 * discussion=Hello there! I'm ThantodoraSage, and I would like to apply as a chat moderator for this wiki.

My reasons for applying are thus: There hasn't been an active chat mod over a year. By this I mean the only Chat Mod on the wiki hasn't been active since late 2017, and I think that this wikia really needs one again. I say this because I recently encountered a troll, and with no chat mod to control them anyone could be a victim. Therefore I think the wiki needs a new active one. I think that I could do this because I'm in the chat almost daily, and I'm also familiar with the basic chat mod tools.

Hope you consider me, and have a good day!

ThanatodoraSage is an active member of our chat, and is a very friendly user. It is true there has been trolls in the chat (I'm actively in there, also), and I agree there should be a Chat Mod to deal with this. I vote for.

  Harrypotterexpert101  What's Up? 22:14, January 5, 2019 (UTC)

For: Joined her in chat for a few hours, a very delightful person. With the current Chat Mod absent, I think she is a suitable candidate. =D -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:29, January 18, 2019 (UTC)

For The wiki needs a Chat Mod and ThanatodoraSage is willing to fill the position. She seems mature and hard working and the jobs a great starting position. Zane T 69 (talk) 23:25, January 29, 2019 (UTC)

As everyone is in support of this, myself included, there is no need for a formal vote. Congrats & happy chatting! --Ironyak1 (talk) 01:29, February 5, 2019 (UTC) }}

{{archive Very self-conscious about this; I'd like to start by reassuring the deliberators: 95% of my editing time, I'm absolutely fine with just being a regular user, so I won't be upset if this request is not accepted.
 * result={{U|Sammm鯊}} granted Content Moderator rights.
 * sig=--  Seth Cooper  owl post! 01:18, December 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * discussion=

My reason for requesting this User Right, all surround the same issue: images. I've seen a couple of Admins and Users remarked that, "there's no limitation on how many images a wiki can host, why the persistence on removing duplicates?" and I agree, the first statement is completely true, but I'd like to explain why personally, I'd really prefer there to be no duplicates.

Besides the fact that duplicates literally have no functioning purpose for there's already at least another image of the same thing lying around, for duplicates that have been diligently categorized, they'd consequently increase the inaccuracies of those categories they are in, most visible ones being the use of {{tlx|Imagecat}} on articles. For example:

{{Imagecat|Images of Ginny Weasley}} (Note: The template is styled to reflect  no matter what, so ignore the "Requests for permissions" displayed in the template on the right; the example is , purpose self-explanatory.)

As I'm sending this request, there's supposedly "442" images of Ginevra Weasley; that seemed like a lot, and I'm sure, after deleting duplicates, there probably would still be a lot of images left, which is not a problem. Having a lot of images is not the problem; having unnecessary duplicates mixed within, that, is what I considered problematic. I want to see a more accurate calculation of how many images there really is for a subject, not going into an image category and get confused because of the déjà vu the duplicates caused, "wait, have I already gone through this page?" etc. I'd like to browse images that are actually different, without constantly being interrupted by "wait, I have seen this already, right? Or was it just a similar image?"

To be clear, I do understand this is a very minuscule issue, it is in no way severe that needs immediate attention, if any attention at all. I wholeheartedly agree that, it effects so little that it makes little sense making it a priority to take care of, when there's so much more to be done on the wiki. I don't think anyone is to be blamed for anything, even the ones who uploaded duplicates, because frankly, it is rather unavoidable when it does happen: There's just so many images on this wiki, and if one is not properly categorized/named or being in use, it is very likely to have a duplicate uploaded because the existing file of it was hard to locate.

I'm not trying to set up some unrealistic goal of "no more duplicates", that, I think is just not possible. Rather, I'd like to do damage control at the first possible moment, just so they don't get left alone "because it's not that important", and eventually be forgotten about, and just sitting on this wiki, accumulating more duplicates of no purposes. I'm saying this, because, while I can do the only thing a regular user could do and tag {{tlx|delete}} on those duplicate files, they are rarely seen as any priority and just continue to sit there. As explained above, I understand that they really aren't urgently needed to be taken care of; however at the same time, I also feel that I'm going through an extra step just to get those duplicates deleted, and usually waiting quite a period of time until actually seeing the result. It does not reflect what's listed on HPW:IMAGE: Obvious duplicate images will be speedy deleted. It is rarely speedy. I reemphasize, I don't think the Admins are at fault, because they really do have other more important stuff to do, but as a bystander, I feel rather frustrated for not being able to actually help out with this matter, if not only adding more workload for them. I also feel that, I'm unnecessarily populating Special:Recentchanges whenever I do tag the duplicates. Should I have the User Right, they really could just be gone without the whole tagging-then-waiting-to-see-who-finally-has-time-to-delete-them business.

It may be a ridiculous reason to request for the User Right, but honestly, even if it's unimportant, it's not going to fix itself until someone does it. I'd rather be that someone, so Admins can focus on more pressing matters. I'd also like to say, no, "my help" isn't needed per se, but I won't be offering said help had I not still been seeing many duplicates lying around. I'm one of the users, if not the only user, who took issue with duplicates and is vocal about it. I'd rather be able to take action instead of being a nagging complainer.

I'm writing all this because I want it to be clear that I didn't send this request on some whim; it has been on the back of my mind, but seeing my tagging edits populating RecentChanges again today really made me feel that I might as well just pitch it to get over with it. Thanks for reading this.

(Friendly reminder: Each to their own; please do not attack my idiosyncrasy of wanting to get rid off duplicates. Much appreciated.)

For: This nomination request had escaped me until now; has proved to be a trusted user and more than up to the task of being granted Rollback rights. More than Rollback, I'd be content (haha!) with giving her Content Moderator rights. --  Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 18:49, November 4, 2018 (UTC)

For: I quite agree with Seth on this one, she has proven herself worthy of Content Mod rights. Good luck! (Also funny joke Seth :)) Dave (talk) 02:37, November 8, 2018 (UTC)

For: Content Moderation is often a little-noticed, behind-the-scenes task. As has an interest, and a clearly proven aptitude for detail work, she most certainly should be given the chance to help out in this area! --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:03, November 9, 2018 (UTC)

For: I quite agree with Ironyak 1. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 13:10, November 9, 2018 (UTC)

Against: I've had very little contact with Sammm so went to read her Bio.
 * I have doubts about the maturity of anyone who feels this is appropriate material for someone being considered for a position of responsibility.
 * "though currently I'm simply a person who's SICK of seeing a bunch of people taking the piss out of the roles of an Admin"
 * I vote No. The Dark Marc Slytherincrest.jpg(talk)


 * Ok Marc, she may have different views from a  some of us, but there is no doubt she has a ton of experience. But after recent contact with her, and reading her bio, I have decided to withdraw my vote on the matter. Cheers, Dave (talk) 05:50, November 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Dave
 * I think perhaps your point about different views is especially important when we consider the position applied for. Being able to appreciate different points of view is crucial for anyone given the powers discussed. While other HP wikia leaders are ready to discuss options reasonably, you certainly won't find them complaining about members in their Bios.
 * You're absolutely right- we do have different views. The ability to respect those views and act appropriately afterwards is key.
 * NB- Thanks Ironyak1 for cleaning up my mess. My apologies for my dodgy phone edits 😆
 * The Dark Marc Slytherincrest.jpg(talk)


 * Hi there, The Dark Marc (unsure what to call you, or is it just Marc?), I hope it's alright to add the "against" in front of your comment, so it won't look like you are responding to Ironyak1's vote. That aside; I'm curious with what people are seeing on the right hand side of the top part of my user page, what's next to "# EDITS SINCE JOINING THIS WIKI / # DISCUSSION POSTS" on my profile: because I do not have a bio there? I know some users do, and they even have the option to "[show more]", but all I'm able to fill out are the following:


 * What's your name?
 * Where do you live?
 * When is your birthday?
 * What's your occupation?
 * What gender are you?
 * For the longest time, I answered the last question with simply my actual gender, but later found the perks of using it like a place to post status updates, so I did just that, and so far only did it once, which is the one on display. Unfortunately, or quite the opposite depending on how you view it, there's a word count limit to the answer. I am actually sick of a lot of things; had I started using the parameter to rant earlier, it'd probably be "I'm sick of seeing low quality images". While neither is pleasant, those are my feelings, and I'm not aware that it was inappropriate to express them.


 * Note that, the problematic statement is visible on all wikis I've ever edited on, which at the moment is at 73; it is "the act" I am sick of, and there's no personal attack, since I do see this happening on a lot of wikis. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to dump my exasperation, as long as it doesn't contain too fowl of a language use, which it doesn't.


 * I'm responding to you, not because I take issue with your way of thinking, but because I feel the need to point out, the statement you have doubts about, is not in my bio, and you have now made this false statement twice; I'd like you to actually go read my bio, before spreading false info and mislead other people. My bio is honestly very long and I'd be surprised anyone would actually read it let alone finish it. I can understand the statement in question being registered as unpleasant and potentially putting people off from reading my actual bio to get to know more about me, which I don't hold against and can live with.


 * That being said, perhaps this is where I'm immature because I don't really understand what "my feelings" has anything to do with why I applied for this particular User Right, or how it's going to affect my hypothetical performance of carrying out actions should the User Right be granted. I don't see how the fact I'm sick of a lot things (and can't get enough of just as much a lot of things; but yes, there's that word count limit,) is going to hinder me from deleting duplicated images, which was, after all, basically the only reason I'm requesting the User Right.


 * I am not here to be the nicest person, but I don't believe I'm being uncivilized; you are of course free to judge me to be "not mature enough" base on one sentence that happened to be my honest opinion, when there's more than 20 sections and subsections on my bio, containing various bulletpoints and paragraphs should anyone is actually interested in getting to know me. I suppose first impression really mattered and I've utterly failed. =P No hurt feelings, but would like this nonsense about "I wrote this in my bio" to stop. Yes, I wrote it, no, it is not in my bio.


 * P.S.: In case a miracle happens and someone actually does finish reading my entire User page, I'm still not claiming to be a likable person lmao. Though last I checked, being likable is not a criteria for deleting duplicated images, which I emphasize, is all I set out to do. I never want to be some "leader", so I hope "my questionable character" won't be brought to focus again to be used as a reason that "I'm not suitable". Have not applied be a leader, and don't want to be a leader, hence, I'm really seeing the comparison as irrelevant.
 * - S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:25, November 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * @Marc I agree. We all do have point of views (about people, grammar, etc). I may have a different opinion about, let's say, Seth Cooper then a person who was blocked by him. I personally think Seth is a terrific person (hard to not after everything he's done for me 😆), but the user may think they're block was unfair, or uneeded, therefore disliking Seth. I hope to see other applicants on here in the future.

 * This isn't a vote against, I'd just like to ask how it matters if the section you wrote your statement is called "bio" or not, it has absolutely no correlation with the conversation. Cheers,   CosmicChronos       Talk to me       Contribs    09:32, November 13, 2018 (UTC)

In the phone app the area the comment I referred to is called the 'Bio'. Your answer completely misses the point and yet illustrates mine perfectly. You're not just dealing with edits from inexperienced editors. You're dealing with people. As soon as that tag of 'Moderator'is attached to your name you take on a social position of power which many will take as representing the leadership of the wikia. Like it or not you need some social skill to deal with new editors or you're damaging the wikia and driving away nww editors. I don't believe you're ready, and your response only makes this more clear.

ArrestoMomentumBot
Hello all, so I've had a chat with a few users around the Wiki, and they seemed to think that having another bot could be useful so, hence, I am here today to make an application for my bot to be granted a Bot Flag. There are a number of tasks that I would like to carry out in collaboration with Ironyak1 (having chatted to him, of course), including mostly clean-ups to make our Wiki look as professional as it deserves to be. This bot uses both Pywikibot and AutoWikiBrowser (although only Pywikibot if it is necessary).

Currently, my bot is in perfect working order over on the LOTR Wiki, and my experience over there can hopefully be carried over here. Once again, (if granted the Bot Flag) I will be working alongside Ironyak1, and we will actively communicate over who is doing which project (so that our bots do not clash).

Thanks everyone for your time,

ArrestoMomentum &#124;  talk


 * Having spoken with ArrestoMomentum about various tasks from page formatting to category fixing to many other issues, there is plenty of work to justify having two bots doing clean up IMHO. It also helps to have another person with bot experience to bounce ideas off and figure out the best method to accomplish various tasks or special requests.

 * As per the wiki policies I don't have enough edits to take part in this voting but as a user I can make an opinion and make my voice heard by simply commenting. User harrypotterexpert101 also know as Dave is not the kind of admin that this wiki wants. He has recently adopted 2 wikis ( wiki 1 as of September 1, 2018) and ( wiki 2 as of October 23, 2018). As the wiki admin Seth Cooper says that admins are nothing more than janitors, he is right. Any user with rights is nothing more than a janitor. Even I am familiar with admin tools and bans doesn't mean I am born admin of HPW. Adminhood is something that is attained with trust and with proofs that decisions made by the to-be-admin will be unbiased and always in the best interest of the wiki. Other than this Dave has been falsely trying to win the votes by persuading his friend users to vote for him by messaging them on their talk pages and making posts on the discussion board. Moreover he is also using his recently adopted wiki "the Phoenix files wiki" as a zone to communicate with users to win votes ( link ). This is definitely not how I want to have an admin elected on this wiki. I am not saying that he cannot be an admin. At the end he has the best interest of the wiki at heart, but he isn't ready to take up the responsibility yet User:Reverb frost (talk)


 * Hello Reverb,
 * I am not persuading people to vote for me. I am simply asking if they support the idea of a new admin, and asking if they would like to vote of not. A user that voted for CosmicChronos offered to help me by offering me some advice. I contacted him in the first place to ask him if he thought I should be an admin, and to ask him what I needed to work on. He then approached me via the Phoenix Files Wiki to respond to the message (his phone was making it harder for him to do it via talk page). And me messaging people.
 * You can look throughout this pages history, and find multiple people clearly saying that they were there by the users request, and guess what? The vote went through! And when I messaged the people, I went for people who actually know the wiki and would like to have a day in the changes. As for my adoptions, please do not refer to them as a railroad to win votes. I spend hours everyday maintaining those wiki's, it's the dream job I always wanted. But I will gladly make time to be an administrator here at the Harry Potter Wiki. Dave (talk) 15:25, November 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * For. Dave shows the maturity, tenacity, experience and desire to make a great addition to the HP Wikia as an Admin. With the release of COG only hours away and having reviewed the increased traffic to the wikia during the last movie release, right now seems likes exactly the right time for this to happen.


 * The Dark Marc Slytherincrest.jpg(talk) The Dark Marc 22:19, November 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * If I was already against the nomination due to the Harrypotterexpert101's manifest inexperience (has only been around for a couple of months, a total of 63 article edits in this wiki at present and even globally just over 300; not a very firm grasp of admin tools; the administrative experience cited is, as already pointed out, virtually non-existant at best), Reverb frost's pointer just seems to reinforce my opposition.
 * Canvassing is discouraged, especially when done off-wiki and in a stealth manner in what is essentially a mixture of campaigning and votestacking (would you think it fair if I started asking people around to vote against this nomination? You see how this is nothing short of gaming the system). It reflects very poorly on all those involved. The tone of that discussion was also particularly partisan and, at one point, personally offensive to me -- but I'll leave it at that.
 * If the Admins "are highly resistant to the idea of the Discussion area having its own Admin" then perhaps it's due to the lack of a suitable candidate, or specific want. This crusade for pushing an admin specifically for Discussions (there is no such thing; that's what Discussions Mods are for and their tools on Discussions are virtually the same as those of Admins) is without good reason, as I have already pointed out elsewhere. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 02:43, November 14, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey Seth,


 * Thanks for your thoughts.


 * Just clearing up a few things regards the discussion off site.


 * The issue of being resistant to a discussions Admin is for the exact reasons you've mentioned. I was asked about what HPexpert should do to improve his chances of a successful application. My point was that I had no angle (including the Discussion Admin angle) that I thought was valid enough, and was making it clear I thought that was a poor platform to base his application on- as mentioned- I have NO angle which I believe effective for an Admin application.


 * "If your angle works, and current editors and Admins support you, I think you're the most qualified to do what has to be done to build the wikia in the best way


 * I also made my intent very clear - "As far as support- I am, and always have been, interested in building the discussions area by any means. I'm also keen to bridge the Editor/Discussions gap."


 * If a misunderstanding has produced results counter to that intent, then it is indeed a shame, and I'm sorry you felt any personal offence. There was none intended. I do regret using the term stanglehold. That was innapropriate. As a token of good will, I'd be willing to drop my 'Against' vote in Sammms application for Content Moderator.


 * As per Reverbs comments- it's very well known that he enjoys stirring trouble where I am personally involved and has been advised by BertH to avoid interactions in areas where we might clash. Reverb has made it clear on several occassions that he wishes to ignore that advice, and continues to cause trouble for me where possible. His toxic perspective, particularly on being overcommitted elsewhere are particularly hypocritical considering his own commitments elsewhere.


 * HPexperts explanation was accurate as to why the discussion occured where it did.


 * If you think I was 'gaming the system, I'd gladly wear a ban of any length you think appropriate.


 * My intention is- and always has been- to build the wikia -- The Dark Marc Slytherincrest.jpg(talk)


 * Hello again,
 * What Marc has said is accurate. My only focus here is to build a bridge separating the editing part and discussions part of the wikia. I also believe building the discussions into a more productive environment is something most people want. I am not trying to "game the system". My only intentions are to make this wiki a better place. As for Seth taking personal offense, I am sorry to hear that. Seth, you are a great bureaucrat, and I respect you. I never ment to insult you or cause you to feel upset.


 * And I agree with Marc, if you think we deserve a ban, well then send me to Azkaban.


 * I'm sorry you feel that way, Seth, but I really ment no harm. If there is something else you would like to message me about, please feel free to.
 * Cheers, Dave (talk) 04:58, November 14, 2018 (UTC)


 * @TheDarkMarc aren't you giving yourself a little too much importance than what you deserve? Not everything I do or say is about you. As for what conversation happened between me and FANDOM staff BertH is none of your business and I am not at the liberty to quote him but he never said anything like that for sure. If I loosely translate his words without quoting him it would be like this "try to avoid interaction with marc. that is the only advice." I am not going to stop contributing to wikis just because there is a user who disagrees with me. especially on ones where I have been for more than 3 years and I call it as my home wiki. There are admins with worst issues than us and they administer wikis like community central. Stop using this voting platform and other discussion boards to spread negative words about me. I haven't even met Dave yet and he already hates me along with a few other users because you have been spreading toxic about me. And playing the victim card and gaining sympathy? really? "I'd gladly wear a ban of any length you think appropriate." You very well know that the admins aren't going to do that. I and FANDOM staff have time and again informed you to take my presence on any wiki as good faith, the idea on which FANDOM is based and time and again you have ignored that and made me look the worst person ever. Just remember you cannot clap with a single hand. I should be the one accusing you of making wiki environments toxic for me not the other way around. And if you really want a heated argument with me then be a man and leave a message on my talk page instead of attacking me passively and spoiling my image on various wiki platforms. You talk about wiki's good faith at heart and yet time and again you have abused FANDOM staff and HPW admins called them morons and accused the system of being flawed and corrupt and what not. I have screenshots. It is the big hearted nature of these people that they ignore those things. And as for Dave being an admin, I think him to have really great potential just not enough experience. Even though he hates me, but I am giving an unbiased opinion. User:Reverb frost (talk)


 * Thst's ridiculous on so many levels. I'd like to see these supposed screen shots. I've never abused anyone or called anyone a Moron. Keep spreading your poison- i love sending screenshots to FANDOM. TDM.


 * @TheDarkMarc I can only interpret your "token of good will" as a lack of seriousness when casting your vote. You're either for or against Sammm鯊's nomination, that's neither here nor there, and you're not doing me any favours by voting either way.
 * That said, I urge everyone to stay on-topic. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 23:04, November 14, 2018 (UTC)

For: Ethan wanted me to put his vote here, so here it is. If you do not believe me, check the Phoenix Files Wiki OT Post. Dave (talk) 06:10, November 15, 2018 (UTC)

Oppose: Administrative experience on another wiki is great, but when applying for rights on any wiki the responsibility should be earned on the wiki in question, and that’s simply not the case here. Not to mention the cloak and dagger nonsense on the Phoenix Files Wiki... a poor indication of character. - 08:31, November 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * @Xanderan the cloak and dagger? If you read through all of my responses, you would know why the Phoenix Files Wiki was even brought up. The Dark Marc's phone has trouble responding on people's talk pages, so he approached me on a wiki I am an admin for. We have been talking there since. There was nothing secretive about what we did, for I sent links to multiple users on their talk pages, so anyone who knew how could find it. A poor indication of character, we're starting that. I am not claiming to be the nicest person in the world, and know how to solve everyone's problems, but I am trying to bridge the editor-discussions gap on this wiki. I have both edited and discussed with people, something none of the active admins have experience with. Between two of them, they have 4 discussion posts, compared to my 1200! I am not trying to convince you to change your vote, but I am giving you the facts. Dave (talk) 15:23, November 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * Regardless of whether the forum is public or private - you’ve been trying to manipulate the course of the vote and force the wiki to take you on as an admin, which is unacceptable. Your intentions may be good... but seem more like thinly veiled justification because you personally want a promotion and are just dressing it up as being... well, “For the Greater Good”. What’s your plan for “bridging the editor/commenter divide anyway? Why is this something you need admin rights to accomplish? The other admins may have few discussion posts but you have few article edits... why are you the right person to do this? At the end of the day a promotion to admin is a responsibility that has to be earned through consistent hard work and you haven’t done that. It’s that simple really. - 16:07, November 15, 2018 (UTC)

Against Sorry, but I had to get involved in this. Your admin experience, as previously stated by Seth Cooper, is virtually non-existent. You citing your experience is actually quite amusing because of that. Not only are the wikis tiny; the Phoenix files has 8 users that edited in 2018 and the Westing Game has 5 who edited in 2018, but you've only been an Admin for a few months and already seem to demonstrate corruption: As seen here. An award named after The Dark Marc "for his spectacular help and advice." He has zero edits or Discussion Posts there. That is a possible bribe in my opinion and calls the listed user and your own integrity into question.

You know when to hand out block and know how to not abuse them? What about this person? Zero contributions, but was banned for inserting false information. No corresponding deletion of a page or revert on the same day. A spite block due to disdain for his actions on another wiki? As for number three, see my previous comments in this post and imagine laughter.

You know how to catch vandalism and how to deal with it? Like this? Specifically the Amandahorses user. You couldn't decide on a proper punishment and went from fives years, to a hundred years, down to one year, and even seemingly threatened her.

As for line five.... Does that include associating with someone who invades users privacy? As seen here. Oh look, the user also confessed to previously hacking; a crime.

In summary, several questionable acts in your recent past, that, while on other wikis also bring your character and judgement into question. Threatening users? Users can CTRL+F the word Patient to see the comment. I wouldn't trust you ANY position of power, especially not as an Admin. Zane T 69 (talk) 17:48, November 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * The Amandahorses user was a sock puppet account used to get on the wiki. After careful research, I found the CameronRavenclaw account was the same person as the Amandahorses account. And the person you refer to as invading user privacy was doing his job. He is a Content Mod on my wiki, and a Discussions Moderator here. He was looking into the Amandahorses account and it's similarities with the CameronRavenclaw account (as the Dark Marc did). As for him hacking, I was not aware of him actually hacking, and was surprised when he told me in the first place. And I am afraid, my friend, you cannot tell me how to run my wiki's. And threatening users? The users were trying to get past the IP block. I was getting a good bit of auto blocks, and was tired of it, so I told her to leave. As seen, I told (her?) that she was upsetting me and told her to leave.  And the Dark Marc deserved that award, he may not have had edits, but it said "advice", not contribution. And changing the Amandahorses block, I decided that it was a little harsh, so I changed it up.


 * I except your decision, but what you are saying about me is ridiculous. It is a little offensive, and this request seems to be causing a problem (the last thing I want), so I would like an admin to close this.  Dave (talk) 01:20, November 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * Except for the fact that you had no real proof other than hearsay. The burden of proof is on you along with the integrity of your wikis. In my years of experience her claims of innocence were genuine, as were her arguments while trying to convince you. You are right that I can't tell you how to run your wiki, but I advise you to actually learn how to manage a wiki in the little leagues before wanting to play with the big boys here and destroy the wikis image. All it takes is one admin to ruin a wiki It said help and advice, and that award brings his judgement into account.


 * You cited experience, which you severely lack, and judgement, which is highly questionable. You tried winning support by citing qualities that you either completely lack or have too little of to be viable. I feel that you are too immature for adminship, but merely need a few years to grow before seriously being considered. If you want advice, hit me up on my talk page. I was nominated as a Bureaucrat on my home wiki and unanimously supported, which consisted of ten people. I think I can help you create some consistency on your wiki through advice.

Per 's request, I am closing this discussion. The tally appears to be 3 users for and 3 against so there isn't a clear majority per Voting Policy.

Given much of the recent commentary, I would like to gather ideas on how to work together to improve Discussions. Please feel free to leave a message on my Talk Page or reply to my Discussions post. Many thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 11:50, November 16, 2018 (UTC) }}

Bureaucrat
These users are able to grant and remove adminship, and grant and remove rollback privileges.

Ironyak1
Do to the recent inactivity of bureaucrats Seth Cooper, Cavalier One, and Starstuff I would like to nominate the administrator Ironyak1 for bureaucrat rights. If she chooses to accept this, I would like the vote to be opened. I feel we need an active bureaucrat on this wiki, and I feel Ironyak1 is a suitable candidate. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to owl me!
