| I am perfectly capable with the admin rights (I am Mario Kart Racing Wiki's bureaucrat and an admin of Nintendo Wiki). I also have a long experience in formatting/syntax, as demonstrated with my signature burger, and wish to help out even further. I see by looking above I need to have been here a month and have at least 100 edits; well, for a time, I held the highest edit count of anyone on the Wiki. | ||||||

Oppose: Anyone with a talkbubble/signature that completely garish (indeed, anyone who ignores the visible passage "please don't use talkbubbles on this page as we need to number the votes") clearly has little self-respect and is in no position for administratorship. ~Minish (talk) 00:56, January 27, 2013 (UTC)- Oppose: I have a few valid reasons as to why I feel you shouldn't be trusted with administrative rights. The first would be your first RfA and your second. You may notice your statement in the first RfA I am perfectly capable with the admin rights (I am an admin on SNN) and have welcomed a hell of a lot of users. I also have a long experience in formatting/syntax, as demonstrated with my signature burger, and wish to help out even further. I see by looking above I need to have at least 100 edits and have been here a month, which I have been. I am here quite often as well and have the eighth-highest edit count. is almost exactly the same as your current one. You haven't taken your time to state why you should be given the rights or why you would like the rights. You really don't provide much at all. And you seem to be hounding for rights, it just doesn't seem right. Additionally, the last time you edited was on June 30, 2012. You've been inactive for roughly 200 days and you come back and immediately want rights. – EnemyPeacemaker 01:09, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose: My my, aren't we skippy to get some rights! I noticed all the activity you've had at the wiki in the past couple of years – like little to none!! : D I'll have to agree with the above votes on this RfA in your inadequate "long experience," and want to point out your apparent "highest edit count," and not to mention your erm...."burger" is...well different? but anyways, I don't think you're quite suited for the job. Maybe if you had some good qualities to show off? ^^ Sorry. – Wattz2000 00:44, January 28, 2013 (UTC)- Oppose: Wow... You come out of nowhere and immediately ask to become an admin and you expect people to support? You don't even have a good reason as to why we would give you these rights. We need more than "I want these rights because I used to edit here". Green Rupee 05:16, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose: I must agree with Wattz and Jazzi. As much as I like you (haha), I seriously do not think it works for you to walk into MarioWiki randomly after a couple of years and then decide you're going to run for adminship.
- You've had only 100 actual mainspace edits your whole entire account life on this wiki, and that clearly is not enough to even begin to think about giving you adminship.
- And Jazzi pointed out how one of the previous RfAs you made had nearly the exact same reason for why you should become an admin. And that just blows it, honestly.
- If you can get buttload more of mainspace edits and prove yourself a trustworthy, honest, and confident user, I will take into consideration of promoting you to adminship. But you unfortunately have not proven any of that, so obviously there's not much more to say here than... no. Sorry, dude. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher.

I won't vote, seeing as how I do not believe in democracy, but from past experience I can vouch for this person being completely unfitting for any position of authority due to being borderline obtuse when it comes to arguments. Maybe you should incorporate a certain threshold of aesthetics for this position as well. We're all still suffering the occasional acid flashback on account of the massive nuclear holocaust of 10,000 years of progress within the fields of art and culture that your "burger" represents. --AuronKaizer! 01:52, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hello; I am hoping to become an admin of this wiki. I have helped out many times on here espically with the Paper Mario: Sticker related pages. I am also here nearly everyday hoping to add more to pages. I alsohelp out in creating new pages. I also would like to apply because although there hasn't been any vandalism lately, I've been noticing many fanon pages being created on here. Just a quick note that I am Lightning Flash but I changed by username because this one sounds better with me. I'm hoping to get adminship and thanks for your time.}}

- Oppose You're kidding, right? – EnemyPeacemaker 11:02, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose At this point, I don't think you're ready for adminship. You're a good editor, don't get me wrong, though~ I may support you if you're requesting rollback. I don't think there's much need in more administrators at this point in time. The Puzzle Master 19:41, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry dude. Not now. As amazing of a help as you've been (you've been a great editor), taking on adminship is a big thing and I don't think you've been here long enough for me to say yes. I don't know you really well yet, and I'm not sure I can trust you. But I'll agree with Wattz, rollback I will support. I also agree there we really don't really need another admin right now. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. (Talk)(GCWaves YouTube channel) 19:19, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Wattz2000 (administrator/bureaucrat)
- ends May 20, 2013
Hello, MarioWiki. : ) It's me, that guy who did stuff and now doesn't. : P Well, I aim to make that "doesn't," a "didn't." In other words, want back in the game so-to-speak. I feel that my leaving was kinda a bad move, this place needs an admin, and per RR's recent messages, he's leaving. : / SO, to start off this official RfA for his replacement, I would like to make a formal apology to the editors of the wiki for leaving. From the time I left, I was in an emotional rut in which I was kicked out of a group of friends, lost some personal acquaintances, was swamped with schoolwork, and lost my father on the first. : / With all of that, I simply could not edit, however, they say the best thing to do when you lose someone is to keep busy. I am very sorry for leaving the wiki the way I did, just too much sentimental value to this place to ever let it go. So, I have been trying to reengage myself in a wiki-reform. : P It's not that I want the rights, it's that I simply want to make sure the wiki gets a suitable replacement for its head bureaucrat. And now to show what I've done to deserve a position:
- MarioWiki is the wiki I have the most edits on, being 16,347.
- I have been editing Wikia since January of 2011, and have since made great friends even on this very wiki.
- I have helped extensively in adding in articles when I first began.
- I did a great deal of work re-categorizing articles, as well as licensing a very large sum of our images.
- In this year, I worked on a large amount of our stub articles trying to get us to our spotlight, and sadly, I was one of the maybe 2 or 3 doing so at that time.
- I am experienced in the ways of the wiki : P (I do not use RTE, I use Monobook, I run a bot active on other wikis, I have been an admin on nearly a dozen other wikis, and I know how to css stuff : P)
- I have helped push forums and other aspects of the wiki's advertising and global image.
- I was a trusted administrator here at MarioWiki for about 17 1/2 months, and in a good amount of that time, was a bureaucrat.
- During my time of administrator, I cleaned the wiki up with deletions, licensing, categorizing, and some minor rewordings here and there at least once every week or other week from the last time I did it.
- I know many of the users here and have befriended some of them from time to time, and I do try to gain some good relations with them.. Though RR will be leaving soon, it's sad to say we'll lose one of our best. You're gonna be missed, man.
Now, I may not be the best with words, but I will say that I'm qualified and that I should at least be an applicant for RR's replacement. Like I said, you will be missed, RR. It's tough to not edit around here anymore, and life's boring. : P So, I thought "what the hell," it might be time I came back, and I'm hopefully going to get better soon and with that edit soon. Thank you for your time, MarioWiki. The Puzzle Master 10:59, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
