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)

Support

 * 1) (your vote here)

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]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Too immature for such a responsible and grownup task. Yikey ∞  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]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 18:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I did. Yikey ∞  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]] 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]] 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.

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)
