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.

Rules and Regulations
Upon your request, it will be discussed among community members for a period of two weeks. After the time has expired, the user's request will be reviewed and a discussion may be held between all active administrators. If the request is denied, you are prohibited from requesting adminship or rollback rights for thirty days. And remember, when voting or requesting rights, your signature must be in this format: --Username (talk)

Technology Wizard (adminship) (Suspended until further notice. Please see this forum.)
--Technology Wizard (talk) 02:21, July 17, 2011 (UTC) Hello everyone! I am requesting administrator rights for a few reasons. First of all, I want to point out the effort that I have really put into our wiki. I have created many articles, improved content, managed article templates, reported vandalism, made many positive suggestions, and much more. I hadn't thought requesting administrator rights for a while, but I think it's best to try things if you're curious. Just in my contributions today, I have made a total of 115+ edits. I have created 9 templates today regarding vandalism and voting templates (as seen below). I am administrator on 2 other wikis, so I know how to use the sysop rights already. I know that I could use the rights for protecting pages in need of it, block vandals when caught, help bring new things to the wiki through media wiki, help delete pages that are marked for it, help with the badge customization when needed, etc. I am apart of the Water Team and plan on requesting joining PokéPower. I was trusted with the chatmoderator status as well. I have expanded the MoS to twice the size it originally was. I have never been blocked nor abused my rights on wikia. I am seeking administrator rights for things I just can't do as a rollback.

I think we have enough administrators for the time being. Plus, the admins are doing a great job. I think you should try and become a member of PokePower before asking for this. --Bullet Francisco (talk) 18:14, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Comments
You don't meet the requirements either. You need 500 mainspace edits. --Bullet Francisco (talk) 18:33, July 18, 2011 (UTC) I already have more than 500 mainspace edits and you don't need to be in PokePower before becoming an admin. Also, there is never enough users with rights on a wiki. The only right I would put a limit to is bureaucrats. Other than that, the more user that can help with the things mentioned, the better. EDIT: I noticed you changed the rule on the amount of time on a wiki as well, to have another reason to oppose this, however it was changed back. Actually, you have 358 mainspace edits, as much as I feel you should become admin, that has to be known. Now, if rules are changed while a request is running, the new rules do not apply. I would like to discuss this with the other admins to see if an exception could be made on you, as you've proven yourself worthy and know what you're doing. But that might involve your request being suspended for a bit of time. Are you okay with the suspension? -- Jä zz  i  22:46, July 18, 2011 (UTC) Of course I am ok with it. And yes, I do have the need for the rights so having a compromise would be helpful. EDIT: I also want to say that I highly disagree with having to join PokePower before requesting this. It isn't required nor makes a difference. I plan on joining it after I reach the requirements, but I totally disagree with that statement. Bullet, PokePower membership isn't required for adminship. I became an admin and wasn't a member of PokePower. It was fine with everybody. -- Jä zz  i  22:55, July 18, 2011 (UTC) Keyword, should --Bullet Francisco (talk) 04:38, July 19, 2011 (UTC) In that case, it isn't required, I am assuming? It was far from being required. --Bullet Francisco (talk) 15:40, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

CXXX (talk): Contributions Edit Count

I would like to request for Rollback Rights. I know I may not get them, but I will try. If I became a Rollback, I will do everything I can to make this wikia prosper. I will try my best to make this wikia the best wiki out there. I have done many things, including putting pages in ever 315 categories. I made the needed amount of edits(almost 600), and get to rank #23. Why I need them? Because The other admins or rollbacks might not be online, so I will be avalable to fix the page. I also made other wikis, so I know the responsabilaty I'll have. I will continue to do my best. Thank you for your time, (cXXX)--cXXX (talk) 5:36, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Since you reach all requirments now, I changed my vote, though if you reach rollback, please edit alot more. I feel you are ready, and deserve it but remember, rollback rights mean you are trustworthy, edit alot, and absulotly hate vandilsm. Before you get promoted, make sure you are ready for the responsblities. KateWolf

You aren't a month old on the wiki, you hit a month on the twelfth of August. Due to your multiple accounts (three) and then there's the case of most of your edits are categorization, which is good, but we need content editors. And the fact you didn't really know how to make a new section. *sigh* I just don't think you're ready.

the majority of your edits are to add categories, and you don't edit in bulk. –  Jä zz  i  01:03, August 14, 2011 (UTC) What Jäzzi said. Most of your edits are adding categories. Some, err, most are editing the same pages. In my opinion, your edits aren't really worth calling edits, more like spam actually; another opinion: the real amount of edits you've actually made is probably 150 max. You're still quite new. May I suggest seeing Help pages about editing, especially on Categorizing. This is my honest truth. :/ • Bermuda • Contact Me!  • 01:49, August 14, 2011 (UTC) Almost all your edits come from adding categories, you own THREE accounts, you are still fairly new as well. The others basically have already said what needs to be said. --Bullet Francisco (talk) 05:12, August 14, 2011 (UTC) I am sorry, but you don't find vandalism. Rollback is about reverting multiple edits by a contributor with one click. You are nice and friendly, but you don't meet the requirements in my book. Once you find vandalism and actually report it, then I'll reconsider my vote.

Comments
I am not going to use my othe acounts, exept "Lord Zama", but only if I am being stalked by another user (I promice this). I am planning some edits to expand pages. Also, I know how to make a section, I just did not relized what you ment, Jäzzi, when you menshined it. I forgot I was a cuple days shart of the requiremints. But, if I do fail to get these rights, I will not try again intill I become a Featured User. cXXX╪ 18:14, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Not to mention your spelling is off, which is another reason you do not deserve rollback, also, Rollback is just a tool that helps you undo edits, which I've seen you do none of. --Bullet Francisco (talk) 05:14, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Jirachiwish (rollback)
--Jirachiwish (talk) I am nominating this user for a few reasons. First off I want to point out that this user shows dedication to the wiki. He seems to be very friendly and is enjoyed among our community. He will be joining PokePower in order to help with the community even more. This user meets the requirements for a rollback request as well. I think that this user could use a bit of recognition for being as outstanding as shown to be.

Support
I agree with Tech. He has shown dedication all this time in the Pokémon Wiki, he has created many articles in the Project Manga which needs a lot of work and he has put a variety of inadequate articles for deletion. ← Donatello→ • ← Leave me a message! → 10:52, August 15, 2011 (UTC) I think you are ready! This wiki will need as much help as it can! --cXXX╪ 18:19, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I did nominate the user, but I want to hear more about the news I just read about the user.

I've heard a lot of stuff of how you've made sock puppet accounts, stalked users, and just, you're just not ready. I don't know if I trust you enough for this right. –  Jä zz  i  18:42, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Dear users of Pokemon Wiki. Some of you may know me, I am Godisme, a user at Bleach Wiki and an administrator at Central. Jazzi has informed me that Jirachiwish is requesting rollback rights here. While it would not be right of me to cast a vote since I am not an active user here, I would like to make you all aware of a situation that happened over on Bleach Wiki and Bleach Answers with this user. Jirachiwish is active here only because he is no longer welcome on Bleach Wiki. This is due to problems with stalking, insults, repeated bad behavior, vandalism and sock puppetry. Over on Bleach Wiki, we have what is called the Policy & Standards Committee. This group is made of 9 people with rollback who do the majority of the work around the site. When Jirachiwish learned there was going to be an opening in the committee, he became obsessed. That is when he decided to go to Bleach answers and put on a show in order to make himself look good. Eonstratagem showed up on the wiki and began asking questions about the committee and Jirachiwish. His questions were quite leading, begging for a response that would make Jirachiwish seem like a good user. He then left a message for Jirachiwish asking Jirachiwish to join in making a site about how Arrancar109, a Bleach Wiki administrator, was rude and cruel. I checked bac[k on Bleach Wiki and saw that Eonstrategem had made one edit to the wiki, it was to vandalize Arrancar109's user page. Jirachiwish then responded to Eonstrategem's message by saying he was a good user and respected Arrancar109. This all seemed too much like Jirachiwish's doing to me so I contacted wikia and had them check the information for the two users. They emailed me back in the morning and confirmed for me that Jirachiwish and Eonstratagem were the same person.


 * This was just the first incident with him. After Jirachiwish admitted to being Eonstratagem, I made him apologize to Arrancar109 and it was decided to not block him. This is when the stalking began. He began to follow me to other wikis, even finding my test wiki which I never told him about. He followed me to community central's chat. He would do everything I would do. If I was doing something on Bleach Wiki in bulk, he would do it too. He would copy my personal code files, changing them every time I did. He was so unaware of what he was doing even that he added a link to my blog in his account navigation. He became frustrating and refused to take any criticism. I told him plenty of times he needed to add categories to his images when he uploads them. It was only once he figured out that this would give him more edits that he started to do so. I won't even get into his propensity for uploading images that were a split second away from an existing one just so he could boost his edit count more. Then came the insults. SunXia, the primary image getter on Bleach Wiki and 2nd seat of the Policy & Standards Committee, was repeatedly insulted by Jirachwish after he she told him to follow policies. Then came the stalking again. Myself and SunXia were getting so frustrated with him that rather than discuss it on the wiki where he would continue his insults, we took it to one of the wikis I am an admin on. One that Jirachiwish would have no reason to go to other than to stalk me as the subject matter is guitar tabs and I am the only editor there. He found this and demanded that we, two of the most active contributors to Bleach Wiki, be banned from the site. His stalking became so bad that he was told by staff to back off. It was after the admins of Bleach wiki finally stepped in and confirmed that everything SunXia and I were telling him to do was right and he was close to being blocked, that he decided to leave the wiki and come here for good.


 * In conclusion, Jirachiwish is a two time vandal, a stalker and one of the most unpleasant people I have ever had the displeasure of working with. By giving him rollback, you only reward him for these actions. I know that none of this occurred on this wiki but I feel all of this must be known before anyone makes a decision to give Jirachiwish rollback rights. Thank you for your time God (Pray)18:59, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the information, I will be changing my vote, but I have 1 question. Are people from central allowed to go to wikis and persuade consensus about things as such. I am very thankful that you notified us about this but at the same time, I don't think it was right to post this on the nomination. Perhaps on a forum or blog. Also, I want to see a link about this behavior of the user. (edit conflict) If they feel it right, they can comment on the nomination. I had someone comment on one of my nominations once. –  Jä zz  i  19:48, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
