Wowpedia:Requests for adminship/archive2

TherasTaneel
Theras needs the tools; just in the past couple days of having worked on the wiki, I think I've deleted at least 100 files. Theras is also courteous when in discussion with other users. Theras has over 1500 deleted contributions, a good majority of them speedy deletion requests (see deleted contributions [admin only]). I am nominating Theras for adminship. --Sky (t · c · w) 22:46, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * Support - Now he can start welcoming people automatically, too. -- 00:15, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Hard worker, especially with the images. 02:18, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He has his flaws, but so do we all. Based on what he does (a lot!), he could definitely use the Administrator tools.-- 02:40, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Thumbs up from me. Welcome aboard. -- k_d3 19:46, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

A'noob
A'noob has been doing great work around WoWWiki, from normal editing to fending off vandals to even moving articles to correct names or the correct namespace and properly marking articles for speedydeletion when needed. I feel A'noob would make a great addition to the administration and would make good use of the tools provided with. With this said, I nominate A'noob for adminship. 14:36, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

... plus he has a nice sig. 14:36, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is a funny way of spelling "huge green thing that takes up a full line".-- 16:03, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Aye... but then I can't judge.. mine is long too. 00:47, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've no objections, but I don't feel I can vote atm solely because I've missed some stuff recently. Don't recall ever having any issues with him :) 11:01, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Anyone alive down there?
 * 01:50, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think enough time has passed, A'noob has received no negative comments. We'll have to poke Kay or Kirk soon. 01:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why'd it have to be snakes?

 * Support - Well... cause I nominated him. 15:32, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A'noob works hard. He has a very high edit count (bot-worthy in a good way), and seems very absorbent of advice. A'noob has demonstrated the responsibility needed to be granted more user rights. He is friendly, which is good. There is always room for improvement in anyone, and saying any of the minor reasons to deny him Adminship that I had to strain to think of would be extremely petty on my part.-- 16:03, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Never had an issue with the guy and he does do a LOT of good quality work from what I can see. O have no reason to think he wouldn't be a good admin. [[Image:IconSmall_DrakeAzure.gif]] Drazisil (t/undefined) 23:59, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Needs to learn the policies a bit better but his instincts are good. -- 01:38, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He has done a really good job in many articles, and is generally friendly and objective during discussions. Benitoperezgaldos (talk – contribs) 16:05, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Trustworthy editor, looks to be a good fit for the tools. -- k_d3 02:27, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He seems to be the best choice for adminship :) Sl2059 (talk) 16:35, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - A'noob really helps out the community and keeps an open mind during discussions. --Sairez (talk) 12:31, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - He is very helpful, edits articles often and is very friendly :) - Gebezis 17:21, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Ressy

 * Active on Wowpedia (her editcount is messed up here, she's got more edits under her belt than it appears), on IRC all the time (not that it's required, but it is useful)
 * Active in the community in general (she even brought over a tech support team to start a new tech support "project" under the Wowpedia flag)
 * Knows the admin tools already - was an active administrator on the Farmville Wikia wiki but left when we did

All in all, I am positive Ressy would put the admin tools to good use. -- 02:49, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Responses

 * Support - Proposal. -- 02:49, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - No comment necessary. -- k_d3 02:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - What took you guys so long? User:Drezbek 03;17 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Sure.-- 03:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - To be honest, I'm not so sure about this either, but I can remember no reasons against Ressy. Ressy has been around since 2007, but has been "active in the community in general" in a part of the community where I am not. I presume that means IRC. Adminship is just more buttons, and not an exclusive club. However, there are skills and a level of integrity required for adminship... which Ressy seems to have. As I am unsure, and reasoning for or against adminship can not be petty or empty, I'll just mark myself as neutral. Sorry.-- 22:43, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I thought I'd disagree just to be different, but I think this is a good idea. Ddcorkum (talk) 04:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Ride on cowboy! 07:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - 16:02, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I'm generally a supportive person, along with her helpful attitude, I think she would make a great addition and use the tools wisely... just don't disappear after the promotion.  21:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Ressy has been very helpful to me learning how to wiki, etc, and I think she would make a great admin. Solocommand (talk) 21:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Undecided - While there is an overwhelming number of support votes, I'm not so sure about this. -- 21:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Opposed - Nothing personal, but being active in other communities other than Wowpedia/WoWWiki does not count, especially looking at the edits ( 1358 2681? Other admins have been promoted for much more). Tech support? Farmville? Not something that counts in my book. While Ressy is a good person I don't support this, and no offense to the others but this looks a bit like it's a "token female admin" propossal. -- 14:14, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Edit count is not indicative of activity or technical ability. And if you feel it is appropriate to make gender-based cheap shots, perhaps I could run for adminship myself (although my edit count is far lower). - LucidFox (talk) 13:32, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Opposed - Nothing personal, but I never knew that Ressy existed until this vote was made and I'm on this site alot. I feel that users should be known to the community before they become admins. For example before A'noob became an admin I knew about him and even worked with him before. --Sairez (talk) 18:42, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral Looked over her edits and noticed that she does a really helpful job and I noticed that she can reply to someone's concerns on the discussions pages in a timely manner. However I am still concerned by the fact I didn't hear about Ressy before the vote. --Sairez (talk) 19:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Dark T Zeratul
Dark T Zeratul has been doing great work around Wowpedia, from normal editing to fending off vandals and half-blind admins xD

I feel the little protoss would make a wonderful addition to the Admins' Ship and would make good use of the tools provided with. With this said, I hereby nominate Dark T Zeratul for adminship! 10:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

xporc
Hello everyone. I hope I'm doing this right! In the past months, I have often been thinking that the admin team needed new blood in order to bring some freshness around here. Looking at the activity of this page, it seems no new admin was empowered in the last five years, and members of the administration team that were considered semi-active in that time are not so much active anymore. I've joined the wiki about a year and a half ago, and I know that's not much compared to some other active editors, but I am proposing myself for adminship. Most active members here already presumably know about the way I work, and I wouldn't change much as an admin, besides being conscious that I would now be a representative of sort for the website & community, and so would (hopefully) act with more maturity, thought and care. I know World of Warcraft is slowly getting older and not as relevant anymore with time, but I think with the userbase we got here (and why not try to bring new people?) we can still do a lot of things!

 * Support &laquo;admin&raquo; - I vote for xporc becoming an admin. He brought it up, looks solid, and has mildly dabbled in administrativa of his own volition. I can not think of any objections.-- 19:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support &laquo;admin&raquo; - Could use more active admins. Xporc is a solid choice. -- (•) 23:21, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support &laquo;admin&raquo; - He's a solid contributor, very personable, mindful of policies, and active in discussions. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:23, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Support &laquo;admin&raquo; - A fresh new Admin will do us some good. Fully support.  17:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Support - Keshayra After seeing a post on EU Blizzard forums saying this site is "outdated" this site needs fresh blood to get it going again. If he's selected I wish Xporc best of luck with the new post. :-)
 * Support - No issues here. You'd be a great addition. -Cannibeans (talk) 09:27, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
