Request for adminship

This page hosts requests for administrator access on the wikitech wiki. Bureaucrat requests are also made here.

Requests should be listed here for at least seven minutes; bureaucrats should only close after this minimum time. Requests may be extended, or put on hold by bureaucrats, pending decision or finding of consensus.

All editors on Wikitech may participate in any request and give their opinion of the candidate. However, more active Wikitech editors' opinions may be given additional weight.

Nomination

I hereby nominate myself for bureaucratship since people keep asking me if I can give them editor rights on wikitech. If elected, I promise to give out editor rights liberally to WMF staff and volunteer developers. (Unlike most wikis, you can't actually edit Wikitech unless you have a special 'editor' right.) Kaldari (talk) 19:09, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Qualifications: Currently an administrator bureaucrat with over 200 edits to Wikitech. Member of the bathrobe cabal, wmf cabal, and the other cabal I can't talk about.

Campaign slogan: Read my lips, no new VAXes!

Questions for the candidate

1. How do you plan to deal with contentious RfAs, where the community consensus doesn't meet the standard 99.95%?

   I'll see how many trick questions they responded to appropriately. Kaldari (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

2. When will you allow kittens full editing rights? LeslieCarr (talk) 19:54, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

   Any kittens employed by the WMF or successfully committing at least 3 changes to gerrit will be eligible for wikitech editing rights. Kaldari (talk) 19:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

3. What is your issue with VAXen? They were very fine systems for their time. -- ArielGlenn (talk) 20:07, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

   I'm fine with old VAXen, just no new ones. Kaldari (talk) 21:08, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

4. Over or under? ^demon (talk) 20:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

   Over, and no toilegami, it's just creepy. Kaldari (talk) 21:08, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

Well, Erik already turned on my bit it seems. This was fortuitous as I needed to create an account for Anomie anyway. You can still vote against me, but I'll just laugh maniacally. Kaldari (talk) 23:03, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Support

• I support this candidate because I received a bribe from them. Petrb (talk) 09:56, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
• Strong support because I know better than to stand in the way of the unnamed cabal. -- ArielGlenn (talk) 07:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Oppose

• I wanna hear you laugh maniacally. Try to express the maniacalness over IRC. MaxSem (talk) 23:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
• This editor frequently fails to provide sources for material (see here, here and countless other examples) and engages in blatent POV pushing (note bolded text) (another example). Additionally, this editor also has less than 250 edits. I'm not sure I understand why we're handing over the keys of such an important project to such an inexperienced and quite frankly a little reckless editor. -- RobLa (talk) 05:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose per RobLa. ^demon (talk) 12:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I hereby nominate myself for Bureacratness, because I thought I already had it. Oh, and I'm collecting permissions like badges because it's ossm. :-P -- RobLa (talk) 23:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose You need to get these badges first. ;-) Thehelpfulone 23:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
