The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship

Currently, requests for bureaucratship are closed.

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 one week.
 * 4) At the end of the week, 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, GeorgieGibbons, nominate Woganhemlock for bureaucratship on. What with the release of The Sims 3: Pets around the corner, I think that we could do with another bureaucrat. WH has done a lot to improve the wiki, whether it be from adding images to articles to vandalism clean-up and even improving the CSS/JS, not to mention that he never participates in any drama. Not only that, WH is a bureaucrat at The Sims Medieval Wiki and does a good job at it. With all those things in mind, I feel that he is a very strong choice to become a bureaucrat on TSW. 17:09, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for consideration Georgie. I accept.

Questions

 * Just one question before the vote. Is it really necessary to have another crat? We currently have 4 active crats, while Bleeh and GG are the most active atm. Don't we still have enough power and helping hand for The Sims 3: Pets articles, don't you think?  Nikel  Talk  09:30, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can understand your point. However, as a couple of bureaucrats (one being myself) discussed on IRC about becoming a litte less active due to RL, we decided to open up the nominations for one more crat. A few admins were on IRC at the time as well and there wasn't any opposition. Besides, it wouldn't hurt too much to have another bureaucrat and I think WH is a good choice. 16:49, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, it all makes sense. I trust Wogan, and I wish the bureaucrats can now serve the wiki even better without risking their own RL.  Nikel  Talk  08:48, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) WH has made many improvement on this wiki. --Wir.wiryawan 02:06, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I agreed Wir, Wh had helped me so much.LolitaG 11:28, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Definitely, for all he has done for this wiki. -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 17:49, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Agree with above. Woganhemlock has a great anti-vandalism record and a good amount of edits.  Vss2eip talk here  17:52, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Per all the above mentioned reasons. -- Bob  ๑  18:40, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) There is no need to explain how Wogan has contributed himself to this wiki. He deserves the bureaucracy privilege and responsibilities. I questioned this request, but not on the purpose to doubt his work.  Nikel  Talk  08:44, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) I agree with all of the above and I think he will be a good bureaucrat. DanPin  ( Talk ) 06:19, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Conclusion
Consensus was reached in support of Woganhemlock becoming a bureaucrat and rights were given. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 22:10, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
