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 voted in as administrators will be put on a month's trial. At the end of the month, a discussion is then held between staff on whether the user should stay on as admin or not.

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

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,

Mikey Klebbitz (aka Myth Killah)
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)
