on a whim is fine, but as a sysop, I'd have to be alot more careful). If you're wondering how I'd deal with the pressure of complex and drama-filled cases, I'll direct you to [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki_talk%3AAdministration%2FVandal_Banning%2FArchive%2F2009_11&diff=1592636&oldid=1592631 this case], where the ruling I suggested on the talk was eventually used in the case.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 09:42, 24 April 2010 (BST)

| *'''Promote him!''' - he needs to be doing more work around here. I won't deny Bob raises a very good point about vandal cases and what not, but with the over all lack of good wiki people around here, hes always been around and always making edits and asking questions. If he wants to take it a step further I say let him, worst thing that happens if he sucks at dealing with drama in which case he follows what everyone else says. --{{User:The Colonel/Sig}} 03:23, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:Follow what everyone else says? Wow. {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 04:08, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *::I think your missing the point. If everyone showed up and voted vandalism would you sit there and read everything everyone wrote and come up with a not vandalism or would you be lazy and see that everyone else voted vandalism. My point exactly. --{{User:The Colonel/Sig}} 06:22, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:::If you knew anything about my track record as a sysop I don't think you would have made that assumption. Being lazy about A/VB rulings like that is fucking retarded and I hope you never run for sysop. {{User:Cyberbob240/Sig}} 06:27, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *:::: I never planned on, too much work. Yes I have seen some of what you have spoken about on A/VB and A/M --{{User:The Colonel/Sig}} 18:25, 24 April 2010 (BST)

| *'''Vouch''' to Yonnua. When he initially wanted to be an op I didn't like it because he never actually formulated his own opinions or articulated useful points on the administration cases he commented on, he just hovered around. Now he is pro-active in his mass-editing tasks he partakes in and is also a very helpful and nice member of the community. His activity has still remained sound and I like the guy, always helping out the ops and regular users when necessary. Go yon! --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 06:38, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' FUCK YEAH SEAKING--{{User:Imthatguy/sig}} 09:44, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - I've always been annoyed by those orphan links popping up on my talk page the very nanosecond that I create a new page. What this demonstrates is that yon is obsessively tending to the order of the wiki, which is a pretty good sign for a sysop I think. Also, anyone who wants it this bad should at least have a chance to show what they can do. Good luck to you.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 13:03, 24 April 2010 (BST)

| *'''Weak Against''' I like Yonnua, but I have this thing against self-nomination. [[User:Asheets|Asheets]] 16:19, 24 April 2010 (BST)
| |
| *'''Vouch''' While the self-nomination is muchachos suspicious, (<s>s</s>)he is a good candidate. [[User:Infrastructure|Infrastructure]] 16:21, 24 April 2010 (BST)

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
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.
- Vouch - I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
- Against - Example User, I haven't seen any evidence of your work on the wiki. --Some user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Vouch - Example User is the most active guy here. --Another user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Abstain - I'm just not sure, but I don't want to say why for some reason. --Some other user 19:01, 25 July 2006 (BST)
- Question - I just want to know what you think about this subject? --Yet another user 21:26, 4 April 2013 (BST)
