The BIONICLE Wiki:Requests for Adminship

This is a place for users to request to be a Sysop, Rollbacker or Bureaucrat. No bureaucrats are needed.

If you or someone you nominate is running for adminship, only admins are allowed to vote at first. If the majority of admins agree on the user becoming an admin, then the community votes.

When you make a request, be sure to include a For section, an Against section, and a Comments section.

= Requests for Rollback Rights =

For

 * 1) No reason against, and (Like M1 said) he's active at the moment. And we certainly would need more help to fight vandalism. Mata Nui (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 06:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I see no reason not to. OsmiuMap - You have no new messages. 21:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Osmiu's right.... --Pluto2 14:38, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Comments

 * Well, at least he's active at the moment, unlike a lot of our curent rollbacks.

For

 * 1) He's proven to be a good and responsible user here, and I'd call him a trusted member here. True, he will be quite busy on BIONICLE Sets and Creations Wiki, but he looks by now and then. And, rollback isn't that much, it's just a way to destroy vandalism faster. Mata Nui (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 14:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't think I'll vote, at least not yet. M</Font>ata</Font> N</Font>ui</Font> (BP Admin) 15:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah same. Your a good friend of mine but I'm just not sure your ready yet.
 * I think only admins can vote first, right? And if they want, then they can let the users vote. Or if the admins decide it themselves they wont open the voting--Superbrutaka</Font>07</Font>
 * That would be if you are running for adminship. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 00:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I did set this up right.
 * Wait, you're running for sysop? I take back my vote. I'd suggest you start with rollback. And, you've just started a wiki! The job as a siteleader will get much busier when that wiki get bigger. Sure, I can handle it right now, but it isn't very much to handle on BSCW for me right now. I hope you understand.

 * Nothing against you but I believe you should wait a few Months. <font color="Green" style="background:Silver">Cheers Kazitan -----<font color="Purple" style="background:Silver"> Talk
 * I put back to rollback Mata Nui cos you are the expert
 * I'm not an expert, just experienced. :P M</Font>ata</Font> N</Font>ui</Font> (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 19:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

= Requests for Sysop Rights =

For

 * 1) I personally think i will be a good sysop. --Pluto2 14:37, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Against

 * 1) Sorry mate but I think you need a rollback rank first before Sysop.
 * 2) Note: rollback before sysop isn't required, but... you still have only 100 edits. Also, I notice a huge gap between the editing dates. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 02:57, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Sorry Man Nothing Against you but I believe you should wait. Become a little more experienced first. <font color="Green" style="background:Silver">Cheers Kazitan -----<font color="Purple" style="background:Silver"> Talk
 * 4) Sorry, but we have some things to clear up. <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  19:18, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm sorry too, Pluto2. But you haven't edited a lot, as MG has pointed out. Some of your edits were not very good quality, either. Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 20:38, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

I feel that i should be an admin, because I know a lot about Bionicle, and i think i can change this wiki for the better. I also have some experiance as a sysop, because i am a sysop on some other wikis, and i am a bureaucrat on all of those. --Pluto2 22:24, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

First of all, knowning a lot about bionicle doesn't make you sysop. Admins don't know any more about bionicle than normal users, they're just the leaders. Secondly, which wikis are they?

here and here. --Pluto2 15:28, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

One of them has been inactive for more than 30 days and I can't even find your account on the other one. Sorry mate but I don't think you're anyway near the sysop activity requirement level nad I've been hearing some stories about you abusing multiple accounts...


 * I am Gelu on the latter. BTW, sometimes the answers to your questions are on my user page. --Pluto2 16:29, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Technically, admins have no authority. They are simply users given rights that others don't have. These rights can cause major trouble in the wrong hands so are generally given to users who are trusted. (At least according to Wikipedia, the first MediaWiki wiki) However, for some reason, we are given authority on this wiki. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:17, September 27, 2009 (UTC) EDIT: @ PL: The last sentence makes no sense. The  MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:18, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Some would argue that people need to have some authority to make the rules and make sure everyone has a good time here. Admins would be the first choice to be in the leadership class. Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 21:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * You still didn't correct the last sentence you wrote in the Against section. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:51, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

For

 * 1) We need a replacement for Daiku, and you've proven worthy long ago. Wasn't you even bureaucrat? <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">M</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ata</Font> <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">N</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ui</Font> (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 17:39, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah... Panaka's been a trusted member of this community for ages and he is experienced and, I trust, knows what he's doing.
 * 3) ??? I am lost... <font color="Green" style="background:Silver">Cheers Kazitan -----<font color="Purple" style="background:Silver"> Talk
 * 4) The irony is overwhelming. But whatever. Good admin first time around. BTW: we are now on MW 1.15. (PL should know exactly why I said this) The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:04, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I agree. Even though i still haven't gotten used to this wiki, i still vote for you. Pluto2 21:20, September 24, 2009 (UTC)Pluto2

Just thought I'd try nominating myself, I noticed the wiki was short an admin or two, and if you'll have me back, I won't try moving the wiki again. lol :P Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 16:46, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * @Mata Nui: I was the B-crat, yup. Daiku stripped it when I left several months back. Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 19:50, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * And now he has passed it over to me... And who knows? Maybe someday I'll pass it over to you, M1, MG or Kazi22, depending on who's active at the time... But let's hope that's not in the near future. <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">M</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ata</Font> <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">N</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ui</Font> (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 20:06, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Three votes for! Only MG left to vote. So, the majority of the admins agree. Should we let the communuty vote now? <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">M</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ata</Font> <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">N</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ui</Font> (The BIONICLE Wiki Bureaucrat) 17:40, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say so, yes. LOL :P 66.143.33.242 15:41, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Since MG hasn't been seen in a while... Vote open for all of the community, except banned members, of course. <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  17:08, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello? Anyone there? <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  17:16, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

I am. :P Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 00:20, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * So? When does the voting end if no one seem to vote? *ignores the fact that I'm quite much in charge* <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  14:42, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Well since 3 out of 5 admins voted I'd say it can end around... now.
 * * cough*"If the majority of admins agree on the user becoming an admin, then the community votes."*cough* The voting is open for the community, but no one seems to have noticed it... Maybe we should put a notice on the Main Page? <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  14:52, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Really? If its a request for sysop then I thought only other sysops could vote but if you say so... I wouldn't put it on the main page because I never check there and not everyone will but its bound to get noticed in the sitenote. I'll do that now.
 * Well, this is the whole quote:"If you or someone you nominate is running for adminship, only admins are allowed to vote at first. If the majority of admins agree on the user becoming an admin, then the community votes." It's on the top of this page... <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  15:13, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

??? Hasn't the majority of admins already voted? Even if the rest say no then I think Panaka's still won.
 * I won it in the past before. ;)
 * That's what Mata Nui is saying, M1, the admins have voted, and we're trying to get the community to vote, but no one is voting. Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 17:01, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  17:02, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

? So we let the community vote anyway?
 * Well, that's what the text says on the top of the page... Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 01:18, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Right... There has been quite long, and so far 5 for and none against. Should we say voting closed and PL's an admin? <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  13:11, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say since no one objects yet, 0 out of 5 seems like a good win to me. lol Panaka  lego  Contribs - Edits 00:22, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Then I'll only wait for another admin to agree. <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  08:19, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 18:26, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, so... I go ahead and promote PL? <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  19:32, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

(UNDENT) 5 to zero and no votes have been made in a while. Counts as a winner to me. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:52, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I'll take that as a "Just go ahead and do it". Correct? <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  20:16, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 02:23, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
