GuildWiki talk:Requests for adminship/Blastedt

I could swear I've seen this somewhere before...which user was it? Anyways - you're not really supposed to nominate yourself... (T/C) 15:37, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You are allowed to nominate yourself. --Fyren 15:45, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, but. See User:FireFox's old nomination, which is almost identical to this nomination. Requests_for_adminship/FireFox [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:50, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * o.o I don't see the similarity really, except for self nomination, and vandalism. &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 15:52, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Well given that you appear to have only put vandalism as a reason to be an admin, I'd say its pretty similar. Lord of all tyria 15:55, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

"I am active on the wiki very much, and alot of the time I see a vandal and there's nobody to help.  For example, the recent vandalism of th Great Temple of Balthazar page, where someone put insulting text, which was very unneutral.  The text was reverted several times before he stopped.  I don't know if he was banned. I feel that I would help fill in times without an admin to help handle the vandals and other important things.  I know I have made mistakes before, and I freely admit that.  I hope to make up for those by forwarding the wiki as it declines due to the official wiki.  Maybe I can help slow that decline. &mdash;Blastedt 15:26, 28 June 2007 (CDT)"

"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)"

You both point out activity/constant Wiki; you both talk about vandalism; and you both express love for the Wiki and a desire to help maintain/improve it. The only significant difference is for Blastedt speaking of the official wiki (which didn't exist before, and is not an issue now anyways) and specificaully enumerating the "When an admin is not around..." thing. FireFox says the same, but not explicitly. So it looks pretty similar to me. (T/C) 15:59, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

The main article is not a talk page. Do not reply to peoples' votes there. --Fyren 13:44, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Response to ShadyGuy's vote.

 * I assure you, I can be serious when needed. If a complete stranger looked at just the nom, would he be able to tell I have ADHD? I try my very best at the wikis to help improve. Sometimes my temper gets out of hand, and that's a mistake, I know. The few bans I've received let me return to my seriousness of before and forget the differences. &mdash;[[Image:BlastThatT.jpg]]Blastedt 11:48, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
