Forum:New admin (again)

Forums: Index > Watercooler > New admin (again)

With Prez and CL absent, there's only really me and Snakeboss. So, considering I'm in a different timezone than most of you (and vandals), we need a new admin. The main qualities needed in an admin are:

• familiarity with the technicalities of editing (see Help:Editing) and the policies of Pikipedia.
• ability to act without bias, on the behalf of the community as a whole.
• activity, now and in the past, so there's a reasonable chance you'll continue to be active.

and probably other stuff. This will work exactly as before: nominate yourself or another user (in which case they'll have to accept), and give a few reasons why you/they would make a good sysop.

I'll close nominations later, depending on how quickly they come in, and then voting will commence as before. GP

Nominations

I nominate myself. I am very familiar with the tools, being an administrator and bureaucrat over at the Kirby Wikia and an administrator at the Pikmin Fanon Wiki. I also am a patroller over at Mario Wiki. I have been here for over a year, and even though I may have been a bit rash at times, I believe I will make a good admin. --Gamefreak75

I nominate GameFreak75. And just so you know, I have no intention of running- yet.Pikdude 07:23, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

I nominate myself. I check the recent changes most every day and monitor current discussions,as well as check out suspicious IP edits. I can help with articles in the and can be trusted with the additional powers of an admin. I am familiar with mediawiki editing as well as html and image editing. I try to see both sides in discussions and arguments, and I have recently become an admin on Pikcanon-NOT. Vote for me- Vol (Talk)

I nominate myself. Because I can. Yeah... Miles 17:53, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

• I nominate myself, because I have been with this wiki for a long time, am relatively mature and calm, and have a fair knowledge of mediawiki. I think I am very articulate and cordial. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 18:07, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

I nominate myself. I check the recent changes list for both Pikipedia and Pikcanon-NOT very frequently, I'm almost always on it. While on it I check every edit made since I've last seen the list, excluding trusted editors like Green, Vol, etc. I'm also the head admin on Pikcanon-NOT, and in addition I run our inter-wiki forums. I've been a member on Pikipedia for a year now, and admittedly haven't done a whole lot. However I've taken the time to learn Mediawiki code, proper admin etiquette, and many other things from Green and Prez. And if it helps any I'm the student-body vice-president at my school, so I'm good with problem solving and leadership skills. --Sir Pikmin

Discussion

Wait were we supposed to vote in the nominations area?Pikdude 17:35, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

Based on his performance in chat, let's not vote for Hippo. Please. Pikdude 18:10, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

Why? He still can manage administrative tools, can he not? Vol (Talk)

Yeah, you shouldn't not vote for someone just because of their activity in chat. It doesn't mean that their not actually a person that can be responsible. I've seen Hippo do good in the recent changes at the old Pikipedia, and he is a strong candidate for the new admin.
