Sonic News Network:Requests For Adminship
From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki
Requests for adminship (RfA) is the process by which this wiki's community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional features, most notably the ability to delete pages and to block users. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please become familiar with the Administrators' how-to guide before submitting your request. This process is modeled around Wikipedia's RfA process, and more information can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.

[edit] Nominating
To submit a nomination, please create a section below the "Current nominations for adminship" line listing the nominee's username as a piped link to his/her userpage. Below that, please include a statement about why you are nominating this person and why you think they will be a good admin. The nominee should then accept (or reject) the nomination, and include a statement about why (s)he wants to become an admin, why (s)he thinks (s)he is a good candidate, and what (s)he plans to do with administrator rights. All parties must sign sign and date their statements.

Please sign and date your statement.
Editorial Note: Adminship is NOT taken lightly. You may actually want to spend some time on your request. A couple sentences is hardly sufficient to show that you won't cause more problems than you solve with admin tools, let alone that you think that there is a good reason why more admins are necessary and that you would be a good candidate for a new admin, that you're willing to put time and effort into this wiki, and that you know how to use admin powers properly and would do so.
[edit] Process
Users may list questions for the candidate (which it would probaby be good to answer) in the Questions section and/or comment in support of or opposition to the request for adminship in the Discussion section. In the Discussion section, please preceed your post with Oppose, Neutral, or Support (you may modify those with Strong or Weak.) Please not that this is not a majority vote, it is an attempt to assess the community's consensus regarding the candidate. Moreover, to become an admin, the candidate should have the support of most of the community, so if the vote is split, the candidate will probably not be given adminship. After a reasonable amount of time, a bureaucrat (a user who has even more rights than an administrator, and can give other users admin rights) will read through your request, determine the community's consensus about whether you should be made an admin, and close the discussion.
[edit] Current Nominations For Adminship
Here are the users who are currently nominated for sysop, rollback, or other privileges. After the answer has been given, please remove their section. Only users with priveliges may cast a vote on giving another user rights. Majority rules. Please remember to give a reason as to why you think a user does, or doesn't deserve to be an admin. Please place Yes, or No before your initial comment, and user :'s, and *'s to reply to another users comment. Non-admins may place their opinion, but their vote will be ignored.
[edit] Sonictoast (Rollback)
Well, I'd like to nominate Sonictoast for adminship. He's contributed alot to this wiki, mostly in much needed pictures. While I may not know him, I know that he hasn't caused trouble in his time here, and he's done alot. Considering he does almost entirely pictures, I feel that sysop may not be quite right, as he would rarely use it in my opinion. However, I believe in many sayings, and one of those would be, "Give credit where credit is due".--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 15:50, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

LB, will you stop it with all the flash and junk. It gets really annoying.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 17:34, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

- Neutral - Sonictoast is a great user, but as you said he's unlikely to use the privileges. And as these privileges are not status upgrades or promotions, I don't see the point. If you want to give him credit, give him a barnstar. (First, make a barnstar, then give it to him.) -- Supermorff 17:54, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

- I'm pretty sure you can't do that with rollback. You'd need sysop privileges. And, once again, no, they are not a reward in any sense. If a person has, as you put it, slogged their stars off, then they probably do a good job and thus should get privileges so they can do a better job. But it's not a given. -- Supermorff 18:44, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
Well, that's true.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 18:51, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Hey Gang, just noticed you're all talking about me. Honestly, I am honored to be considered. Truthfully, yes I would love to be an administrator. I am not sure what all the privileges of an administrator are, but I promise, if given such privileges I will do my best to use them to their potential for the good of this wiki. So when you make your decision, just know that I am more than willing to take on the position.
P.S. What's sysop? Sonictoast 20:13, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
The level of admin that can delete articles, ban Users, and all the usual stuff.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 20:15, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

So, are we gonna go anywhere with this?--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 00:21, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
- I have no particular complaint against Sonictoast receiving admin privileges, although I maintain that rollback is fairly pointless. -- Supermorff 08:11, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
