| | *[[UDWiki:Administration/Sysop Archives/DanceDanceRevolution/2018-07-30 Promotion|Archived as Successful]]. |
|
| |
|
| 6 weeks have passed since [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Krazy_Monkey_(4)|Cheese's latest bid]], and 2 months since [[UDWiki:Administration/Re-Evaluations/Krazy_Monkey_(3)|his unsuccessful RE]]. The bid got mostly rejected for coming too early, but I think the time is ripe now. The demotion really seems to have got him back into a work frenzy, resulting in over 500 contributions since the RE. The very majority of them is janitorial, dealing with a wide array of tasks from image categorization to deletions. It isn't just grunt work, though (although that part is definitively appreciated by me) - it also includes finishing up Thad's A/PM sorting "project" that no one else couldn't be arsed to finish up (and Thad as least).
| | ==Archived Bids== |
| | | ''For earlier promotion bids, see the following:'' |
| Several of these contributions would have been made much easier by op buttons, so giving them back to Cheese would just make his job easier, would make the jobs of the other ops easier and would generally help the wiki to run smoothly.

| *'''Strong Vouch''' - As I said at Cheese's last bid, and to a degree at the re-evaluation when he was demoted, I'm a fan of Cheese. He's a great guy, very much dedicated to the wiki, and willing to put in a lot of work where it's needed. He pretty much single handedly deals with short pages, a very undervalued wiki-project in my opinion, and cleaned up the end of the promotions archive project. when he contributes to voting on cases, he presents unique and insightful opinions which are usually bang on the money. Whatever the result of this bid, in my opinion Cheese will always be a part of the team.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 16:34, 31 March 2011 (BST)

| |
| *:I am active on the wiki, have the free time to work on wiki projects, and have not been nominated as a joke by Grim. As I said in my bid above. Got any questions I haven't already answered? Oh, and I've now got mobile internets access, so I can edit and (assuming this bid goes well) psyop while out, too. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 03:13, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::If you want to use your free time helping out the UD community, why do you have to be an op? To be honest and not as offensive as I probably sound, the only reason that springs to mind is that there's some sort of lol quota on a forum somewhere which needs meeting. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig4}} 04:17, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:::That's also on the to-do list, TBH. And I'll respond more fully when I get the chance, just heading out the door ATM. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 04:26, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::::That's cool, no hurry. -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig4}} 05:19, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:::::Also, I have another question. How come when you (and other non-'wiki addicts', if you're cool speaking on their behalf) run for promotion, you feel the need to meatpuppet the crap out of the bid? Before anyone judges please note I'm of course not against meatpuppeting, nor for it, I'm just curious why you do it when A/PM is a system that is designed to diametrically oppose the influence of meatpuppets? -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig4}} 12:31, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::::::Eh, none of my vouches were meatpuppets, except for the one that couldn't read and voted me by mistake. Or, if they were puppets then I had no knowledge of it. {{User:Ashley Valentine/sig}} 14:34, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::::::"Meatpuppet" is such an ugly word. This may come as a shock to you, but the wiki is hardly the centre of the UD-verse. In fact, most people play quite happily without consulting it much if at all. Instead, I would say that I am attempting to reach out to the broader Urban Dead community and encourage participation from different demographics. In fact, I can name at least one person who has returned from at least ~3 years of absence due to my linking this on Facebook. How can that be a bad thing? {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 15:13, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:::::::So basically meatpuppet is an ugly word, but you basically deconstruct your actions as getting people who don't use the wiki much at all but know what it is, to bring support to your bid where they would otherwise be spending that time (for example ~3 years) away from the wiki? Doesn't sound like meatpuppeting at all. You didn't even answer my question either? -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig4}} 22:27, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::::::::I don't think he voted for me – he can't stand the wiki – just started playing again. Also, like I said, UD community and UD Wiki community have overlap but are by no means identical. If you only post on the wiki you disenfranchise those who do not spend much time on here but still have an interest in favour of the more vocal minority. Also, I thought I sorta answered it in one of my other responses below? {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 22:59, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:::::::::Wait, so the reason you get people here in hordes is not to dogpile your promotions bid, but to extend other metagaming media to ud players who don't wiki much? -- {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig4}} 04:26, 30 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *::::::::::Have you ever thought that there's a ''reason'' a lot of people avoid the wiki like the plague? These people know me and what I stand for. I'm not telling them what to write, as I'm sure you can see. I'd point to Toast's Against as an example but he's busy avoiding the place like despite my encouragement. {{grr}} {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 05:02, 30 March 2011 (BST)

| *:::::::::::<small>further discussion on the [[UDWiki talk:Administration/Promotions#Revenant|talk page]]</small>

| *::::::::::It means that a very very large part of the player base knows and supports Revenant and is willing to vouch for him. Stop trying to make out like being respected by most/a large part of the game community means he's not trustworthy, it's shit and it's a part of how the wiki's lost the community. I mean shit, the guy is a mod on all four major metagame boards somehow and you think he's untrustworthy? --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev/OmegaMap|maps?!]]</font></sup></small> 05:09, 30 March 2011 (BST)

I'd be tempted to make a template, actually… Which reminds me, InterWiki links are another thing I want to set up that also requires the Administrator bit. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 12:30, 30 March 2011 (BST) | |
| *:::::::None of which would make them any less eligible for crit 1 and 2 speedydeletion. The answer I was looking for was that you would either delete them, or move them to an appropriate place. A big part of a sysop's duties is to try to keep the main namespace relevant. Informative pages about Urban Dead, the groups that play, events that happen and the way players interact, is what goes there. It's not a place for circular pages linking to each other with nothing more than "See also:" on them <small>-- <span style="text-shadow: #bbb 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em">[[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 02:25 31 March 2011 (BST)</span></small>
| |
| *::::::::I don't consider “delete them” to be a valid response to “improve until no longer eligible for deletion”. {{rolleyes}} And moving wouldn't make them particularly less valid for deletion unless it was to the User: namespace, which would defeat the point. Although I was tempted to change to Templates and… hmm… {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 05:35, 31 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:::::::::The delete them option is a valid responce to my question, if you look back to the original. But anyway, moving dose serve a purpose. That is keeping the main namespace relevant. Such off topic stuff is acceptable in owned namespaces (and pseudo-namespaces like as a group or user subpage), but not in the main namespace. A big part of a sysop's job is to keep content in it's correct place, to ensure it remains a valid resource for information on ''the game''. That is the primary purpose of the wiki, after all. Do you really believe you could serve this purpose first, and put having fun second? <small>-- <span style="text-shadow: #bbb 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em">[[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 05:46 1 April 2011 (BST)</span></small>
| |
| *::::::::::Right, but it would run contradictory to my response earlier. That said, you are correct, and if they were voted for regular or speedy-deletion, fit the criteria, and couldn't be and/or weren't improved or moved, I would delete them as required. (And undetete and move to user's space if requested.) My tendencies tend to the [[Wikipedia:inclusionist|inclusionist]] rather than [[Wikipedia:deletionist|deletionist]], but I'm not one to shy away from doing what needs to be done, especially if it's a job I've signed up for with full knowledge of what's involved. <small>(And I am fucking glad A/SD Crit 12 was killed.

| |
| *'''Vouch''' Bringing new people here is a good thing. This game is dying and a big part of that is because this wiki is so unfriendly and takes itself too seriously.

| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Mostly because DDR is annoying me, yet again, with his attempts to de-legitimize opinions by dragging out the meatmuppet slurs. Oh but yeah, I guess Rev would be alright. I mean he seems like he might not have a stick up his ass about everything. Then again, he has chosen, of his own free will, to waste a significant portion of his life on the zl. Does not say much for logic. Smells kinda Boy Scouty. But fuck it, can't be any worse than Thad or Yonnua.{{User:Zombie Lord/sig2}} <tt>15:41 29 March 2011(UTC)</tt>
| |
| *:Firstly, thanks for the vouch, but I should note for the sake of clarity that I'm actually too lazy to do much grunt-work with the Zerg Liste. Hence, technical/advisory role. Which reminds me of another list-related project I need to get off the back-burner… {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 15:54, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *'''Abstain''' - I think you have the mindset and the abilities to be a capable sys-op. However, I'd be far more comfortable if I could see you first committing a couple of months to maintenance and janitorial stuff. (OTOH, we ''have'' promoted Thad, whose greatest achievement within 3 months was to half-way re-arrange the bids chronology and then drop that "project" as soon as he had the buttons...) --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 15:45, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *:TBH, the biggest thing I want to fix here actually ''requires'' the Administrator bit set (CSS overhaul), and with Aichon de-opped I'm not confident we have current sysops experienced enough in that area to implement the changes I have in mind. I may be wrong. Also, I've done plenty of maintenance over the years (check my contribs, assuming history wipes have left much – actually, that reminds me…), but my boredom threshold is kinda low and I tend to get something “polished enough” and move on. As mentioned in my previous bid. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 15:59, 29 March 2011 (BST)

| *'''Couch''' - For the most comfortable man in Malton. --[[User:Strata|Strata]] 23:22, 29 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' Since Revenant has been placed in Administration positions in 4 forums I am involved in, within 3 weeks each forum was hacked into and pretty much destroyed. There seems to be a common theme in which anyone that raises concerns about his "powerrush" appears to have their account deleted by "hackers" or thier email account spammed with emails from "Save the Tasmanian Devil society" and I beleive he simply gets involved in things simply to see what he can break or personally gain. His abuse of admin rights on the University of Twente Urban Terror server lead to the creation of the Cornholio account that has rampaged across the wiki. I can see this is a vieled attempt to get rights to ban MisterGame due to some falling out over Wotans Templar. --[[User:Rapture|Rapture]] 23:28, 29 March 2011 (BST)

| *'''vizouch''' assumed he already was a sysop............--{{User:Lady Clitoria/Sig}} 13:22, 30 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *'''Against''' - His support comes from people who probably wouldn't be affected by his election. He also doesn't seem like he takes the position seriously. --{{User:Armpit_Odor/dnsig}} 13:38, 30 March 2011 (BST)

| |
| *'''Weak Against''' - Would have probably been a vouch because I've seen some pretty good contribs from rev and he's a pretty long-standing member of the community but the above comments about his tenure as forum admin on several UD boards concerns me. I don't know if any of it is substantiated but I have to assume at least some of it is. I'd need to see some more positive contributions around the wiki before the trust would be enough to vouch. Maybe come back later with some more wiki-related projects to show if you're serious. {{User:Vapor/sig}} <sub>15:13, 30 March 2011</sub>
| |
| *'''Vouch''' - Competent, dedicated, and friendly. I can see that his contributions to the wiki, considered alone, leave something to be desired, but I'm persuaded by his level of participation in other community projects that he is a valuable asset and, if given additional buttons, would press them well.--[[User:Father Thompson|<span style="color: Black">FT</span>]] 19:12, 30 March 2011 (BST)
| |
| *'''Weak Vouch''' - I can't really speak for the other forums but Rev's always been solid with regard to his mod/admin duties on Barhah.com, although he is not as active there as he was in years past. I think he has more than enough experience in wiki/technical magic things to be an asset to the wiki. That said, some of his actions on the wiki do give some serious pause and concern over his motivations / judgment. Yeah, while I can see him rocking out and becoming the world's greatest sysop, I can also seem him - I don't know --accidentally crashing the car or something over a cliff. But hey, it's a rental. Give him the keys and see what happens. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 23:17, 30 March 2011 (BST)
