The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship

Requests for bureaucratship are closed, as a request is currently under consideration.

This is the page where formal requests for bureaucratship are recorded and archived. Bureaucrats are users who can add rollback, sysop and bureaucrat flags to other users, and remove rollback and sysop flags. On, all bureaucrats also hold a sysop flag.

Requirements
There are no concrete requirements for a user to be a bureaucrat, except that the user must already be an admin. However, bureaucrats will usually:
 * Be among the biggest contributors to the wiki
 * Be highly trusted by the community over a long period of time

Procedures

 * Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
 * Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of RfB and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
 * Users must have adminship to be able to be made a bureaucrat.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves or be nominated by another user for bureaucratship. The nominee then has to accept the nomination. Self-nominations must be supported by at least one other user who meets the minimum qualifications for nominating a bureaucrat, within one week of a nomination.
 * 2) Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same RfB)
 * 3) There will only be one request at a time. A decision will be made on the current request (change/no change) before the next request is considered.
 * 4) Bureaucrat candidates that are not given bureaucrat privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may vote in support, be neutral, or oppose the bureaucratship nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
 * 2) Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
 * 3) The vote will last for two weeks.
 * 4) At the end of the two weeks, a bureaucrat will determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that bureaucrat requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.

Nomination
I, Guilherme Guerreiro, nominate GeorgieGibbons for bureaucratship on. I think he deserves the priveleges for all the improvements made to the wiki, and to his particular efficiency when it comes to solving vandalism issues. -- Guilherme Guerreiro ( talk here ) 16:18, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the thought Guilherme and I may as well give it a shot. I accept the nomination. 16:20, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * Note: Struck-out votes are eliminated because they do not meet the minimum voting requirements.
 * 1) GG is very dedicated and hard-working. I think he is worthy of this position. DanPin .:::. Talk 16:32, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Georgie has shown that he's a great administrator and would be an even better bureaucrat by all his anti-vandalism work. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 18:50, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) ~> ฬ ђ  (tคlк ★  ς๏ภtгเ๒ร) 06:32, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) GG always takes care the users who tried to do vandalism, mostly as I know. Nikel   (Talk to  me!)  14:25, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) One question: Why not? Pierogi 23:13, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Fair, hard working, experienced, highly active, etc, are only a few reasons as to why I believe GEORGIE can, and should, become a bureaucrat. -- BobNewbie  ∞(Talk)∞  19:10, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) i vote for you Wir.wiryawan 07:54, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Knows what he's doing and is very active. I see no reasons to not make GG a bureaucrat, but I see many reasons to make GG a bureaucrat. --Callofduty4 17:49, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) GEORGIEGIBBONS is one of the best editors in The Sims Wiki and he is dedicated to it. Keep on with the great work, you deserve this. Vss2eip 21:14, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
