The Sims Wiki:Requests for special positions

__NOWYSIWYG__

This is the page where requests for special positions are filed and heard. See this page for a list of special positions and their requirements. Receiving a special position does not automatically provide rollback or administrator privileges - these must be requested separately.

Lost Labyrinth
Position: Community Director

I would like to apply to take on the role of Community Director. It is indeed unfortunate that Bleeh resigned from her role as Community Director and I think it's important that someone with experience takes over the role.

I'm frequently in the IRC channel, I get on well with most users here, I bring up suggestions to improve the wiki and I feel that I can efficiently take on this position. I won't be offended by any opposition and I'll appreciate any constructive feedback. And of course, another bureaucrat would be approving/denying this request so that I don't look like some sort of dictator. :P 10:53, February 5, 2012 (UTC)  ThomasWikia Main 09:14, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Support - You're one of the most active administrators and you are ready for it. RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here )  21:21, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - I believe he could take over the position and be responsible for it.  Nikel  Talk  08:58, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - He's a great admin who helps a lot in the wikia. Sure, I would like him to become the community director. Good luck! Not sure if I can vote for him.
 * Request approved, congrats!

Position: Ombudsman

Hello, My name is Devdevdev and I would like to sign for the Ombudsman Position. I know many user's on This wiki and even seen some of them. I like Fairness and any cheating/Winding up people is not allowed in Devdevdev World, Contrary to being in the free world Sadly. 🌹 Deathbee1000 19:04, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I've never really seen much reason as into how Dev would take on a role like this and why he would need it but I doubt he'd act maliciously should he be given this position, so I'm in the middle with this. 19:11, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I get what you mean there. 🌹 Deathbee1000 19:17, December 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Nothing personal, but I don't think you're ready for this position.
 * Given that this is literally a ghost town and we're unlikely to receive any further input, I'm going to have to decline this request for now. 21:11, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Pidgeoraptor7
Position: Ombudsman

Hi everyone! I'd really like to apply for the position of Ombudsman. I'm very much a pacifist, and I can't stand violence. I know the wiki is undergoing a lot of change, and change is not always agreed with. This may lead to disputes, and having an Ombudsman available might be helpful. I think I am qualified for this position, as I'm preety sure that I maintain a pretty good working relationship with many users here, and if my request is granted, I'll do everything in my power to keep the peace.

I constantly am on the wiki, looking all over and through the Recent Wiki Activity for signs of profanity and abuse. If I'm not ready, I'd completely understand. But if so, I'd appreciate it very much. 03:28, December 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * As I know I cannot vote but I would like to say PGR7 would make a great ombudsman unlike me, so if I was a B'crat I would Strongly Support him. DevlyHallows (talk) 18:17, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Dev, you're allowed to vote. Voting isn't limited to bureaucrats only and the minimum requirements to be able to vote state you only need 1 edit to do so and while I find that to be too light of a requirement imo, you're definitely well past it. :)


 * As far as the request is concerned, I'm going to abstain from voting purely because I made a thread proposed to retire Special positions, which could cause a potential conflict of interest if I gave a support/neutral/oppose vote at all. 18:48, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Same from me... If I weren't in support of scrapping the position I'd support him getting it. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 23:06, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Whilst LiR and GG have abstained from voting, I am fully supporting your request. You truly strive for the ombudsman position and I believe your demeanor (calm and genuine) fits the shoe for it. You have my vote! Ѧüя◎ґ (talk)

No conclusion was ever reached on whether this position would stay or go, so at least for now it will remain. That being said, this application has been waiting for multiple months and does have the support of several community members, so I'm going to go ahead and approve this request. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 15:50, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
