Brickipedia:Requests for Adminship

Requests: Chat Moderator - Administrator - Bureaucrat - Patroller

This is Brickipedia's requests for adminship page, on which any user may request administrator rights. Administrators have many technical abilities that are used for the maintenance and upkeep of Brickipedia, and a full list of all of the user rights that they have access to can be found at Special:ListGroupRights.

While being an administrator may seem "fun" or "cool", you should consider whether or not you actually have a use for sysop rights before filing a request. Administrators should be active users on Brickipedia with a few thousand contributions who have a good understanding of policies and community discussions here. While being an administrator is not a big deal, it is a significant time commitment, and takes a lot of work. If you are considering nominating yourself for adminship, please read through the checklist to make sure that you meet the criteria.

To file a request, place the following code under the "current requests" header, above any existing requests.

There is an archive here for adminship requests.

1999bug (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - (1,928 edits, 557 mainspace)

Bug has now been an active user on this wiki for nearly two years, and he's quickly gained a lot of maturity during this time. He's a very active chat moderator, forum member, and blog user. He would be a great help with keeping away spam, making sure everything is going smoothly, and that everyone is following our policies. Drewlzoo 20:58, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the nomination, Drew and hello to anyone reading this.

As stated above, I am an extremely active user who has been here for almost two years. I'm not the most avid editor to the wiki, but I tend to pace myself and look for information that is definitely needed and not excess. Sure, I may not be the best editor but I am extremely involved with the community and I'd be willing to partake in nearly anything if it meant the satisfaction of my fellow Brickipedians, whom I consider friends. My involvement with the wiki is key and my lack of edits may be an issue, but do recall that I know how things work.

Being a moderator and patroller has confronted me with plenty of issues over the course of time I've had the rights; Spammers and vandals are nothing new to me, I've confronted them numerous times. I might not be the first to find an issue on a page, but that doesn't mean I won't take action if I do.

My main issue is my mentality, I feel like the rights should come to me, not the other way around. If this nomination fails, I'll just wait for the day that I need the rights for the sake of the wiki. If this nomination does pass, then I will definitely use the rights to the wiki's advantage rather than my own and I'll be ready for any forthcoming issues as well as unforeseen ones.

Lastly, I'd like to thank all of you that have helped me get this far, I never imagined I'd actually be partaking in a nomination for administrative rights. Please feel free to leave an oppose or support, either way it is for the greater good of the wiki. Kind regards to all of you, - 1999bug - Contributions - Talk page

Um, definitely. While he isn't really active in mainspace, he is mature and can protect against spam. User:Darth henry/Sig 21:16, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
Per Drew. User:Awesomeknight1234/SigbyCP
I guess. Good luck, Bug! :) --LEGO2013Helper (talk) 21:29, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Neutral

Bug is certainly one of the more level-headed users here and I have no doubt that he would be good at the job. However, his mainspace edits come around to below 400, a number that, in my opinion, should be quite a bit more before I support. ~~Jeyo~~ Lord Vladek Talk The Forge 21:31, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose

Sorry, but per Jeyo NovaHawk 22:01, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
