GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion/July 2015 Administrator Election/AndreEagle17

Here's my admin cases.

Case 1
A new user created a random account and added nonsense to a page, changing Trevor's main quote to "I suck Michael's dick", what should be done to this user??


 * Obvious vandalism shouldn't be tolerated, no warnings needed, at least three months of block for him, he won't be a good faith user.

Case 2
(Based on a discussion with DonVecta)

An user, new or old, removed content from a page, not all content, but a huge part of it. An admin gave him a warning for removing content, is he right?


 * No, some users edit using mobile or they accidentally remove content, when they remove content, ask them why they did that and they will explain carefully what happened. Unfair warnings may spook good-faith users from this wiki sadly.

Case 3
(Based on my past and other users)

What about image police? The user added a good picture but it's poorly named and unlicensed, what should be done?


 * You can't be mean with image policy, you should first explain how image policy works, the user may speak to you and ask what image policy is and how it works.


 * He named it properly but the image lacks a license? Well, tell him polietely to add licenses on his images and give him support by licensing his image.


 * The user ignored image policy after being given 4 image policy warnings, so now what? Still, you can't be very mean, give him a maximum block of 2 weeks and tell him that if he wishes to add images when he is back, teach him to follow image policy in the meantime.


 * We have lost good contributors and photographers in this wiki because of that, we can't be mean with people.

Case 4
An article needs to be deleted or renamed, can I simply rename or delete it?


 * No, many users, including staff members, have different opinions, you can't be selfish as an admin, people have to agree with you before doing something, you should start a discussion before using your tools. You can only do that if it's obviously wrong, for an example, if a vehicle name is clearly Bison and the article name is Aries. Other than that, you should discuss first.
