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.

Requests made on this page are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 80% support then they will be closed as successful. Opposers must provide reasons for opposing. All request will last a minimum of two weeks.

If a user has been nominated for adminship before, add 2 to the end of the topic header. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

I'm still fairly active here and almost always checking up on RecentChanges or #cvn-brickimedia. Have you been on Brickipedia for more than a few months, and made a few thousand contributions to articles here?

Yes. I've been active on the wiki since late June last year, and have since made over 1,200 mainspace edits with both of my accounts (235 on my previous one).

Do you regularly participate on the forums?

Yes. I give my opinion on nearly every forum if I get the chance to.

Do you revert vandalism when you see it, or tag pages for deletion?

Yes. I have reverted vandalism multiple times since becoming active and I have tagged plenty of review pages for deletion recently. I also have experience with undoing vandalism on Wikia, where I do it globally.

Are you bothered?

When it's needed, I often help. A recent example of this I can provide is while I was working on articles at LMBW, I was asked to tag any empty review pages I found for deletion. I'm willing to help out the wiki whenever it is needed. (although sometimes I'm not around when it is needed. :P)

Thanks for your vote, whether it be a support or oppose, I always like to know what I can improve on. :) -LFY1547 00:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Support

1. Support. Known him for a long time and I'm quite sure he could be trusted with administrator rights. Klintrin (talk) 01:04, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

1. I'd say you're close, but not there yet. You have good judgement and don't have difficulty editing. My primary concern is your activity. You can fluctuate from very active to long periods of inactivity with short or no notice. You also say you'll start editing again "soon" but often times never do... Something I rarely see in your edits is content creation, which is something you should be active in as an administrator. My suggestion would be to wait a few months before requesting adminship and be continuously active in editing. Possibly try to involve yourself in content improvement and after some time try to join the quality check group. --ToaMeiko (talk) 01:04, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

   Completely understood. :-) I'll work on it. Thanks for the response! -LFY1547 01:07, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
