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.

At this time the community has not decided how to handle Bureaucratship, and there is no method of requesting a promotion to Bureaucrat. 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.

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

Winter Moon - Patroller
My (user)name is Winter Moon, and I would like to become a patroller on the GTA wiki. I have been editing a lot this summer, and I would like to be able to protect pages from vandals or spammers, as well as helping new users of the site. I haven't been playing GTA for very long, and thus far I have only IV, but I hope to get VC and SA at some point to gain a bit more knowledge about the series.

 * I suggested that he request a promotion as he's a good editor and is obviously trying to help the wiki so he'd be a good Patroller. Tom Talk 12:47, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * You've been around a while and have done a pretty good job here. -Bunny J. Dying to talk to me? 13:18, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * You've done a good job here and over on Bully Wiki too, I've got no doubts about promoting you. McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 20:28, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Had no problems with this editor in the time he has edited here and on Bully Wiki. Dan the Man 1983 12:25, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ilan xd - Patroller
Hi, I am Ilan xd and I want to become a patroller in the Wiki. The main reason why I want to be a Patroller is to protect pages from vandals and other users who want to write incorrect information. I already informed about severel Users that vandalize, but I want to be an official Patroller. I don't know what should I write other than that...

I play GTA since I was 6, so I know alot about the series.

 * I suggested he request to become a Patroller because he's a good editor and I think he'd make an excellent Patroller :). Tom Talk 10:57, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think you'd be a good one. -Bunny J. Dying to talk to me? 13:15, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wcrolas990 - Patroller
I want to become a patroller because i saw many false things such as like Forelli Exsess can be obtained in firefighter missions and other so can i become a patroller. Two reasons there are: 1. Promotion 2. Making sure that vandalism doesn't exist. I really hate them why they do that its like they are just born or something because i always go to this wikia every day.--Wcrolas990 15:16, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think you've really proven yourself on this wiki, you don't seem to be a very experienced user. If you see something on the wiki that is incorrect you can change it, you don't have to be staff to change it everyone can. I'm glad you hate vandalism but it takes more than that to be a Patroller, just keep editing and helping out and maybe request a promotion again in a couple of months or so. Also after just checking your edits it seems like you don't quite understand what vandalism is, the edit that you reverted on the Misty page is not vandalism. Tom Talk 15:39, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm with Tom. Too early. You can continue to fix pages just the way you are. -Bunny J. Dying to talk to me? 15:45, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Promotion is and never will be a valid reason to be a patroller. Plus like stated above, you're inexperienced. Dan the Man 1983 18:01, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Dudebot121256 -Administrator

 * Closed July 7, 2011 as  Failed  Dan the Man 1983 01:58, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

I would like to apply for admin. I have a small amount of edits but I have the Experience and knowledge to become an admin. I have GTA 4 and I currently play it. I know what GTA is about and I think I could be trusted with adminship. There is also a call for more admins. -Dudebot121256 00:27, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * I don't know, we have quite a few admins, I'll think about it. Bunny J. (Talk) 00:33, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * It says on the Community Messages tab; "The wiki is currently lacking admins, to apply please start a community discussion in the Community Noticeboard." -Dudebot121256 00:37, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is this community tab? I can't see it since I use MonoBook instead of Oasis to view the wiki. There was a time when we needed more admins but right now we have too many (according to Wikia Central). I thought I took down the new admins request notice already, but since apparently not - can someone else find this "community tab" and remove the new admins request? McJeff (talk this way)/(stalk this way) 18:40, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Less then 200 edits is not enough to warrant rollback rights, let alone adminship in my opinion. Even then the quality of the edits count too. Dan the Man 1983 01:23, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sory, but I have to go with Dan. But you can try again in the future. :) Bunny J. (Talk) 17:17, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * There are various reasons for me to reject your application. First, you have less than 200 edits (as Dan said). Second, you seem to be inactive for long periods of time. And third, I think we have enough admins to run the site. I think we should edit the Community Messages tab. 涼宮ハルヒ(Suzumiya Haruhi) 06:34, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Same reasons as everyone else. Tom Talk 09:40, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5 days open and 4 votes of No. Closing as failed. Dan the Man 1983 01:58, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
