The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship

Requests for bureaucratship are closed, as a request is currently pending. Requests will be accepted once the pending nomination is handled.

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, BobNewbie, nominate Random Ranaun for bureaucrat rights. He has shown repeatedly on his time on the Wiki, community-wise, technical-wise and administration-wise that he is capable of handling the position. His contributions to the Wiki is nothing less then excellent, and I believe that The Sims Wiki will be positively effected by him becoming a bureaucrat. -- Zombie talk • blog 19:33, May 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I accept the nomination. Thank you Bob. —Random Ranaun (Talk to me! ) 04:49, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Strong Support - RR has done so much for the wiki and he deserves the rights! 07:03, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Full Support - The knowledge he has added to this wiki is absolutely stunning, he has had a very good behavior and never messes up with people. It would be a good move to have him as a bureaucrat! Good luck with the nomination! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:18, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Strong Support - You have done so much for and to this wiki that you definately deserve bureaucrat rights. After all, this wiki owes you since you are such a good editor and the 97% of the family tree images have been uploaded and created by you. You deserve this promotion 100%!\_Andronikos Leventis Talk 18:41, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Oppose - Ignoring edit count, I do not believe RandomRanaun is deserving of bureaucrat rights. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 01:34, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose - Recent events have led me to question what RR would be like in a position of power. --W H  (Talk) 01:38, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to need to ask for a little more clarification as to these oppositions. You have the right to oppose, but for the sake of relevance, I'm going to need to ask what the opposition is about, specifically. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 00:14, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * My reasoning for opposing is that from what I have seen, RR gets into some unnecessary drama and blames others for it. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 03:41, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * My reasoning was what Bleeh said. --W H  (Talk) 08:27, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Nomination
I, Monster2821, nominate Dharden for bureaucratship on.


 * I accept. Dharden (talk) 05:12, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Dharden has had such a positive impact on the Wiki and has served brilliantly as an administrator. It is quite obvious that Dharden is among the most reasonable and responsible people here, and I can think of few users who are more deserving of this position. I wholeheartedly support this nomination. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:37, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Support because Dharden has done many good edits, and reverted much vandalism. I think he would do as much great as a Bureaucrat, as he does as an Admin. So full support Dharden, besides we need more active Bureaucrats.--♥DarthCookie♥ 05:51, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) He's got experience and most importantly: wisdom. -- Duskey talk 06:05, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Same reason as above, he will do a great job (thanks for correcting me and warning me when I need to :)! ---Guilherme Guerreiro 17:11, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Support. He is helpful. has made many good edits and already does a good job as a sysop. I am sure he will do great as a 'crat. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 16:04, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Nomination
I, Eduardog3000, nominate Duskey for bureaucratship on .--Eduardog3000 00:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept. -- Duskey talk 01:04, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I'm surprised he isn't a bureaucrat. Also we need more active bureaucrats.--Eduardog3000 00:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I support Duskey for bureaucrat because he made a lot of good no excellent edits.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page)  @  01:40, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I think all the things he's done for the wiki in the months that he's been here more than make him qualified to serve as a bureaucrat. I think he is level-headed, extremely experienced and is willing to put the time in to do the job right. He has my full support. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 02:05, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I agree with his nomination, he is active almost all days, he is very patience with our questions, he made a very good job as an admin. He knows a lot of things about the game and an important detail: He is very nice. I also support you fully. You will do a great job as an bureaucrat. Guilherme Guerreiro 10:52, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Strong support. Very helpful, very good faith editor, will do a great job as a bureaucrat. GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 18:15, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) You have helped me with some good advice, and I am supporting you for becoming a bureaucrat. I think you would do a magnificent job as one, besides your always helpful to the community.
 * 7) You make more edits than there are Facebook user :), and you make great changes, so I am sure you always revert vandalism when you can. Overall you would make an excellent bureaucrat, I support you fully (as stated above), and you can always count on me for supporting you for whatever. -DarthCookie (talk)-Giovanna 06:54, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
