Forum:Adminship Request - Gheart

I am an active member of The Vault and would love to become an Admin, I have been on the Vault since July of last year.

Reasons
I am a member who always checks everything an Anonymous User does. I also nominate pages for deletion, and as a Vault Admin, I would be able to delete pages as soon as I see them. I could also be able to ban the ones who feel the need to vandalize The Vault.

As an Admin I would also be able to not only be able to watch Anonymous Users, but all recent changes, making sure to check for any spelling mistakes, or anything else. I would be swift and just, not only that, I would also like to start on larger projects, and help greatly improve the Vault.

Qualifications
I have played Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas. I also plan to start playing Fallout, and Fallout 2.

Contributions
I do anything that needs to be done on The Vault, by far my largest project was to resize most if not all of the Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas Perks with 190px. I also watch out for misspelling, or anything else. I will always do my best to post the accurate information.

Discussion
I'm not an admin, but I still would like to display my approval of this user becoming an admin. Good luck.67SunsetStrip 22:40, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

I have taken some time to browse through your edits and though in general they are good edits, they mainly consist out of easy 1 or 2 line changes. You feel the resizing of the New Vegas perks is a large project; I do not. You have been working at it for only 2 days and the edits were simple. You have not really been noticed by administrators or bureaucrats for your good work (till yesterday) and not been given rollback rights. In my opinion, for to be applying for adminship you have to at least those rights. And another thing, you have not continuously been active for 3 months, which ia a requirement. Ok, member since July, but active (and with a little too many gaps to my likings till now) since the game came out, 20 October. Saying that you can delete pages as soon as you see them as an admin is too easy to say. You'll have to do better than that should you care for my vote. It would have been better if you had waited another month or so and had shown you're willing to go the extra mile for the wiki, so for example getting yourself involved in a project. Well, this is how I see it, hope you do something with it. Jspoelstra 22:47, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

You haven't really said what you'd add to the vault as an admin, sure, you've kept an eye on a few anons, but you should also be checking reg-users work. Hell, even admins make mistakes (although rare, it happens. I think...). Add more to WHY you should be an admin. As above said, a few to many gaps in your being 'activeness', now, I'm not sure this is true, but there's still much more work you could do. Try sorting through all the merge stuff, I started a while bacck, but never got far (did A and some of B I think). You may be worthy of rollback rights, but I think it's a bit soon for Admin, good luck, but you just havn't won me over. 22:57, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice from you both, I would love it if you would help me out with picking projects and what I can do to improve the vault. Thank you Gheart 00:04, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Us bureaucrats stay out of the voting, but I'd like to clarify a couple things.


 * 1) Gaining rollback priviliges is not prerequisite for adminship application. Not everyone who "deserves" rollback gets it. It's more a matter of need and timing than a recognition of participation.
 * 2) Gheart has been noticed (at least by me).
 * I'll leave the rest of the discussion up to the community. Just wanted things to be clear. Cheers.--Gothemasticator 05:13, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Gothemasticator :) Gheart 18:36, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, Gheart does have rollback rights now. Ausir(talk) 04:59, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Ausir :) Gheart 15:59, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ordinarily, I'd prefer it if you had a few more edits. However, I've been watching you for a few days, and I haven't seen anything that gives me pause. Hal10k(Leonard Bernstein!) 02:45, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

I haven't been here long enough to know what the expectations are for someone applying to be an admin, hence the abstention. But you've been an effective monitor from what I've read, and I find the reasoning of your detractors above unpersuasive. Minor Edits 03:21, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Result
A little late (as usual), but due to the mixed feedback I'm going to deny the request. Don't let that discourage you though; you can always try again in a little while :) -- Porter21 (talk) 23:22, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
