The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship

Administrator requests are almost always open on.

Minimum requirements
If you have proven yourself to be a valuable member of the community, and you think you're capable of doing the job, this is where to apply. Minimum requirements are:
 * Average or higher wiki editing knowledge.
 * This means you have to have contributed regularly to some wiki (not necessarily this one).


 * Having started to contribute on The Sims Wiki (edits in the content namespace are not taken too seriously).
 * Your first edit on The Sims Wiki should not be your application on this page.


 * Understandable, (almost 100%) correct English all the time.
 * If u talk liek dis, ur not rdy 2 bcome admin


 * Playing the game is nice, since you'll be editing and making decisions based on the game's content.
 * Be able to expand articles to make them more useful for the community.
 * You should not copy articles from Wikipedia and paste them here.


 * Rollback rights are a prerequisite for requesting adminship.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves or be nominated by another user for administratorship. The nominee then has to accept the nomination before voting can begin.
 * 2) If the nominee accepts the nomination, they should also choose two Administrative projects when stating their acceptance.
 * 3) Multiple requests at one time are allowed.
 * 4) Administrator candidates that are not given administrator privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may support, be neutral toward, or oppose the nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
 * 2) 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 RfA and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
 * 3) Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
 * 4) A bureaucrat will then determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that administrator requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.
 * 5) Admins and bureaucrats may nominate and/or vote on a nomination. However, a bureaucrat who votes on a nomination and later reviews the nomination must review according to the vote result, not their personal opinion of the nominee.
 * 6) A vote on an RfA shall last for 1 week.
 * 7) Votes on an RfA may be closed early if it is obvious that consensus against it will not be reached. (e.g. 6+ support and 0 oppose)

What you will do as an admin

 * Revert vandalism, warn and/or block vandals.
 * Move pages to correct page names, delete unnecessary redirects.
 * Have a strong voice when decisions have to be made.
 * Represent The Sims Wiki well in the Wikia and internet community.

What you may not do as an admin

 * Use your administrator privileges to take advantage of users or to control the wiki.
 * Ignore the needs and wants of wiki users.
 * Act as a poor representative of The Sims Wiki on other wikis, or participate in major cross-wiki drama.

More info and a list of current admins can be found at Administrators.

Positions available
Additionally, some special positions are available for administrators and members of the community. These are filled on the Requests for special positions page, though users requesting administratorship here may in their request ask for one or more of these positions. List of positions and their responsibilities is available on this page. Willingness to take on special duties may make you more likely to be selected.

User:ColinThePanda
I Nominated Colin for his great contributions to this wiki, with a good sense of humor and a quick responser, he is sure to be nominated. He also has Generosity, Loyalty and Compassion to the wiki, For example he helped fing my Signature and replaced it for me and surely there is more to be explained.

TheSims23
I nominate TheSims23 for her administratorship. TheSims23 is a constant contributor in this wiki, and quite active from time to time. She has made a lot of edits and accomplishments. She knows the style of good editing, uploading many great images, improving a lot of pages, and so on that really help this wiki out. She deserves a right to become an admin if she is willing to. Awaiting for her confirmation.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:34, September 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I accept. I would like to apply for the Image and File Maintenance and Layout and Navigation admin projects. I also saw that noone is in charge for Featured Tutorial so if you allow me, I'd like to be. And if wiki needs more admins for something, I'm willing to help. :)  Simming is my Life!

 * Strong support - TheSims23 has been about for a while and has added a lot of valuable information to the wiki. She knows very well what she's doing and I am confident that she will make a great admin. 20:24, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak support You are a really good editor, but I'd like to see some more mainspace edits. BakeryChaz  ~ ( let's have a chat! ) 22:35, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Seems like the user's contribution in the file organization is unrivalled. That Maintenance job will suit the user well, IMO. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES  (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 00:31, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Seems like everyone has covered everything I'm thinking. Just keep going with the mainspace edits and everything will be grand. Asher Éire I'm a lonely person, so please talk to me... 14:39, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would like to add in regards to mainspace edits that out of her 1625 total edits, 531 mainspace edits is still quite a bit, though I personally go for quality of edits rather than an arbitrary edit count. Heck, out of 9666 edits, I only have 2244 in the mainspace. :P 16:41, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Approved, congrats!

Strongheartxxx1998
I request to be admin to Make wiki better!!! Is that okay???Strongheartxxx1998 (talk) 19:03, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Closing as invalid nomination - Firstly you don't have rollback rights, secondly your request write-up was very poorly written and doesn't say why you need to be an admin and finally, you haven't made a single good faith contribution, not to mention you've been banned from Chat twice for disruption as well as being blocked for impersonating others. 19:12, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Freedom
My name is Freedom, I believe I deserve to become an admin because, as of now, I have 1,800 edits, most of which are constructive edits made on the wiki's canon pages. I also already have rollback rights and have lots of experience with page layouts and coding and what a page needs to be well developed. I am fairly well known the wiki community and I know many of the wiki users and know how to handle them as well as vandals. If I were to become an admin I would like to apply for the Visual Improvement and Community Development projects. Thank you for time.
 * Support - The amount of constructive edits she has made is astounding! I'm surprised that she didn't apply sooner.  Colin the Panda -  Meow  19:02, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support- I think she is a very good editor. user:Salammbo talk to me, like me. Why? Just do it! 20:07, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support- Everyone else took the words right out of my mouth there. She's certainly the most ideal person for this role. Asher Éire I'm a lonely person, so please talk to me... 20:18, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - You're doing a good job and you've been around long enough to have experience, so I support this request. --  LiR speak ~ read 22:12, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - You've proven to have a good editing experience and know the wiki workarounds.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  03:26, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

As expected, voting has dried up and I'll be closing this. Approved
