GuildWiki talk:Requests for adminship/Warwick (6)


 * I mostly agree with what she wrote as her rationale. I trust her to not abuse admin powers if given nowadays. However, I feel I am biased, thus cast my vote on the Neutral side. Besides, too many > too few. Perhaps keep in the back of your head for when the need for a new admin is needed. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  16:04, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we are doing just fine for admins right now. Nevertheless I also agree that Warwick has mostly settled down by now. So if there was a sudden need for a new admin, maybe I'd start looking here...Warwick's biggest argument in her favor is longevity and experience of various forms. I would say the biggest thing against would be that this is the 6th RfA, so Warwick has a rocky history... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:44, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Plus, now if I'm a terrible admin, Entropy/Auron/Jedi can just demote me outright Simply saying: "If I screw up it can be fixed anyway" isn't exactly a good argument. You'll have to do better than that. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 17:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Blurb
The nomination blurb seems to be about "Why it's ok for Warwick to be an admin", as opposed to "Why Warwick should be promoted to be an admin"... -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 18:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

"I see quite a few things that could do with deleting that other people (Mainly Viper tbh) don't get to deleting for about 20-40 mins or so" are those stuff that needs to be immediately deleted? o_O -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 18:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably not. I did state that I wasn't sure if it was a reason. &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "You can never have too many admins" - I partially agree, in the sense that if at one point we needed 40 admins to maintain order and so we got a total of 40, and later things calmed down so we only need 10, we don't need to find 30 to demote, we can keep all 40. On the other hand, my inclination is to not promote ppl to adminship just because it's ok.  If we do that, then in the long run a new user who comes here will see that this is a wiki consisting only of trouble makers vs sysops, no regular users; and I think that would be a bad long-term image to portray.   -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 19:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Ishmael's Addition
I'm not certain about the new format, so I dunno if the "Qualities" count as peoples votes, but anyway;
 * Tendency to make quick decisions without community discussion leading to brash actions that are widely opposed by the community.
 * I don't feel that I do that any more, I've outgrown it. It's been like, 5 months since I last did somthing like that. I think. So it's not really a tendancy, is it? &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 19:53, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That's why I put it as a sub-item under "Rocky history". &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

History of unilateral actions
Yes, I'm bringing this up again, but it's really the only argument I have against Warwick. Most of Warwick's activity between when I really got involved with the wiki in March and when her activity dropped off a month or so ago could easily be summarized by "Warwick decides something needs to be done, edits/creates 100(+) pages, community objects, wikidrama and delete/revert-fests ensue." Her activity over the past couple months has been too low for me to get a good characterization of her current wiki-personality, so I can't really say whether she has improved her attitude/mentality about this or not. While she hasn't undertaken any unilateral action during that time, she also hasn't participated in much community discussion. (Please point out any discussions where she did participate, I don't watch everything that happens around here (just most of it) and I have no clue what happens on other wikis.) It would be great if her attitude really has changed, I just can't make a judgment either way on that right now. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
