Lonely Turret is an admin.... Wha.......... How...... He seems like a person that always complaining and swearing. Just as much as PikminGuy101.....[[User:Pikifan4|Pikifan4]] ([[User talk:Pikifan4|talk]]) 12:30, 8 February 2016 (EST)

==Nominations==
I nominate myself. I am very familiar with the tools, being an administrator and bureaucrat over at the Kirby Wikia and an administrator at the Pikmin Fanon Wiki. I also am a patroller over at Mario Wiki. I have been here for over a year, and even though I may have been a bit rash at times, I believe I will make a good admin.

:I nominate GameFreak75. And just so you know, I have no intention of running- yet.[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 07:23, 27 September 2010 (EDT)
I nominate myself. I check the recent changes most every day and monitor current discussions,as well as check out suspicious IP edits. I can help with articles in the [[:Category:To be deleted|To be deleted category]] and can be trusted with the additional powers of an admin. I am familiar with mediawiki editing as well as html and image editing. I try to see both sides in discussions and arguments, and I have recently become an admin on Pikcanon-NOT. Vote for me- {{User:Volatile Dweevil/TextSig}}
I nominate myself. Because I can. Yeah... [[User:Miles|Miles]] 17:53, 27 September 2010 (EDT)
* I nominate myself, because I have been with this wiki for a long time, am relatively mature and calm, and have a fair knowledge of mediawiki. I think I am very articulate and cordial. {{User:IAMAHIPO_ocolor/sig}} 18:07, 27 September 2010 (EDT)
I nominate myself. I check the recent changes list for both Pikipedia and Pikcanon-NOT very frequently, I'm almost always on it. While on it I check every edit made since I've last seen the list, excluding trusted editors like Green, Vol, etc. I'm also the head admin on Pikcanon-NOT, and in addition I run our inter-wiki forums. I've been a member on Pikipedia for a year now, and admittedly haven't done a whole lot. However I've taken the time to learn Mediawiki code,  proper admin etiquette, and many other things from Green and Prez. And if it helps any I'm the student-body vice-president at my school, so I'm good with problem solving and leadership skills.

I would like to nominate myself. I do not mean to be concieted, but I doubt anyone here will nominate anyone but themselves. (Please prove me wrong) I HATE it when people are biased, so I will do my best to not be opinianated but factual. I would like to be an administrator, not only for the respect, but to be an example. I've seen how Green and CL worked to improve Pikipeidia, and I would like to do the same. I have been here for at least a year, if not two, and I have seen the unforgivable and forgivable vandal edits. I watch the recent changes list for suspicous edits (Ex: Those that lack a summary.) with constant vigilence. However, I will admit that I am not an expert at coding. Contrastingly, I notice errors in grammer quickly, and I know how to make corrections to improve clarity. In addition, I am a grade ahead in math and science in high school, with logic and reasoning and memory being my two strongest mental skills. All in all, I want to improve this wiki, and help lead and control the inevitable chaos that will follow the release of Pikmin 3.

I am going to nominate Sir Pikmin. He is the best person for the job, and I will vote for him when the time comes. I mean, look how much he helped us improve Pikmin Fanon. Without him, my jumping ahead to conclusions would go unchanged. I don't think I am the person for the job. I am too busy with school and Pikmin Fanon. I am even going to write a book. I might put it on Pikmin Fanon. If I'm allowed to. -[[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]] ([[User Talk:Peanut64|Talk]])

Wait were we supposed to vote in the nominations area?[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 17:35, 27 September 2010 (EDT)
We aren't voting until the nominations close. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}
Based on his performance in chat, let's not vote for Hippo. Please. [[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 18:10, 27 September 2010 (EDT)
:... No need to spread libel. We were simply having a discussion about religion, and I am sorry if my atheism offended you... {{User:IAMAHIPO_ocolor/sig}} 16:40, 29 September 2010 (EDT)
Why? He still can manage administrative tools, can he not? {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}
Yeah, you shouldn't not vote for someone just because of their activity in chat. It doesn't mean that their not actually a person that can be responsible. I've seen Hippo do good in the recent changes at the old Pikipedia, and he is a strong candidate for the new admin.{{User:Sir Pikmin/sig}}
It seems to me that this is going to be a tough vote - There are lots of good users on Pikipedia. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}
Wait... If Miles and Hippo aren't admins, why are their user pages protected???

No, it's good, I was actually surprised that wikia never implemented that feature. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}

:Ridly, it's impossible not to be biased. You will be biased no matter what you do, it's just a question of you noticing it and self-controlling it.

::Thank you. That was suprisingly deep. And yes, I will be slightly, biased, but in terms of thinking I tend to follow the path of Spock and use logic. So yes, Im biased for logic.
