| I, Dezonus, would like to apply to become a Sysop. I have been a part of the UDWiki community for about 3 and a half months, and have nearly 1500 Contribs to my name. For nearly 2 months, I have been in charge of [[Special:Uncategorizedimages]] and [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]], and have managed to keep them pretty well categorized. I have encountered several unused duplicates, which I quickly got Speedy deleted, and Have encountered several low content group pages of new user that I have kindly offered to help out with
| | ==Candidates Being Discussed== |
| | <!--- |
|
| |
|
| '''Why am I running?''' I generally just like to help out, I am already doing a fairly good job of categorizing and such, and with a Sysop status, I would be able to help out even more. For instance, I could save the time of other Sysops when it comes to speedy deletions by removing unused duplicate images myself. | | ''There are no candidates at this time.'' |
|
| |
|
| Also, with Aichon leaving the community, the community could probably use another Sysop to make up for his loss. I am not saying by any means that I think I'm as cool as Aichon, but merely that I could try to fill his place.

| I don't really expect to become a sysop, allthough I would really like it. This time I'm more doing this to see what support I have, and what I need to do better, But I would be really grateful if I did get promoted =D {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 22:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

| *'''Weak Against''' You strike me as a very nice chap indeed, and I'm sure you have the right intentions at heart. However, I cannot overlook the fact that you have no experience in the more challenging sections of A/VB, A/M etc. I'm sure you're a good contributor, but what we really need is someone who isn't afraid of dirty work. (This also what I ''should'' have said at Axe Hack's bid :/, quite a brain fart there). Go give your opinions and shit, enter the drama, and convince me of your capabilities as a potential sysop. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 22:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

| :I found out by mistake that Non Sysops are not permitted to voice their opinion on A/VB unless they are the one who reported it, or the user in question. As for A/M, I have not seen it used the whole time I've been here, though I wasn't really looking either. I have had no reason to use either of these services, as I have not stumbled across misconduct or vandalism that has not already been reported. I have, however, reported 2 or 3 bots that I found whilst categorizing. I do agree that I still have some things to learn, but I don't see why I can't learn them as a sysop {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 01:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

| *'''Question''' What do you think are your most important contributions to keeping the wiki up and organized? And how would sys-op permissions help you with those contributions? --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 23:08, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *:My most important contributions are categorizing Pages and images, especially images. I will often request a speedy delete if I find an unused Duplicate, and with Sysop permissions of deletion, I would be able to save the time of other sysops by doing it myself. I also have discussed similar images with users and asked what they want done with them, and have got them appropriately speedied. I think as I sysop I will most likely be mainly concentrating on speedy deletions, unless I am required elsewhere in the wiki {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 00:58, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *::See, to me (no harm intended in this btw), your A/SD requests are something I hold against you here. They've almost universally been for files that are scheduled under the unused image clauses anyway, and would have been deleted without any fuss in a matter of days as the fortnight ran out. Adding to the paperwork being done by causing these images to be processed one at a time instead of in batches is a counter-productive manner of doing things, and not spotting that as the case shows, to me, a focus on the minor things rather than the overall picture - smooth running being more important than red tape (the same could also be said of the frequently-rash categorising of pages in black-and-white terms, which has struck me as rushed and done only for its own sake in the past). That said I do agree with the rest of the commenters here that you would need to chime in on the 'drama' pages more, arbies and VB (talk pages are perfect for getting your feet wet with this kind of thing). I know it's not exactly been the busiest of times with these pages, but any input is better than none. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 01:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC) | |
| *:::I do know that they are a scheduled deletion, but the way I see it is it's better to get them out of the way now, rather than have them pile up. As they say, a stitch in time saves nine. {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 01:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *::::Oh I do understand where you're coming from, it's just that in these instances it becomes "several stitches at different times save nine being done at once". :( {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 01:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Question''' What area of the wiki needs most improvement in your opinion? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 23:15, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *:I personally think that [[:Category:Recruitment]] could do with a bit of a rethink. [[User_talk:Misanthropy/Archive2010_Q4#Annoyed|A discussion I had on Misanthropy's talk page]] raised several points from me and others. Occasionally users are informed that their add has expired, but very rarely. I think you should be informed when it has expired. Also, the recruitment page, which should be thriving for our game, is instead almost hidden in a corner. Perhaps we could have a random selection of small versions of group adds come up on the main page. If I could help with these Ideas, I really feel I would have achieved something. {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 01:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

| * You've certainly made progress. That said, when you asked DDR a week ago if you were ready, you got feedback from both him and myself - both sets largely regarded, as with Thad above, that you haven't been taking part in discussions and being active on admin pages. Now, in itself, that may not be enough to get disapproval from me, but the fact that you got the comments ''and then'' just ran anyway is inclining me to say you aren't ready yet. Also the fact that there was a policy discussion on an area of the wiki which you were pretty much exclusively maintaining, and you only gave a brief comment on the case. Your response was very detached and you didn't really argue any of the points of the issue. As such, I can't really see you ruling on cases on Misconduct or Vandal banning. Frankly, between Red, myself and (for now) Aichon, all of the janitorial areas are pretty well serviced, and I don't see that being a thourough enough reason to promote you. That said, the last sysop who was promoted based on purely janitorial stuff has turned out to be one of the best, but I'm inclined to say that we need to see you in action before I'll give you my support. (Massive note: Don't just go and comment on a couple of VB cases and then come back here - actually formulate decisions on this). As I said though, you're definitely making progress.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 23:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *:It's not so much that I made a comment and Ran, I stated my view on it, and it was proven incorrect, so I saw no reason to go further with it. Also, as stated above, as a non Sysop we aren't allowed to voice our opinions on A/VB unless we are the accuser or the accused, so I dont see how I'm meant to take the lead in A/VB cases as a non Sysop {{User:Dezonus/sig}} 01:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *::Other users can still comment, especially if it helps the case at hand. However, it's often best that anything incidental or mere opinions, etc, be added to the talk page, where it's still readily accessible. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 01:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Against''' - I'm not against you ever getting the position, but I simply don't feel that you are there yet. I have to admit that I've always been a bit distrustful of people that are eager to take up the position (e.g. see Yonn's old nominations), since it's oftentimes an indication, at least to me, that they don't understand the nature of the position well enough yet (someone once commented that you have to be kinda crazy to nominate yourself or accept a nomination, and I think that's very true, even more so now than when I started). That said, it doesn't make sense to hold back someone who is eager to help. I just think that you need to better demonstrate that you are capable of helping. So, show us how you deal with drama. Show us that you can keep a cool head and can make informed and intelligent decisions. Show us that you understand why the rules exist, rather than just knowing what they are (based on comments you've made in discussions, I think this might be a problem area for you). And show us why giving you the buttons is a necessity. Also, question: what would being a sysop let you do that you can't already do that is so important to you? {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Against''' Your heart is in the right place, but I think you need a better understanding of the community, its policies, and the spirit behind those policies before you become a sysop. A policy discussion came up recently about orphaned pages, and part of why it came up was because you were throwing up orphanage links willy-nilly as soon as the pages were created. Reading your responses in that discussion and some of the uncertainty you have shown with deletion criteria, I am not entirely sure you fully understand the precedents and background knowledge that went into crafting many of the guidelines here. Performing maintenance tasks is fine, but you also have to give us a sense that you fully understand why things are done the way they are. As a sysop, your decisions in AVB / AD / AM and elsewhere will help redefine past policy, and that will require moving beyond the "maintenance" phase; I don't think you have demonstrated that you can do that yet. You are definitely on the way though. Spend some more time on improving your knowledge in those areas.-[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 23:48, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Against''' Keep up the good work and get some edits on the areas that illustrate your opinions... then come back when you have been here a bit longer. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 00:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| *'''Week Vouch''' - I'd prefer someone who's been around longer, and who's familiar with more parts of the wiki, namely the drama parts. But with our sysop count ever dropping, so should our standards. I don't trust your ability to maintain connection to our hivemind (I think you're chaotic evil), but you seem able enough to keep your cool, and I don't think you're confident enough to take the dreaded delete-all-pages leap. Worst case scenario, you help with janitorial work for a few months before dropping into inactivity, and at least that's a profit for the wiki. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 03:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

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)
