BobNewbie
I think he has done a extremely good work here on Sims Wiki, he has tallent and creativity, he has participated in important discussions and he is a kind person, I'm suggesting that BobNewbie could be the community director. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept. I am prepared and ready to be a community director. I am one on 2 other wiki's, and I am great at growing a community. I have more than 1,800 edits, and I work hard and believe in the quality of my edits. I am an experienced admin on many wiki's. I work hard at being a joy to work with, and I believe the community trusts me well enough. Thank you. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 15:41, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Other things I wan't to add is that I take part in discussions, created the The Sims Wiki Birthdays concept, worked with LostInRiverview to start Featured User nominations, and took a large part in creating The Sims Wiki:Battles. I welcome new users and give advice to them. If anybody would like to ask me any questions, feel free to do so. BobNewbie talk •  blog 16:17, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * I'll let this sit for a little while to give others a chance to comment, but I'm good with it. Dharden (talk) 20:07, December 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you Dharden. Everyone, please remember that I will answer any questions you wish to ask me. Thanks! -- BobNewbie talk • blog 20:15, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

I have no problem with BobNewbie becoming the Community Director until Bleeh returns to the Wiki in April (as she is also the community director) and then we can go from there. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:17, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

That works out. I can be community director till she returns. I believe having a fully active community director may also help out with the decreasing activity. BobNewbie talk • blog 20:21, December 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was actually going to mention that issue... I've talked with Bleeh on the IRC channel and she understands what's going on here. It's unfortunate it had to happen this way, but I think we need an active community director. I don't know what should be done in April when she returns, but if BobNewbie is willing to hold the position temporarily, I suppose that would work. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:25, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * As soon as Bleeh returns, I will step down from the position. I understand completely. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 07:34, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I have between average and high wiki editing knowledge. If I am chosen by the community for the task of being the community director, I will use this knowledge to grow and maintain the community to the best of my abilities. BobNewbie talk •  blog 17:06, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Despite several worries about you becoming admin, I'm in full support. 23:30, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you Auror! BobNewbie talk •  blog 06:28, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you to everyone who has given their support. I promise you will not regret doing so. BobNewbie talk •  blog 17:14, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * As I read it, Community Director is a position of responsibility, but not one that requires the holder to have sysop privs, so that's not an issue. Anyway, we do need an active CD now, and we have someone who is willing to do it on an interim basis. I see no reason why he should not. Approved. Dharden (talk) 20:56, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

GEORGIEGIBBONS
Position: Ombudsman

is an active participant on the wiki and has community support for the position of Ombudsman. I am confident that if given the position, he will remain neutral and do the job well. Therefore, I am nominating GEORGIEGIBBONS for the position of Ombudsman. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:18, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the late input, as I have been busy in RL. I accept the nomination. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  14:18, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support. He has, can and will do a great job as Ombudsman. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 19:24, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Neutral. To be honest, I don't know because I haven't seen many "social actions" from Georgie you when it comes to disputes, I am really indecisive because I don't know how would be Georgie's performance on matters such as disputes, however I think he has made such a great work, it wouldn't bother me if he was "promoted". Thank you for understanding. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:31, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Neutral, as I haven't seen GeorgieGibbons, really solve any issues. I actually haven't seen him edit at all recently, or, that just may be me. I do support him, since an able and competent admin nominated him.
 * My reasoning for nominating him is that he is actually pretty active (check his contributions; he's online almost every day) and in my memory has not been involved in any sort of dispute, has not really ever taken a side one way or another on a major controversial issue. Not many of us, myself included, can claim that. That alone is not reason enough to give someone a position, I agree, but GGs behavior here has been nothing if not exemplary, and there is no reason to think that he would not maintain neutrality. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:07, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm... good observation, Lost, taking no side is good, you are right but I don't think submission is all that good, you can have a opinions but express them in a neutral way and I don't know if it is that what he does... I may change my position but I would like more input here. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:20, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support from Bleeh.

Another poi is that users already ask him for help, and he helps them every time they ask. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 12:51, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

DarthCookie
Position: Forum Moderator

I nominate myself, I know I can do the job since I'm not busy at all. I need things to do and this would be perfect, it would give me a chance to be active once again, and give me something real to do. I've read all of the policies before and still remember them. Looking forward to the comments.-- DarthCookie  Talk 10:24, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * While I do think you've done good work here, as I have stated before the position of Forum Moderator will likely require administrator powers, and I am not sure that the Bureaucrats are willing to give them out for this position (but we'll see, won't we?)--  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:28, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

We will see.-- DarthCookie  Talk 09:21, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
