Wandering Traveler[edit]

Candidate statement[edit]

With two other RFA's going on, it doesnt feel as awkward trying this again. Nevertheless, I'd like to resubmit this after taking up the advice given during my previous RFA some months/year ago. Much of my objectives remain the same; My only hope is that I have improved in the eyes of the wiki and its community.

Edit: I've been requested to update my candidate statement. I've not much to say other then what I've said before: I make mistakes, I learn from them. My objectives with the tools are simple: to use them to the betterment of the wiki. Since my last RFA I have been slightly more active in policy discussion, I understand many back-workings that I didnt in my beginnings. I may have had a rough beginning, but I think I've learned a lot since then.
I've no real words for this. I just hope I've shown my dedication and shown that I can be trusted with this task.

Support[edit]

  1. Support. Im still thinking that WT is suited, he knows the wiki, has good contributions, can be trusted and is a good person. -- |Cyan LightUser Cyan Light sig.jpgLive!| 18:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  2. Support. Although a bit early I feel WT is suitable for adminship. --Dominator Matrix 23:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  3. Support He's demonstrated he can be an able admin. ~Shard User Shard Sig Icon.png 07:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  4. Support. As per Guild_Wars_Wiki:Elections/2009-06_bureaucrat_election/Wandering_Traveler. Titani Uth Ertan 09:22, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  5. Support I say, I support ya. I'm alright with you being in control. etc. ♥ Ariyen ♀ 20:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  6. Support What they said ^ WT would be a capable admin. ПALANA 15:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
  7. Support I think that on occasion, WT rushes through some of the maintenance stuff (tagging inactive guild pages), but I think he'd do ok with the sysop tools. He has proven willing to do some of the more tedious types of stuff this wiki needs loads of. His attitude while interacting with other users has drastically calmed down from earlier days. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 16:12, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
  8. Support I think you will make a great admin C4K3 User C4K3 Signature.jpg Talk 07:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
  9. Support--*Yasmin Parvaneh* User yasmin parvaneh sig.png 18:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
  10. Support. MiraLantis 00:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
  11. Support. I trust this guy. — WhyUser talk:Why Are We Fighting 15:53, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  12. With reservations. Backsword 20:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  13. Decent enough a guy, I suppose. -- NUKLEAR User NuclearVII signature 3.jpgIIV 21:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
  14. WT is hawt. -- My Talk Lacky 06:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Oppose[edit]

  1. Weak Oppose. maybe, maybe not. --Cursed Angel Q.Q 13:49, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  2. Meh. For a user that's been around as long as he has, he really hasn't struck me as admin material. Generally people are either clear-cut admins like Anja or Biro or they're clearly not, like Jette or most others. WT has been around for too long to not belong in either camp, so I'm inclined to oppose. -Auron 18:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
  3. When you do contribute you don't rly stand out.Per auron rly Lilondra User Lilondra Sig.jpg*poke* 17:58, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
  4. Oppose. I think WT has come a long way since his last RFA, but I'd like to see him come further before I'd be comfortable giving him admin tools. He's certainly a valuable contributor, and I don't think he'd ever intentionally misuse the admin tools, but I often get the impression he "leaps before he looks", which isn't usually a big problem when it comes to tagging or reverting, but often is when it comes to deleting or banning. - Tanetris 06:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  5. Strong Oppose What Auron said, plus the fact that I can see him as a clearly biased party where some users are concerned.--Shadowsin 19:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  6. Strong Oppose. He's a great community member and contributor, but I'm not convinced that giving him admin tools would assist the community whatsoever. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:49, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  7. Oppose as per Auron. -- Armond WarbladeUser Armond sig image.png{{Bacon}} 02:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
  8. Weak Oppose. All things considered, I would prefer not to see someone promoted on a "why not" basis, and the arguments that have been offered in opposition are much more compelling than those that have been offered in support. — Defiant Elements +talk 03:54, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
  9. Oppose. ^^^^^^^^^^ - Mini Me talk 17:06, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Neutral[edit]

  1. Neutral. Per oppose reasonings of your last RfA. However it got definitely better, but this RfA might be a bit early, that's why I will stay neutral for now. poke | talk 18:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  2. Supporting neutral. I'm not sure about support, but oppose isn't right either... - J.P.ContributionsTalk 21:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  3. User seems like a pretty nice guy, and does have solid mainspace contributions or whatever. I see no outstanding reason to oppose you... but not really any outstanding reason to support you either. If I supported you, it would pretty much be a "meh, why not?" type of vote, and those are just bleh. I'd trust you to delete and prot things and maybe even with bannings, but you don't scream "sysop material!" to me either. – Emmett 20:22, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  4. Switzerland. As per Emmett. Rank-and-file cops are important to the police force since not everyone can be a captain, and there is no inherent limit to the number of sysops. But I do not like using that rationale as my main reason for support (or, conversely, as a reason to oppose). Vili 点 User talk:Vili 20:26, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
  5. Neutral. I don't think we need another Inactive or Semi-Active sysop. Meh, he's trying. I hope he wins, but I can't bring myself to vote support. -- FreedomBoundUser Freedom Bound Sig.png 22:08, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  6. Neutral. As per Emmett and Vili. While I've seen enough of WT to be reasonably certain that he is plenty competent to perform administrative functions, I've yet to see evidence that indicates that he would be a particularly outstanding sysop, and so long as there's no particular need for additional sysops, I'm disinclined to support people on the basis of "he's essentially competent, so why not?" — Defiant Elements +talk 18:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
  7. Neutral. Just like everyone says, Wandering Traveler is a great wiki organizer and works like a robot. But he is also sometimes semi-active. I do feel he would be a great sysop anyway. -- Halogod35 User Halogod35 Sig.jpg 19:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
  8. Neutral. Your name as a T in it, which is beside S, which is sexy, but I'm on the fence with the rest of you. ~~000.00.00.00~~ 07:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
  9. Neutral. Hmmm, I just don't know yet. I'm leaning towards "oppose" atm. Karate User Karate Jesus KJ for sig.png Jesus 15:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
  10. Neutral — Seru User Seru Sig2.png Talk 15:26, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
