Editing Forum:New admin (again)

I'll close nominations later, depending on how quickly they come in, and then voting will commence as before. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

==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 myself. Because I can. Yeah... [[User:Miles|Miles]] 17:53, 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.

==Discussion==

Wait were we supposed to vote in the nominations area?[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 17:35, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

Based on his performance in chat, let's not vote for Hippo. Please. [[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 18:10, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

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}}

Wait... If Miles and Hippo aren't admins, why are their user pages protected???  

Is that a bad thing? '''[[User:Ridly|<span style="color:darkBlue;">Ridly</span>]]  <small>^{[[User Talk:Ridly|<span style="color:darkslateblue">Roar!</span>]]}</small>''' 21:39, 27 September 2010 (EDT)

:They have also implemented a new feature here which allows you to check if a user is a sockpuppet oor not, instead of going to wikia staff and asking them to check user for you. --[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]]

::::::Put someone in power. We need someone  who will enforce rules fairly, and right now I only trust myself to do that. We need someone who thinks about the group as a whole and will act on that groups decision, whether the admin thinks that is right or wrong.

:Well, I ''would'' vote for GP in that case, Ridly, but....[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 07:12, 29 September 2010 (EDT)

if you have absolutely nobody else choose me, the only guy mysterious enough to try to put a bloody rose in his sig.

:Yeah, nominations have slowed down.  I think (most) contributions are preserved, but editcount is broken, yeah.  I'll give links for the old wiki too.  Also, the idea was for the nomination to be the place for any sort of speech-ish thing, but if anyone wants to add anything, go on. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

::@ Green: Ive written a speech, should I put it in a new section called speeches? Or should each User make a new section for their speech?

:::Well, if we're expecting everyone to have a chance to do this, they'll need a few more days.  I'd say add it (or edit it into) your existing nomination.  This page is just to get the information: I'll make it more presentable and navigable for the voting. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
