Misanthropy

Misanthropy (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks, was going to put it off but I can't really see a reason to. I've been active here for about 8-9 months, I guess, and apart from personal upkeep of group and user stuff, I'm mostly concerned with weighing in on suggestions, scheduled deletions, and all that community niceness. I'd like to be able to take a more pro-active role in tackling vandals, doing the deletions that're scheduled, and probably tackling the merged locations, and sysop access would save a bunch of time in the latter. I'm currently a sysop over at the Teletraan I Transformers wiki, so I'm not new to the interface, and I'll not be fucking about with buttons I'm not really meant to. Also you know you need someone to be the dashing face of this operation. 06:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

AND if I was writing down the noise a transformer makes when it transforms, how would I spell it? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 08:57, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Aw, shucks. If you're referring to the whole wiki/wikia split, it's a petty heap of shit that I avoided from day one, since it was the kind of drama that no amount of giving-a-care would help. As for your questions, first answer is to attempt to get a more active base for detailing recent events, as the wiki currently seems like the obituary for a fun game from a few years back, rather than one that's still very active. A more active userbase on the wiki would also increase turnover for things like suggestions and policy discussions, and could be drummed up with threads on the major forums (Brainstack, PKA, Hub, Barhah, etc). The answer to your second question is (IPA) [ʒʌ ʒoʊ ʒʌ ʒoʊ ʒiː] 09:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Yonnua Koponen (talk | contribs | logs | block | IP Check | vndl data | discuss)

Alright, so it's been a month since I was nominated by Thad, but as I said at the time, I thought it would be best to wait a month before running. So, the basic skin of the matter. I'm experienced in all manners of wiki activities. I know the admin pages well. I've also performed several large scale janitorial tasks. I helped Ross kick the Orphans, and I've been helping to keep the list down since then. I archive the suburb news once a month, an activity which I just performed on Thursday. Generally, I'm an active member of the community, and I'm hoping to take it to the next level, and help contributing as part of the sysop team. Well then, err, thanks for any vouches, and if you have any queries or issues, feel free to express them.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 12:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

  That would be when you accused me of vandalism, and I then showed you inconclusive proof that it wasn't me?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

  Not all questions or complaints have to be taken personally, Yonnua. It was not a vandalism accusation - if I actually did think it was, I would have reported it as such. It was a simple request to not alter the map - which may have occurred accidentally. I included images to show proof that the map was accurate as I had fixed it - not knowing that I had attributed the changes to you erroneously. Yes, I apologized to you - twice in fact - in view of how upset you were evidenced by your childish name calling. I am an otherwise helpful editor, at a level of expertise that could only be described as beginner or novice. I am not a troublemaker, and was attempting only to help. The wiki is a place where editors of all levels of experience contribute, and perhaps I should avoid dealing with you in the foreseeable future. I think you are a great editor, and I wish you the best, but as Sysop, it is expected that you will have to deal with more that a fair share of "stupid pricks... posting slanderous(sic) accusations" and you can't get into a fight every single time. I will end my involvement in this discussion with an apology for having caused you so much trouble. --FLZombie 01:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

  Just a small note; Don't call someone thin skinned and immature, when you don't want him to take it personally. That was a personal accusation alright. That was it. --Thadeous Oakley 18:23, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

• Weak KeepVouch - He's a nice guy who does tons of wiki-helpful things, but that's not what makes a sysop. I'm unsure of his drama-immunity; though I've seen him avoid plenty, I've also seen him get caught up in a few shitstorms.

• Against - I actually would've been more up for supporting you last month. In recent history though, you've had a few lapses in judgement, such as the suggested policy that didn't go through, the dealings with Iscariot's vandal data, and one or two other matters that I don't recall off the top of my head. None of them are permanent black marks, but, as DDR mentioned, I'm afraid I wouldn't trust you with drama, which you've demonstrated an interest in getting involved in. I think you're a nice guy and do good work around the wiki (even thanked you for it earlier this week), but the drama issue is something I can't get around right now. —Aichon— 20:55, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

  I actually have a 50% vouch rate. And if I get put in, I'll have a re-evaluation in 4. Not that you'll change your vote anyway.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

  You have a 50% vouch rate so I should change my bolded keyword? I think not. You'll have a re-evaluation in four months? Really? Odd how this didn't go in your bid, considering you wrote it and all. No I won't be changing my vote (careful use of that superpower called reading reveals this isn't a vote, a potential sysop might realise that...), you are unsuitable to be a sysop for a single day let alone any amount of months. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

  Fair enough. It's your opinion. The vote thing was a linguistic screw-up. And really, me re-evaluating in 4 months shouldn't be part of the equation, as you said, because if someone is an inherently bad sysop, then even a couple of months could be damaging. So it's more of a then thing than a now thing. I just wanted a record of it so that if I do make sysop, I'll remember to stick by it.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:40, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

  Certainly isn't my opinion, it's fact. This is not a vote, people should not alter their input due to numbers of people going the other way and you are most definitely unfit based on your conduct. Thing is, the only other sysop with a re-evaluation clause, made it part of his bid so it's was actually enforceable. You haven't. It's not enforceable, it's words on a page, another act done for how it looks rather than for the right reasons. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:46, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

After talking to Boxy, Yonnua has helped out a lot on the wiki, but we aren't completely convinced about your motives and abilities with the buttons and the responsibility of being an UDWiki janitor. You seem to be prone to being involved in unfortunate and sometimes demeaning conflicts and I'd appreciate you practice your conduct in this area before running again. You've been making good progress of late, for sure, but the community is still very split about how you would deal with the buttons. I'd say a couple of months, be good and re-run again, but for now we are going to have to deny you. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:16, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
