GuildWiki:Requests for adminship/Warwick (3)

Warwick (talk &bull; contribs)
This is my Request for Adminship. I believe that I am a fair candidate for Adminship. I'm on the wiki most of the time, and I patrol frequently. I've been fighting vandals on the wiki for the past 5-6 months. Some of you may say that I have not been here for long enough; To be honest, the time that you've been here doesn't matter if you have experience- Which I do.

Some of you will oppose because you sheerly do not like me. To be perfectly honest, that is no reason to oppose it. You should vote as to how you think that they would do as an administrator. If you think that I would be likely to abuse my power, then oppose me; but if I become an Administrator I would not.

Others of you will say no because of the drama on Shadowcrest's Mafia game. That had nothing at ALL to do with me; It was my brother. He has decided that he no longer wishes to contribute to this wiki, and so will probably leave us alone. In any case, he is on a trip at the moment.

Some of you will say that if I share an account with my brother, he may come back and vandalise very badly, and since Entropy is quite inactive at the moment (At least I think...?), He would keep unbanning himself and banning everyone and deleting loads of articles; I have changed my password now. My internet server purges the cache whenever I log off, which I do when I'm off the computer. Besides, he said that he is done with this 'wiki, and anyway he would, to be honest, be far too cowardly to vandalise an article.

Several of you will say that we have enough administrators at the moment; You can say that, but you can never have enough admins. I think we only have two european administrators- Viper and RT. RT contributes to Wikipedia a lot, and a fair bit more then Gwiki, which puts him off some of the time. Viper, admittedly a great contributor, plays a lot of other games. I've seen a lot of activity from him since he was promoted, (Deleting spree much? =P), but he does play the other games, once again limiting his time on the wiki. I dont play any other games, and am on the wiki most of the time to patrol vs vandalism.

Others of you will say that there are more viable candidates at the moment; The only one I can see at the moment is Shadowcrest. Gimme's time on the wiki has been much reduced recently, since he plays another game or somthing like that (?), and Shadow's campaign hasn't exactly been successful so far =P.

And as a closure, Welcome to my RfA! (God, that speech made me sound like some sort of polition) -- Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 15:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Candidate, indicate acceptance of nomination here

As I've written this pretty long speech for it, I accept! -- Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 15:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * EDIT: By the way, I'd like to know where this apparent vandalism or wariness of vandalism is coming from. I've searched my contribs, and I cant find a single vandal contrib nor can I find a single threat of one. As far as I can see, every contrib I've added has been positive, except for a few breaches of GW:AGF. I admit, however, to the Polar Bear being me. I admit, I was sceptical to it. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 16:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I have thought long and hard about this, and have decided to support Warwick in her quest for adminship, futile though it may be at this time. Indeed, because of recent events, some of us were less inclined to believe anything Warwick may have said. However, I don't care. Warwick is Warwick, and Warwick is my friend, and even if there is no obnoxious brother, that won't change. So I place my signature image here with pride!

 * Wow.. Just, wow.. Thanks Felix. I think that there may have been some people who would have put their signature here, but they dont want to because they're sort of "Scared".. Maybe thats not the right word- Unwanting to put it there so they don't seem odd compared to everyone else. It takes courage to say what you think when everyone else is against it. Oh, wait *looks down* nope, definately no-one who would have voted support otherwise. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 16:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Support. Even if some users may or may no have personal disagreements with Warwick, either recent or long-standing, it doesn't discredit that Warwick is - and has been - a helpful editor. Both of them. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>  .cнаt^  19:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) You know what? Nevermind. I can't find a single reason to vote against you. Except Mafia, but that was a game and I'll GW:AGF that it actually wasn't you.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Because you share an account with your brother we have no way of knowing which contributions in the past were his or yours. As such we can't truly know what kind of contributions you alone have made. Plus, it only takes one time leaving yourself accidentally logged in for a trouble-making sibling to come in and make a mess. Also, I'm not sure we need more admins currently. Entropy just promoted several. Your contributions are appreciated as always but having good intension and reverting vandalism isn't the only thing to consider. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥  18:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm afraid I too will have to vote oppose because you share your account, I do not feel safe giving the admin tools to someone who isn't trusted by the community RT 18:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To the both of you: My cache clears every time I log out of AOL, and as such I have to re login.. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * +1,I doubt that He'd actually vandalise anything. He's too cowardly =P. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The thing is, you seem to change who you are so many times, I literally do not know who you are, who is editing from this account. R</B>T</B> 19:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I won't be doing that anymore, and you'll see that. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 19:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Then, if I see this, on a later RFA I may vote support R</B>T</B> 19:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Too immature for such a responsible and grownup task. <font color="Purple">Yikey <font color="Green">∞  18:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I dont think you read any of the above, and just skipped to voting oppose.. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I did. <font color="Purple">Yikey <font color="Green">∞  18:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Warwick is actually chronologically older than about half the curent sysops. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * mmhmm? If you actually had you'd have read that about 99% of the immatureness was that of my brother. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) As long as you share an account you cannot be trusted. Also, I'm still not certain if you actually have a brother or you are just excusing yourself. In either case, as long as you share an account you are responsible for his or your edits. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 18:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I DONT share an account with him anymore. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Prove it? <font color="Purple">Yikey <font color="Green">∞  18:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And im to do that... how? --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you aren't sharing anymore, that means that you can get a fresh chance. However, due to your former life, I can't say you're up for the task. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 18:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * So I get a fresh chance, but you dont trust me? Yeah, that makes sense.. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You went from untrustworthy to neutral, an improvement if you ask me. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 18:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The way you implied it was that you were giving me a fresh chance but not actually doing so >.< --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I misphrased. I meant that you have too little positive edits. Sorry for the misunderstanding. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 18:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I do? Gimme a sec, I want to check through my contribs. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Combine it with more time on the wiki. It's nice what you're doing but don't expect your suddenly capable of becoming an admin.
 * 1) I don't trust you with admin powers. As Entrea said - nothing to do with mafia game, but I honestly can't tell when you are telling the truth and when not. I don't know when it's you or your brother. I don't think you would be a good admin overall, but don't take it personally. --[[Image:Progr.jpg]] -- talkpage 12:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * So much for that neutral vote then? =P. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr.) 20:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Neutral for now. I have opinions leading both towards support and oppose, but I'll hold off for now. Cress Arvein(Talk) 20:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Seems desperate for this position. Things like This from previous RFAs don't encourage much, although you have changed. Similarly, you started spamming random talk pages to 'up the wiki activity' or something, and you flatly deny you're going for an RFA. Then you do. That makes this your.. 5th one? And having an untrustworthy admin doesn't seem too good either. I've put this in neutral rather than anywhere else, for the moment.

 * That = Brother. This is my first RfA. I was actually mainly doing it to spite him. If he was here, he'd be lhao.. =/ --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] <font face="vivaldi" size="4">Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 21:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, my sister posted the above. No, wait. I don't have a sister :o So most of your contributions therefore haven't been yours? O_o. [[Image:Jamster Sig.jpg|19px]] ---Jamster--- 21:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) First, let me say this has nothing to do with the Mafia game. It's a friggin game, that doesn't matter. It's mostly that looking at Editcount, you have very few (<700) mainspace contributions. There's just not a whole lot of  reason to support. Granted, I can't oppose, but for now, I can't really support.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae   <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  23:37, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's got a lot to do with time. By the time Warwick joined, many articles were already written and finished. The fact of the matter is, only the very old and mostly now inactive members have loads of mainspace contributions, because they wrote the articles. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That may be true. I only have as many as I do because of random wiki-ogre-ry. But all the same, if even that amount isn't all his contribs... I just can't support.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  23:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ass his contribs? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
