| During my time on the wiki, I've worked hard to make improvements, be friendly and generally encourage civil discussion. I'm proud of my history of never over-analyzing wikilaw and being reasonable in past discussions. My janitorial work speaks for itself. But rather than just tell you wonderful things about myself, ask some questions and I'll respond with wonderful things about myself. --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 12:43, 1 April 2013 (BST)

| |
| *::If this is serious, then okay. I know much of your bid was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, but it brings up several important points. Namely, what janitorial work or indication of prior interest in maintaining the wiki can you point towards? In looking through [[Special:Contributions/Kirsty_cotton|your contribs]] (note: we have to go back almost a year before we hit 500 of them, meaning you do not meet criteria 2), I don't see a large number tied to any janitorial work at all. You do have a leg up on the average wiki user, in that you've not been afraid to get involved with administrative matters. That said, you also poked fun at yourself and your wikilawyering tendencies in your own bid text (and have referenced your related real-life background), which makes sense, given the recent Misconduct case you filed (it bears repeating that I don't think you were in the wrong for filing that case, though I do think it was a bit on the extreme end of the options available to you).<br />You also recently [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2013_Q1#Kirsty_cotton|took a leave from the wiki]] for [[UDWiki:Administration/De-Escalations/Archive/2013#Kirsty_cotton|about a month]], which is an indication that you may not be interested in it. What brought you back and what assurances do we have that you won't leave again? Related to your motivation, why do you want to be a sysop and what do you think you can uniquely add? You've mentioned that you think we "need differing voices in the sysop team", but I'm not sure of that. I think that dissension for its own sake is rarely productive, and that what we really need are people who are unafraid to voice opinions they've reached through independent, reasoned thought and who come from differing perspectives, which is something we already have (see #4 in [[User:Aichon/Other/So_you_want_to_be_a_sysop%3F#Drama_Work|the Drama Work section of my sysop guide]]). Even in the events related to the recent Misconduct case, several people commented on how unusual it was for the sysops to agree unanimously on a topic that was so controversial. And with the wiki as quiet as it is these days, adding someone to the team who comes up short in the sorts of tasks that we're doing 99% of the time just so that we can have them around on the off-chance that drama happens doesn't make for a compelling reason. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:04, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:::There is some truth in this and the recent motivation question is a concern but I think having a new sheriff in town who can have the sysop team perhaps take a step back, look at a decision and ask "Is this really consistent with policy? Are we handling this the best way we can and in a manner that is consistent with the expectations of the community?" is not necessary a bad thing. I see Kirsty as that person and I think the team could use that person. Lack of janitorial work is a concern but I think Kirsty is perfectly capable of doing those jobs. Look at this way: Either you gain another sysop who pitches in the janitorial duties, has experience and interest in improving the policy aspects of the wiki or you don't and they are booted at the next A/RE. Not a lot of risk here. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 02:20, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *::::The "give them a test drive" argument has never held much water with me, given that you could apply it equally well to pretty much ''any'' candidate. And Bob was side-by-side agreeing with Kirsty through a lot of the recent drama, so there's an argument to be made for saying that we already have someone filling that role. Moreover, asking those sorts of questions is not something that you need to be a sysop to do, which Kirsty has already demonstrated capably. Plus, the community expectations issue you cite seem rather hypothetical in nature, rather than grounded in reality. After all, the recent drama ensued ''because'' the sysops took actions that were allegedly contrary to the letter of the law in order to protect something that was clearly in line with the community's wishes. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:22, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:::::Difference of opinion I suppose. There are people who I think could do the job (Pre-sysop Rev/Peralta/KC) but may fall short in some area (drama/experience/experience), and with the safeguards of misconduct and RE, I think the potential reward outweighs the risk. Yes, someone does not have to be a sysop to ask those sort of questions, but to me, it shows an interest in improving the wiki, an interest in the policies and background governance of the wiki, and a capacity to think and raise concerns about a challenging issue. Routine sysop tasks can be learned on the job. My only concern, especially with some of the recent comments, is interest in performing those duties and only KC can really answer that. -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 19:39, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:::I was active in the [[MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Permaban_Appeal_Revisions]] discussions. As for janitorial work, I've got a bit of spambit hunting and that's about it. I believe I've shown some interest in maintaining the wiki through the aforementioned admin related discussions. I have also made some improvements to my wiki code knowledge (not much, but some), which serves me no purpose other than this wiki. As for my departure and return, I find the wiki an easy source of wasting time, which is the reasoning for both. I can't make any promise that I won't depart again. I have no plans to do so, but I can offer no guarantee RL won't mandate it. I'm not 100% on board that dissension for the sake of dissension is a bad idea. There is a value to dissension, so long as the goal is improvement to the wiki or procedures. It seems some policies and ways of doing things are hold overs from the good ole days when the wiki was a hotbed of drama. I don't honestly have any unique skills or abilities to offer. I could learn to do admin tasks, but I don't have any pressing project or really a specific need for the buttons. I think I hit all your questions? I'm well aware of my shortcoming in relation to being a sysop, and I feel I should do better selling myself. But, I think we all know I'm pitching a used kia, calling it a new mercedes isn't going to fool anyone.--<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 02:38, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *::::I wouldn't be that dismissive, and I have a lot of respect for people that are honest with themselves and others regarding what they have to offer and where they come up short. :D {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 07:22, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *'''Question''' - Do you have a preference of pronoun, and if so, what is it? I've been using "she" consistently because you primarily RP a female character, but should I be using "he", or each one in different circumstances (eg. in-game discussions v. wiki-related ones)? {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 17:36, 4 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:I don't have a preference. Picking a female name basically took that option from me. If you want for RP reason to use one or the other that is fine --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 22:51, 4 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *::Thanks. I'm going to '''against''', both because it seems you're not that enthusiastic about the job, and because I'd like to see you make a more concerted effort towards wiki-improvement in the next few months. But if you do so, and bid again then, you'd likely have my support. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 01:48, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| *'''Question''' - Is this a serious bid to be a SysOP or not? I'm with Aichon. If this is now serious, let's take it seriously and remove all of the April fool's stuff. If you really want the job, I'd like to see you make an honest run at it.

| |
| *What do you think could produce more interest in the wiki, wiki community, and/or game? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 03:46, 5 April 2013 (BST)
| |
| *:I'll go with wiki community, although both. The game to wiki conversation rate is small, I guess (I have no idea how many unique players the active number represents). However, the new users who stop using the wiki are a 100% loss. I still find wiki navigation painful at times and although the wiki community in general is fun (if you get used to it), there is a steep welcome curve (see: [[User:Peralta]]). --<sub>[[User:Kirsty_cotton|<span style="color: lightgrey">K</span>]]</sub> 04:13, 5 April 2013 (BST)

| {{bid|Bob Moncrief|PM}}
| |
| I'm nominating Bob. For those of you who don't know him, you really should get to know him, or at the very least look through his history here. We [[UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Bob_Moncrief|tried to promote him]] a few months back, but he declined the nomination. Since then, he's just gotten more awesome. He's ''easily'' the most helpful user currently on the wiki, and has been for a few months.

|
| |
|
| Go look through [[Special:Contributions/Bob_Moncrief|his contributions]], almost all of which are high quality edits. What you'll see is that if he's not busy updating danger reports all over the city (which he does constantly), then he's busy single-handedly restarting the efforts of [[Project Welcome]], which has resulted in his [[User_talk:Bob_Moncrief|his talk page]] being covered by questions from wiki newbies and his helpful replies to them. If he's not busy with rejuvenating Project Welcome, then he's busy helping me (i.e. he's doing all the work) on a major project to restructure the [[A/SA|admin archives]]. And if he's not busy helping me, he's [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Bots|busy swatting spambots]] like mad. Between all of that, he's become the [[Special:ActiveUsers|most active contributor]] in the last three months, with about the same amount of useful contributions to the wiki as the four most active sysops...''combined''. Quality and quantity: a rare combination.

|
| As far as drama goes, anyone who knows him can tell he's a low-drama sort of guy. Moreover, he's shown with the recent [[UDWiki_talk:Administration/De-Escalations/Archive/2013|Izumi A/DE drama]] and [[UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct/Archive/Rosslessness/2013|the followup A/M case]] that he's not afraid to enter the drama with thoughtful opinions that are stated well. And even then, he'll still ask questions and be open to considering new perspectives, rather than entering the discussion with a stance and sticking to it no matter what. As a nice bonus, he's not connected to any of the cliques that have been around. He's just a model wiki user.

| | *[[:Category:{{CURRENTYEAR}}_Promotion_Archives|This year's promotion bids]] |
| :Last time I was nominated, I declined because I could tell that I was about to enter my most work-heavy semester of undergraduate study. Turns out I was right, but that the work is finally on the downslope - I'll still be pretty busy for a couple of weeks, but by the time this gets processed, I'll be almost all done. Because of that, I'm '''accepting the nomination''' with my biggest thanks to Aichon for it. I also want to thank you, Aichon, for gathering a whole bunch of what I've been doing over the past few months on here, but I also want to mention some of the earlier projects I was involved with, namely [[UDWiki:Project Timeline|Project Timeline]] and the revamp of [[UDWiki:Featured Articles|Featured Articles]]. That's because they were the projects that really got me involved in the community here and in trying to improve the wiki, and, I think, set in motion the chain of events that led to this nomination.

| *:::I would not auto-ban the user, since there was only one edit (does not meet the 3eV rule).

I'm also tempted to say Aichon but I think I prefer him for his 'crat roles, and you specifically asked about 'sops. In terms of my personal experience, I'm most indebted to Vapor, whose friendly attitude towards a new user and encouragement to be involved was a major factor in my sticking around here.

| |
| *:I think the most likely thing that would boost interest in the game would be the opening of another city, or the reduction in size of the one we've got, but both of those require Kevanic intervention. While it may seem like both game and wiki are losing a war of attrition, new players and new wiki members do arrive every day, so I think the best thing we can do is encourage them to stay. That's why I revamped [[Project Welcome]] - to increase retention of new wiki users.
| |
| *:We've sort of fallen into a trap of not making things happen because "the wiki/game is dying." Now, when something new tries to get off the ground, there's a chorus of "but there's no point because we're dying," which leads to the thing not getting off the ground, which just reinforces the cycle. By being bold and doing things, we get people invested and excited, and that process also reinforces itself. I'd like to do what I can to create an atmosphere that makes the latter, virtuous cycle strengthen and not the former, vicious one. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 03:30, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Maybe I didn't though. I'm not certain. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:46, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

| *:::::::Well, if no one's checkusered me, I give my full express permission to do so, and release the same extent of information as Yonnua did above. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 02:41, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

| *:::::See, that's the only thing I figured you ''could'' have meant, but that statement was so far from being accurate I was hoping you had something better. Ah, well. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 12:29, 31 March 2013 (BST)

| * '''Vouch''' - Bob was one of the first guys i ever met on the wiki and he helped me out,so i guess i have to vouch for him...--[[User:Paynetrain|<font size="4" face="Matura MT Script Capitals" color="red">Payne</font>]][[User talk:Paynetrain|<font size="4" face="Matura MT Script Capitals" color="blue">Train</font>]] 05:54, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

| *'''Vouch''' - Not sure if I'm allowed to vouch actually, but Bob's activity and actions were directly responsible for renewing my interest in both the wiki and the game. His involvement and responses to recent events give me confidence he would do a good job, and I would look forward to having him as a sysop. {{User:Boneshred_The_Hungry/Signature}} 23:01, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
