Walking Dead Wiki:Requests for Adminship

Requests for Adminship (RfA) is the process by which the community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional technical features that aid in maintenance. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. See the Requests for Adminship Archive page if you are looking for all past applications.

Requirements

Before submitting a request for adminship, users must meet a list of requirements. The requirements are listed below:

• The user must have completed at least 1,000 or more edits at the time of their submission.
• The user must have been an accounted member of the wikia for at least seven months* at the time of their submission.
• In addition, no user may submit a request if another admin request is still being voted upon. This allows the community to focus and devote their full attention to a single request before moving on to another.

If a user submits a request without matching one of these requirements, their submission will be removed immediately. They can re-submit their request at a later date, with an existing admin's permission.

Notes

1. *This time period was decided upon so that the user has had experience on the wikia during various times of the year, including during the airing of AMC's The Walking Dead, when the community tends to be busiest.

Request Process

1. A user submits his request for adminship or is nominated by another user. Submit your request by leaving a message detailing why you feel you are qualified for the position and why you would be an asset to the community. Follow your message with your signature.

2. Users in the community will have a two-week period to support, oppose, or remain neutral to a user's request. IPs, or users without accounts are not allowed to vote.

3. When the two-week period is up, the page will be locked so that no new votes can be made. If the request has at least 8 supportive votes* and more supportive votes than opposing votes, it is qualified for admin voting. If not, the request is denied.

4. If the request is qualified, the admins will have one week to vote. They will submit their votes anonymously amongst themselves. The request needs a simple majority of the voting admins** to be approved.

5. If the majority of the voting admins decide to approve a request, a bureaucrat will grant the user adminship.

Notes

1. *Admins are allowed to vote in the preliminary voting if they decide to, but they are not required to.

2. **At least two-thirds of the admins need to cast votes during admin voting.

How to vote

To vote, simply place one of the four voting templates below the request, along with any existing votes. The voting templates to choose from are "Support", "Oppose", "Neutral", and "Comment". After placing the template, explain why you cast that specific vote. Provide valid reasoning; don't support a user simply because they are your friend or oppose a user because you don't like them. Provide solid and clear reasoning. Keep in mind that you are not only voting on the request, but also trying to persuade the admins to support or oppose the submission. Follow your reasoning with your signature.

Voting templates

{{support}}	Support
{{oppose}}	Oppose
{{neutral}}	Neutral

Nominations/Candidates

The admin team is looking for a few new admins. If you are interested and think you would be a good admin, or know of someone who would be a good admin, please submit your nomination below with a brief explanation why. Please consider quality of edits, how long they've been around, behavior on talk pages/forums/edit summaries, and overall demeanor. Thanks!

User:Elfrax

I'm going to try it again! I introduce myself to those who do not know me, my name is Francesco and in truth, I'm not on the wiki as a long time active user (October 2017), but I first followed it for a few months without registering to understand the various mechanisms. In any case, I have never stopped to follow any TWD media although in recent years my interest has slightly reduced, I have to say that FTWD (up to season 3) and the video games (yes, I also liked the third season) they helped me keep going on. Then what to say, I feel obsessed with this franchise as I also read the novel series.

In any case, returning to the main topic, I really like to edit the wiki - reason why I decided to run as a janitor as first - and adding new contents, which can be photos for the gallery, informations about the new volumes of comics, new trivias while rewatching the episodes, cleaning the pages, etc..

I'm active almost 5 days out of 7 excluding the weekend, I'm open in finding a way that unites everyone when a problem arises and I am reasonable in addition to being able to recognize my own mistakes. Also, I really hate the edit wars and I always try to avoid them by going immediately to warn an admin. It's just a waste of time and it messes up the recent activity page. I just try to enjoy the wiki-life: I prefer to have a conversation and try to set up our differences instead of starting a flame.

Of course, I still have a lot to learn, but it would be an honor for me to become an admin of this wiki.

Thank you so much for your considerations, even if you support me or not!

User:BIGBROBILI

Hello everyone!!!

My name is Anastasios Bilikaidis, but my friends call me BIGBROBILI. As most of you probably already know I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead as a whole franchise: I love the comics and have read all of the issues by now, I love the show and have watched it at least three times by now and I also watch Fear TWD. I haven't played the Video Game Series, but I don't really think that is a problem, as I know a lot of users, as well as administrators who usually edit pages of a specific TWD media (3 out of 4 is a good number anyway, right?) Moreover, unlike many people, I haven't lost my passion for the world of TWD and I still love every media of it.

Fixing links, reverting bad edits and adding interesting Trivia to the characters' pages are the most common thing you will see me do in this wiki. However, even though these are my favourite kinds of edits, my editing skills don't stop there. I can assure you about that.

I am also a pretty kind user I think and have never been warned for a ban.

I also think I have all the requirements, in order to become an administrator. That means: 1.At this point and after all of these departures I'm one of the oldest members of this wiki. Fun fact: I have actually been visiting this wiki, since 2014, but it wasn't until 2016 that I finally decided to create an actual account. Since then, I have litetally been active every single day in the wiki. That means, I know how this wiki works. 2.I have completed 1000 and more edits at the time of my submission. Speciffically, at this point I have approximately completed almost 2000 and more edits. I know that this number isn't that big, compared to other users in this wiki, but I promise you, now that I have more free time, this number of edits will soon become a lot bigger. Because of school, I didn't have the time to edit that much, but as I already stated, expect this number to become at least x2 times bigger in the near future.

Thank you for taking your time reading this and I hope you consider me for the role. It would honestly be a great honor for me!

--BBB (talk) 09:23, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support You've support me so I want to return the favor. Thank you for not losing your passion, here's my vote.--ZOMBIVERSE (talk) 13:32, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support I think you'd make for a good admin. You made a lot of edits, all of them being good and contributing much to the wiki. You have my support. --Freaky Ass Smile Lord (talk) 15:36, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Doing a great job here on the wiki. I just see the way the user contributes to pages. Helping out with trivia and other sections. And just a big help all around. Natalie j (talk) 19:34, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Here' a vote. You are a great and hard-working editor, and I believe you are admin material. --DalesRV (talk) 20:06, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support I don't generally pay attention to who edits what, but he's been a friendly presence on this Wiki as long as I can remember and that's good enough for me. RazeSpear (talk) 06:00, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Support Absolutely! You're friendly, active, and always know what you're doing. I think I've voted for you before (but my memory is foggy), and I see no reason not to now. :) KeepOnKeepingOn (talk) 19:21, February 24, 2019 (UTC)

User:KeepOnKeepingOn

Pardon me, my fellow users, but I'd like to begin my application speech by reciting the 'n' word.

New admins are in need and who better than probably everybody else with me tagging alongside.

I've been a member of this wiki for a long time, started out as an immature little pissant 13 year old and am now an immature big pissant undisclosedage-year-old. Getting to know so many people here has been great and terrible, I've met awesome people and I've met not-so-awesome-okay-fuck-it-downright-shitty people, but mostly awesome people.

The community is epic, and with everything that's happened recently making me want to leave as well, I kinda... can't? Mostly because I stand with the community, and not with FANDOM. I do my best to make edits and be a part of the community in as friendly a way as possible (though even I can agree I'm a hardass most of the time), and I feel like I could totally be a positive dude for the team.

Yes I can be a douche sometimes, but I never want to come off as a downright dickwad. I like 99.9% of the people here and don't even know the other 0.1%, so that's something. Plus, I'm already friends with some of the prior admins, so it's not like I don't got connections, wink wink nudge nudge jk pity me plz.

TL;DR, my mommy says I've been getting good grades in school and I deserve this wiki, if you don't give it to me she'll call the cops, plox don't post this under r/entitledparents, thank ya'll for your consideration and have a fine ass day.

PS: I'll vote for ya'll soon. KeepOnKeepingOn (talk) 21:15, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Glad to see that you've requested yourself this time also. :) GigglingJuggernaut460 (talk) 21:17, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Jake has shown himself to be quite the mature user. I'm happy that one of my final edits here will be in support for my bud. Pigpen077 (talk) 21:18, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Sure. You've been around for a while and I think you'd be a good admin. --Freaky Ass Smile Lord (talk) 21:19, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Yes the first time, yes this time. Myelle (talk) 21:20, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Comment I’d like to add that Cam was an admin on three total wikis including this one during his time here. KeepOnKeepingOn (talk) 21:38, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Comment There's no need to be spiteful. It just proves our points we were making before. I also don't appreciate the quotes on "busy", since the majority of us at the time were indeed busy. When life comes for you, you can't be expected to monitor an online site as much as before. My new job doesn't allow me to do so much anymore, but I myself, Cam, Ghost, Pig, and other past admins were super active and made sure this wiki ran like a well-oiled machine. We were all thinking of stepping down even before the issues with staff's incompetence came to light. ~ SilentGlaive ^{Knowledge is power} 21:47, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Great edits, active person, and overall a friendly user. Hope you get the position! -JackDelMars (talk) 21:34, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support yessir you'll do fine my friend. --Naruto Uzumaki (talk) 01:17, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Support Of course you'll win for sure, I mean, you can basically post some RTS images from the wiki JPRker2000 (talk) 04:13, February 24, 2019 (UTC)

User:AmazingPurry

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury... My name is Purry and before I begin I would like to note that despite my small edit count I have a big heart... Being apart of this Wiki community for most likely over half of my online existence, so far back into the depths of time that the wiki that was graced with Perry before Purry. Since 2013 I have been blessed with the luck of meeting the coolest people on the now-dead wiki chat and even more people on the previously-Wiki Discord server. I have seen many things while being apart of this community and despite my ghostly in-and-out presence over the past few years, I'd like to put forward my request for admin ship!

I'm still a fan of The Walking Dead comics and Fear The Walking Dead and I despite not being able to play the Telltale version, I do keep up with it and am still interested in it's story line. I also keep up with the main Television franchise and occasionally tune in. I do think that over these years I have learnt (and still learning!) to be more mature and everyday is a learning day for me! Communicating with others, working towards a better community and helping to edit otherwise over-looked pages on the wiki is something I'm interested in and feel like I can put my efforts into! Plus, I'm usually always active around wikia (Even if it's not on this one, I'll usually see a message! I also check recent activity fairly recently... hehe, no pun intended.) 

So, ladies, follow your heart... A support or a oppose -- or even a neutral -- is a step towards success! Consider voting your friendly lady all the way from Scotland today! 

Purry™ _(talk) 20:35, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support A much better replacement then Scooby could ever be. Purry, better known as The Gamer Girl, has the classic sass and the stylish attitude to get this place running again. She's got my vote 100%. Pigpen077 (talk) 20:41, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Purry is a great editor and a fairminded person. She also has been a member for a long time so she knows how the place works. i think she would do a great job Naruto Uzumaki (talk) 20:37, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support Not only do you seem like a very mature and intelligent person, you also seem super sweet and caring. And that's a good trait that an admin at the end of the day should have. You've got my vote. Good luck! Myelle (talk) 21:07, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support A yes from me. You’re mature, and you know your stuff about the franchise. Happy yo help you become an admin as one of my final edits on this wiki. CDandme (talk) 21:52, February 22, 2019 (UTC)CDandme

Support Seemingly a mature user! -JackDelMars (talk) 22:40, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support She's a cool and mature user. Going from neutral to support here. GigglingJuggernaut460 (talk) 22:42, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support I'd rather have an admin who cares about the wiki than one with many edits just striving for power. Freaky Ass Smile Lord (talk) 22:44, February 22, 2019 (UTC)

Support yah, purry a nice person after all JPRker2000 (talk) 05:08, February 23, 2019 (UTC)

Support A nice, funny, and supportive person who knows what they're doing at all times. Purry, you definitely deserve this! KeepOnKeepingOn (talk) 19:21, February 24, 2019 (UTC)

Comment While I didn't realize at the time, I noticed you only have 660 edits as of now. While a person's edit count is in no way a reflection of how mature and professional they are, the application process requires a mimunum of 1,000 edits to apply. Regardless, I do still support you and vouch that it shouldn't prevent you from becoming an admin. However, I fear for a lack of activity from you, especially as you have been a member of the Wiki for about 6 years. I really hope if you do get promoted, I continue to see that edit count go up consistently and rather quickly as being an admin is a big responsibility. Best of luck!
