The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Beds (November 2013)

Nomination
Beds - In discussion

I, LostInRiverview, would like to nominate for bureaucratship on The Sims Wiki.

Beds has been one of the strongest contributors to The Sims Wiki in recent months. She is very well-rounded in her contributions, with many edits to the main namespace, as well as file namespace edits. She has been a vocal participant in wiki discussions and active nearly every day on Chat and the IRC Channel. As an editor, she is hugely beneficial to our wiki and our community.

She is also an exemplary administrator. She has served competently since her successful promotion, and has shown herself to be extremely level-headed and fair in her decisions and in how she acts. She has demonstrated an ability to keep an open mind, even when others (i.e. myself) have been unable to. I have on multiple occasions relied on her intelligent and fair judgment to help me reach decisions or to help me see the bigger picture. I have no doubt that she has helped others in similar ways, and will continue to do so.

At this point, I think it's worth mentioning that I have not always been a fan of Beds; for instance, I opposed her initial request for administratorship. Since that point, her behavior and actions have completely obliterated all of my reasons for opposing her - in short, I was wrong. I have come to have complete confidence in Beds' ability to serve as a strong and fair leader, and I know that we will all benefit greatly from this promotion. She has my absolute support in this nomination and in her actions as a user and administrator of this wiki. I can think of very few people who should be entrusted with bureaucrat rights more than her. I hope you all agree as well. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 21:15, November 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I must be honest here, I never thought I would get this far on the wiki. I honestly thought I would not even make it to rollback. Which I did; and that was exactly 8 months ago. Then, back in June, I became an administrator, and now, in November, I am being nominated for bureaucratship; this is rather a shock for me. Now, I will admit that over the months, I have came off to certain users who never stayed around, as rude, but others have seen a light in me. A light that no one has ever seen in me before. And I am grateful for that. Now, I have said in the past that I am not keen on becoming a bureaucrat, but recently, I have had a small change of mind. That is why, with a heavy heart and some sort of positivity in me, I would like to accept this nomination. Thank you LostInRiverview for nominating me, thank you to everyone who supported my administratorship request and nomination both times, thank you Lost Labyrinth and AsherÉire for my rollback rights back in March, and thank you everyone for reviewing and having a say in my bureaucratship.

Discussion
''This discussion will run for at least five days. Countdown: ''

Beds is almost always getting involved with important community matters such as discussions, which I feel is important for any user let alone a bureaucrat or an admin. She has also demonstrated that she can maintain neutrality and successfully determine consensus which are very important traits for a bureaucrat especially when it comes to user rights discussions. On top of this, Beds manages to stand out within the community and I believe that others could go far by looking up to her. I fully believe that she can handle the bureaucrat tools and I see nothing but positives to the community should the consensus of this discussion work out favourably. 22:33, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

I always see Hana in both Wikia chat and the IRC channel which means she's indeed very active for almost everyday. She also actively participates in many community activities. Her experience as a sysop in this wiki for quite some time proves her worthiness into becoming a b'crat as well. In conclusion, she has my support and all I can say for now is good luck for her. -- Frostwalker   Talk -  Read 07:07, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

Beds has been actively voiced in her opinions in many community discussions, and participated in a lot of community activities. Apart from her active contributions to the wiki, which usually revolve around maintaining stuff in the background, she's also very welcome to users. I believe she would make a good and suitable crat for the wiki.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  05:36, November 13, 2013 (UTC)
