Forum:Adminship request - Nemerian

Recently people have been posting requests to ban vandals and other admin related requests to me. I have redirected these posts to the true admins yet these posts keep coming. Because of this, i would like to post this request of adminship for myself.

I have been with the Vault since February this year (2011), have made well over one-thousand edits, and have never requested to become an admin.

Please post here. Thank you!(Nemerian 00:14, May 8, 2011 (UTC))

No I think this is my first no. You truly haven't shown experience. Being wary of vandals and having a high edit count is one thing, but to say you are ready to be an admin about three months after joining is a bit to much. You haven't even seen enough admin requests to know that you are supposed to put your amount of edits on this request. On top of that further, there are those who have been here for years, have five times the edits as you, and are still not appointed this post. TO put it simply, give it some time, you have potential, but as of yet, you have not proven yourself. Sombar1 05:20, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

No, come on dude not exactly the greatest sales pitch here, bit more work and you might get my vote, but with this pitch it just seems as if you want to be an admin, but cant quite be bothered to make the effort. user:ziplobthud pop the zip 05:31, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Minimum requirements state that being active on the wiki for at least three months and having at least 500 edits (which are not talk pages, blogs, or forums), so if Nemerian meets those requirements then I have no problem with him requesting. However, I have seen some questionable edits on some pages from Nemerian before, so I'm abstaining from this vote. Great Mara 07:45, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yes I think he had made a lot of edits. Some are minor though. As long as he'll be an active admin not inactive admin, I'll say yes. -James Jr 12:04, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I share the same opinion as Great Mara. Your edits are good though, and I know you do it in good faith. gears of duty

No No offense to you at all, but I have had to revert your edits several times as they can occasionally be of the pointless or questionable variety. This is something you will not see from an admin, and judging by the other votes you lack somewhat in the experience department (also proven by these strange edit practices). --User Avatar talk.png 20:05, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

No Your a great contributor and do a good job but its a little soon to become an admin. Just keep up the good work and request this further down the road and I'm sure you'll get it. Also work on your pitch, the next time you make a request for this be sure to give good reasons as to how and why you'd be better as an admin and not just try to get it cause you have a lot of edits.--Ramallah 21:48, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

No Sorry dude, but all you've done is say "people think I'm an admin" which isn't really enough. Give it another couple of months, and we'll see how you do. If not at admin standard by then, you may be roll back worthy. Be part of a project or something. 21:53, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

No Sure, you have reported some vandals and made a couple good edits, but that's it. I don't think you've been on The Vault long enough to provide that extra something that would improve The Vault in the long run. And just because you have 2,000 edits, it doesn't necessarily mean that you know how things work here. Hell, I've got 2.5x the edits of you and even I don't know how things works some of the times. Sorry, man. Hopefully, this doesn't botch your vote for me when I apply. Kastera(talk) 00:32, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

No I've never voted no on any of these, I feel like such an a-hole. But you see, I'm a debater, and one thing I value in a person is the ability to make a good argument. This is what you haven't done, it was just 'yo, I made a lot of edits, admin me.' And reporting vandals? I've done that, anyone can do that, it just doesn't work as a qualification. Sorry man, build up your experience a little more, and come up with a better pitch. Best, FinalWish

No You have only recently joined the wiki and should wait till you have built up a better understanding of the site and have contributed as the other admins have BigDogW 02:00, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

No Come on bro, you're not going to become an Admin just by having a high edit count and reporting vandals, and from what I can tell from others is that you simply don't have the experience to be an admin. Maybe if you get a little more experience under your belt and you make some useful edits you might make it until then my vote is a no. Sorry EB683

Yes I'll vote yes to cheer you up, but you need to work more to gain your rights. --YakovFrolov 02:52, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

No I say no. My reasons are a combination of Cartman! and ziplobthud's remarks. TrailerParkApe TPA 21:53, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Yes You have made many positive contributions to the wiki, and your reporting of vandals is a vital sevice to the vault. Bobbyb373

No It's too soon, Nemerian. On the day you reached the three-month membership mark you apply and that's just a little too eager to my likings. In my opinion it would have been better if you had waited a month or 2, get some more good edits (maybe join a project?) and also would work on your approach toward other editors. An admin needs to be a bit more 'professional' when communicating with others. For example, you call me dude. Would I be a regular user, I wouldn't like to be called dude by an admin. Besides that, you haven't done your homework well. Adminship requests should be written with care, contain an editcount table and a list of your major contributions. It seems you haven't bothered yourself with checking out something that important. It's absolutely true that you've been a good vandal-reporter, but you need to work on some things, and then give it another try. Well, that's how I feel about it anyway.

No What games have you played and what knowledge do you bring to the table? More information please Agent c 23:26, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Like others have said, you don't really make a convincing argument here. BILLYOCEAN 02:28, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

No You have the potential to be a admin, just not at the present time (kinda like a diamond in the rough). Going forward I would suggest becoming more familiar with the wiki itself and not the content, otherwise you are on the right path. A couple more months and I am sure my vote will change to a yes.

Discussion
Yes, he has a lot of edits, but he has only been here a couple of months and has yet to show us anything major. I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve this position, I just he doesn't deserve it yet, and as soon as he contributes something major, such as a well-needed project or something of the sort, he does not require to be an Admin. I even had to set up this discussion, and he doesn't, on his request, have the list of his edits, which is required, and thus he isn't showing professionalism that Admins are required to show.

Result
Based on the feedback and votes I'll have to decline the request. I'm sure that if you address the concerns of the community you'll have a better chance should you decide to make a second request :) -- Porter21 (talk) 09:54, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
