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

Dodo8 - Patroller
I'm on this Wiki since July 1 st. I have 229 edits. I like to help whit what I can. I fight vandals' edits when I see them. I am visiting the Wiki everyday. I have experience in being an Admin. I was on Empires & Allies Wiki, and now I apply for Dragon City Wiki. Those are Facebook games tough. Also I contributed a lot on Club Penguin Wiki (about 10,000 edits), altough I've never had any special rights, and I once quit since the Admins planned to move on an old-style wiki wich I didn't really and eventually left the game. I know to read XMLs and HTTPs, altough I'm only 13 :). I like to create and improve templates. You can see some on my Userpage. I'm from Romania, so I might have some grammar errors but I try to correct them as soon as possible when I see them. I played GTA: San Andreas, Vice City and IV on PC (I don't have consoles but my PC is high tech tough) ;). I can't wait for GTA V and I'm planning to add as much information I can when it comes out. Well, that's all. I hope I convince you and you'll vote "Yes".

Thank you.

Joshualeverburg1 - Patroller

 * Closed July 28, 2012 as  Failed  - Messi1983 (talk) 06:16, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

I have been on this wiki for almost a year and have many edits and contributions. I have a passion for GTA and love playing the games and I feel that I would be a great edition to the GTA Wiki as a patroller. Protecting the integrity and accuracy of the wiki aggainst vandalisem would be my number one priority. For these reasons I ask to be a patroller.

 * He's an alright editor now but I don't think that I will ever say yes to this. He was blocked for breaking the civility policy multiple times, he spoke to me and other staff members in an insolent manner, and that for me rules out him becoming a staff member. He also created 2 rival Wiki's after been blocked out of spite. He has been alright since he returned but there are still grammatical errors in many of his edits, and I've reverted some of his edits for been pretty pointless. Tom Talk 10:02, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same as Tom. I cannot trust this user with rollback rights. -- ILan ( XD &bull; Edits &bull; Home ) 17:15, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * This edit demonstrates that he lacks the temperment required to be an effective staff member, and that he wants the promotion for all the wrong reasons. Jeff (talk|stalk) 05:13, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your edits are of fine quality, for the most part that is. I would have voted "yes" but the thing is, your short temper gets the best of you. You don't see other users running around cussing and fussing with other users who disagree with them. I mean calling others "Dumb S---s" isn't going to fly around here, seriously, do you kiss your mother with that mouth? If you didn't have such a short fuse I'd vote "yes". Oh, and one last thing, brush up on your grammar. Come back after you've learned how to control your temper and how to use proper grammar, then you might stand a chance of getting Patroller.

 * User has a bad attitude towards other users and a short temper, two key no no for staff members on here. With 6 no votes, the result is clearly unanimous, so I am gonna waste little time in closing this request. Messi1983 (talk) 06:16, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

Bob.cutlass2 - Patroller
Closed July 14, 2012 as  Successful  - Messi1983 (talk) 05:33, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

I was just looking around and i've noticed that there's only one patroller on this wiki. The names Bob Cutlass, and i'm a huge GTA fan and have been editing this wiki for almost 4 months now and I would like to apply for patroller. I can help improve the quality of this wiki, and revert vandalism if I can become a patroller. Since I joined this wiki I have already made many contributions. If this wiki were to have more patrollers, than there will be less vandalism, and I can greatly help in keeping GTA wiki clean.
