Pokémon Wiki:Requests for User Rights

This is the page where users can request Administrator and Rollback rights and vote on other users who are requesting rights. Please read the following regulations and instructions completely before voting or placing a request.

In the event that an Administrator or Rollback is being unruly or breaking the rules, a request for their demotion may be placed below in the Requests for demotion header. The same voting rules apply for this as well. The vote totals required for their demotion remain the same as those for promotions as well.

Before you post your request, the administration asks that you read this blog so that you know what conditions an admin must undergo.

When you add a comment or a vote, please do not use word bubbles, as the numbering will get messed up. If word bubbles are used, it will have the template coding removed to regular coding and the unsigned template will be used in place of a signature.

Jello Rabbit (administrator)
Jello Rabbit (talk): Contributions Edit Count

Support

 * 1) I support Jello Rabbit, who is a fully qualified User and helps the Wiki out by editing a lot. Young, but he is an expert. Plus, he's a Rollback come PokePower Member. He also have 3,000+ edits, technically more than the Users who have been nominated, yes, even more than Evanf. He also has made several constructive edits. --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 11:49, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm favoring Jello, why you ask? He edits game related articles (which is the majority of what I edit) and he's expanded and unstubbed many of them. SapphireWave (talk) 12:53, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I am supporting Jello Rabbit because i believe and see that he has edited a lot and contributed a lot since he first came here. He helped and edited a lot of articles so i am in support. --AdventureWriter28 (talk) 13:08, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I support Jello Rabbit, there are several reasons to back up my opinion, Jello works hard, I've never heard Jello being mean or obnoxious, all the edits Jello makes are in good faith. As Arceus stated he has the Rollback ability and Jello is in PokePower. He contributes quite a bit apparently or at least as much as possible and that's doing something called making an effort which other users have done too - I'm not favouriting Jello, but backing up my opinion. --Hstar (talk) 11:35, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I'm staying Neutral. Jello still has a lot to learn about editing, but he's continuously getting better. If I see a huge improvement over the next week, I will change my vote, easily. --Bullet Francisco (talk)
 * 2) I don't really know this user. I havn't talked to him until he asked me to vote for him, so I will stay neutral. Until he becomes more social and improves his editing style, I will vote in his favor. --Technology Wizard (talk) 16:34, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Because he needs to learn ALOT about editing, and he is always priving for power. (Check Crimsonnavy's Most 2 recent talk archives. --Evanf (talk)

Comments

 * 1) Thanks for the nomination and thinking i'm a good editor. I try to do what I can. I might nominate you sometime soon... --Jello Rabbit (talk)
 * 2) @Felectrify: First of all, why are you asking for adminship if you think Jello Rabbit has "just joined"? Secondly, he's old enough to apply, or however this wiki asks for adminship. Oppose it or whatever, just because he opposed yours. >.< --Bermuda (talk) 21:40, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) @Bermuda: Felectrify is asking for rollback, not adminship. --Crimsonnavy (talk) 21:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) That's something I've missed. ^.^ Anyways, if asking for rollback rights, it's still a special privilege so there's some requirements that should go with it. :P And where does one apply for rollback anyways. (No I don't plan to have special rights here; far too busy elsewhere ^.^) --Bermuda (talk) 21:52, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I think the vote on oppose should be disqualified. Just because I oppose your request doesn't mean you go back at me. Can I disqualify the vote seeing that it doesn't count just because I opposed Felectrify's rollback vote. --Jello Rabbit (talk)
 * 6) @Bermuda: Anyone should just ask me, I will give them the rights if they deserve them. --Crimsonnavy (talk) 22:05, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Priving for power?! Thats outrageous! Jello, would, never do that. Stop personally attacking, Evanf, or I'll oppose you for this act of personally attacking and insulting Users. --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 14:06, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Actually Arceus, when Jello first came here, he was constantly asking for sysop. BUT, he has definately changed, Jello has become one of our most useful contributers. --Bullet Francisco (talk
 * 9) "Priving" isn't even a word. --Crimsonnavy (talk) 19:03, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

AdventureWriter28 (administrator)
AdventureWriter28 (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I know that im the most unlikely candidate from the start but i have the experience and knowledge needed to be an admin. I've been an admin on another wiki and i know how to be an admin and i know my limits if i ever be an admin here. I also never flamed or got angry with other users because i believe it will lead to nothing, that's why i only get serious on most situations. I know this is short but sometimes short words express a lot. --AdventureWriter28 (talk) 08:06, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) AdventureWriter28 or AW28 - The Manga Girl... AdventureWriter has put into a lot of effort into filling Pokemon Wiki with manga articles. I think she ought to be rewarded by sysop promotion for this. Plus, she's a PokePower Member come Leader of Project Manga. --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 12:03, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Yes! What a good faith editor ;) who is kind, friendly, and started Project Manga, a good PokePower project. --Jello Rabbit (talk)
 * 3) Yes! she's made almost every Pokemon Adventures page. she's also a very kind person. --Amyroselove (talk)
 * 4) Awsome, you would be perfect as an admin  20:08, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) +1! Very nice editor that could use the rights. :) --Technology Wizard (talk) 05:59, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Perfect! You should really be admin! You've put a lot of effort into editing with the articles. I think she should be rewarded with those rights :) Mizuki Raimon (talk) 07:37, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I know neutrals are basically like "blah" but I don't know enough about you to correctly judge. --BassJapas (talk) 23:02, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Same as above. Also I'd like to see more activity if you were to become admin. SapphireWave (talk) 23:14, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I think that rollback would be a more suitable position for you. I'm not entirely sure on what you would do with admin powers. Plus, you've been a little inactive as of late. Can you tell me what you would do with your admin powers, and if you've had any experience with them in the Comments section of your nomination? If you give me good reasons for your adminship, I'd be more than happy to say yes. Until then, I'm keeping my vote like this. Like I said, I think Rollback would be more suitable for you. I hope you didn't take that offensively, because I can and will change my vote if you provide more activity, and proof of experience.--Bullet Francisco (talk) 23:09, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) @Bullet Francisco: I'm sorry for inactivity for sometime, classes are starting soon and my internet is getting slower. Anyways though you asked what i will do with admin powers....Well first of all no one is much online during the time most users are asleep, and since i live at the other side of time border line, i can see what's happening during that time, that's why i can guard the wiki during that time. As for proof of experience, I've been an admin on the Inazuma Eleven Wiki and checking always for recent happenings there, i also inform users of some stuff they need to know like the licensing of photos by making a blog of it. Also you can check my overall total edits. Anyways i leave the decision to you. AdventureWriter28 (talk)
 * 2) @BassJapas and SapphireWave: I understand and respect your decision. AdventureWriter28 (talk)

BassJapas (administrator)
BassJapas (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I haven't been around for the longest. I technically joined in December, but started consistently editing in late April. I have experience as an admin on other wikis. I know how this wiki runs. I'm on nearly 24/7, with the exception of sleep and school, but I am on the site when I have computer time at school. I've helped a lot with mark up, and still have a lot to do which I've been working on a lot as of late. I'm good with CSS and MediaWiki pages. I made the Monobook skin, and being an admin would be a major benefit because I would be able to edit the pages instead of giving the code to an admin to add in. It'd also be greatly beneficial since there's an image in the Monobook.css that needs to be uploaded and replace my image wiki's code in the CSS.

I'm eight edits away from 1,500 edits, I'm currently at 1,492, and 1,094 of those edits are mainspace edits. I'm able to do great work with images since I have photoshop and I can remove the background in .jpg images and reupload them as .png and then delete the previous .jpg images.

I know how to block and what to check off when I make a blcok. I know how to move a page without creating a redirect, unless the redirect is needed. And I know how to delete the pages, along with the talk pages and clear out all the links to it. I also clean out all the redirects links when I move a page.

My first edit to this wiki was archiving the news on the main page and fixing Template:DYK.

I know some of you may think that I don't qualify. I know that I have had riffs with other users, but those were minor and little to none. I also haven't been here the longest, but I am a freqent editor on Wikia as a whole. I'm also not a member of PokePower, but before you hold that against me. I want to say that I don't nessacarily want to be part of PokePower because I want to be able to help the wiki in general, and not be tied to a specific part of editing.

I also set up the IRC, and am going to send in a founder request to wikia, due to the founder being long gone. I set up the Facebook and Twitter pages and am monitoring them well.

I think I'd be a very good candidate for admin, because I have experience, and am well knowledged in wikia and pokémon.

I also apologise for any spelling mistakes in my request, I am at a school computer and it doesn't have a spell checker. --BassJapas (talk)

Support

 * 1) She knows a lot about wiki coding :). --Jello Rabbit (talk)
 * 2) Bass is a mainspace editor that knows plenty about coding and is active most of the time, if not here then over on Zeldapedia or on another wiki where she can still receive messages from users on this wiki. Also she has made the IRC, Facebook, AND the Twitter page for this wiki and improved may templates and the like. Altogether, she's probably the most qualified for the job --SapphireWave (talk) 02:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I have to support BassJapas. In my opinion, she is one of the best with editing, she is also willing to help anyone who asks her. BassJapas truly deserves this title.--Bullet Francisco (talk) 23:00, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Excellent contributor! --Technology Wizard (talk) 01:24, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) I'll stay neutral for now. She has helped a lot and i saw how much she contributed but she got angry with another user so i'll think about it for now. But i noticed she already said sorry to that user and she hasn't been angry with anyone at all so i might change my vote to Support on the next few following days as long as she doesn't get angry with another user anymore. AdventureWriter28 (talk)

Oppose

 * 1) No. She tried to revert a vote that opposed her. Considered as vandalism. So, nay. --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 05:40, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Arceus, A. I'm a girl, and B. You're hardly in the place to say that someone doesn't show proper behaviour, have you not seen your blogs or your VSTF slagging? --BassJapas (talk)
 * 2) Hmph, I'm closing my request. I'm putting support for you so that you can become a petty admin. while I become a Wikia Helper, which have Bureaucrat Status on ALL Wikis. ;D --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 17:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Also, Bass, being a PokePower Member doesn't mean you can't edit other stuff. It means you specialize in that. Also, if you want to do general stuff, why not become a Mulit-Tasker? --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 17:16, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I know what it means, but I don't want the title of a member, because it means you have to work as a group, and I work singularly as a user. And also, you clearly don't know the definition of a wikia helper. Also, refrain from calling me a boy, because I've clearly stated that I am a girl, and I demand to be called as one. Also, don't use words that you don't know what they mean, because if you knew the definition of petty, you'd know it doesn't get used in that context. --BassJapas (talk) 17:20, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Petty means low or inferior, compared to a Helper/Staff, a local Wiki Admin is pretty inferior. I know the meaning of Helper. I didn't call you a 'he'. And if you can't work well with others and prefer to work solo, that means you don't deserve Admin rights as admins must mingle and work with the normal Users. --Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk) 17:27, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) You must not know how to read your own text. And I'm talking about wiki projects. I like to do my own wiki projects, because I don't want to have to focus on one thing, whether I can do more than one thing or not, I still have to do that project. I jump from project to project and wiki to wiki. Which is what I mean by I like to work alone, because I edit more wikis then most, and therefore, can't do a project with someone else because they can't depend on me to do that of which they want me to do. Unlike admin rights, where the admin doesn't need to be on the whole time, and just mainly needs the RC open so it refreshes and they can catch vandalism. --BassJapas (talk) 17:45, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) I feel like I have a grudge on this Frieza Sama guy. Sounds like a lot of " hoopla! " to me. >.< --Bermuda (talk) 07:55, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Arceus, I suggest you give a better reason why she doesn't desrve adminship, from my point of view, it seems that you just dislike BassJapas, and whipped up a reason to vote no on her request. Can you please give a better reson for your oppose? Or to me, it will be biased. Thanks.--Bullet Francisco (talk) 23:28, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Evanf (administrator)
Evanf (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I have created more well more than 30 articles, and still going. Leader of Pokemon Teams (which was my idea) that helped the Wiki alot. I have made many templates, and adding to the Utility Templates category. I am making many new ideas to enhance userpages, and help adding random articles, characters, locations, and more. I have been on this wiki since October 22nd, 2009, and helped alot of people out. I also am the builder of PokePower, and I know I can do the Admin job. I will treat everyone fair, and help the Wiki out all the time.

Support

 * 1) Of course I would support my older bro! Pokemonmaster210 (talk)
 * 2) Yes, I support Evanf, who like me, dislikes Charitwo for the injustice he had done to the Wiki. If anyone should become an Admin., its Evanf, AW28, Jello, Hstar and Gaehwasan. But since Gaeh and Hstar has not participated, Evanf, AW28 and Jello. Besides, Evanf was an Admin before in the Wiki, so he knows how it works. Arceus The God of Pokemon (talk 11:20, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) If you've been 'round since October of '09, you should know to follow format and directions.... --BassJapas (talk) 23:57, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Flames other users sometimes by yelling at them. --Jello Rabbit (talk)
 * 3) You also tend to offend other users a bit.--Bullet Francisco (talk) 23:03, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Stop doing edit conflicts! My brother (Pokemonmaster210) got on my account, he blocked some users andI tried to tell Charitwo, but he never replyed.
 * 2) Also, you should know that nobody believes stories on the internet. "I was hacked". Yeah, no evidence. --BassJapas (talk) 00:04, June 2, 2011 (UTC) EDIT: I'm calling out "Evanf's younger brother" out on bias. It's completely unfair to just throw in a vote because he's your brother. So yeah, biased and who knows if he actually has a brother. --BassJapas (talk) 00:32, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) He is relly younger brother. His name is Joshua, he is 13, and he is an annoying twit. I have no idea why he voted for me, but I am not complaining. - --Evanf (talk)
 * 4) Still calling out on biased. --BassJapas (talk) 00:40, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Emm... evidence? Then ask your brother Pokemonmaster210 online :p. --Jello Rabbit (talk)

I have been on this wiki for a long time, I have created many different articles to fill space of pages not created of templates, have a decent amount of edits (not that that really matters... But I have also helped out a few users). --Darkraian10 (talk) 18:02, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

SapphireWave (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I've been on the wiki for about a month and I have 500+ or so mainspace edits. I've also added the majority of the learnsets on the Unova Pokemon pages and have started to work on Kanto learnsets now. I'm fairly active and could use the rollback powers to stop vandalism I spot while editing. --SapphireWave (talk)

Support

 * 1) I personally believe that you're ready. You've proven yourself to be a good contributor. --BassJapas (talk) 22:58, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't mind seeing how you do with rollback powers, rollback fits you perfectly.--Bullet Francisco (talk) 23:01, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
