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'll let this sit for a little while to give others a chance to comment, but I'm good with it. Dharden (talk) 20:07, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Dharden. Everyone, please remember that I will answer any questions you wish to ask me. Thanks! --BobNewbie ^{talk • blog} 20:15, 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. GEORGIEGIBBONS ^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. [Ѧüя◎ґ] 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)

Open Requests

GEORGIEGIBBONS

Position: Ombudsman

GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk · contribs · editcount · block · modify rights · logs · block log) 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 GEORGIEGIBBONS for the position of Ombudsman. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 19:18, December 19, 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 Georgie you when it comes to disputes, I am really indecisive because I don't know how would be Georgie'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)

Neutral, as I haven't seen GeorgieGibbons, really solve any issues. I actually haven't seen him edit at all recently, or, that just may be me. I do support him, since an able and competent admin nominated him. [Ѧüя◎ґ]
