Tardis:User rights nominations

Please put nominations (including self-nominations) for special user rights below. Add supporting or dissenting comments under the nominations.

Adjustments may be made for special circumstances, but in general there will be at least a one week comment period.

See Wikia:Help:User access levels and Wikia:Help:Administrators' how-to guide for more information about these roles. Special:Listusers/sysop shows the current admins, bureaucrats and staff IDs.

Administrators
An administrator has special responsibilities to watch over the wiki. In order to make it easier to fulfill those responsibilities, and admin can block user IDs or IP edits, protect pages and revert pages more easily.

Nominations:
 * User:Dark Lord Xander, Nominating Myself ,I'm always around working on articles, Like helping new users and hate vandals. Dark Lord Xander 02:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Opposed. I know you're frequently present and a tireless contributor.  I also think that your residency in Australia makes you a strong candidate because you would logically be online at a time other admins might not.  But your grasp of English grammar and punctuation is extremely problematic.  A quick glance at your user page — or even the sentence you typed above — is proof enough of that.  A lot of times,  I don't understand the points you're trying to make.


 * I'm also not convinced that you have a sound grasp of the original series, nor — because you say you don't own even one original series episode — can you seriously conduct research on it. It worries me that you don't, therefore, seem to have the tools to knowledgeably balance your appreciation of spin-off material against televised material.  Moreover, a lot of the pages you have created have been extremely sketchy, such as Grant Morrison and The Infinity Season.  The bulk of what you create for the site are simple placeholders; you tend to leave the hard work of synopses, references and general linkages to others.


 * Your lone in-universe article, Dalek Flying Saucer, is problematic from its very name. You seem to accept that "Dalek Flying Saucer" is what the thing should be called, without ever mentioning that its actual Dalek (that is, in-universe) name has never been given.


 * I should point out as well that a review of your edit count reveals overwhelming contributions to the mainspace, with no work on templates on any site, and only one category edit on this site.  This reveals either a lack of interest or knowledge about building the backbone of wikis.  Moreover your edits to talk pages are disturbingly low, meaning you're not that committed to inviting discussion and achieving consensus.


 * I just don't see that your basic editing work warrants giving you additional oversight powers at this time.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  03:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, I just thought I'd give it a try and let people know i am interested. --Dark Lord Xander 05:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Skittles the hog 13:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC) I have sked Tangerine duel before and he said hed think about it, I am one of the most active users on this wiki and I know a lot of my edits are'nt everyones favorite but I have made alot of useful contributions (in my opinion anyway). I would be able to make many more with advanced..tools. Thanks.


 * Opposed: My questions from the previous time around were never satisfactorily answered. What articles showcase your editing / writing skills, which edits/articles are you proud of?
 * Additionally which "advanced tools" specifically? The main most visible are the block and delete buttons. I'm currently not confident that you have the breadth of knowledge of the Manual of style, article style in general and the Doctor Who-verse to employ either efficiently.
 * A quick look at a recent new article The Time of My Life (I've edited it to conform with other comic pages) didn't fill me with confidence. --Tangerineduel 16:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, ill try better then ask another time thanks for your opinion but i would also like to raise my opinion that you pick on me, Don't you think personally that I have made valuable contributions? Above you've just condemned my edits as rubbish...i dont know why i bother. Im going to argue with quark on the shout box. I will try better in future--Skittles the hog 10:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Dorian Gray 13:11, 13:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC) Nominating myself . I am around alot and always find user with bad or rude user names aswell as ones who take the piss off dr who.


 * Agreed: Dorian is capable of good use of the wiki html and creaates intresting edits. I agree with this motion.--Skittles the hog 05:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Opposed: Almost all of his edits have been on his user page Dark Lord Xander 06:21, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed: This User deserves to be and Admin.He has many skills and brings a sense of life to this Wiki.He could be a great Admin given the chance .--Quark16 13:02, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
