Candidates still requiring vouches

Haliman111

Boy, this is gonna look bad.

Anyways, I've been thinking for a while now. I have interest in becoming a sysop. First off, my VB record is clean. No vandalism for me. Second, I try to keep a level head (and, in most situations, succeed). This is my first promotion bid.

I am willing, wanting, and able to spend my time trying to improve this community. I'm here to keep things running smoothly, clean up via janitor work, and help with general work. A/MR, A/VB, A/D and A/SD will be bookmarked. Promise :).

I have ~2000 recorded edits, have been around since early August of 08', founded TSR (which has been halted lately because of internet problems. I plan to fix that), and am trusted (and, I'll admit, distrusted) by many.

I have made mistakes in the past, but like everyone on the wiki should, I am learning from said mistakes. Feel free to ask any questions. --Haliman - Talk 03:37, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Vouch - Haliman is reliable enough to leave power in his hands. --Dr Moulder 15:54:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
• Vouch - Deathwire has monitored Haliman from time to time and Haliman seems to be competent enough to perform any required duties given to him. -Deathwire 03:57, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I've come to know Haliman and find him to be mature and dedicated; he'd be a welcome addition to any endeavor --Amanda Hugenkiss 04:10, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I've known Haliman for a long time now and feel he can be trusted with a position of power. --Dwight easlebrough 04:24, 12 May 2009 (GMT)

Just so you know, this was planned, I didn't jump on Pestolence's bandwagon. I would like to put myself, once again, up for promotion.

My last promotion candidacy was two months ago. I encourage you to read it here.

Essentially, I come with the same message since my last bid. I've been here two years, and have made 3800+ edits in the last two months alone, and would like to be a sysop in order to help the community as best I can, through maintenaince and janitorial work, naturally. Other uses would primarily be streamlining mega editing tasks.

If there is one thing you decide upon when making your decision, I ask that it be whether you trust me as a user, and potentially as a sysop. If you have the confidence to trust me as both, then I ask you to consider this candidacy. If you don't, then I insist you to remain against this nomination.

Honesty and boldness is appreciated. Feel free to ask me questions of any nature. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Vouch - From what I've seen, you seem up to the job. --Haliman - Talk 03:38, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I saw a lot of edits from you so approved. --Dr Moulder 03:38, 12 May 2009 (BST)

User:Pestolence

I've been around the wiki for seven months, since November 2008, and I have made almost 1,000 edits in that time. Among my more helpful work on the wiki has been joining Project Wiki Patrol, giving new users advice or help when they need it, and voting/commenting on the various administration pages. Recently, I have started an attempt to remove merged location pages (example: Dakerstown Hotels) from the wiki and replace them with individual location pages.

I would like to become a sysop for several reasons, primarily because the ability to delete pages will significantly speed up the removal of merged pages from the wiki, and because it will allow me to carry out routine tasks such as speedy deletion, page moving, and page protecting when I see that it needs to be done. I would not restrict my sysop activity to those pages specifically, but the majority of my activity would happen there.

If anyone needs more information to make up their mind on my bid, I invite you to look back through my user contributions, as well as this page which contains most of the major projects I've worked on, and my sandbox page, which includes my work on merged location pages. Anyone who would like to question me further about anything is welcome to do so, here or on my talk page. --Pestolence^(talk) 01:19, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Hesitant Vouch You realize that you still have to go through deletion requests as a sysop right? And Speedy's still require someone other than you... Conndraka^{mod TAZM CFT} 01:35, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Yes, I realize that, and I will go through all the proper channels for deletions. --Pestolence^(talk) 02:12, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Weak Vouch - As above. Needs more drama. --Haliman - Talk 01:39, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Weak Against - At the moment, I can't vouch you. Your heart's in the right place and you're definitely doing the right stuff (the behind-the-scenes maintenance is the hardest in my experience), but I would have wanted to see a months more work from you (and more so in A/VB) before I could vouch. Plus, I didn't appreciate the brain explosion you had last month. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)
