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

Hello Again. Anyway, degree ends for the year on monday, so I thought I'd throw myself back into the sysop arena.

Lets see. What have I done since my last sysop bid?

• Been cycling pretty much everything on Developing Suggestions.
• Discovered 9 of Borehamwood's 11 phone masts and updated the wiki accordingly.
• Reviewed all of the MFD's suburb listings and trimmed over 20 after discussion with the group.
• Tried to get involved with the new Community Portal.
• Helped design the new Main Page

Enough?

Last time I was a sysop, I was pretty active, and spent a lot of my time categorising and moving pages to their proper Borehamwood and Monroeville Namespaces. You can check my logs, I've handily popped the vandal template at the top of this bid, so you can look at my logged activity, talk page, contributions etc.

As last time I encourage all voters to ask questions, even if you decide to vote for me.

Cheers, --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:21, 12 May 2009 (BST)

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)
• Vouch - For all the time I've spent over the past few weeks as a cadet I've found Haliman to be an upright and good man, he can be trusted with anything of importance without a doubt. Zhekarius 04:29, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - While I have seen you using the Admin pages, I don't think you have enough experience to become a sysop. Just looking through your contributions about 2/3rds of the last 500 edits (going back to February) have been to your own group pages, the rest to other pages with a small minority being the admin ones. I think it would also be of benefit for you to get involved with Policy Discussion as I don't think I've ever seen you on there. I'm not against because I dislike you, rather I feel that you need a bit more experience on the wiki (particularly on the admin areas) before you become a sysop. -- Cheese 08:41, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Retard, also gets his friends to dogpile his bid. --Cyberbob 08:49, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - I'm sorry I can't return the favour, Haliman, but I noticed the same as Cheese when I checked your contribs. You're primarily focussed on your group (which, of course, isn't a bad thing) but generally it isn't demonstrative of sysop material. You have plenty of time ahead of you to jump in those Admin tasks though, so don't be disheartened. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:55, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I was gonna have to go against, then i saw he got all his friends to vouch, and i just went nawww.--xoxo 09:02, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - The shit that was pulled at the beginning of the year speaks volumes. --SirArgo ^Talk 09:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Ignoring any personal history, and it would still be no. Simply because you have not enough experience. And you are blowing this up yourself by trying to meatpuppet, or whatever it is called. The first 5 vouches are all from people in your group, and most of them have no particular contributions other then these ones. It's painfully obvious.--Thadeous Oakley 09:34, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Also, your opening line suggest you don't even have faith in your own candidacy. If you think yourself that it looks bad, then why bother in the first place.--Thadeous Oakley 10:16, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  You do realise he's referring to the fact that he was the third applicant in as many hours? Seems like that personal history might still be clouding your judgment...--xoxo 05:07, 13 May 2009 (BST)

• Against - Umbrella relations fiasco. Also, the friend vouch thing doesn't matter because...

• 1. They don't have too many edits all in all, let alone in admin sections so they probably don't even know if you'd be capable to handle it or not.
  2. They're your friends and don't say anything other than "He's a good guy and doesn't afraid of anything". No citing of example or anything.
  3. Large amounts of vouches don't work because this isn't a vote.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 11:06, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• It's completely pointless to express a preference now that a 'crat that will still be serving come decision time has said he's against your candidacy. Promotions cannot occur on a deadlocked decision, so the most you can get is one 'crat for and one against which is no promotion.

(Talk | Contribs)

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)

• Question: Janitor or Drama-Lama duty? Which do you prefer, and excel in?--Thadeous Oakley 10:07, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  I prefer (and excel in) Janitor duty, because it is something I can do consistently on the wiki without the need for other users. Naturally, Drama duty is more interesting but the political atmosphere usually makes it more stressful and less accomplishing when compared to the former. Having said that, I have and will continue to deal with drama, but I don't pick fights and don't search for them either, and I know when something is over my head (don't expect any coups). D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 10:47, 12 May 2009 (BST)

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)

Plus, I didn't appreciate the brain explosion you had last month. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:13, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Against - I think you have done a lot to help out around the wiki but I feel you do need some more experience before you become a sysop. Just keep doing what you're doing now and branch out into areas such as Policy Discussion, etc and come back in a month or two. =) -- Cheese 08:47, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against - Retard. --Cyberbob 08:50, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  :( Bureaucrats: please consider the source of this comment when evaluating my bid. --Pestolence^(talk) 20:06, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Good thing I'm not a retard. That could've been embarrassing. --Cyberbob 04:55, 13 May 2009 (BST)

• Weak against - I'm not so sure about you. Haven't seen you that much around.--Thadeous Oakley 10:10, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  I provided some links in my bid if you want to see what I've done lately. --Pestolence^(talk) 19:59, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Vouch Pestolence is a contributer definately heading in the right direction. I'm not sure if the current bid will be successful, but if he carries on with the enormous amount of maintenence he currently does, I don't believe it will be too long before he gets his mop. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:58, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  hahaha it's always hilarious to see how people up for promotion suddenly pull out the ultra-mature card when voting on other people's bids --Cyberbob 16:08, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  Thanks bob. And to think only one section above you called me not funny. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:26, 12 May 2009 (BST)

• Vouch Last months brainfart aside I think you would do a pretty decent job of this and if not, what I said in DDR's bid above will hold true and the rest of the Sysops can crush you :) --Honestmistake 17:26, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch He'd be good for it. --Johnny Bass 17:32, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - Brain explosions are good. You're a psychopath after all, amirite? :P But seriously, good contributions. --Janus ^talk 21:15, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Against --WanYao 22:05, 12 May 2009 (BST)
• Abstain - I would provide a reason, but I think these few lines from an old epsiode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged says it better: Yami - "Alright. But who are you?" Bakura - "I'm Bakura." Yami - "Never heard of you." --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} (status:‎Mudkip!) 00:49, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - Easy to get along with, and a person who is open to discussion would be a great addition to the Sysop team. Always nice to have a clean wiki too. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 02:31, 13 May 2009 (BST)
• Meh - Which I guess is an abstain. But it's a strong Meh. --– Nubis ^NWO 10:32, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  What? A strong abstain... ok then. --Pestolence^(talk) 12:23, 13 May 2009 (BST)

• against who the fuck are you?... yeah i know it's been said before. but it really works well.----Sexualharrison 21:52, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  I could say the same to you, seeing as how you've only made 10 edits since February. I've been around; seems like you're the one who hasn't. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:57, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  But to answer your question, I became active only in the last few months, when you weren't around. I don't know if you were actually looking for an answer, but I gave it anyway. Stay classy, --Pestolence^(talk) 22:23, 13 May 2009 (BST)

  I don't suppose that will influence your input in any way, will it? --Pestolence^(talk) 00:10, 14 May 2009 (BST)

  excuse me for sometimes having a life.. Also I'm not the one who is up for a sysop. so the amount of my edits is meaningless. and yes this does effect my vote. now i dislike you even MOAR! haha.. no really. from the little i've now looked up on you. (nothing really) and from your vouch votes from some of the people I like on this wiki. is a pretty good sign your not a total douchebag but still I've never heard of you until today. get some more time in and get on the radar.. twist bobs nipples. tell izzy to shut the fuck up.. you know fun stuff. my vote stands. and i can't belive i'm agreeing with whats his face.. NEEDS MORE DRAMA----Sexualharrison 01:32, 14 May 2009 (BST)

  Fair enough. --Pestolence^(talk) 02:40, 14 May 2009 (BST)

• 2/3 Varch 1/3 Other - A HARD MEH. No really, It's a varch. _■^■ 02:48, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Abstain - Have never heard of this person before. --Pyrranha 18:42, 14 May 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - i trust pestolence not to fuck with sysop powers. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 21:31, 16 May 2009 (BST)
• Question: Would your promotion result in you dedicating more time to this wiki? - User:Whitehouse 23:42, 16 May 2009 (BST)

  If I was promoted, then yes, I would spend more time on the wiki. --Pestolence^(talk) 14:58, 17 May 2009 (BST)

  Hopefully that will mean that you'll have time for non-sysop stuff too. Vouch. - User:Whitehouse 22:26, 17 May 2009 (BST)

• Question: Will you put gold in the basket?-- Adward  14:06, 17 May 2009 (BST)

  Of course! --Pestolence^(talk) 14:58, 17 May 2009 (BST)

  Hamters are worth moar.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 01:27, 18 May 2009 (BST)

  Hamters? _{and keep the mudkips off my promotion bid} --Pestolence^(talk) 01:32, 18 May 2009 (BST)

	Hamters in the Basket Supporter
	This user believes that if Pestolence does in fact put the hamters in the basket that this situation can be resolved.
