GuildWiki:Requests for adminship/Gimmethegepgun

Gimmethegepgun (talk &bull; contribs)
I spend the majority of my time on GuildWiki watching Special:Recentchanges, and am often the first to respond to vandals and repair the damage they cause. During the long stretches of the day that administrators are on, while I am, the vandalism tends to increase. Adminship would allow me to span this gap and respond much more quickly in order to prevent violators from continuing. --Gimmethegepgun 03:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

Being the one that nominated me, I accept :P --Gimmethegepgun 03:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Unless Adminship turns people evil, this guy is one of the ones who usually fixes the spam as best a non-admin can. Definate support [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae  03:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Great candidate, surprised he isn't already. Lord Belar 04:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) This is obviously a biased vote on my part, but speaking as objectively as I can, Gimmethegepgun is both extremely vigilant and a dedicated, experienced fighter of vandals who is often in the vanguard of users to fix such violations early and fast. I cannot deny how useful this is, in making my own duties easier and also in (as noted) "plugging the time gap". However, just so my support doesn't stem from a single facet of this user, I must also say that he has been around for a good amount of time and has been through enough GWiki history to be knowledgeable of how things work around here. Checking his contributions, he knows most of the policies and enforces them constantly, as well as S&F and a variety of other tasks. All in all I believe he is a qualified candidate that would perform well in office. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Definately.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 20:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Definately. He helped me out on my first day in wiki. Ofc, i pickeed up the wikicode quite quickly [quick leearning ftw], i aspire to ask to beecome an admin onee day, but i dont think I'd be ready, which is why i havn't filed a request. but I think that Gimmethegepgun deserves it ^_^ Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 20:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * lol, that time was funny. I forgot about the Editing guide and ended up spending over 10 minutes typing pretty much the entire links section onto his page :/ --Gimmethegepgun 20:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * hehe, i keep that there for quick reference.. i also copy+paste it onto "Wikinewb"'s userpages. =P Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 20:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Of course. Cress Arvein 21:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Support, great member, let him join the exclucive club! RT | Talk 21:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * looks like you'll be an admin soon, gep! unless you suddenly get like 200 votes of no, or the beu's decide they hate you. =D Warwick (Talk) (Contr.) 21:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) although I don't agree that using effective builds is noobish, pansola is right and I shouldn't vote according to that. sorry for my immaturity. would maek gud admin. &mdash; Teh Uber Pwnzer 01:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Same reason I think marco should be admin, nuf said. Flechette 23:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 03:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) 100% support. &mdash;Vendetta411 17:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Reconsidering my opinion :) [[Image:ShadyGuy.jpg]] 16:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Because hes smexxxy and this ain't related to it but heres the stuff that is related your smexxxier alright heres the real related stuff because I'm pretty sure you monitor Recent Changes a lot. --Hellbringer (T/C) 02:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) With those amounts of contributions seems like a welcome addition to the very small team of active sysops. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 23:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) He gets a frown for marking images for update just because they had armor in them (<3). And a second frown for nominating himself (idk I feel like if a user has what it takes, someone else will see it and make a nomination) BUT! Gimmethegepgun is one of those users who's opinion I tend to count a little more than others because he has omnipresence. He acts like he knows what he's doing and he usually does. He has been around a long time and definitely knows his way around. He's one of those guys that its almost surprising that he's not already an admin. Strong support.&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 00:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not giving him a frown for tagging the images that have armor in them. I think the weapon pictures should be as high-quality as possible, since they're not as hard to get a picture of as, say, a monster or boss.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 00:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Omnipresent? Never heard that one before --Gimmethegepgun 00:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) He supports use of creative but less effective builds. --76.2.20.255 04:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * How does the build he supports (or does not support) have anything to do with the roles and responsibilities of adminship??? -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's Teh Uber Pwnzer's IP address, used as an (extremely immature) retort to my discussion with him here. I'd strike out the vote seeing how it has nothing at all to do with adminship, but seeing as its my nomination someone else should do it --Gimmethegepgun 19:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter. Won't get taken into account when the decisions made anyway. Lord of all tyria 20:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it's still very immature --Gimmethegepgun 20:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Bcrats make decisions, none of this really matters. &mdash; Teh Uber Pwnzer 01:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Not seeing you very often at guildwiki. [[Image:ShadyGuy.jpg]] 18:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Could just be different time zones, I see him quite often.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 20:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * He's on a lot, and usually at the same time the vandals are. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png]]  Entrea Sumatae 23:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Gimmethegepgun is on very very often. How do I know? Because he spams my talkpage... >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Quite a bit in fact :P Also, if you'll look at the RC, you'll notice that I've caused it to explode :) --Gimmethegepgun 23:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Only seen you adding some information to skills.. not a very good reason for becoming an admin.. [[Image:ShadyGuy.jpg]] 11:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just now. Usually I'm just patrolling RC for talk pages and for malignant edits. Been a while since I had a nice vandal war, but I've certainly had my share of them --Gimmethegepgun 15:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * People who saw you do stuff saw you, people who didn't see you didn't. Don't worry too much about it, it's a natural consequence of different schedules. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Never seen him before. Eloc 02:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm almost certain it's because of time-zones. Gimme is on constantly, and has always been faithful to the community.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 02:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Imo it's because Eloc spends all his time on GWW :P [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Eloc...Jcg? I faintly remember talking to you once in-game, but that must've been a while ago.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 02:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm on guildwiki nearly all of the time I'm at home --Gimmethegepgun 03:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
