The Sims Wiki:Requests for special positions/Closed requests

BobNewbie
I think he has done a extremely good work here on Sims Wiki, he has tallent and creativity, he has participated in important discussions and he is a kind person, I'm suggesting that BobNewbie could be the community director. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 15:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I accept. I am prepared and ready to be a community director. I am one on 2 other wiki's, and I am great at growing a community. I have more than 1,800 edits, and I work hard and believe in the quality of my edits. I am an experienced admin on many wiki's. I work hard at being a joy to work with, and I believe the community trusts me well enough. Thank you. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 15:41, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Other things I wan't to add is that I take part in discussions, created the The Sims Wiki Birthdays concept, worked with LostInRiverview to start Featured User nominations, and took a large part in creating The Sims Wiki:Battles. I welcome new users and give advice to them. If anybody would like to ask me any questions, feel free to do so. BobNewbie talk •  blog 16:17, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

I have no problem with BobNewbie becoming the Community Director until Bleeh returns to the Wiki in April (as she is also the community director) and then we can go from there. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:17, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

That works out. I can be community director till she returns. I believe having a fully active community director may also help out with the decreasing activity. BobNewbie talk • blog 20:21, December 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was actually going to mention that issue... I've talked with Bleeh on the IRC channel and she understands what's going on here. It's unfortunate it had to happen this way, but I think we need an active community director. I don't know what should be done in April when she returns, but if BobNewbie is willing to hold the position temporarily, I suppose that would work. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:25, December 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * As soon as Bleeh returns, I will step down from the position. I understand completely. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 07:34, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I have between average and high wiki editing knowledge. If I am chosen by the community for the task of being the community director, I will use this knowledge to grow and maintain the community to the best of my abilities. BobNewbie talk •  blog 17:06, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Despite several worries about you becoming admin, I'm in full support. 23:30, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you Auror! BobNewbie talk •  blog 06:28, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you to everyone who has given their support. I promise you will not regret doing so. BobNewbie talk •  blog 17:14, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * As I read it, Community Director is a position of responsibility, but not one that requires the holder to have sysop privs, so that's not an issue. Anyway, we do need an active CD now, and we have someone who is willing to do it on an interim basis. I see no reason why he should not. Approved. Dharden (talk) 20:56, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

User:

Position: Interim Community Director
 * Applicant has withdrawn from consideration

I would like to apply for the position of Community Director, up until our permanent Community Director returns in April. It's unfortunate that BobNewbie had to leave the position, but I think we can move forward. I was very impressed by all that Bob started and I hope to carry forward everything he did, as well as start some new things. My ideas include
 * Highlighting user created contests from time-to-time
 * Drawing more activity to the Forums through threads and community discussion
 * Gathering feedback from community members for improvement to the community.

If I am given this opportunity, I intend to hold it only until Bleeh is able to return. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:10, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Way to go LostInRiverview!
 * Support - You have done a great job as an administrator and I am positive that you will do a good job as an interim Community Director. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  20:13, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I second the above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelamppost (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~
 * Yes, you're such a great admin, and you've done a gorgeous job to improve our community involvement, congratulations! :) --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:05, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing - On second thought, I think this position would be better suited for a non-administrator, so I am going to withdraw my name and application. I encourage any other active community members to come forward and apply. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:29, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Lost Labyrinth
Position: IRC Contact

I would like to self-nominate myself to be the new IRC contact to replace Duskey. I had previously considered LostInRiverview for the job but per User talk:Lost Labyrinth, I have decided to nominate myself as I do have quite a bit of knowledge with IRC and I am capable with a lot of things that are related to IRC, such as granting user flags (such as op) and maintanance of a channel. 18:15, March 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) Strong Support, I have seen your abilities when it comes to using the IRC, and I think that they are impressive. Your character is always good and you've never insulted or harassed anyone. Since Duskey has left, I think you are the best for being and IRC Contact. |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 17:22, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Strong Support With slight hesitation, since I'm scared of you being powerful. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 17:35, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Strong Support - He is experienced with IRC, and he has proven he is able to do administrative duties, so I trust him :). My best wishes for a good luck on this matter. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:39, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Strong Support - Ѧüя◎ґ 02:41, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Position Granted. As for the technical aspects of "taking over" the channel, you may need to flag down someone from Freenode, since getting a hold of Duskey seems unlikely. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:56, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

DarthCookie
Position: Forum Moderator

I nominate myself, I know I can do the job since I'm not busy at all. I need things to do and this would be perfect, it would give me a chance to be active once again, and give me something real to do. I've read all of the policies before and still remember them. Looking forward to the comments.-- DarthCookie  Talk 10:24, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * While I do think you've done good work here, as I have stated before the position of Forum Moderator will likely require administrator powers, and I am not sure that the Bureaucrats are willing to give them out for this position (but we'll see, won't we?)--  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:28, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

We will see.-- DarthCookie  Talk 09:21, December 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong suuport. She has done such good work, This nomination is a thumbs up by me :), I know you are going to be able to do the job. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:50, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Support You do some really good work on the wiki and I'm sure you would do great work as the forum mod.--thelamppost 20:31, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not sure. I haven't seen you in the forum zone recently, but still, your work is amazing! It is too difficult |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 12:35, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Seeing as you are now a fanon administrator, you do have the administrator powers I was previously discussing. And, seeing no serious opposition, Request Granted. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 03:04, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thelamppost
Position: Ombudsman

I would like to apply to be the ombudsman. I'm friendly and generally non-confrontational and I would like the chance to be a bigger help on the wiki. I am neutral, and would be of help to settle disputes.--thelamppost 19:44, January 15, 2011 (UTC) - Support: I cannot recall any issues regarding past actions or behavior, and you seem to get along with most everyone. I don't think there's a limit on the number of Ombudsman we have, so I don't feel conflicted supporting multiple people. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 03:04, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you would do good as an Ombudsman, good luck, you have my full support.-- DarthCookie  Talk 09:45, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Request Denied: I'm going to hold off on this right now, simply because you are not terribly active at the moment. If your activity picks up, please re-apply -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 03:04, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Sforster123
Position: Ombudsman

I think I am perfect to become an ombudsman as I have good ideas to promote peace. If an argument erupts, I can stop it, and I can log it down, and send it to admins, to pass on so that the right punishments can be applied. If I was to be hired, Wiki would be a happy place.

--Sforster123 11:50, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose Im sorry, after looking at your userpage, history, and contribution, i think you are not qualified for this position. --Wir.wiryawan 11:54, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - You've come from a wikia block. Experience at editing is necessary before requesting. I'm sorry. -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 11:56, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Request denied. Given the start you have made here, I'm sorry to say this but I don't think I can trust you just yet. 13:20, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Lost Labyrinth
Position: Ombudsman

is an active participant on the wiki and has community support for the position of Ombudsman. I am confident that if given the position, he will remain neutral and do the job well. Therefore, I am nominating Lost Labyrinth for the position of Ombudsman. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:18, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the late input, as I have been busy in RL. I accept the nomination. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  14:18, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support. He has, can and will do a great job as Ombudsman. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 19:24, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Neutral. To be honest, I don't know because I haven't seen many "social actions" from Lab you when it comes to disputes, I am really indecisive because I don't know how would be Lab's performance on matters such as disputes, however I think he has made such a great work, it wouldn't bother me if he was "promoted". Thank you for understanding. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:31, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. -
 * My reasoning for nominating him is that he is actually pretty active (check his contributions; he's online almost every day) and in my memory has not been involved in any sort of dispute, has not really ever taken a side one way or another on a major controversial issue. Not many of us, myself included, can claim that. That alone is not reason enough to give someone a position, I agree, but GGs behavior here has been nothing if not exemplary, and there is no reason to think that he would not maintain neutrality. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:07, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm... good observation, Lost, taking no side is good, you are right but I don't think submission is all that good, you can have a opinions but express them in a neutral way and I don't know if it is that what he does... I may change my position but I would like more input here. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:20, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Support from Bleeh.

Another point is that users already ask him for help, and he helps them every time they ask. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 12:51, December 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I am now a bureaucrat, I will be pulling my formal nomination. However, if someone else would like to adopt the nomination of Lost Labyrinth, please post below and we can consider this matter further. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 03:04, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

DanPin
I'd like to apply to the special position of Ombudsman here in The Sims Wiki. I am very active in the community, being almost every day in the IRC Channel. I don't have a lot of edits, but I have a good relation with most members of the community and I want to make this Wiki a better place! DanPin ( Talk ) 18:05, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support He has been a very good contributor, and I trust him. I wish you a good luck. (: -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 20:38, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support DanPin is a trusted user among most. I don't have much to say, but I believe he will be eligible for the position.  Nikel  Talk  11:50, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support We better not have an admin for this position, and DanPin is one of the most trusted contributors we have. He has never been warned or blocked before, and he doesn't get into drama. So, I support. |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 17:12, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Approved.

Cody Robertson
User:Cody Robertson I'd like to apply for the forum moderator position on this wiki. I have a facebook, twitter, and a sims3.com account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cody Robertson (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * Strong Oppose This position is reserved for Administrators only, due to the nature of the work required. Please read the requirement first before you apply a position!
 * I will move it to closed request because you just join this wiki and your first edit is this page. Im sure bureaucrat will denied your request. Wir.wiryawan 17:22, November 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * What Wir said. 18:20, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

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!

Devdevdev
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)
