Hello everyone, it's me again.
Hopefully by now everyone knows me around the wiki. I usually edit stories, mainly mantaining the QS standards, and I am also a current chat moderator and VCROC. And with the consent of a few other admins, I am going ahead and applying for admin.
Now lets run through some things people might Oppose for:
"
Oppose - I hardly see you editing around the wiki."
- I have school and a part-time job right now, but I still try to manage around 25 article edits a day. Sometimes I can do this, and sometimes I don't. But I try to contribute QUALITY not quanity.
" Oppose - You haven't been here long enough."
- This is partly true, but if I am an active contributor with already VCROC knowledge, I see myself not leaving anytime soon.
" Oppose - I don't think your ready."
- Well, I have already had experience with deleting pages, moving pages, renaming pages, blocking users for a certain amount of time. I can see this question arising, and I think that it is not really a problem considering I already have a fair ammount of experience with what comes with being an admin.
Alright, lets look at the requirements:
- Must have been active on the wiki for six months.
I have been a member of this wiki since April, 2012, on my first account. A few older users remember it. But being active has been patchy. But I don't see myself going anyway for awhile. I have been contributing everday since late August, so why would I stop after I get admin?
- Must have at least 800 edits, 600 of which must be on articles.
I have 1,564 edits, 716 on articles, and 242 on archived revisions.
- Must know how to categorize pages.
There is two ways to do this, but I normally just go into the editor and the categories on the side of the page. The other way is using the shortcut at the bottom of the page.
- Must know how to move files and pages.
Really simple, just click the arrow slider next to the Edit button, rename, and then click the slide bar to move it to a different location.
- Must know how to delete pages and files.
Click the arrow slider next to edit, go down to the bottom and click delete. Then chose the reason your deleting it, then press Delete page. Done.
- Must know how to block a user for an appropriate amount of time.
Spam Pages are a 2 dayer, Unfinished pages are a warning, and if someone re-uploads a deleted story it is a 1 dayer. And vandalism is two weeks.
- Must be familiar with the layout of the wiki.
Well, I have been here for two years, so yeah, I think I completely understand how it works.
Now, I will understand if some people think I am not ready. But I believe I am, and so do other people. Without consent from certain people, I never make an application. I meet the requirements, and I understand the responiblity that comes with the title. I believe I am ready, so I am going to leave it up to you guys now.

Oppose - Sure, you're a good editor, but I can't really see the reason why you want Admin rights. Why exacly do you want them? In the position you are, you can already make enough work around here, and if you want to be one, you gotta start interacting more with the community (i.e at least post a review on the Writer's Workshop occasionally, give some advice to users). Plus, you've been a VCROC for less than a month -- it's WAY too early to apply for any further positions. I think you should work on these aspects and think about promotion later.Jamés the chapeist Send a message to Al Chapé here! 17:18, October 29, 2014 (UTC)
