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.

Application users who are caught tampering with other users votes, such as changing a no to a yes, will have their request closed immediately.

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

LS11sVaultBoy
Hi there! My name is LS11sVaultBoy and I would like to apply for either the Roll Back position or the Administrator position because even though it may not seem like I do much editing, I actually do and I have started editing a lot more again now and I know that my spelling of most long, complicated words is very good and my grammar is quite good. My additions have mostly been around the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas area because it is the GTA game that I know most about. I also help out on a lot of other wikis and know how to edit quite well. The GTA series has always been my favourite set of games, mostly San Andreas, Vice City Stories and GTA IV including all its DLC. I think I would be a good admin because I am a good editor and a friendly guy to ask for help.

Much Thanks,

 * 200 edits or so and I would say yes. -- ILan ( XD &bull; Edits &bull; Home ) 16:02, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you're a good editor and all, but as Ilan said, around 200 edits would give you more chances. Don't get me wrong, I think you might get a spot in the wiki staff, just not right now. Try looking out for pages lacking info, or with fake sources.   Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 17:34, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hi there guys, though I never really wanted to be anything more than an ordinary editor I would like to make a request to become an admininstrator. Normally I can be found contributing to vehicle pages. I have amassed around 360 edits since joining the community in October 2011. Though my edit count is relatively low, I have made a number of "heavy" edits (1'000+ characters). I would like to become an administrator so that I would have the power to really improve the vehicle information for GTA V. I have a lot of editing in mind and could do with some extra abilities so that I can greatly expand on the information. To add to normal editing, I also report vandals and other problematic members, such as Yemi on 9th December. I'll leave the voting to you, the wiki community, your comments will be appreciated.

 * J helped us a lot with the GTA5 vehicles-related articles. He deserves Patrollership, but I think it is too soon for him to become an admin. -- ILan ( XD &bull; Edits &bull; Home ) 18:45, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, normally users get to patrollership first, and get to admin later, but JB is a special case. I think his edits are quite good, and though the quantity ain't that much, the quality is great. In my opinion, you are ready to step up. - Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 18:47, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think you are a very good editor, Im no one in this wiki man but I can tell you have really worked har to find info about the GTA V vehicles to expand this wiki (Ray boccino (talk) 23:30, January 7, 2013 (UTC))
