Count Caterpie
Ends on enddate

I'm horrible at this whole speech making thing.. so bear with me. I believe I should be granted administration powers for the following reasons.


 * 1) I have experience as an Admin on my site: The Mario Party Wiki
 * 2) Every time Vandalism has occurred on this site, I reverted Every thing back to normal and/or add delete tags.
 * 3) Not that I don't love doing that, but I have to "call up" (not literally) Galaxy to delete every page. Something I can do.
 * 4) Im one of the top Users.
 * 5) Dang! I love Mario games. That's was my last shot... oh wait
 * 6) Im on all the time - Count Caterpie [[Image:Party_Star.PNG|20px]] 02:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Super Support - I support, mainly due to the fact that you cleaned up the vandalism when that vandal with multiple IP's arrived. P.S.

Oppose

 * Oppose because you have not been on this wiki a month, you have made less than 100 edits (see here) and you don't seem to be familiar to how the wiki works (you posted your application to RfA first?) Maybe if you do some more editing (not copying from ) and stay around a few months, you might get a support vote from me in the future. Jordan Hatch talk 13:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit more articles? There are very few, if any protected articles on this wiki. You can edit most of them already. Why have sysop tools when you don't know what to do with them? Also, you messed up your RFA 3 times in a short period of time. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 23:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) I looked through your 'contributions', and almost all of them were welcoming new users. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, Mario Galaxy asked you NOT to do? Also, being able to make tables and signatures is not a qualification for being a sysop. If it was, I'd be Supreme Ultra Dictator of the Wiki due to my contributions to templates and tables. Plus there was that big fight on your talk page with SLJCOAAATR 1. Im sorry, but we don't even have needs for new sysops right now.

Comments
Unsure, we really need to work on content. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:26, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * @CC: I backed down on what I said to him then. I pretty much said whatever afterwards. Admins don't have authority. They simply carry out the will of the community. Ideally. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:16, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * However, that still doesn't get around the fact that there is no real need for more admins. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:18, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

This is not a request for adminship. Rather, this is a request for Bureaucrat powers. Phil.e. has not edited in a long time. Mouse among men has edited in an even longer time. I have been a sysop for a long time. It is time I asked for B'crat powers.

 * 1) I am in full support of promoting Mariogalaxy to Administrator, he has done so much for this wiki and has shown to be incredibly responsible. --- Count Caterpie 23:09, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

@CC: I am running for B'crat. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:02, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

I thought Administrator was another name for B'crat. Either way, I'm in support. --- Count Caterpie 22:35, September 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * A sysop is another name for an administrator. A bureaucrat is considered above admin. And indeed I have been here far longer. Late 2007/early 2008. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 00:17, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Has done little besides welcoming and marking pages to be deleted to help the wiki. Most edits are in his own userspace. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:21, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I am in opposition to the promotion of Launchballer. For the reasons MG mentioned above about Launchballer building his own museum of HTML pages, but also for the reason that he seems to have a real problem with authority as he refuses to listen to rules of the forum, mainly that signature policy. He can't even follow the RfA regs, which dictates that you state the rank you want to obtain and why you think you're qualified. Sorry, but no. --- Count Caterpie 02:29, November 26, 2009 (UTC) (BTW: We don't even need a third sysop. (Counting MG as a sysop.)
 * 3) Untill his act is cleaned up, and adds more content and less self promotion. Not that I have any legitimate say, but as and outside observer, being and admin and bureaucrat for many other wikis--http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/theoffice/images/c/c6/User_My_Name_Is_Tom_YingYangsm.pngMy Name Is Tom (Talk / Edits) 07:40, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Actually CC, PacBoyCraZ had set up the RFA. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 02:34, November 26, 2009 (UTC) Ah, would you look at that. Nonetheless, our other points remain valid.

Well, you see I have been making few edits than the previuos days, for e.g I made tons of pages in 2009 and early 2010...so I stopped because I found out the 'Father'(sarcasim) Count Caterpie didnt want me around and complained about me...well you see I had a tough time here and also cheated you guys..but you can release that I have made big edits and put many pictures after submitting myself to be a bad user..So i feel to be a better rank in the community.

I am just going for rollback. I agree that the wiki could use a few more rollbacks and admins, but I know that going for an adminship now would be a joke. Just rollbacks rights...  Super  duh...  Alpaca  21:05, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Nobody needs rollback, its completely worthless as it has the same effect as 'undo'. So, no. - Count Caterpie
 * 2) You've only been here a couple of weeks. Just like Shy Guys Suck. As to why I've got them, Count Caterpie is right, it's because I wouldn't shut up :L. And to Count Caterpie, the nagging problem in question - purely for the record - is Asperger syndrome.-- 14:49, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

More people should be administrators here. MarioPlayer149 or SuperAlpaca, DiscoDuck, My Name Is Tom, etc. Can I be an administrator too? I will restore nonsense and help this wiki. I don't really care though Shy Guys Suck 12:02, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think Shy Guys Suck can be an admin. I don`t know, shall I or you really promote him? MarioPlayer149

Also, please follow this page's rules and use the username RfA template. - Count Caterpie
 * 1) I find this almost laughable. Are you insinuating that these users are administrators? They aren't. Tom was banned, Discoduck can't spell, SuperAlapaca and MarioPlayer149 aren't sysops. No, we don't need more administrators, two is fine. There aren't enough problems on this wiki to warrant a third admin. Also, I don't think you're qualified enough, considering you've only been here about two weeks. You'll restore nonsense? I don't want nonsense. Also, if you don't care, then why are you asking for sysop rights.
 * 1) I think it's very self-explanatory. MarioPlayer149 and SuperAlpaca haven't been here for very long (neither have you); DiscoDuck's grammar would warrant a lengthy block for a single edit on my own Wiki (for which text talk isn't allowed). My Name Is Tom virtually set the site on fire with his flaming to the point of which both Count Caterpie and MarioGalaxy2433g5 had to both use their fire-extinguishers at the the same time to keep up with his sockpuppets and meatpuppets. By your own admission, you don't really care. I have had to update this request to what it should've been in the first place. Also, it's worth noting that you've just come off a LONG block, and so - for a LONG time - not a snowballs chance in hell.-- 18:41, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Sorry, but you just got out of a block. Also, you seem to be just getting the hang of wikis. Maybe when you get more experience. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 19:00, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * We'll decide on if you're ready by how your behavior on the wiki. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 20:06, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but did you think that because we rejected your request a few days ago, we'd change our opinion when you asked again today? - Count Caterpie 20:41, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I know he left some words out, but its still readable. He meant, "We'll decide if you're ready or not based on your behavior on the wiki" - Count Caterpie 22:03, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, just remove the "how" and everything makes sense. I kept on rewriting my edit. XD The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 22:17, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * It means voting ends on that day. The score is 1 - 3. The candidate only been accepted once. - Count Caterpie 15:21, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

On the day it ends it will be 3 weeks and 1 since I was unblocked so remember to change your votes if you accept because I would've been online for 3 months and 2 days after being unblocked. So change your votes then I you support me. Shy Guys Suck 20:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ends on March 19

Hi all! I'm BassJapas and I'm requesting rollback. Although I did not have the best start out on this site, going through the pages and removing the red links (at that time I didn't know the importance of red links. But I was taught it afterwards.), and then later swearing. I served a block, which I deserved, and came back a couple months later. On December 23rd, I came back to edit productively at the wiki. And between that date and now, I feel like I've really changed. My contributions are shown here. I've created categories, got rid of some redirects, uploaded some better quality images (still running roms to get the others), rewrote pages, and created some templates. I'm a rollbacker over at Zeldapedia, so I know what vandalism is, and what it isn't. I also know what needs to be rollbacked and what doesn't. I feel as if I'm ready for rollback on MarioWiki, and if I am granted rollback rights, I won't abuse it in the least bit.  B a s s  J  apas  20:04, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) You certainly have my support. Your contributions are numerous and you certainly helped out this wiki enough. And, as promised, all is forgiven. I caution you against saying you won't abuse your powers, since those who say that usually do abuse it. (Chancellor Hitler. Emperor Palpatine, etc) - Count Caterpie 21:17, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) From my experiences at Zeldapedia, I know you are able to bounce back and edit productively even if you have had a rocky start. You have also demonstrated your experience and judgement at ZP. I believe you deserve rollback on Mario Wiki for your contributions. -- Deku  Stick   Master  21:32, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) As we've disscussed on the IRC, you're ready. You can tell when there's vandilism and what measures must be taken to revert it. I think you'll be a good rollback.  Wind   Mage   Master  00:36, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Wind Mage Master
Ends on March 19

Hello. My name is Wind Mage Master (WMM) and I am here by making a request to become rollback on this site. Since around January, I have been an active contributor. I've caught many vandals and have reported them straight to the head of the wiki (CC). I also have a lot of knowlege of the Mario universe, and can usual tell if something is true or false, espically with character information. You can always count on me to be up-to-date with the latest nintendo news, I have many sources, and so when some fool edits an article about an unreleased game and lists all these things that are confirmed (take the Mario Kart 3DS page for example) I can instantly say "nope, not confirmed" while others are unsure. I admit, I ask for help a lot. I'm always like "I don't know how to do this. Help" and using my iPod limits my abilities on what I can do. However, using my Wii is an option (like Jazzi suggested on the IRC, thank you) and once in awhile I have access to a laptop, problem solved...mostly. Being an editor on the SMW, once upon a time, also gives me an advantage. I can sometimes instantly reconize if an article has been copied and can report to it to an admin. So there you have it.

 * 1) I've looked through your contributions, and I think you are in a good position. You certainly have skills we could use in a rollbacker. I like how you also listed some of your drawbacks, which can be covered by other users; you are candid about your own ability to edit. -- Deku  Stick   Master  01:20, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I, too, am in support. Although I'd like to see you edit a little more, given you only have a quarter thousand edits. - The Count.
 * 1) First, I'll say since I've known you, you've really grown a lot. Taking your days of ZP into consideration and just this one part, you were much less mature than you are now. And seeing all your edits here, you have matured a lot. You know your stuff, and while you have your technical set backs with your editing system, you are a pretty good editor and you're ready for this. -- B  a s s  J  apas  01:27, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I have not seen enough of you or, for that matter, your edits to make me want you to become an admin. Oops, hadn't realised that this also was for rollback - in which case I pledge full support.-- 20:39, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Alright...looks like me and Jazzi get rollback then, since the due date is up. Wind   Mage   Master  23:28, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
