Guild Wars Wiki talk:Elections/2008-12 bureaucrat election/JonathanMartin

Just a couple of questions, to start. How would you define the role of a Bcrat and why would you be a better choice than the other candidates? --  Indochine  talk 14:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but where are you and why do you think you can be a bureaucrat with 24 valuable (based on the requirement for voting in elections) contributions (where the only two edits in the GWW namespace are from adding this election page)? poke | talk 15:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * O o...I don't think you qualify yet? -- S ilverleaf   [[Image:User Silverleaf sig.png]]Don't assume, ask! 18:17, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, you can. You just have to realize that, until you actually know what the whole "bureaucrat" thing is about, you won't stand a chance of being elected. In any case, "just for the lulz" is a really bad reason for running for bureaucrat or admin.--Fighterdoken 00:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It also tends to stand against you (marginally) in future elections, if you ran "just for the hell of it" in a previous election. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 03:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Bad candidate is bad. Prove me wrong, Johnathon. --[[Image: User_Ezekial_Riddle_sig.jpg|Talk]] Riddle 03:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Captain Obvious is Obvious. Suffice it to say, that I've been playing for about 16 months, have decent experience in Guild Wars, have been using the wiki since i learned about it last September (2007), and plan to be on a lot more. But w/e, i withdraw. Jonathan 12:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think some people were a tad too aggressive in their responces above to you. People are always more than welcome to apply and I do not agree with Riddle that you are a bad candidate. I think it is more simply the case that you are an unknown entity. Once we see you about a bit more in policy discussions, tagging, editing etc... We will come to know you more and thus allow everyone to make a more informed decision as to if to vote for you or not. So I suppose my advice is to keep up the hard work and in a wee while you may get a much more postive responce from the community as a whole if you run again. :) -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 12:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
