arggghhh cant work out how to post to this page properly. sigh EDIT:Anyhoo, I like you alot mate but honestly I'm not sure if you're cut out for adminship. Personally I would like to see you go for Sysophood first to get your feet wet so to speak. (yes i know beuarcrat isn't a progression from sysophood but being a sysop gets someone more involved with wiki policing and admin chats which i think give a good grounding for the basis of the bureaucrat job.)-- Salome User salome sig.png 19:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the idea, might try that if this doesn't work (which is quite likely against Auron). be interestin to see what others think.--Sum Mesmer GuyUser sum mesmer guy signiture.png 19:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I haven't seen you much away from the User talk namespace, apart from the RfA you submitted for Eloc. I think you need to spend some more time here before you try and go for an administrative permission - not because it's a position for the "leet", but because you need to familiarise yourself with everything (or as close as you can get to "everything") on the wiki. --User Brains12 Spiral.png Brains12 \ Talk 19:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I can't vote for someone that thinks emotions should control discretion. Kokuou 19:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
i said emotions can play a part in descretion. eg, hurt=emotion, hurtful user=possible ArbComm, ArbComm=thinking about others' emotions (when they were hurt by user etc)--Sum Mesmer GuyUser sum mesmer guy signiture.png 19:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

What have you done that makes you qualified to be a bureaucrat? Calor Talk 19:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

qualification for bureaucrat role isn't about what you've done, but how it reflects the type of person that you are.--Sum Mesmer GuyUser sum mesmer guy signiture.png 19:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
How you are as a person is indicated -- on a wiki at least -- by what you've done. --User Brains12 Spiral.png Brains12 \ Talk 19:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
youd be better off as you are, or as a sysop--User Raph Sig.pngRaph Talky 00:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) have you ever seen me do anything unfitting of a bcrat?--Sum Mesmer GuyUser sum mesmer guy signiture.png 19:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
No, but I haven't seen you do much that fits the role of a bureaucrat. --User Brains12 Spiral.png Brains12 \ Talk 19:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Question: Why isnt he getting spammed with questions? lol jk --Shadowphoenix User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg 19:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

cos no-one expects this to be successful--Sum Mesmer GuyUser sum mesmer guy signiture.png 19:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Zero contributions to the GWW: and GWW talk: namespaces which relate to policy. That alone is sufficient cause for me to question your suitability for the position. And I don't see any other contributions which offset that fact. You say that you've done nothing wrong and never knowingly violated a wiki policy. That's great, but it doesn't mean that you necessarily know the policies well, nor does it reflect anything essential about your personality except perhaps that you have some modicum of intelligence and you're not a vandal. And, while I've seen you around the wiki, I've never seen you become involved in any meaningful discussions. Maybe you'd make a great bureaucrat for all I know, but I haven't seen anything that tells me you would be. While I also haven't seen anything that tells me you wouldn't be, that's not enough of a justification for me to support this nomination.

Sum, I gotta agree with DE; if you made a bit more effort to be involved in Policy discussion I might be able to support; but im afraid it is gonna be an oppose this time :P. :o) --Shadowphoenix User-Shadowphoenix Shadow Phoenix Signet.jpg 20:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose[edit]

i think you're not ready yet. as far as i know you, you lack a bit of knowledge about the policies ehre to keep it short. better luck next time ^^ - Y0_ich_halt Have a look at my page 11:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Sum, has the potential to make a good admin; however, I would like to see him more involved in policy discussions and such. I think that if he was to participate in more policy discussions and review our policy often, I could support; but at thi point in time I will have to oppose. --Shadowphoenix Please, talk to me; I'm so lonley ;-; 15:27, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
