Battlefield Wiki:Requests for Adminship

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Users that wish to become an administrator or bureaucrat need to go through a process known as a Request for Adminship (RfA). This process assesses the suitability of a user for the additional rights, tools and responsibilities, and gives the community a chance to voice their opinions on whether a user is suitable for the role in question.

You may nominate yourself or another editor (must have their consent) by following the instructions below.

This procedure does not apply to trusted user/rollback rights. To apply for these, please simply ask a bureaucrat.

How it Works

 * Click the Add topic button at the top (near the page title)
 * Add   (source mode) and click publish
 * Text will appear in the new section - edit it, filling in the required information in section 1 where prompted. When done, click publish.
 * An admin will then also fill in the required statistics in section 2
 * Other users will then be able to comment and vote on the nomination
 * After 7 days, the nomination will either be declared successful or unsuccessful and appropriate action taken

Nominations and Voting Rules

 * Voting is conducted in accordance with BF:VOTE
 * To vote, you must have at least 20 mainspace edits and have been here for over 1 month (to prevent multiple account abuse, any suspect accounts will be IP verified). Any ineligible votes will be struck-out and ignored.
 * You should not request admin status unless you have 500 mainspace edits and been here for over 3 months. If you do, it will be immediately rejected and moved straight to the archives. Be advised that meeting these requirements will not necessarily guarantee success.
 * You may only become a bureaucrat if you are already an administrator.

Upon being concluded, nominations will be archived to Battlefield Wiki:Requests for Adminship/Archive

1: Statements

 * If you are nominating somebody else on their behalf, fill in section 1.1. The nominee should then complete section 1.2.
 * If you are nominating yourself, ignore 1.1 and only complete 1.2

1.1: Nominator's Statement
Everyone knows Pedro Right? I'd say even though Maxwell has recently became admin but In my opinion, I think he is ready, should the Wiki feel like it's time then all I can say is that He would develop this Wiki to new heights/steps Zephalian (  Talk  ) 09:49, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nomination accepted. Thanks for it :) -Pedro9basket (talk) [ TrustRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png ]

1.2: Nominee's Statement
(This section should only be completed by the nominee)

If a user is nominated by another user, the nominee must accept the nomination. Briefly summarize why you think you are suitable for the role of an administrator. You may also wish to consider the following questions when writing your statement:
 * 1) How often do you visit and how often do you edit? Do you anticipate your activity levels changing in the foreseeable future?
 * 2) When you visit, what do you typically do (eg. edit, read, check the forums/blogs, check recent changes, upload images) and which pages do you mainly edit (eg. Articles, Forums, Blogs, Templates, Talks, Images, User)? If you were made an admin, would either of these change?
 * I tend to visit the Wiki every day (except exam timelines, kind of like right now :P). My main namespace has been Mainspace for a while, workin on revamps on pages through my ".txt" works offline and in my sandbox, so that I could showcase all articles set in one piece in one edit, having the best efficiency possible on it. I also review the majority of the mainspace articles to see if they always meet the criteria in BF:CLASS, and either change it, nominate it for Bronze/Silver/Gold or tag them for Deletion, getting to use once the Unclassified category through URL.
 * If I get to admin, I'll work on a bigger dedication on the Wiki's mainspace (finishing articles that I'm still working on, etc.), as well as start a review of the files uploaded to the wiki, taking attention on the licensing of each of them (kind of like Bond and SSD did in the past).
 * I have all said, it's down now to the Wiki's community to say their thoughts. :) -Pedro9basket (talk) [ TrustRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png ] 14:22, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

2: Statistics
The following is for an admin to add:


 * As of January 1, 2011 (This should be set to reflect when the statistics were added. The statistics should only be updated if a major change occurs)


 * Total edits: 3674 (Using Special:Editcount)
 * Of which 655 (17.83%) are in the mainspace
 * Of which 2451 (66.7%) are in private spaces (This is the number and percentage of edits in 'non-useful' areas - blogs, blog comments and your userpage. This allows us to see the number that aren't namespace, but are still 'useful' - files, templates, project pages, etc.)


 * Total file uploads: ~75 (Using Special:Log - Just a rough estimate, there's no way of stating precisely without counting manually)
 * Upload rating: (The admin compiling the statistics should take a brief glance through the nominees uploads, then based on the amount that have been deleted, that are improperly licensed and that are of poor quality, give a rough rating, eg. Bad, Poor, Average, Good, Excellent, etc. Please also leave a comment explaining this rating)
 * Good - Most images are of good quality, few have been deleted, and almost all of them were properly licensed.


 * Total blocks: 0 (Using Special:Log)
 * Totalling a block time of 0 hours


 * Active since: March 29, 2011 (according to userpage header)

3: Voting

 * Weak Oppose--While Pedro's actions are commendable. However I think this wiki has enough Admins.-- Mobius_patch.png Slopijoe HangarsMobius_patch.png
 * Support - Frankly, we need another admin right now. Maxwell and I are rather sporadic in our activity, DG's not that active, leaving only Yuri who is active, alongside PE as a b'crat. So, in light of this, And the fact that we've been saying that Pedro'd be the next logical choice, I give my support to his nomination. Also, Zeph... vote. - 16:07, March 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Very weak support - I was rather torn on this one. Unlike HP, I never stated, either explicitly or implicitly, that you would get the next admin slot; in fact, I had an order as to who would be nominated (I was discussing it with HP a while back, if he remembers, on BLog), and my feelings were that 3R should get it, and then you. This is exacerbated by the hugely disproportionate edit percentages and edit count; close to 2/3rds of your edits are in the "useless" spaces, and that doesn't normally bode well for any attempt at adminship. Additionally, one of my big concerns is your activity; more than once I've had people tell me you troll (or perhaps, trolled) the CoD wiki, and I've seen you can be rather harsh and can be verbally abusive towards other users on the wiki. However, HP does bring up an important point, and that's the lack of active administrators (contrary to what Tywin says, there's legitimately only two active admins, as HP said; DG, CruzDude, Bond, SSD, and Richtofen are all inactive, while HP and Maxwell are both rather sporadic. In the words of SSD, I am of the opinion that anybody who deserves adminship should get it). Soon, BF3 DLCs and such are going to be released, and we will need more admins. And even in spite of how I've seen you act, you know, understand, and follow the policies very amicably. You've also been a good friend. All in all, I'm supporting your bid for adminship. On that note, I'm probably going to nominate 3R for adminship at some point today or tomorrow. Йура [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 16:28, March 7, 2012 (UTC)
