hrm...
Has anyone else thought these are kinda static as of late? --Shadowcrest 00:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but as of right now, I'm not really sure if we need any more admins...--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 00:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not suggesting we make anyone here an admin. If anyone was going to, it would be gimme and RT, perhaps viper. Are the rest just doomed to sit here all alone forever? --Shadowcrest 00:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * IDK, you'll have to ask lordbiro about that.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 00:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need any more admins atm. Perhaps someone active in a European Time Zone? I was the only admin on at about noon GMT when I was in England but there wasn't much action at that time. As far as this page, I'd say that we can put some on the back burner for approval when they are needed. But I think it would a good idea to have another bureaucrats besides Biro as he isn't very active over here. I'd recommend Pansola who is an old hand who is still rather active and qualified. &mdash;♥Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 03:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I want to nominate Jedi, actually, for Beuracraticy (Or w/e its spelt). Pan isnt active anymore, nor is Entropy or Gem. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 10:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Blah, I'm so inactive I didn't even realize Entropy became inactive!!! >_<""" I think I'd support Jedi for Bcrat. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 04:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

As of lately, it is becoming more and more clear, that we need to increase our admin pool. With only have 2 active admins, it is nearly impossible to get repeat vandalizer's dealt with in a timely fashion. We just had a user vandalize and create spam articles for nearly 2 hours now, with Jedi finally logging in to ban the IP, only to have the IP come back again less than 20 minutes later. -- Sk8  (T)  (C)  07:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, there are half a dozen extremely qualified candidates sitting around on the RfA page, where they've been since before I became a contributor. It's really ridiculous. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That is true, I think something that also needs to be taken into consideration for RFA's is at what times they are available. We need to make sure we have admins available at all times during the day.  It doesn't do anyone any good if we have say, 5 active admins, but none of them are around during this timeframe.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T)  (C)  07:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well part of that is time zones, and part of that is school. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Or work for some of the older members :P . Yes I know, which is why we should make sure there are admins available at all almost all hours of the day.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T)  (C)  08:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It just occurred to me that I'm probably the only graduate with no job. Oh, I'm such an appalling failure... T____T [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, don't feel bad. I went to college and still work in a grocery store.  -_- -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T)  (C)  08:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The time is now 3:53 AM. I have just finished watching some videos on YouTube, and now I'm checking my watchlist. Again. On all five wikis.
 * On a completely unrelated note, I don't have a job. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  08:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, high five. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, on a completely unrelated note, you don't appear to have a life either. :/ Congrats, you are perfect for the job :P -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T)  (C)  08:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * GW:NPA! Obviously the three of us keep very unusual hours, given that Isk8 and I are US Central time, and Jio is evidently Eastern. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 09:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I work graveyard shift, so typically, I get home and get on the wiki when everyone over in Euro is getting home from school. Was just so lucky to be off tonight to have my user page vanadalized for undoing vandalism -_- -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T)  (C)  09:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Lately I've been staying up all night and sleeping from about noon until dinnertime, after which I go to class, come home around 10:00, do whatever. Typically my hours are at least a little more normal- wake up around noon, go to sleep in the early morning. 09:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Generally, I'm up late, as you can tell; no particular reason for it, though. I do love getting up early, but more often then not, I'm going to bed as the sun comes up. Mostly because I'm jobless, don't have school, and have no real reason to get up at any particular time. So yes, I'm a perfectly adequate candidate for any job that requires free time. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  09:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey
Should we add a link to Special:Editcount to future RFA's since that's one of the things people often consider when voting?Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  23:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't hurt, I don't think. If you can figure out how to do it, I'd say go ahead. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 23:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I just looked at the template and figured out somebody did it already... stupid me.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea Sumatae  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  23:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Minimum edit count?

 * I'm thinking that possibly we should have an editcount minimum (say 50-100 edits minimum to vote), because of sockpuppetry. Somone could make several socks to vote support, which hasn't happened yet. And also, somone who doesn't like the person could make a sock and vote oppose multiple times. Thats what I think happened on my RfA with the 1-edit person (but I'm not saying its true, just giving my opinion), and I think that we should do somthing to prevent that. And if that person was an IP who'd made an account to vote, we should have somthing saying that IPs are allowed to vote. &mdash;<font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">♥May♥ <font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">Wick♥ 17:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yet, that idea doesn't fit with GW:YAV. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 17:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What I'm saying is we're only letting people who actually know what they're talking about vote in this sort of thing. GW:YAV shouldn't really IMO be used as a policy, more of a Guideline. &mdash;<font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">♥May♥ <font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">Wick♥ 17:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it just me, or can't you agree with anyone who opposes your opinions? --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 17:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its just you. &mdash;<font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">♥May♥ <font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">Wick♥ 17:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ugh, way to confirm my statement. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 17:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I absolutely oppose your idea, to be honest. This wiki supports the entire guild wars community, and anyone who has used this site even once should be able to take part in the important decisions. Furthermore, don't forget that this isn't an election; A support from, say, Jedi or Giga would mean a lot more to the one making the decision (ie Entropy) than 30 opposes from 143.56.246.1xx. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 17:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This site isn't used much by the community as a whole; Its more just the more veteran users nowdays. Org, I'm not opposing everything you're saying, you're opposing everything I am. &mdash;<font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">♥May♥ <font face="vivaldi" color="purple" size="4">Wick♥ 17:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
