Isk8 (talk &bull; contribs &bull; Edit Count)
I would like to nominate Isk8 for adminship, we always need more admins, and I think Isk8 is ready for this task. RT | Talk  10:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
 * I am actually quite shocked that I was nominated. Ever since I joined this online community mid last year, I tried my best to abide by all the communities rules, help out as much as possible, and help revert vandalism.  I've also been trying to improve my wiki skills as much as possible, and in the time I've been here, I think I've accomplished all this.  It has always been one of my aspirations since I've been here, to become an admin, and not by nominating myself.  Now that I find myself nominated, I'm not quite sure what to make of it.  I will reluctantly accept the nomination.  I am not sure if I am ready for the responsibility, if I were accepted, but I am surely willing to give it everything I have. And though my time on the wiki has been shorter than usual the past couple weeks due to work, I will be back to my normal activity next week. I'll leave it at this, to avoid an excessively long paragraph. (And thanks to RT for the nomination, I appreciate it.) &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Isk8 (contribs).

Isk8 was made a sysop on 5-16-08.

Support

 * 1) He's reliable and a good editor, he'd be a good addition to the admin team. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 11:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) ^ ^ what he said--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (Talk /Contribs ) 14:41, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) Wow, for once a candidate that didn't nominate himselves, isn't dealing with puberty and proved himself a worthy contributor. -- [[Image:merty_sign.gif]]-- ( talk )
 * Ouch! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I have known Isk8 for a while now, and I consider him trustworthy and reliable. He's good-natured, even-tempered, and generally amicable. He also is rare among us in that he has a real-life job, which shows something about his ability to deal with responsibility and pressure. Isk8 would make an excellent sysop.

Oppose

 * 1) At one point I would've jumped all over this guy in support, he was once a fantastic contributor, but as of late he's been comparatively quiet. Over the course of the last few months I feel like I never ever see any contributions from him that benefit the mainspace. This isn't an insult, by any means. If his activity picks up to what it once was he'd totally be worth the adminship. --Powersurge360 18:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As was already stated, I have been really busy with work lately, as well as being sent out for support help to another store. That is the reason for my recent absence.  I can assure you that my activity on the wiki is going to be back.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] Sk8  (T / C)  15:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm voting on what is available to me in the present, and with present contributions and such, it's still an oppose. As I understand, Entropy only looks at these as opinions, not as democratic votes and will take that into consideration, as such, this will either stay an "Oppose" vote until the contributions go up, or it'll be archived as such and won't matter. Best of luck with adminship though, and again, I don't mean any disrespect. --Powersurge360 03:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much yeah. I like to hear concerns from everyone since even a benign or unimportant concern can be a warning for future problems. (not talking about you Isk8 specifically) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Neutraling for now.. I'll be watching him.. >_>. And I've seen recently that he hasn't had very much activity (as far as i've seen; at least). Though that might be because somthing like his computer is broken? I don't know; but neutraling for now. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 11:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * From Isk8's talkpage: "Ok yall... I'm heading out in about 15. I'll be on most likely a little bit throughout the next week, but don't count on much.". I think that explains why he isnt as active right now--Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  11:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Don't know candidate well enough atm, will do some research and form a more concrete opinion. But basically, not the first choice of candidate that came to mind for me. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Need more knowledge, too.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]<strong style="color: black;">reanor 18:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) hmmm, idk him that well :D -- Shadowphoenix  05:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * TBH, I dont think we need more admins. If we get to have too many, we'll start stepping on each others' toes. I don't really feel strongly about Isk8's admin abilities but I should point out that he still hasn't figured out how to sign his name so that doesn't bode well for him (lol) &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 07:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Bah, I hadn't been on the wiki for like a week, and was fairly tired at the time :P
 * And to be honest, I don't think we need more admins at the moment either. I have no issue with sitting on the sidelines until there may be room. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="maroon">Sk8  (T / C)  14:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * "Until there may be room"? You mean when one of the current admins dies? or has an "accident"? :P --[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 14:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, who knows really. Just look at MP.  He was super active, then just fell off the face of the earth and became an inactive admin.  I am more or less just glad to be nominated.  Shows that I'm doing something right around here ;D. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]] <font face="comic sans ms" color="maroon">Sk8  (T / C)  14:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * again, tbh, I think there are many qualified editors around here who would make good administrators. However, since we don't want everyone to be an admin (stepping on each others toes. one person warns while another person blocks causing conflicts and such) so I tend to keep an eye out for someone who can perform an extra special job. Especially people who are good with licensing, wiki code, javacode, etc. &mdash;<font color=#ff44aa>♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 15:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I mostly agree with Jedi in that the admin team seems nice and full for now, and yeah there are many qualified candidates etc. However, I'll never withhold adminship if "too many admins" is the only concern, since I believe that there really can't ever be too many - we are too small a community for that to be a serious issue. Ie. not enough competing interests. Isk8 also brings up a good point with Marco as an example; while I don't try to use RfA's to hunt for "replacements", it is true that it's better to find yourself with surplus than shortage when you suddenly have an admin leave. And an active one at that. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
