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

Nomination

I, K6ka, would like to nominate Joey.eyeball (talk · contribs · editcount · block · modify rights · logs · block log) for administratorship.

Joseph's been an amazing contributor to The Sims Wiki. He gets along fairly well with other editors and is online regularly, aside from the occasional WikiBreak that we all need. Being a rollbacker already proves that he can be entrusted with dangerous tools. Looking at his userpage, he also has "Become an administrator" as one of his goals. I think now would be appropriate to take those steps. K6ka (talk | contribs) 03:17, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

I gladly accept! Thank you very much for nominating me, K6ka. It feels weird to be complimented like this and I just hope that the bureaucrats agree. Joey.eyeball (talk) 03:26, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

Just a note, Joey. Bureaucrats aren't the only ones who will determine the outcome of this nomination. Anyone can actually get involved here, so please don't get the wrong impression of us bureaucrats. :)

I'll be honest that I'm not giving strong support on this request. Joey has been a very active member in this wiki, and his number of edits is remarkable. However, his scope of edits is more less in fixing Sim infoboxes but largely minor. He's been participating in several discussions, which I think is a good point, but I feel like he still has much to learn in the wiki. He's still a valuable member of this wiki, though.

I try not to take someone's personality into consideration when voicing my opinion on these nominations, but in this case I think I would be remiss if I didn't. I have no doubt that Joseph is a competent editor in most ways, and is able to learn where he may be lacking. My issue is primarily with what seems to be his immaturity or naivete about certain things. I have concerns that he may take an action without thinking it through completely, or say something without considering what effect his words may have. I suspect that he may be of a younger age (although I try not to judge based on a person's age) and it sometimes shows in what he says or how he responds to certain things. I know that he means well and he certainly never acts in bad faith, and he is an asset to the wiki. But, at present, I unfortunately cannot support this nomination. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 06:35, January 30, 2014 (UTC)

In all fairness, Joseph, you are a great contributor and member of the wiki and I applaud you for your excellent contributions to the wiki. You voice your opinion in community discussions, which is an important part for any user who wishes to become an administrator. However, I simply must agree with both what Nikel23 and LiR has said. Your contributions are sometimes quite minor, mostly based on adding information Sim3 infoboxes and I feel that you should make more larger edits, as you so call it. I must also agree with LiR on the theory of taking action without thinking. I too have been judged on this matter and my first attempt to administrator was declined, due to this matter. I just feel that you should improve a little bit before you move up the ladder. But, you must remember, that you are a great member of the community. Therefore, I cannot support this nomination. Sorry. Beds ^{(parlare - da leggere)} 11:50, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
