Demotion - Mortsnarg

 * Closed as Demoted by Monk Talk 07:33, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

For the same reason as Myth hunter, Mortsnarg is almost equally as inactive and should therefore not hold a staff position that another, more active user could hold. Like Myth hunter, you can also see December in his last 50 edits. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 10:50, April 6, 2016 (UTC)

 * Alex has been a really, really good friend to me, but as you said, his activity is decaying, and therefore the staff position could belong to a more active user. Sorry, buddy. Take care of yourself :) Monk Talk 11:31, April 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's been almost a week and he hasn't shown up even to discuss about his demotion request. Not a patroller-worthy attitude. Sorry man. TGS96 talk stalk 01:51, April 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Jesus, yeah, I'll say it's gotten pretty bad honestly. I can make an edit here or there, and I want to get more done; but I really don't have the motivation. There's a few full projects here or there I'd still like to get done, but it's more than likely gonna be few and far between. I'm not going to be gone, but I'm not gonna be active either. I can understand completely, no issues here. Mortsnarg (talk) 02:28, April 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. It's still good to know you haven't lost all faith ahd you're gonna pop by once in a while. In the meantime, have fun in the real world, take care of yourself, buddy :) 07:33, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

Demotion - Myth hunter

 * Closed as Resignation by Monk Talk 16:34, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, Myth, but it's become beyond a joke when I can still see edits from December in the top 50 of your latest contributions - that equals to less than 12 edits per month. Myth can be said as an average editor in the last few months. I understand and totally respect he has/had examinations and internet troubles, but when no warning of this period has been made, and when, despite having at least some, evidently temporary Internet connection to making some edits, he barely makes 2 in a day of having access, I know he's stepped the boundaries of what should be an acceptable and responsible staff member. It's been great having you around, but you are currently commiting an offense documented in a new policy I'm creating soon, which should've been introduced years ago. Myth make the minority of edits, like adding italics to GTA titles, loosely once per month, just to secure his staff position, which is not responsible for a staff member. On a side note, his activity across Wikia in general has been loose. Time to go Myth, sorry. Monk Talk 05:26, April 6, 2016 (UTC)

I don't get enough time for wikia due to many reasons. Hence, I am resigning from all the wikis I hold staff positions on.

MythHunter 007 - Patroller

 * Closed as Successful subject to probation by <font face="Tahoma" size="4">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:38, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

I just normally asked for applying for Patroller to Monk and he suggested I should be one. So far what I've done is fixed minor things (i.e. typos, picture locations, and links); I've also created the pages like the ones in Races in GTA SA. I don't have a particularly large collection of GTA games, only GTA III, San Andreas, and GTA VC. I don't have a large amount of edits (roughly 802 as of today), but I am an admin at the GTA Myths Wiki. I have some experience with coding. I'm fairly busy so editing wikis is more of a side hobby to me. I personally feel I should have more edits before applying for something like this, but I'll do what others say (hence why I'm here). Well, that's all I have to say.--  MythHunter 007  Talk  05:05, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Comments

 * I'm in the middle on this but I'm giving you a chance. Your edits are patroller-like in terms of numbers, but they aren't patroller-quality and most aren't constructive. Besides, I haven't seen you remind users of the image policy before. <font face="Comic Sans MS">Mr. Ferrari (<font face="Comic Sans MS">talk ) 06:54, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * After suggesting it on Facebook, I think he's come quite far since his last attempt at requesting - barely a few months ago at the least. Some reasonably productive edits, but I think more constructive edits and possibly more activity could secure you a place without probation, so for now, probation is a must IMO. <font face="Tahoma" size="4">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 09:36, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

 * Like the others said. Your edits still need some improving, but a probation won't harm 12:17, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Seeing the comments above, I think a probation would be good for you. You're doing it well recently, so it is a yes. - Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 15:10, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

JohnnyD-the-VGNerd - Rollback

 * Closed as UNSUCCESSFUL by Jeff (talk·stalk) 20:30, March 13, 2016 (UTC)

While I have no proper privileges or experience for adminship, as I've been here for quite a long while aside from the mistakes I've committed, I'm wondering if I'm best suited as a rollback for GTA Wiki, considering as how I've been doing edits pretty well on a daily basis, even if it resulted in revisions. Again, I'm not fit to be an admin (as I've been an admin back then from another Wikia, but demoted myself due to lack of efforts) so a rollback will do if you approve of it. 00:19, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

 * Even with your edits and quite the experience, I don’t see you being worthy as a patroller if you even consider yourself not suitable to be an admin. Also, it is vital for a Staff member to follow the policies, particularly the media policy, something which, in my opinion, is lacking for your promotion. No offense, but not yet. Thegtaseeker96 (talk) 01:45, March 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * You have been a reasonably active user on this wiki, and I believe that you are able to perform as a Patroller. However, as "Thegtaseeker96" has stated, you must ensure that you follow our Media Policy when you upload images, as the last few images that you uploaded fail in this respect. I will wait for the opinions of other Staff and/or community members before I make my decision on whether you should or should not become a Patroller. Until then I am neutral. TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim  ( talk  |  contributions ) 05:05, March 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * After reading the comments of other Staff members and an experienced former Bureaucrat, I am afraid that, at least for the time being, you cannot become a Patroller. Though it was, as "McJeff" said, a long time ago, starting and carrying on "flame wars" is not a good sign of a good Staff member, and while I believe that you have changed since then, that blip, along with your bad Media Policy compliance, has convinced me that you cannot become a good Staff member at this point in time. However, if you improve your contributions and show that you can follow our policy - and in particular the Media Policy - better, you can certainly apply again and pass. TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim  ( talk  |  contributions ) 01:33, March 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Your contributions are petty slack tbh. The only edits you really make are to your user page, and the only files you upload are of your personal vehicles. To be a Patroller, you need more constructive edits. <font face="Comic Sans MS">Mr. Ferrari (<font face="Comic Sans MS">talk ) 06:05, March 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * As per TFG. Most of your edits are to your user page. I became a patroller by cleaning up pages, maybe you could try the same. <font face="Old English Text MT" size="5">Sam <font face="Old English Text MT">Talk 21:50, March 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * I remember blocking you from Bully Wiki when you and another user decided to export a flame war from some other wiki to BW. That was a long time ago, but taking your lack of substantial contributions to this wiki into account, it's enough to push me over into 'no' from 'not yet.' You need to demonstrate that you've got a good grasp of the rules and that you can be trusted to follow them. Jeff (talk·stalk) 05:27, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

Johnny, whenever I had a new editor who wanted a promotion but wasn't qualified, I'd tell them the same thing - keep making good edits, participate in community discussions, help to enforce the GTA Wiki:Media Policy, and in your case prove that you can control your temper. Flaming another editor in response to trolling is far from the worst thing you can do, and GTA Wiki has had editors who came back from being blocked to go on to be administrators, and editors who failed their first request for Patroller go on to become Bureaucrats. This was a 'no', but not a 'no never' - just keep working and ask b-crats and administrators for advice. Jeff (talk·stalk) 20:28, March 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know my comment won't change your mind, though the reason behind this was because a troll user (known as Basically1dowrk) had been jumping one Wikia to the next and create childish insults against me. I'll admit that me, retaliating wasn't a smart idea, though he claimed that he'd change his IP to evade a global ban by Wikia, which turned out to be false and was dealt with. JohnSignature.jpg 01:42, March 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with all the points made. You aren't really suitable to become a Patroller. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 10:50, March 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Even though I'm not a bureaucrat anymore, I'm going to close this because it's been running for 2 weeks and it's obviously not going to pass.

Monkeypolice188 - Bureaucrat

 * Closed as successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 07:54, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

So, after considering the advice given from Leo and his unfortunate departure, I've decided to go for it.

I don't mean to jump on his grave, by all means, I am following what he recommends, and he was a dear friend, and I know this is what he wants, so here goes...

The last few months have been quite a bitch in short, but in a few weeks, I'm sure I'll be over the moon, and a promotion of this level would really fuel it. I don't need to explain myself, you all know what I do around here, whether you hate me or like me, I'm here, and that's that :P

All I want is for you to be honest, really, I really don't mind if you vote no, and considering what Sean thought of me back in summer 2015, I really don't know if I'm actually suitable for this role

Hey guys. I noticed the Wiki's looking for staff lately. So here I am. Applying after my resignation. I'm back. Because A) I have more time now, and B) I feel safe here.

You know the drill. You know, I'm a grammar freak of some sort xD not to be TOO active due to school and whatnot, but hell, if I can be Patroller, that'd be great. Of course, I'll visit and check up more than I'll edit, in case shit's going crazy.

Camilo Flores - Administrator

 * Closed as successful by Leo68 (talk) 01:26, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Hello everyone. How was the new year?

Well, as you guys know, after seeing Doc's resignation and after thinking about it, I decided to apply for the admin position.

Well, you guys know something about me. I'm Camilo, or Cam for short. As you can see, my activity focuses mostly on checking pages and doing some cleanups lately (especially the Design Gallery as a task from Monk). So yeah, I'm not specialized on something particular, but more like an extra that, despite not playing GTA lately, I'm still here for the patroller duty.

My reasons to be an admin is basically the idea of rename images with bad names and any kind of deletion in the wiki, since, as you can see, any kind of rename I simply ask Monk for said purpose. Since I'm not specialized in solving problems here, especially from bad users, I would make a mistake with the tools and, well, being considered "trigger-happy" (if it's the correct term). I'm sure that, with the help of the staff, I would correct this issue in no time, so I'll be fine. Of course, I can detect any clear sight of vandalism, so I understand the basic patroller's task learned from the start.

Flaws? Well, you know that my grammar is a common issue, so if you think it's problematic, there's no problem on say "no". I know I don't speak English in my country by default and you guys said that is unfair to hold someone's grammar, but I'm still worried that this would affect on my promotion (as well as any other reasons to not apply).

So, well, that's all. Any vote and opinion counts. Thank you for your time and have a nice day. -- SWAT Cam F     04:18, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

 * Being a great active patroller for the past few months, I'm sure you'll be a great admin too. I can understand that your grammar is not very good since English is your second language - as I did fail my second language exam a few times - but what really matters is the knowledge, and the character, which honestly you have.

You are a great contributer and really deserve it, however, the language problems are really screaming at me here, to the point I have to fix every page you edit due to language issues. however, that shouldn't stop you from being Admin. You are capable. Good luck, buddy :) <font face="Tahoma" size="4">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 09:31, January 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe that you do deserve the Administrator position. As you yourself have stated, your grammar is sometimes (forgive me) quite atrocious, and it was terrible grammatical errors by users like yourself that initially inspired me to join this wiki. However, that being said, you are otherwise an excellent member of Staff, and will be a good Administrator.

 * I don't see a single reason for saying no. You are going to be a great admin. Also I wiuld like to apologize for my inactivity. I am having problems with my wifi from past few months(In fact mom is thinking to change it). Myth(Please leave your threats here/Wanna Stalk?) 21:22, January 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Let me say thank you guys for the support in this promotion. Just let me say that, in order to avoid any kind of issue, I'll avoid using the block tool until I get enough experience to use it wisely (unless there's something too obvious). Of course, I'll stick with the rule of "3 warnings = block" and "only the third block can be infinite". Other than that, I'll be as efficient as I did in the patroller position and I'll do my best on my new admin position. Once again, thanks.

I have + 510 edits, and I've been active on this wiki for two months. And I know a-lot about coding templates. I'm trying to be friendly with everyone. I have been playing GTA for six years now, so I know alot about the series. I own GTA III, GTA VC, and GTA SA. I get along with pretty much everyone on the wiki and I would love to be part of the GTA Wikis staff so I can help new users out and help keep this wiki clean. --MythHunter 007 03:28, November 7, 2015 (UTC)

 * No offense intended, but the way this was organized tells me you're not quite ready. Usally, users who apply after 2 months have made a more significant impact on the wiki, and their edit count is above 1000. Won't always be a no, but it is now. Leo68 (talk) 06:43, November 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but if you think adding links to '$' and adding italics to 'Grand Theft Auto' is patroller-worthy edits, then I don't know what the world has come to. Your edits aren't constructive enough, it's simply 500edits of adding links and italics. Sorry, it's way too early, not to mention you haven't exactly used the image policy reminder on any user.

 * Sorry man, but no. I have enough trust on you that you can be a good patroller, but you should wait for a couple of months, while staying active. That will sure earn you a patroller position. Myth(Talk/Stalk) 16:12, November 7, 2015 (UTC)

 * I feel that you are a good contributor to this wiki, as well as worthy eventually of becoming a Patroller, but you have yet to make adequate use of your rights. As Marcus suggested to me during my first, withdrawn request for promotion to Patroller, you should start showing that you have the right stuff to be a Patroller by notifying me or other members of Staff if you notice a user in violation of the policies of this wiki, and also by issuing Image Policy reminders to users who have violated the Media Policy for the first time. If you retry in a while, after proving your moderating skills, I will be happy to give you a "Yes" vote.

Monkeypolice188 - Administrator
Closed as successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 22:48, November 6, 2015 (UTC) <p style="font-weight:normal;">Hey,

<p style="font-weight:normal;">So, after numerous (over 6 as far as I remember) suggestions from my fellow wiki friends, I've decided to (finally) apply for Administrator. It's to remember that Andre was one of my favorite friends and my main thanks go to him :)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Hopefully, you all know me by now (It's a doubt you won't, considering how active I am lol). Basically, I'm Monk, known as the brains for the vehicles of this wiki. I edit daily, very active, which I consider another advantage to being an admin. I'm constantly upgrading and improving articles, mostly vehicles, to get the best, most accurate information out of them. I deeply thank anyone who supports me with this, as I'm often referred to as the "car" guy here xD

<p style="font-weight:normal;">My work? Well, A LOT. As I said, I work on vehicle articles, therefore I'm constantly collecting data, whether that be speeds, acceleration times, or prices, etc. I'm also constantly using my own knowledge to further upgrade vehicle design and performance descriptions, as well as engine specs, details, and imagery. As well as this, I often link my template work to vehicles. Recently, I completed this, which, prior to working on a long time project found here, was suggested by a member of the community (as you may know, I'm very considerate to what community want and how I can work around it to improvise or fit any regulations, etc), where the initial idea was to implement an imaged-table of vehicles for the Vehicles in GTA V article. AS well as all that, I've being so active that, I've even managed to be the creator of many DLC vehicle cars, such as those as part of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 DLC, the Toro, Brawler, T20, etc, and I've added more than 100 video files, many of those being the official soundtracks of GTAV/Online (which, btw, I had to create articles from, and had full permission from the owners to do so). I also consider many of my projects as a huge success, thanks to other users too. Er, what else? Oh yeah, grammar. I think, even despite my major memory loss, accident, problems, etc, my grammar has really improved and I rarely make mistakes, so you can trust me (well, you can trust me, not my tablet, whom makes a ton of typos xD).

<p style="font-weight:normal;">On from that, I created a largely-favored To Do List, which, I consider one of my main projects, it being part of the "GTA Wiki:" articles xD.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Now, why do I think I should be admin? Well...

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I've finally concluded that, as I do say myself, I've learnt a lot this year. I think (and so do others) I've really improved here, whether that be attitude, contributions, or general likeness received from others. I've made my mistakes, I'm not afraid to admit, in fact, I think my attitude was awful when I first joined, so I just hope we can all put that in the past (to be exact, Archive 1 xD), and move on. I want to fill the gap Andre's left us, and hope to impress you all in the future. I think my activeness here will really benefit my chances of being a successful admin, so I can constantly be on the ball, ready for any vandals, rude users, or just general renaming or deleting of articles.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Now, here we go, go ahead and vote. Just be honest. &bull; &bull;  15:38, November 6, 2015 (UTC)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Thanks.

TAlim 1994 - Patroller (re-application)
Closed as successful subject to three months probation by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 22:59, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

Good day, I wish to re-apply for the position of Patroller. My reasons remain the same as my last application, and I only wish to add two other notes: firstly, as per the advice of other Staff members, I have attempted to take a more active role as a policy enforcer since my last application, and I have issued several Image Policy reminders to the appropriate users; secondly, I have now (at the time of writing this message) made 1,097 edits on this wiki (including the creation of one new page), approximately double the number of edits made since my previous application.

 * I feel you are definitely able to become a Patroller now. However, I still recommend probation just to test you out when you actually are a patroller. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 10:48, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * Righteo, you've certainly improved, so, now, the only issue to tackle is your lack of edits and activity. You're going to be a good staff member for the warning and dispute-side of things, but in order for this to be successful, I really think you'll need to become more active so you can be fully aware of these issues. Obviously, you don't need to be as active as some of us (for example, me who's online every day as I have absolutely no life lol), but every few days is really necessary, unless, albeit, you make a warning that you'll be offline for a given/private reason. I think you're capable now, I may seem slightly contradictory to what I said last time, but honestly, you'll do good. I think the break you took (or whatever it was) worked.

Myth hunter - Patroller
Closed as successful subject to two months probation by Leo68 (talk) 00:36, October 3, 2015 (UTC) Hello fellow GTA Wiki users. I am Myth hunter and I want to become a patroller on GTA Wiki. Until last month when I got inactive due to exams, I was regularly active here. And since my exams are over now I will be active here as much as I can. I clearly understand all the policies of the wiki. I have around 1500 edits. I was previously a patroller here but failed my probation due to inactivity as I was having connection issues. I have experience of handling staff positions on some other wikis also. I always try to be a civil user. So, I wish to become a patroller here and keep the wiki free from any vandals and rule violations. As I was previously demoted I will have to do a 2 months probation even if I am successful, so please vote Yes if you want me to be a patroller here and No if you do not want me to be a patroller. If I have anything to improve, please do state it in the comments. - Myth(Talk/Stalk) 15:23, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

Thegtaseeker96 - Patroller
Closed as successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 22:16, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone! Following Leo68's suggestion I've decided to apply for one of the two vacant Patroller positions. I'm sure most of the users don't know me properly, but I have been editing here since I joined in March 2014, with a total of 3834 edits until now (just a few got reverted by other users). Regarding my work, I'd say that I've been working specially on GTA V articles, revamping a lot of street pages with more pictures/description/map locations and also creating new ones, but now I'm currently focused on business pages, replacing bad and unlicensed pics and adding needed logos. I still contribute fixing, linking or doing some cleanups on random pages that I see around the wikia. About me, I try my best to be civil, calm and respectful with the others and to keep out of edit wars. As a patroller, I will also teach other users about the policies and protect the Wiki from vandals. I hope you consider my efforts when voting. Thanks for reading this!

TAlim 1994 - Patroller
Good day sir/madam, I have an interest in the position of Patroller on this wiki. I have been active since 25 May 2015 on this wiki, but have been editing since 18 December 2012 (on Halo Nation), though I have been most active on this wiki. I have made 511 edits (at the time of writing this message) since joining this wiki: mostly minor spelling or grammatical corrections (a few of these edits were made within a short period of time to the same page due to missed errors in my earlier edit(s)), and a relatively small number of more major page changes. I have not had any warnings and/or blocks, and as far as I am aware, only two of my edits (excluding my personal templates) to date have been undone: one due to ignorance of context, the other due to a contentious trivia article which I am currently seeking to discuss with "RainingPain17" (see my Talk page for more information regarding these reversions). I also seek to help other users where possible. On a personal note, I am keen on the idea of being an observer/arbitrator, as I intend to study to qualify as a lawyer, and I regard this as a test of sorts. I hope that you will approve. Thank you for your time.

UPDATE: Due to the contentiousness of my request for promotion, and after much consideration, I have decided to withdraw my request. Please continue voting until the end of the voting period, but even if the vote is successful I do not intend to accept the position at the present time, for the reason stated above. I intend to reapply for the position again at a later date, most likely within two months. If you have any comments on my decision, please leave them on my Talk page.

 * You're edits are good but there aren't that many. You're relatively new as well, so I'd say yes but only after the three month probation. I've also added the info at the top you missed; your name and the position you're applying for. Leo68 (talk) 01:11, September 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * To "Leo68": Thank you for adding the information that I missed; I was having difficulties with my signature, which occupied the majority of my attention, and I forgot to add the title as a result. TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 01:24, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * As I can see, you are working very well with these corrections and seems that you are very active and well organized. However, we don't know (or maybe I) too much about you, so probation. BTW, I've moved your comment above to look like a response. Keep up the good work. Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Dispatch Detonator Android.png Data Files Crate Android.png 02:56, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Same reasons as Leo and Camilo. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 11:33, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Unqualified. I see his edits but I don't see him using the rollback or giving users warnings/Image policy reminders if he gets promoted. Just because we have an empty gap in the staff, doesn't mean that anyone can get promoted. EagleIcon.png <font face="Rage">AndreEagle17 PS3 Triangle.png PS3 Cross.png PS3 Circle.png 14:38, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm with what Andre said. I think lately we as staff are forgetting what it takes to be a patroller. Just because he has good edits doesn't mean he can be a patroller. Does he understand the media policy? Does he understand the other policies? I think lately we are rushing to get someone promoted and that's the wrong way to do it. You can't be hungry for staff and promote anyone; it's like promoting a vandal.

 * Ditto to what Andre said.
 * To all: To those who support my probationary promotion, thank you for your support. To those who do not support my promotion, I have read the media and image policy, along with other policies, and I believe that I understand them well enough, though one can never learn too much. I have not reminded anyone of the policies and guidelines of this wiki for two main reasons: I do not believe that I have the authority to do so, and I do not wish to sound bossy, domineering or commanding beyond my rank. Should I be promoted, I will be much more active in moderating and/or reminding other users of policy, as I will be confident that I have the necessary authority. TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 16:46, September 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think he will be a good patroller AND chat moderator, as he did not revert any edits and/or give reminders to other users, and the fact that he was in chat every time but did not report any misbehaviours makes me think that he may not use his tools after all. I'm very sorry, but until he proves himself, it will be a no from me. <font face="Georgia"> M C <font face="Courier"> My Co mp ut er  <font face="Monoface"> Master Of Ceremonies  02:03, September 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * To "MarcusCheeKJ": Is not the purpose of a probationary promotion to give the one being promoted a chance to prove himself/herself? As I have already mentioned in my general comment above, I do not remind people of policy due to my lower rank, and I am reluctant to sound overly domineering for my rank. Perhaps it is due to my family culture, which has a strong Japanese influence, even though my family are mostly Chinese, but I am always somewhat reluctant to seek out and "antagonize" my peers or superiors, unless the misdemeanor is severe and obvious. As for reverting edits, the reason why I have not done any is simple: I have yet to encounter any obvious cases which require reverting. In addition, I am worried that I may accidentally revert useful edits, as I do not know exactly when the bad edit was made, and it is not necessarily the most recent one. TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 02:52, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * There's no harm in reminding other users of policies if the policy is being breached, every user have the right to do so. Also, as mentioned by Jamal, there's no rush to fill in the gap, and in my opinion, this vote was set up too early. I need more time to understand your character, your behavior, and most importantly, are you suitable for the job? In the meantime, you can still patrol around here, looking for vandals and make meaningful edits. And, as I said, until I satisfied, I'm not going to change my mind. My apologies. <font face="Georgia"> M C <font face="Courier"> My Co mp ut er  <font face="Monoface"> Master Of Ceremonies  06:52, September 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree with you Marcus. Good point. I also do not see you using your rights TAlim and I also think it is still quite too early for you to apply, having just arrived here for a couple months. To Leo and Vault Boy, I think we need to remember what it takes to be a good patroller and not just pick anyone to do the job and fill in the gaps. We've had a couple staff members that weren't worth our time. McJeff and The Tom would look over certain things that we aren't looking over when giving users rights so that we don't give rights often to the wrong people. We need to remember that. Sorry TAlim.

 * To "Smashbro8", "MarcusCheeKJ": Your apology is readily accepted. I hold no hard feelings if I am not promoted, much as I would like to be, and since everybody keeps mentioning it, I will attempt to overcome my cultural inhibitions to be more authoritative in reminding other users of policies and guidelines. In the event that I am not promoted, I intend to re-attempt a request no earlier than a month after this vote closes. Thank you for your opinion. TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 06:41, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but it is still too early for you to apply for a position here. I would like to see you give more contributions to the wikia before I give you a Yes. Good edits are the most basic thing anyone can do here and are in no way a good enough reason to promote anyone. Maturity and commitment with the wikia are fundamental, specially now, with so many staff members semi-active, including myself. DLVIII   Talk  17:04, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but seeing the Willard thing, I can assume that I reverted my decision to "Neutral". BTW, the trivia on Willard becomes untrivial since the appearance of Kraken Submersibles, and the Kraken is listed as "Kraken Kraken". Just giving a point of why the Willard trivia is no longer... trivial.

 * I'm going to extend this until next week as it is extremely tight. Leo68 (talk) 02:08, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * You have the right attitude and good intentions to be a patroller, but I believe you still need to get more of a grasp on GTA Wiki before you can earn a definite "yes" from me. "Not yet" for now because it would feel harsh of me to give you a "no" outright. --Tony42898 (Talker - Blogger - Stalker) -- 23:50, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I know we recovered our friendship again, but your attitude seems too keen, you seemed desperate to have a fact, that removed by Monk, re-added to the article, even despite he's in hospital and is completely unaware of the entire situation, not to mention how un-trivial and completely pointless the fact was, and how "intimidating" you was to 3 Bcrats and several other admins/staff, It was getting boring. However, you normally have a good attitude to editing, and have a good knowledge, you're also very formal. I voted neutral.

MarcusCheeKJ - Patroller
Closed as successful by Leo68 (talk) 20:43, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Hi everyone! I'm Marcus, and I have decided to apply for patroller on this wiki with the recommendation of some of the staffs here. Though I have not been a patroller in any wiki, but I have been a student leader in my school. Leadership is required for postions like these, as for a student leader, you have to use your leadership to lead the school, while you need to use your leadership to lead the wiki in the right direction and prevent vandalism when you are a staff in this wiki. This is what I am determined to do when I become a patroller, and I'll use my tools wisely. Apart from protecting the wiki from vandalism, I would always keep my promise to continue to work on projects that I have not completed (for e.g. Transcripts in GTA IV). I hope that with my leadership skills, I will be able to lead the wiki in the right direction, and free of vandalism. Thanks for reading this! M C ( My Co mp ut er ) 23:36, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

558050 - Administrator
Closed as successful by LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 10:27, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

Hello everybody. With the recently resignation of Messi1983 and promotion of Smashbro8, I decided to send my request to become the next admin. I don't think I have to introduce myself, since all members of the staff already know me and most of the wikia users (at least the more active ones) too. I have been on this wikia for almost two years now, I have been contributing with the creation of a lot of pages, some minor cleanups and formatting to make the articles more "presentable". I have been less active for the past month, thanks to some personal problems, but I should be back full time now. Despite my lack of active recently, I still make daily visits to the wikia to see if everything is in check. I want to become a admin for multiple reasons, the tools would definetely help me adit this wikia more efficiently, I also would be able to deal with vandals or problematic users better, and so on. I leave my request here and thank you for taking your time to read this. DLVIII  Talk  17:20, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Smashbro8 - Bureaucrat

Hi everyone and fellow wiki friends. After seeing the resignation of one of our earliest bureaucrats, I decided to send this request to be a bureaucrat and help lead the wiki the correct way. Over the few months of me being an admin, I did become less active in actually editing pages, but I continue to show up here everyday to make sure the wiki is running smoothly. I feel as a bureaucrat, I could help the community much more than as an admin, and welcome thousands of new users to the GTA Wiki. Leave your votes and comments below.

 * I feel you are more than able to take role of Bureaucrat. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 22:18, July 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * No protests from me. Active daily, both in editing and in chat, hard working, plenty of experience and an admin on several wikis. Yes from me. Leo68 (talk) 22:19, July 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Everybody here knows that he is my friend but that's not the sole reason, it's because, out of the five admins, Jamal is really the best one, considering that he always block troublesome users and rename/delete pages, he has been the best admin since his promotion, I think he deserves it more than all the others.

Messi1983 - Demotion
Closed as unsuccessful by Leo68 (talk) 13:53, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

It has been put forward that Messi1983 is to be demoted to patroller due to being too inactive to take part in his duties. This vote will be up for 7 days, in which time if Messi is to become active again this vote will be taken down. Please cast your vote below. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 12:03, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

I also noticed that VaultBoy demoted most of the inactive administrators/patrollers against policy and without holding a discussion on whether to do so, fwiw. Jeff (talk·stalk) 19:17, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * He usually edits on a 10 day interval which is quite less for a Bureaucrat.Myth(Leave your threats here/Want to Stalk?) 12:11, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dan still visits regularly and with the number of extremely active staff we now have, there isn't a lot for him to be seen actively doing. That doesn't mean he's not still willing to perform the duties, just that everyone else is beating him to the punch. I don't see the need nor the policy breach to warrant enforced demotion at this time. smurfy (coms) 12:22, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * As Leon (I think) suggested, I'd postpone this until 1 August, which would be two months from Dan's inactivity status date. Following my previous experience of demotion situations, I'm treading a lot more carefully this time around, as I don't want to feel like I've "hounded out" staff members. <font face="Old English Text MT" size="5">Sam <font face="Old English Text MT">Talk 12:33, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * For the past couple of months, Messi contributions almost exclusive boils down to edits in his user page or leaving messages to other users. He honestly doesn't strike me a someone who wants to keep contributing to this wikia all that much. (But that's just my interpretation of the situation, it doesn't mean I'm right) Regardless, I don't think that we should give him a free pass, just because the other members of the staff are already doing a good job in keeping this wikia on a good state. If he is not willing to contribute to this wikia all that much, theres a lot of other users who are, and keeping this users away from becoming patrollers or admins just because one single bureaucrat absence is not missed by the others sounds unfair to me. If he doesn't get demoted, at least move him to inactive or something. - DLVIII   Talk  12:41, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand Sean's point of view, however, i'm not judging him but his life appears to be too busy to be here, so I agree that he should leave, as wiki could be too stressfull for him. EagleIcon.png <font face="Rage">AndreEagle17 PS3 Triangle.png PS3 Cross.png PS3 Circle.png 12:45, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * In my opinion demoting him would be excessive now. Like Sam said, I would give him more time. He is a good bureaucrat with experience and I think he can still contribute positively to the wiki. DocVinewood (talk) 14:10, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't want to sound harsh or anything, but I have edited here from since August 2013. From that point on to now, Messi hardly ever edited or used his rights. I honestly feel he doesn't take interest in the wiki as a bureaucrat should. Sure he's said he'd show up more often when Tom had given the wiki over to Vault Boy, which he did, but shortly went back to being inactive. I feel the wiki can run smoothly on two bureaucrats and I even wouldn't mind being a b'crat here. I feel giving Messi more time to edit isn't worth it; he's been inactive for over a year before Tom and Ilan resigned. It isn't worth the time.

 * Well, for now, my vote is neutral because I don't know too much about Messi. It's hard to tell something for cases like this one, so uhh... neutral. Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Dispatch Detonator Android.png Data Files Crate Android.png 22:19, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dan isn't active enough to be a Bureaucrat, maybe he could move to Patroller, but when I spoke to Tom around the time he was moved to inactive, the decision would be wait until August 1, so that Dan could make a decision. If we reopen the vote again in August I'd vote in favour if his activity didn't pick up. As stated, he doesn't edit pages, just his user page and talk pages. Leo68 (talk) 18:23, June 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not going to vote, because Dan (Messi) is a good friend of mine. I have no intention of voting to demote him, but I'm not neutral and my vote wouldn't be fair to the community. I did however remove VaultBoy's statement about this vote being open only to staff. Staff only votes should only happen in very, very specific instances, and anyway Wikia Staff wouldn't accept this discussion if it were staff only even if it does pass. Bureaucrats aren't just allowed but supposed to use their better judgment when it comes to things like possible troll or meatpuppet/sockpuppet votes, so that's not a reason to make a vote staff only. Also, remember that this is not a majority vote, since this is a bureaucrat vote it would need a 70% "demote" margin for him to be demoted. Jeff (talk·stalk) 03:29, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just looked on the Staff page and the inactive staff section states that bureaucrats and administrators who go inactive are automatically demoted to patroller by policy - no community vote required. In that case, wouldn't Dan automatically have been demoted without the need for this vote? <font face="Old English Text MT" size="5">Sam <font face="Old English Text MT">Talk 15:56, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * I looked at it. There should be an inactivity of 3 months before listing a staff member as inactive and demoting them to patroller.Myth(Leave your threats here/Want to Stalk?) 16:08, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Bureaucrats can't demote other bureaucrats. They can promote and demote chat mods, patrollers and administrators, but can only demote themselves. So to get a bureaucrat demoted you need to ask Wikia Staff to do it. Wikia Staff won't unless they believe "community consensus" exists to do so - in other words there needs to be a large majority of people in favor of demoting. Over on Bully Fanon Wiki they made us keep a discussion open for 2 weeks over whether to demote the inactive bureaucrat who hadn't logged in for 2 years.
 * Jeff, he was talking to other staff members whether or not he should demote the inactive staff. EagleIcon.png <font face="Rage">AndreEagle17 PS3 Triangle.png PS3 Cross.png PS3 Circle.png 19:40, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * As it stands yes 5, no 3, 2 neutral. The vote will remain open until Thursday but for now it stands as successful. I still stand by the statement of postponing the vote until August. Leo68 (talk) 05:03, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry Leo but you are wrong. As it stands, the vote is NOT successful. 70% is required to pass - even excluding the neutrals 5/8 is only 62.5%. smurfy (coms) 05:15, June 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * The vote is unsuccessful but I've told Tom that the vote will reopen in August if Dan's activity does not pick up, as this was agreed arrangement before the vote was requested. Leo68 (talk) 13:53, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

Myth hunter - Patroller

Hello everyone, I am Myth hunter and I want apply for Patroller position on this wiki.

 * Oh, I forgot about to tell about that ban in September. It was lifted the next day I was blocked. LSVault blocked me because I added some information on a wiki from GTA Wiki. At that time I didn't know about the plagiarism rule. I removed the info I added and talked to Vault and my block was lifted.Myth hunter
 * Of all the Myths wiki representatives, Hunter is the only one who actually helps this wiki, by editing articles and reporting vandals, I think he deserves the spot. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk / stalk / blog ) 15:31, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've thought about it, and I'm putting my faith in you. However, taking into account what Leon said about your previous ban, I think probation would be best. SJWalker (talk) 15:33, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Sam changing to a probation vote. It has helped already, Andre is a great example of how well it has worked. Leo68 (talk) 15:35, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hunter is a very good contributer, however, I never saw the events Leon was on about, so I can't say YES without a probation.
 * Seeing the work Myth has put in here, Myth deserves the job to me. He is also one of the few non-staff users who have helped change the community of this wiki, which is one of the most important things to look at when applying for promotion.
