The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship/Joey.eyeball (August 2014)

The request for administratorship for Joey.eyeball.

Nomination
I, Auror Andrachome, would like to nominate for administratorship.

Joseph's first RfA was declined mainly due to the "Not Yet" clause. Well that request was roughly five months ago and I feel that Joey is ready to receive the rights. Joey is online regularly, doing wiki-gnome work throughout the wiki. He has constantly participated in community discussions and is fairly well-rounded in his contributions.

 * Thank you very much for the nomination, and I do accept. I will understand if others still do not think I'm ready to become an administrator yet but I won't ever abuse this privilege. Hope everyone agrees. Joey.eyeball (talk) 07:04, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Support: I had a number of concerns and criticisms the last time Joseph was up for administratorship. I think I may have judged too harshly the first time around (it's a trait I have that I'm trying to combat). But that aside, Joey has improved as an editor and a member of the community since that time, and I feel he is more than ready and capable of stepping into this role. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 08:01, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Joseph, you are a very good editor and you never act in bad faith, but I feel that you still have a few more things to learn first.

Should your RfA be declined, I think you should consider making more complex edits such as creating more templates, providing invaluable / valuable information to stubs, as well as creating Sim articles that have not been created already (if any).

I'm not trying to criticize and I don't tend to judge people based on what they haven't proven. But I still think you should consider what I've suggested above, then I will be more than happy to support you next time round. While I am not necessarily opposing this nomination, I'll be honest that I'm not supporting it.

(I must confess that I was a little too quick to support your previous RfA).

Overall I am neutral to this nomination. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 08:18, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

You don't need to create a template to become an administrator, or to make complex edits either. You have to show understanding towards how the wiki works, make edits that you think will be best for the wiki, partake in community discussions which involves the future of the wiki, and on top of all of that, you also need to use the rollback tool which was given to you, out of trust and commitment. Joseph, I believe you have completed these tasks during your time here, and I feel you are ready to become an administrator. You have proven you can use tools properly, and can easily edit a page. The edits may be minor, but you can work on that in the future. I was hesitant during your first request, but I believe you have proven wrong and are quite capable of becoming an administrator. I support you fully, and wish you luck. Beds (talk - blog ) 10:18, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, I am aware that you don't necessarily need to make complex edits or create templates. Those were just some tips that I stand by. You have certainly proven wrong and I wish you luck. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 11:53, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
