GuildWiki:Requests for adminship/FireFox

FireFox (talk &bull; contribs)
I've been around the wiki for quite some time now (over a year in fact ^.^), made some friends, had some arguments, and done ALOT of uploading *rolls eyes*. All in all, I love the wiki and find myself visiting daily (at work even) to contribute and with recent events we can only assume that vandalism will increase. As you hopefully know I am NOT power hungry (yes indeed that sounded paranoid) and from looking at Obliviowiki you can tell that I will not blow anything up -.-. Although I feel quite awkward nominating myself I feel that I would be a great help with maintaining the wiki. --FireFox  19:26, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Support

 * 1) Favored. Friend of mine, competent and intelligent person. I think he'd make a great admin. Also, he tends to have patience with people, doesn't go revert their pages right away, and doesn't drag out pointless arguments just because he wants to be right about certain builds. Also has cake.

Oppose

 * 1) Overall, though he seems good at first, I think this would not be a good decision. On a completely unrelated note, this is the first page to be graced with my new siggy. &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 19:45, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * 2) Though he is active, he is not nearly as active as an admin must be. His comments about his own nomination have a "Why not?" attitude, and do not show the confidence one in such a position would need to show.--TheDrifter 20:04, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * 3) You're an excellent contributor; don't get me wrong, but I just don't think you are deserving/understand the full responsibility of an administrator position on this wiki. Please attempt at getting more involved and giving the MAJORITY of the users a chance to know you. Also not sure nominating yourself was a good idea. Best to wait for someone else to. The fact that you haven't been nominated yet should have gave you a fair idea of what the consensus would be as to your appointment. — Jyro X [[Image:Darkgrin.jpg]] 20:34, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Neutral

 * 1) Nominating yourself wasn't the idea, but that's not relevant. What is relevant that I haven't really noticed FireFox almost anywhere in the wiki and scrolling through his contributions doesn't give me any reason to believe that he would need the admin tools for anything. However, I didn't use too much time researching so It's a neutral vote for the moment. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 19:58, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * I gave much thought into deciding to nominate myself, and I understand that it does sound very conceited, my major concern is the wiki and I apologize to any other message I may have sent because the wiki means alot to me. On the topic of recent contributions I would like to say that I have just recently began playing the game again and this has reduced my ability to effectively provide accurate information for the wiki, now that I am beginning to actively play the game again I should soon be able to contribute on a more regular level again --FireFox [[Image:firefoxav.gif]] 20:08, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * I'm not too conserned by the amount of edits but by what the edits are. Being active in the background stuff like policies and such is usually a good thing for someone wanting to be an admin. Someone who mostly provides the wiki with information from the game doesn't really need the admin tools. I would like to see you present us with reasons why you would need the tools and why they should be given to you specifically. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 20:16, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * Well nobody really need the tool Gem. One admin is theoricly enough.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  20:19, 7 February 2007 (CST)
 * One admin might theoretically be enough, but that one admin would get pretty swamped with admin questions, page delete requests, and user ban requests. Also, one admin probably wouldn't be able to catch all the things that are going on, especially if that one admin doesn't pay as much attention to some things (say a mainly PvEer who misses what goes on in the PvP sections). --Theonemephisto 20:35, 7 February 2007 (CST)
