Creepypasta Wiki

Applying again because I've been asked to by several people.

Prerequisites:

Must have been active on the wiki for four months.

Yes. I have been active fairly consistently since May, although my amount of edits per day has fluctuated. Some days I make twenty edits, some days I make only one. Look in my Contributions for more details.

Must have 500 edits and 200 on articles.

I have 1,163 edits as of this writing. However, a huge percentage of those are unnecessary ones such as edits to my userpage, blog comments (only some of which are helpful) and forum posts. Some of my forum edits are reviews, but many are not.

My article edits aren’t high enough and account for less than 10% of my total edits. While some of them are thorough revisions of a story’s grammar, phrasing and spacing, some are nothing more important than adding categories.

Must know how to move pages.

On the “Edit” toolbar, I click the triangle icon and select “Rename”. This permanently redirects the page. I usually do not leave redirects when renaming stories because of capitalization errors.

Must know how to rollback bad edits.

Under a page’s History, the most recent edits by one contributor can be undone in one action. This is useful for undoing vandalism and I have done this several times.

Must know how to block users for an appropriate amount of time.

Go to a user’s Contributions page and select “block”. There, I can specify the reason for blocking and the length of the block.

-Spam page created: 3 day block
-Vandalism: 2 week block, block will double after each infraction thereafter
-Re-uploading pages: If a user re-uploades a page once, they get a warning, after that, a one-day block.
-Spam/inappropriate comments on an article/blog/forum may also be a blockable offence depending on the severity and amount of comments.

Must know how to delete pages.

This is done by clicking the triangle icon in the Edit toolbar and selecting “Delete”. There, I can specify a reason for deletion.

Must know how to categorize pages.

Can be done while editing an article.

Must be familiar with the wiki layout.

Given that I’ve been active for four months, yes, I am.

The reason I waited so long to reapply is because I’ve been afraid of receiving the rights and then failing to use them correctly. But I care a lot about this site and want to help in any way I can, and there will be a lot more I can do as a VCROC than as a rollback. Hopefully I’ll become more confident in what I do if I can get this position.

Leave your votes below. Also, DO NOT VOTE if you have no reason(s) to provide in your vote; no blank supports, neutral or opposes. Thank you.

DEADLINE: 10/5/2014

Support Support - Mary puts in a lot of work on this site and judging from her edits, contributions to the writer's workshop, and on forum/blog posts, she knows a good quality story and how to improve stories that have issues. It is clear she cares about this site and its users. I'm really glad that she made this app as I think she'd make an excellent addition to the VCROC(K) team.

Support Support - ABOUT DAMNED TIME. *ahem* Rabbit would make an excellent VCROC, and with Thialgo getting admin, her and Nommeh will be welcome and needed additions to the staff with October coming up. Steam Phoenix - Her Majestic and Loyal Talk Page - 20:32, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Support Support -Mary has a great eye for quality, and would make a good job as a VCROC. Don't worry about the lack of edits, I'm sure you'll keep editing for a long time at least, but as I said before, your Quality judgement is good enough to get my support.SYD Send me a message! 20:33, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Support Support - You've put the work in alright. We need VCROC, and I'm confident you'll do a good job. Just make sure you get those article edits up and do a bit more than just adding categories and deleting pastas. Likferd (talk) 20:54, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

Support Support - Mary won't you please come... please come home~ Do you hear that? That's the grape roaring 00:29, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Obvious Support Support - is obvious. To echo Callie here, about f***ing time, Mary :) No need to go into why I think you'd be a great addition to the team, as I've talked with you a zillion times already about it. Thanks for re-applying. Mystreve (talk) 01:57, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

Support Support - Very hard-working user, I support Mary all the way. History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of men. (talk) 18:44, October 1, 2014 (UTC)
