GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion

Welcome to GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion.

You may apply for Rollback Rights or Administrator privileges on this noticeboard. To do so, you must meet the prerequisites, and then state what position you are looking for and why you think you need the rollback and/or administrator tools.

Requests for Oversight and Checkuser must be done at Wikia Central (and they'll probably be declined).

Rollback is a tool that allows users to quickly revert vandalism.

Administrators have the power to block and ban users, protect pages, move images, and delete pages and images, in addition to rollback.

To qualify for rollback rights, editors must have been active for two months with no rules violations. Rollbackers must receive a 60% 'yes' percentage to be promoted.

To qualify for administrator rights, editors must have been active for four months with no rules violations. Administrators must receive a 70% 'yes' percentage to be promoted. Those applying for adminship will likely be asked questions on how they deal with certain situations. This is to see if a user has the capabilities of being an administrator.

Editors with rollback and administrator experience on other wikis are encouraged to apply, and based on the editor in question exceptions may be made to the length of time editing required for promotion.

When applying for promotion, a community vote will take place. Voting lasts 7 days, although it may be allowed to run shorter (in the case of an obvious pass/fail) or longer (in the case of a very close vote) at sysop discretion.

Please submit your requests at the top of the "Active requests" page subsection.

Requests where the voting has finished can be found at GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion/Archived Requests

Active requests
Hello, I am Sasquatch101 and am requesting to be a patroller here on the GTA Wiki. Since I joined back in november, I have vigorously been at work on compleating all the street names in Grand Theft Auto IV (so far all of algonquin) as well as making various contributions around the wiki. I am on the verge of 200 edits, but the quality of the edits is what I feel is most important. I belive I would be a great patroller becaue I always try to help new editors that come on the wiki and keep an eye out for vandals suck as the "Yomamma'sgirlyparts" user who deleted the ble hell page which I fixed then reported to two addmins. I also created the GTA Myths Wiki, as I noticed in the GTA Wiki rules & policy that myths were not allowed and were redirected to the old abandon gta myths wiki. The new GTA Myths wiki is now a first-class affiliate of the GTA Wiki. I love the GTA series and will be a addition to the GTA Wiki staff.

Thankyou,

Hello I'm Cloudkit01, I requested for a promotion here like a month ago, which resulted as being unsuccesful, but I'll try again and this time I'll like to be a patroller because I want to watch this wiki and report the users to you guys about sockpuppetry and stealing users name and using it as their own name.

So I got like 820 edits because I hope that's a lot of editing that you might know that and wondering how did I got alot of edits.

But I know this is my second chance to be here since I got block for 7 days for not following the image policy.

So I'll let you think about it and after that you'll get back to me about whether am I worthy enough to be a patroller. If I become a patroller is it okay that I delete all my old message on my talkpage? Cloudkit01 06:55, December 4, 2012 (UTC)Cloudkit01

Hi, my name is Cloudkit01, and I have been playing GTA games for 4 years. I joined the wiki on March 12, 2012 and I always check to make sure there are no misspelled words on any pages and I like to read trivia questions on every page. I joined the wiki before, but my account was gone due to the router was down and I was mad when that happened I couldn't show my face on the wiki anymore. So I have been given another chance to be on this wiki. I upload pictures of voice actors and actresses so everyone can look and upload them on the page.

I wanted to be a patroller or any promotion ranks and I know I have 249 edits from every pages I been on.

So contact me on my user page and leave me a message or email me: [mailto:nuts4cats@charter.net nuts4cats@charter.net]. Just be easy on me or I'll go 3 Stooges on my parents and everyone I know in the real world.

Hi wiki staff, I am Mikey Klebbitz aka Myth Killah and I am requesting to be a patroller.

I applied for patroller a while back, but the request was unsuccessful. I have improved myself, and though I think I had potential to be a good patroller back then, I am a better writer now and I'm sure I've got what it takes to make it to patroller.

I have a full count of 628 edits, and I already used to make good edits, but now with the Grand Theft Auto V new screenshots, artworks and the new trailer, I have looked out for some pages so they couldn't be filled with wrong and/or fake info and I think I have been doing it good.

As for grammar, I correct misspellings whenever I see them, and usually write things with good grammar. Keep in mind, I'm Portuguese, so if for once I write anything with any sort of bad grammar, forgive me, because I speak English a lot, and sometimes even speak English when I'm with my friends, but I am Portuguese.

I have also created good pages with reliable information and have also uploaded some photos and videos to the wiki.

Please vote, so I know if you consider me worthy of being a patroller.

See you around the wiki,

 * You've been here for a long time, there's no reason you shouldn't be promoted.gtav_v_48x48.jpg Dodo8  Talk  15:47, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Him being here a long time is not a valid reason for promotion. Messi1983 (talk) 20:12, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah but hes made some good edits and hasn't done any kind of vandalism since joining the wiki. Bob.cutlass2 (talk) 06:57, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * That is good but I would like him to answer in what ways can he help this wiki by being a patroller? Messi1983 (talk) 08:46, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * If I get promoted to patroller, I want to delete all the vandalism I can find, and I have already started to delete unnecessary/ dead links on pages, speculation and wrong information as well as putting links where they need to be put. I will also help you with the vandals/ hackers in this wiki, in any way I can. Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 17:31, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

I want to get promoted. Im not sure how many edits i need so if I cant get promoted now then I would like to know what i need to do to promote. Im in this wiki from November 2, 2011 and I didnt do much edit because I didnt get a chanche to. I have provided the the wiki with some good vehicle screenshots of GTA V trailer 2 and I will start adding information to LCS (places, people, sceenshots, etc.). My grammar needs some work as i am not english so im sorry if I write something wrong anywhere on the wiki.

Vote what you think is best,

Hi, my name is Ítalo, and I'm a great fan of GTA, I joined the wiki on March 7, 2012. I always report vandals, and fix pages that have been vandalized, I've joined the wiki firstly to know facts and other things that help me playing GTA games, and secondly because I love GTA and I like adding some info that I discovered, I play GTA since I was a kid, sometimes I have a bad grammar, that's beacause my country language is not English, I created some pages, to add some extra info, I just added 2 screenshots, but soon I will upload more.

I always wanted to be a patroller on this wiki, and I think I'm a good editor, but if I can't be I try later.

Thanks!

If you want to contact me please send me an e-mail: istalo1@hotmail.com or valenteitalo@yahoo.com.br, or just leave me a message on my user page.

 * I don't see any reason why you wouldn't make a good patroller, apart from your grammar, which can improve within time of course. Messi1983 (talk) 18:59, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing a lot of additions of useless "the sky is blue" trivia among your edits. Jeff (talk|stalk) 05:53, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same as Jeff. make more substantial edits, sort out your grammar a bit and just prove yourself a bit more around the Wiki and try again in a few months. Tom Talk 22:09, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Closing this as failed - it's been open 9 days and has a 33% support rate. Jeff (talk|stalk) 20:38, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Mikey Klebbitz and I've joined the wiki on the 3rd of August of 2012. I have got an account on this wiki, Wikipedia and Youtube. When I signed up on this wiki I was determined on improving everything I could here. And I look back now and these few months here had me fix some pages that were awful (full of bad grammar, badly constructed or lacking information), and create some pages I think of as being important.

So, I think I should be promoted not only because of my amount of edits, but also because of their role on making pages clear. Quantity and quality.

That said, I hope you vote "Yes", but if you don't, I will consider that as another chance of improving myself as long as you tell me why you don't want to promote me.

Best,

 * Mikey has developed into a good editor, while he may not always be completely grammatically correct, he has obviously put a lot of effort into improving that. I'm not completely sure at the moment so I'll wait to see other users' comments before making my decision. Tom Talk 22:11, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am voting no, as in not yet, as the user has only been here for a short space of time. Messi1983 (talk) 13:39, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just got done deleting a blog from this user saying "the idea of a female protagonist is stupid". Not staff material now or probably ever. Jeff (talk|stalk) 23:27, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * I did not say that the idea of a female protagonist was stupid. At all. All I said is that games live of stereotypes and a woman walking down the street with guns is not by far the most common stereotype. What about reliable information Jeff? Don't go around telling everyone I said something I didn't. Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 14:20, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not that you're a bad editor or anything, you just haven't been on the wiki for that long and there hasn't been enough time to get to know how good of an editor you are

I'm Tony and I have been on this Wiki since May of 2012. I contribute here and other Wikis based on games I have and I have average-to-good grammar. I am on this wiki couple times a day and look through articles that I want to read and if I see grammar mishaps or possible signs of vandalism, I edit it or undo it so no contributor can see the vandalism or be confused at the bad grammar and I'll report an admin if any vandalism occurs alot.

Not only that I'm an contributor here, I'm on high alert against vandalism. A few times during the summer, there were vandalism on this Wiki and the cause was this user, GTA TROLL, who was a sockpuppet of joshualeverburg1. The vandalism was caused by him blanking out the pages and replacing them by putting useless photos. I witnessed the vandalism and took immediate action to undo his vandalized edits and I reported to the known admins (Ilan xd and The Tom) and now the incident was supposed to be over, but he struck back, hacking my account and creating a vulgar page about this Wiki, which I reported to McJeff and now cleared.

I'm on the lookout too for speculation about GTA III Era/IV Era cars, vehicles, characters, etc. "making a return to GTA V" being placed on the current pages here. As stated above, I have average-to-good grammar and will fix grammar mishaps so it won't confuse readers or having them say, "Huh?". I will respect any vote or response you voters will make.

Kind Regards to All Voting,
