I'm in weak support of this request. I believe there were some edit warring/reverting and images issues in the past, and while they were in the past, they were pretty big issues. Also, I don't believe that Mate has participated in many community discussions lately, an important way to be connected to the community. That caused me to think lesser about this request. However, Mate is a good editor and contributes consistently and regularly to the main namespace, which is what ultimately turned my thoughts from opposing this request to (very) weakly supporting it. ~ [[User:Waikikamukow|<font color="6a2286">Waikikamukow</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Waikikamukow|<font color="00b0f4">Anyone wanna chat?</font>]])</small> 07:59, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
This RfA is one of those situations where it's hard to express a simple opinion on the matter so I'll just list off my thoughts as bullet points:
*This self-nomination doesn't really explain why you want or need to be an admin other than that you're active and competent at editing. While these are good traits to have, it doesn't say much, if anything, about your need for the sysop tools. These traits can honestly apply to any experienced user.
*I still feel that at times you can get yourself into unnecessary situations [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Mate1234#Please_seek_administrator_approval.21 like you did here]. While I do agree that the whole fiasco with images and edit warring should be pushed aside, it does come up when users are questioning each other's actions. I'm not saying that whole thing was entirely your fault but the fact that it escalated to the level that it did was ridiculous - and you did play a major part in it.
*You don't really use your rollback button much, as Beds stated. While you do revert vandalism, albeit with the Undo button, I can't really see why you would need more tools when you don't really take advantage of the tools you've already got.
Criticisms aside, you are a competent and efficient editor and I do see you as an asset to the wiki. I'm not outright opposing your RfA but I'd like for you to try and get more involved with the community, particularly [[TSW:CD|community discussions]] as Waikikamukow said, take advantage of the tools you already have and just try to be a little bit more level headed. Being bold shows you have courage, which is another good trait, but being bold can only go so far. If you at least make an effort to take my advice into account then I'm very happy to support you next time around. {{LabSig}} 12:23, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
