Smashpedia:Requests for adminship

This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.

Rules

 * Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
 * All new nominees should post their name below as a in a level 3 header ( ===Username=== ). Underneath, the user should state why he/she would like to become an administrator. Posting examples of notable work that the nominee has contributed is highly encouraged.
 * Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so underneath the person requesting adminship.
 * After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.

KoRoBeNiKi
Hello. This is KoRoBeNiKi. I wish to become an Admin on here after all that I have done for smash 64 moves and all smash 64 and melee stuff. I wish to become an admin to help get rid of vandals and get rid of combos that do not exist. I wish to be able to report combos that do not work because it is possible to get out of most combos in these games. I wish to be able to furthur my contributions and the "pro" scene of smash. Other good points is that I have never been banned from Any Board whatsoever. I am also a very old member of this wonderful site going back to the time when brawl was not even known about (before when it was just smashwiki). I added starting percentages for characters of smash 64 and I only will change when I am completely sure that I am right. I have been here from the time of character moves not being there for anyone correctly in smash 64 and not even everyone in melee. I have had trobule with editing in the beginning but now I am completely fine with this. Furthermore, I believe that I am responsible enough to hold such an honor. 20:02, 29 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoRoBeNiKi (talk • contribs)


 * Neutral Leaning Ever-So-Slightly Towards Support. I read your statement and was GOING to say support but... YOU SHOULD HAVE SIGNED YOUR USERNAME XD Kperfekt722 (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Opposition Don't look so good when you don't even sign your own request. Also, I note many of your contributions are sparse, and marked by large periods of inactivity. Committment, sir, committment.Semicolon (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Crystal_lucario
Well... I've been here for quite a while and have done a good job editing and fixing up junk. And ever sience the switch (Curses Wikia!) There has been way more spam and junk pages that need to be deleted and... Errrm... Yeah... that's all I guess...

(Don't complain my speach is to short I don't say much usually) ~CrystalLucario~ ~Guardian of aura~ ~Protector of the Sacred Crystals~ 20:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I Oppose. Sorry Dude, I just don't think you would be good if you became a sysop. I don't see you contribuing to anything except for user pages. Im not goign to agree just because we are tight. Once again I apologize. I just don't think you would make a good sysop...... Zmario 20:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I am Neutral I think he needs more reasons why. Kperfekt722 17:50, 22 April 2008

Oppose and I think I'm going to close this one as failed. --Sky (t · c · w) 22:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose Can't see a need for you to have sysop tbh. --Charitwo 06:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxico
Hello all my Smashwiki friends. I am a vivid editor named Oxico and I have been hoping to gain sysop power since I came here. Some things I have done include editing all character articles by adding the Special Movements sections and heavily editing most movesets. I also have helped pick out and weed alot of, shall I say, faulty information in the articles. However, I have always wanted the ability to delete unneccesarry pages.

Though I may be young compared to other users who were nominated for Sysop, I have much desire to fufill this role. When I first joined last December, I thought the Wiki needed no help. It looked fine, and I didn't think my help was needed. I started looking through the pages, and I saw some information I had not seen anywhere else on one of the character pages. I looked every place where valid Smash Bros. information was, but could not find a good source to back the information. So, I edited it out and called it speculation. I did this to many different pages, and soon, I was an avid editor. When Final Smash information was leaked, I created many of the Final Smash pages. I also calculated the damage for every Final Smash. I also made sure all character articles were treated equally. they must all look the same way, to keep order. My crowning jewel, I believe is the Special Movements sections on every character's article in SSBB. The sections took me a long time, as I had to find out much information in other videos for On-Screen Appearances and the like. Most information on the On-Screen Appearance page and Taunt page.

Here is a link to show all my contributions. --Oxico (talk) 03:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Oxico
 * I Strongly Support He is a very loyal asset and i see him update evrything. He has gotten my vote! Zmario (talk) 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral. While everything that Oxico has done has been quite good, I've only seen him working in very specific areas of the wiki.  I also have not seen him doing any of the house keeping on the wiki such as marking articles for cleanup or labeling stubs.  More of this would help his case, as would simply more editing in general.  However, his contributions to character animations do show dedication and I don't feel that he would abuse the tools if he were given them.  Clarinet Hawk (talk) 01:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Somewhat Support. He did a lot of the technical stuff like damage percentages and codecs, right? I may not agree with his actual gameplay style, but he's done very well with editing articles, even if I can't think of specific examples at the moment. But I know I've been seeing his name a LOT of different places lately. - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I Support. He worked very hard on the special movements page for each character. And he updates a lot of information a lot every day. Oxico would be a great admin. JtM (talk) 13:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Extreme Support. I though he already WAS a sysop. Kperfekt722 (talk) 22:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose: Seems to want it just to have the tools, user has not expressed reasoning for actually needing them. -- 07:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Clarinet Hawk
Hey everyone, I'm Aaron Kirschner, known on the smash wiki as Clarinet Hawk. I'm putting myself up for sysop nomination because I fell that I would be a good addition to our already great set of admins. I have focused heavily on gameplay elements during my time here. My notable additions include the pages on Spring Canceling and Guard Breaking, as well as being active in the discovery and research of the SLAPASTICK and SLAPAYO glitches. I have also made numerous additions to the general properties of different attacks and techniques. In addition to my work with the game play elements of Smash Bros, I have spent time almost every day for the past few months doing general spot checks of the wiki. When I see problems, I add the necessary templates and/or fix the problems. While I try to do everything I can to make the wiki better, I also understand the need to encourage newer users to contribute. As such, when I see problems, I err on the side of showing the newer editors the best way to make their article(s) meaningful rather than simply do it myself. Of course, whenever I see vandalism, I revert it and notify an admin of the offender.

As for why I should be a sysop, I feel that my contributions speak for themselves. I have always maintained a professional manner and writing style. In addition to these, I have done my part to discuss important issues on both the talk pages and the forums. In terms of my primary area of gameplay, I am technically advanced player. While this may seem like a strange thing to determine sysopship based on, I mention it only to prove the fact that should a debate over the effectiveness or existence of a technique arise, I have the means to recreate and test it. I am also part of a crew that has been able to perform every legitimate technique. Therefore, I can test almost any proposed technique or strategy to resolve conflict. Beyond the gameplay elements, my daily checks of the smash wiki occasionally encounter vandalism or other pages that merit deletion. While I nominate these whenever I see them, it would be more efficient if I had the ability to watch the debate of the pages and delete them myself. I would still give every page the benefit of the doubt and allow ample time for defense of the page. As a final note, I have a photographic memory, making it quite easy for me to spot changes to pages and remember names of editors. This has been invaluable in quickly recognizing vandalism and vandals. I request to become a sysop so I can do my part to better this great wiki. Thank you.

 * Neutral with strong leaning to support - The only reason it's not a full support are all the edits you've made to your page, Slapayo and Slapastick combined with a "low" edit count. Otherwise, I think this candidate would benefit from the tools, and I'm certain he could have used them earlier today. :) --Sky (t · c · w) 03:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

While Aaron has helped quite a bit, I'm just not sure if he's the right person. I don't have anything bad to say about him, though. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 05:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Come to think of it, I think Aaron would be a good addition. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Support Hes a very nice guy. Nuff said.Zmario (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Strongly Support While Clarniet Hawk and I have not got on well in the past, he is a great asset to this wiki, and has made it vastly better, and seems to be pretty helpful to newcomers. His one downfall, however, is that he does not appreciate the brilliance that is Ike! Ike6481 (talk) 14:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Support. I thought he already WAS an admin! - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Support. He is a very active member, whom is serious about his work, and kind with editing, he also gets the jobs done. (Wolf O&#39;Donnell (talk) 01:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC))

Strong Support. I know the guy personally. He's a talented player, he loves the game, and he has far too much time on his hands. Makes for a good combination, no? Semicolon (talk) 14:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Support He has made more then enough contributions. Kperfekt722 (talk) 03:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Support He has something which most editors here don't,a brain!Hes very level headed and makes good judgment based on good reasons.I was surprised when he wasn't one! Hatake91 (talk) 22:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Support. He's a talented player and a very knowledgable person. He could put these traits to real fine use by becoming a sysop. It's a great combination that will get the job done. - GalaxiaD (talk) 23:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Uhh... Everyone is supporting or leaning towards this... Good enough? Kperfekt722 (talk) 22:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll ask one of our bureaus to close this one. --Sky (t · c · w) 22:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Support -- 06:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Gargomon251
GalaxiaD recommended I check this out. It would be nice to be able to do things like protect pages, block users, merge pages etc., I'm just not sure how much time I can devote to this. Maybe I just need a little more information. I have many positive comments on my talk page, and I always check for vandalism/errors in the late hours, but I'm never here on any particular schedule, and I know I've made some hasty edits in the past. Also I won't be able to edit any SSB articles since I don't have it, and since I usually do this from my Wii, major edits at would require copying and pasting may prove difficult, given how bad my PC is. However, I do play often, and I am very good with the smaller edits like spelling and grammar, even if I'm unlikely to write entire articles or edit specific data such as character matchups, character history, or fan-games. Well, now that I think of it, this isn't a very convincing argument towards my adminship...hmm. Well maybe if others agree, I can find out what is required. - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Support. The lack of PC thing does suck, but Gargomon has been a true asset to this wiki for some time now.  I think he's deserving of the tools if only to make it easier for him to continue doing what he has been.  Clarinet Hawk (talk) 01:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Support. You're a great editor. I'm glad to see that you're running. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 02:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Support. Heck, I was the one who suggested he try this out in the first place. I truly do believe that he'll make a great sysop. With the tools of an admin at his disposal, there's nothing he won't be able to accomplish. He's the Leonardo da Vinci of SmashWiki. - GalaxiaD (talk) 02:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Kperfekt722 (talk) 10:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Gargomon has been doing this without a PC for the last six months. If he didn't tell me that he wasn't using a PC, I would never have known.  His contributions are great; what does it matter what he's using to make them.  Clarinet Hawk (talk) 15:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

You know what? Your right. I'm changing my vote to Support Kperfekt722 (talk) 20:50, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Just a note, my PC works, but it's over ten years old, running on Windows2000. I can still make full page edits, but it's not gonna happen very often. Sometime this year I should get a new(er) PC from my brother and then it will be smooth. - Gargomon251 (talk) 02:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral Based on the nom and explanation of why he wants the tools, I don't want to support; but there's no reason to oppose. --Charitwo 06:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose I really don't see the need. Plus, you even said yourself you can't find the time to do it and it takes to long for you. Why become a sysop if you can't find the time to do it. I would vote support if you didn't bag yourself like that. Zmario (talk) 21:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Zmario
Once again I am running for the sysop nomination. I hope I could become a sysop because of the massive amounts of time I am on wikia. I know a lot bout all three games and own the startegy guides. I am always decribed as creative and outgoing. That is why you have seen me more obn lately. Once my school lets out can come online all the time and contribute to the already great Super Smash Bros Wikia! I want to be able to ban/block someone for spamming or doing other non-appropriate things on articles. I have been here since march and I know my way around the site. I upload pictures and find and flush out baddies. If you ask me this is the new Improved Zmario. Zmario v0.2 BABY!


 * Weak Support. Eh, you've made enough edits. Kperfekt722 (talk) 10:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose - You are far too quick to anger, and attempting to circumvent the block that Silver placed on you was inappropriate (not that I agree with the block, naturally). --Sky (t · c · w) 07:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support. I'm none too familiar with Zmario's past, since I've only been here for two months. However, I know that he's worked hard during all the time he's been here. Sure, he may have once personally attacked others and made joke pages, but I believe he has changed. He has acquired responsibility, a trait that is very important for adminship. Heck, I believe it to be a requisite. We can all learn to forgive and forget, right? Zmario has admitted that he's a new person, and his contributions have grown. Let's give him the power of adminship. - GalaxiaD (talk) 18:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose Maybe next time, I don't want a fellow sysop with temperament issues. --Charitwo 06:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral I can't really find any reason to oppose, but as much as I hate to say it, I can't find many reasons to support either.. (Wolf O'Donnell (talk · contributions) 07:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC))

Pikamander2
Hello everyone. I'm Pikamander2. I have been editing SmashWiki for nearly a year now. Many of my edits are cleanup or reverting vandalism. I have never really thought of becoming a sysop, until the subject was mentioned on my talk page. After that, I thought, "Well, why not? I suppose that I could give it a try."

Here are a few reasons why I believe that I should become a sysop:
 * I contribute nearly every day
 * I never use foul language, on regular or talk pages
 * I use real good grammar and speling 99% of the time
 * I don't melt or get angry under pressure.

So, what does everyone think?


 * Neutral. You don't go into much detail or explain what you're going to do once you acquire adminship. Your contributions so far have been pretty good, though. If you had been more specific, I'd support you for sure. - GalaxiaD (talk) 22:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Mainly, I want to be able to Block IPs/protect pages when necessary. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 00:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I suppose if you're going to do that and remain responsible, then I don't see why you shouldn't be a sysop. Support. - GalaxiaD (talk) 03:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Support. You definitely make enough contributions to the smash community. In fact, I thought you already were an admin! JtM (talk) 03:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I won't judge your potential as an admin, but you said I use real good grammar and speling 99% of the time You spelled "spelling" wrong AND you should have said "very well". Were you joking when you typed that bullet point? - Gargomon251 (talk) 08:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I was joking there. Note the "99% of the time." --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 12:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You'd be surprised how often I see people type like this without even knowing. - Gargomon251 (talk) 02:47, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I know this isn't the best way to decide something, but I'm a bit torn... How long have you been here? Kperfekt722 (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I made my first edit to the Wiki on July 20, 2007. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 22:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral Don't really have any reason to oppose but don't seem to be able to support due to various reasons in this discussion...sorry --Charitwo 06:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well with your edit being back there, I suppose I can give a Support. Kperfekt722 (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral I can't think of any reason to support nor oppose. Zmario (talk) 21:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
