==Admin Nominations==
===[[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]]===
A bit overdue. {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}}
{{voteclosed}}
Hello, all. I've been pondering this for a while and now I think I am finally going to put the application in. With vatsa less active lately, we have a small gap in our coverage. A lot of you know me from my time on the IRC and the various tech projects around the Wiki, such as CSS modifications, the homepage and old fanon portals, etc. I'm an occasional revamper but I'm always near IRC and the Recent Changes feed, watching for vandals and user requests.
==[[Istruttori|Istruttori nominations]]==
So, my case. Right now, we have two highly active admins, Sima and Nesty, but unfortunately they are both on the same side of the planet. It would be useful to have someone on the other side, so that we are covered by admins 24/7. A lot of you know my IRCbot, TheRaven, has a paging system built-in (go into IRC and type "r.help" for details). Admin powers would also make it easier for me to keep up on the Wiki tech changes, so that Sima doesn't have to fiddle with special rights.
I ask you all to post your honest evalation - yay, nay, or undecided for any reason - below. I will respect the community's ruling, as always. Safety and peace upon you all.
===[[User:TheSt0ryTeller]] - Graduated into the Istruttorium===

Aaand to seal this thing up: I second what Sima said, and I add one thing: I fully expect you to work on every "shortcoming", "flaw", or "attitude", whatever it's called, that they mentioned -- just because you're staff doesn't mean you know everything, but just like Elch, it means everything you can now learn can be learned on the field. Life is a constant struggle, and we always can learn more and improve ourselves, so keep growing and improving on your wiki carrer like you did as an apprentice and never settle for less, kid. And remember that if you don't I'll have your ass on my wall with a nice plaque below it XD The council has voted, the staff has also made their oppinion clear -- welcome to the Istruttorium. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D.

Teller is worthy of a place in staff. He is sociable and polite. Though sometimes in the past he has not used a very formal manner of writing or has not made a very good job of something, he has improved tremendously and is a great editor now. He has done plenty of revamps, helped out other users and done several favours for them. A while back I myself was sceptical if he should be in staff, but now I'm certain. He's a capable editor, a good community man and he is a pleasure to work with.
I am proud to nominate my now-former Apprentice, Arcemz, to the Bureau. Arcemz has successfully completed the Apprentice Initiative with an outstanding record of achievement. He has completed each assignment I have given him no matter how diverse or extensive. He has worked well with other editors on the Wiki during his apprenticeship, both collaborating with our quality editors and countering those that would damage it. He has been one of our prime Fanon writers, and now I believe he is ready for the Bureau. Assassins, please vote on Arcemz's admission to the Bureau, and let us grow stronger through this victory. ~<span style="color:#000;"><b>DarkFeather</b></span>

#Tricky vote. Well I don't always like your behaviour, you overuse smileys to near Uditore levels of ridiculousness, and you can't seem to shake off the "noob" aura you somehow created for yourself. Granted you've gotten better since the days of "Fail Chef", but it could be improved on. I've also noticed that you tend to be a bit of... well trying to avoid an insult, you're a nice enough guy to those of a higher rank than you are, though occasionally appear to be deliberately harsh to those beneath you. On to your editing, well it’s okay. You seem to understand the Policies and MoS well enough, yet a few mistakes can usually be found on your major work, more than what would be expected of a Staff member. But of course, it’s not all bad; otherwise I wouldn’t be voting Yay. What you lack in editing, I’m sure you will learn as a Staff member. Your help blogs are incredibly useful, and I would’ve loved to see them here when I was beginner, newbies now days should have no excuse for dodgy editing because of those help blogs which are easy to understand, whilst still being detailed enough to not miss anything. Your image work, specifically with “HQI”, was not asked from you, nor were you rewarded for it, however you still did it, and many of the Staff members, Apprentices, and regular users now have nice avatars to display. Too... summarise, you’re a fair editor, a decent community person, clearly dedicated to this Wiki, and your work is appreciated by everyone. I’m sure you will be a great asset to the Istruttorium.<br />I set the standard gentlemen, meet it if you dare. =P<br />-- [[User:'R BlaiddDdraig|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;font-size:19px;color:Grey;">'R BlaiddDdraig</span>]] [[User Talk:'R BlaiddDdraig|<sup><span style="font-family:FrankRuehl;color:#76FF7A">Enter...

#I have to agree with what Blaidd had said before. I am not going to write such an extensive paragraph as he did (I'm rebellious like that), but my opinion quite comes down to the same thing. Up until a couple of months ago, I would not have agreed on you entering the Istruttorium, but you grew from... I feel like saying "from a caterpillar into a butterfly" but I don't think that sounds quite right. Anyways, you've quite mastered our manual of style, except some secondary details, but that is easily oversee able and those can be easily learned while being staff. You aren't particularly friendly against the entire community at times, though neither am I, so I don't see that as much of a problem. Though I did find it quite funny how you had been overly friendly to the community these last few days, when the Istruttorium vote was drawing near. But I suppose that is just human behaviour, and not really worth paying much attention to. Despite these minor flaws, I am sure you will be very useful to the Istruttorium, and I'd like to see you become a member of it.

It is time, it is… THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Well as you are all aware, I can write an essay on things like this very easily… and I intend too. 12 was the first Apprentice to join the Initiative, and to this day still has the highest quality interview, giving detailed answers for every question. It lasted 4 – 5 hours in-between the massive responses and us disconnecting frequently, but it was eventually finished. Passing that interview with such ease set the standard for his future as an Apprentice, clearly making a good start to the Apprentice Program, he only continued to flourish. He quickly got involved with revamping large articles, no messing around with small tasks. This came as a surprise to me, I had not expected such good work so suddenly. As time progressed, they got bigger and bigger faster than I anticipated, and with each passing task, the quality increased, I soon realised that there was going to be little for me to correct with each assignment. He is a very fast learner, faster than me, and his work here seemed to come instinctively to him, knowing exactly what to do with few too no questions or guidance from me. By around Rank 6, my work was practically done and all that remained for me was to review his assignments, and update the Progress Log and Pigeon Coop accordingly. His revamps are of the highest calibre, and his writing skills are marvellous and among the best we have here. Remaining dedicated to the Wiki always, whether he was working on a project of his own, or an assignment, his activity was exceptional, and helped to promote several articles to GA and FA status. As some of you may be aware, he has also earned the position as ''Chief Editor'' of the '''WikiProject Memories: Absolute Symbiosis''', a monumental feat at the mere Rank of 7, after doing small revamps on every single page listed in the Project. His understanding of the Policies and MoS is also decent, he knows the rules well, and follows them. His knowledge of the Assassin’s Creed universe is also fair, as he has played all of the main instalments, read the ACB novel, played part of Bloodlines and Project Legacy, and watched Lineage and Ascendance. To summarise this point, his editing skills are brilliant, and well above what is expected of a Staff member. On to his community skills and socialness. No joke, no lie, no doubt; he is one of the nicest people here. He never starts arguments or insults other people, and is always polite to everyone; rank has no relevance. As you are all aware, 100% friendly users are not something we have an abundance of here, there’s no denying that. Now although most people who do tend to be a bit on the “harsh” or “mean” side usually only give it to people who deserve it, no one can argue that a user who can keep calm and kind at all times would not be a great asset to this Wiki. Whether on the IRC or Wiki, if a user requests his assistance, it is given. To conclude, he’s been a member here since late 2010, and has accumulated over 1 900 contributions. He’s completed the Apprenticeship, and waited very patiently for this day. It’s been a pleasure to mentor and work with him, and the small fact that he was capable of tolerating my ego, argumentative, and sometimes cruel and cold nature is a clear indicator that he is ready. It is time he got rewarded for his efforts.<br />
Hey everyone, on the request of Vatsa, I've decided to try my hand and see if I'm ready for a formal Staff position.
Small side note… all “TL;DR” comments will be counted as an automatic Yay vote. ;)<br />
I have been a frequent editor to the Wiki for around one and a half years, and I feel I have grown to be a useful and respectful editor, though I aim to improve on myself and my editing skills further. So, without further ado, I'll leave the voting to the judges and stop trying to sweet-talk myself. :)
#There are so many reasons as to why I'm voting "Yay" for 12, when I came here, he treated me with kindness, didn't judge and was laid back (in an internet sort of way). I'm on almost, every single day and every single hour I can be on and during those periods, I've seen 12 be kind and generous to his peers, anons and higher-uppers. Though, there are some things he can improve upon, such as some wording difficulties '''BUT''' that's about it, it troubled me to think of one but I found one at least. I'm not saying he's perfect, nobody is, we all have flaws. Now, onto his work. They were done well, one flaw I had found among them was image placement, not a big deal, some articles you had revamped had pictures abit "out of place" but I cannot really judge your work since, well, I had some flaws in mine (don't nit-pick). Overall, it was well done, some of your work could've used some quotes but that's '''very, very, very minor'''. He's helped me many times when I needed it, he was with me all the way through my Apprenticeship and I'm sure he was with alot of the others. He's the Chief Editor of WikiProject: Memories and has revamped alot of articles to a GA Standard and even one to an FA Standard. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in the position I am at the moment, I can't begin to make it up to him, this is not a Thank you, this not a gift, this is the truth. If 12 doesn't make it then surely I don't deserve a spot on this Staff, 12 was a great asset to the Apprentice Initiative and I'm absolutely positive he will live up to expectations and make a great Staff member, you must not deny him this opportunity. After all, he put up with Blaidd, he earned it. Good luck 12, you'll be a great asset to the Wiki Staff. It's a Yay from this St0ryTeller, Good luck my broseph... --[[User:TheSt0ryTeller|<span style="font-family:Century Schoolbook;font-size:19px;color:green;">'''Teller'''</span>]] [[User_Talk:TheSt0ryTeller|<sup><span style="font-family:Gill Sans MS;color:yellow;">Words, On my Screen :O</span></sup>]] 12:26, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
#...I don't have nearly as much to say as the two of you up there, but here's my part. Since very early on, I've seen 12 as an exceptional apprentice, actively and consistently contributing to the articles, and visiting frequently. I've also noticed him catch and appropriately revert poor or vandalizing edits on several occassions.

#This really is a no-brainer for me. From the moment I joined, 12 has been my bro – A great source of conversation, advice and constructive criticism. He was always a benchmark for me as an Apprentice, and still remains so, even if I am of a technically higher rank than this godsend of a man, at the moment. This was a long time coming, and 12 deserves this position way more than I do. His editing is wonderful, his social attitude is insanely good, and his general awesomeness really just clinches it for me. If I had to choose my favourite Apprentice ever, 12 would be the prime candidate, (No offense to the rest of you, you're all awesome). I could go on for hours, but I will leave it here, I think. Good luck to you Twelve – To quote something that has happened a lot on the IRC over the 6 or so months I've been here, ''Elchzard brohugs Subject 12''.

#Although I have had a more than substantial absence, one thing I am certain of is 12's dedication to the wiki. Before I left, 12 was early to impress me with excellent quality edits, his patient, humble and civil attitude towards both staff and general users alike as well as a library of other assets. Eager to do his bit and then some. I see that nothing has changed since I've been gone, all he's done is continue to exceed expectations and grow into a user more than worthy of this nomination.

I honestly expected one of the lengthy speeches by Blaidd, but apparently the guy has gone silent. Back to the point, Kal's been a great help sorting developer articles. A few of them even came around "pointing" factual errors so we could have proper database. In a way, Kal brought us closer to the devs of ''Assassin's Creed'' series.

<p style="text-align:center;">Hi everybody :)</p>
After much consideration and after discussing this with Vatsa, I’ve decided to put myself forward for a staff position.
My major work consists of the development team articles, artist pages and image acquisition for the wiki but I will let [[Special:Contributions/Kaloneous|my contributions]] speak for themselves because I am not great at this kind of thing. What I will say is that I love this series, the great work other contributors do for the wiki and I strive daily to add to the wiki by sharing my love of the amazing images and artwork that are created for the games. What is important to me is the community; I have always tried to show friendliness to other users and the community and I have started many long (but hopefully interesting) discussions regarding certain aspects of the AC Universe.
===[[User:Amnestyyy]] - Graduated into the Istruttorium===
Regardless of the outcome I am honored to be considered by my peers and aim to continually improve my abilities as an editor.
Although I think Blaidd overestimates the importance others give to his long votes (quoting Vatsa, "I'm just happy there aren't any long speeches here.."), his vote and others are an yay. So welcome to the brotherhood, sister. -- [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User:D._Cello D. Cello] 15:28, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, fellow wikians. After a talk with Vatsa and some thought, I've decided to give it a shot and partake in a Staff position.
I've worked under Teller for a bit and have learned much in my time here. With the help of the other Staff members, I hope to become a great addition to this place.

Hey guys. As you may know, I was a Staff member before my departure last year. Now that I am back, I believe I have proven my [[Special:Contributions/Nostalgia AC|activity]] through the creation of over 20 articles and a large number of edits and time on the IRC. Before I became Staff, I completed an Apprenticeship under [[User:GuardDog|GD]] and helped promote seven articles to FA and seven to GA. I mentored an Apprentice and believe I could mentor one again. I believe I am ready for a Staff position again, so hopefully all you guys do too.

Hello people, I’ve decided that it’s about time we nominate him for a staff position seeing as it‘ll not only benefit us better but him as well. GI has been a welcome addition to the Wiki for months now and has currently been going through the Initiative but, with the absence of Kal who’s listed as his master, things have currently hit a rut. Apparently he was meant to have a last task but that’s something that could be completed after anyway, so what I am saying is, we should not only want GI in our staff but with the shortage of members, we need him there. He’s committed to putting in the work and the previous semi-absence has been explained, he’s told me that if the people are behind him he’ll put in the work to not make them disappointed! If that’s not staff-worthy, I don’t know what is! As well as the contributions to the Wiki’s mainspace, he’s proven himself to be a capable editor whom is well aware of source coding, creating templates and such, along with helping the staff members with their avatars.
Good luck, GI.

"...have established a respectful stature and attitude among other users and Rifaq."

#Holy damn. I didn't even know this was here. Then again, I was still absent a week ago, so there's that... Either way, I don't feel entirely comfortable voting Yes or No. Your behaviour hasn't been exemplatory for most of your time on the wiki (not meant as a stab at you, Kain, just stating a fact...) but on the other hand there's no denying you've done good work on the wiki as well. Ugh, dilemmas, dilemmas. As soon as I've made a choice, you'll be the first to know.

#I've probably attempted to phrase this at least ten different ways now, but the idea is: I appreciate all the work you do on behalf of the wiki (truly! lord knows I've bothered you so much over images) and I think you're a decent enough fellow, but your past actions kind of... precede you. I wasn't even around for those, I think, but I'm just worried you'll be too hard on other people. Not so much the regulars, but new people who might want to help but don't know all the policies and rules in place. No offense. If other people, who have known you much longer than I, feel it's a good idea to make you admin, I'll support that decision. (As an addendum, it's very easy to miss these things - I saw you put up the vote, so yes, I should've at least put something in the comments, but if someone didn't see it on the activity feed, they're unlikely to come to vote). {{User:Crookandcharlatan/sig}} 17:49, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
#Kain, first I saw of this as well. Stop in IRC some time and send me an r.msg so I can swing by. As soon as you're in, send "r.help" to #ACWiki to get the syntax. When I have your page, I'll swing by and we can chat about this. I echo crook's concerns -- I have no concerns about your editing or your time commitments; you have put in more than enough of both to earn a place as Staff. My concern is around supporting and growing the community, especially when we are short people outside of the forums as it is. This kind of support is crucial to being Staff, as we are the cornerstones of the community meant to pull folks together. I'd like to talk with you before putting up a vote. I'll put this on your talkpage as well.

Hello, all. I've been pondering this for a while and now I think I am finally going to put the application in. With vatsa less active lately, we have a small gap in our coverage. A lot of you know me from my time on the IRC and the various tech projects around the Wiki, such as CSS modifications, the homepage and old fanon portals, etc. I'm an occasional revamper but I'm always near IRC and the Recent Changes feed, watching for vandals and user requests.
So, my case. Right now, we have two highly active admins, Sima and Nesty, but unfortunately they are both on the same side of the planet. It would be useful to have someone on the other side, so that we are covered by admins 24/7. A lot of you know my IRCbot, TheRaven, has a paging system built-in (go into IRC and type "r.help" for details). Admin powers would also make it easier for me to keep up on the Wiki tech changes, so that Sima doesn't have to fiddle with special rights.
I ask you all to post your honest evalation - yay, nay, or undecided for any reason - below. I will respect the community's ruling, as always. Safety and peace upon you all.
We do need a tech-head, now that V is absent. Go, son. --Kainzorus Prime⚜Walkie-talkie 16:46, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
Good God yes. We desperately need more admins right now. I mean no offence to the current admins, of course, but it often takes a while to get a response. Having more around would allow things to be done a little faster. And I think you're an ideal candidate to fill in the gap that Vatsa seems to have left. --Crimson KnightIntercom 17:56, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
The vote is cast, Grand Master. Vatsa shall have a replacement.--Bovkaffe (talk) 18:08, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
It's been ages now, give Dark his Admin Hat. Especially with Sima hibernating due to school stuff. --Kainzorus Prime⚜Walkie-talkie 14:10, January 8, 2015 (UTC)
Well, a week has gone by and everyone is behind you. Welcome to the Bureau of the Assassin's Creed Wiki, Arcemz. Proud to have you with us, and good hunting. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 20:45, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

I am proud to nominate my now-former Apprentice, Arcemz, to the Bureau. Arcemz has successfully completed the Apprentice Initiative with an outstanding record of achievement. He has completed each assignment I have given him no matter how diverse or extensive. He has worked well with other editors on the Wiki during his apprenticeship, both collaborating with our quality editors and countering those that would damage it. He has been one of our prime Fanon writers, and now I believe he is ready for the Bureau. Assassins, please vote on Arcemz's admission to the Bureau, and let us grow stronger through this victory. ~DarkFeather
I have paused my playing of an Arkham City challenge map to vote oui here. You should be honoured. --Crimson KnightIntercom 09:59, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
This isn't the nay column... strange... still, too "lazy" to remove it. --TellerWords, On my Screen :O 10:02, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Barely seen the guy around, he's like a goddamn Batman Ninja. Hope he'll be more visible with this promotion. --Kainzorus PrimeWalkie-talkie 12:00, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Same reasoning as Kain, but I'd love to welcome Arc into the Inner Sanctum Bureau as one of our compatriots. You know what to do, Juhani Arcem Burg. Slate Vesper (talk) 19:30, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
One of the few users who sorted the multiplayer topics when he began editing here, Slate became an important part of the fanon section of this wiki. Hope you keep up the great work, Slate. Welcome to the order.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 12:20, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hey everyone, on the request of Vatsa, I've decided to try my hand and see if I'm ready for a formal Staff position.
I have been a frequent editor to the Wiki for around one and a half years, and I feel I have grown to be a useful and respectful editor, though I aim to improve on myself and my editing skills further. So, without further ado, I'll leave the voting to the judges and stop trying to sweet-talk myself. :)
I've seen enough of Slate's work and his IRC presence to say he's up to the task. I approve. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 03:51, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
What? Who said I don't like you? I think you're fit to be a staff member. ThatRandomUser~Lair of Randomness(Enter at own risk) 05:24, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
Yay I say, 'bout time as well. Lucan07Talk 06:23, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
I honestly expected one of the lengthy speeches by Blaidd, but apparently the guy has gone silent. Back to the point, Kal's been a great help sorting developer articles. A few of them even came around "pointing" factual errors so we could have proper database. In a way, Kal brought us closer to the devs of Assassin's Creed series. Welcome Kal, you are now part of the proud Staff of Assassin's Creed Wiki.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 12:20, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hi everybody :)
After much consideration and after discussing this with Vatsa, I’ve decided to put myself forward for a staff position.
My major work consists of the development team articles, artist pages and image acquisition for the wiki but I will let my contributions speak for themselves because I am not great at this kind of thing. What I will say is that I love this series, the great work other contributors do for the wiki and I strive daily to add to the wiki by sharing my love of the amazing images and artwork that are created for the games. What is important to me is the community; I have always tried to show friendliness to other users and the community and I have started many long (but hopefully interesting) discussions regarding certain aspects of the AC Universe.
Regardless of the outcome I am honored to be considered by my peers and aim to continually improve my abilities as an editor.
Definite yes from me. Your dedication to detailing the artists and developers of the Ubisoft teams, as well as your ability to obtain images have clearly helped to improve the Wiki, and while there might be a few hiccups when you type things out, that doesn't stop you from being a respectful and mature member of the community here. Slate Vesper (talk) 20:04, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
I've thought this should be so for a long time :) Elchzard(Talk) 20:18, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
As a friend (I think :P ) and as a fellow contributor, I believe that you deserve this. Best of luck. :D Crimson KnightIntercom 20:58, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Kal has been a beneficial editorial and commentating presence. Enough to make a good Rafiq in my book. Use it well, Kal. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 03:53, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
If anyone votes nay on this, I will kill him. Also, am I gonna' get a cookie for doing this? Yup, you're edits and (specific blog) are more than satisfactory. About Time. ThatRandomUser~Lair of Randomness(Enter at own risk) 05:27, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
I say Yay. The code of these sigs is huge Lucan07Talk 06:25, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
I cannot comprehend why anybody would have a reason to say no. Kaloneous is a people person, a dedicated editor, a fellow artist, and, in my opinion, a role model. ~ GI AuditoreComms Channel 08:37, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
I encourage fellow artists for their work, like Kal, to be recognized, and this is a prime example. Bogdan stretePS3Koldoom 10:34, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
The images really add a lot to the Wiki. Yay from me. =GuardDog 02:18, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, fellow wikians. After a talk with Vatsa and some thought, I've decided to give it a shot and partake in a Staff position.
I've worked under Teller for a bit and have learned much in my time here. With the help of the other Staff members, I hope to become a great addition to this place.
I've been around the wiki for about a year and a half and my work can be found here. Well...let the games begin!
That was... unexpected. Wholehearted "Yay!" from me. :) ~ GI AuditoreComms Channel 09:48, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Kal's siggy is hidden so well it's almost invisible! Crimson KnightIntercom 18:19, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys. As you may know, I was a Staff member before my departure last year. Now that I am back, I believe I have proven my activity through the creation of over 20 articles and a large number of edits and time on the IRC. Before I became Staff, I completed an Apprenticeship under GD and helped promote seven articles to FA and seven to GA. I mentored an Apprentice and believe I could mentor one again. I believe I am ready for a Staff position again, so hopefully all you guys do too.
Side note: Apologies to TST for nominating myself instead of letting him nominate me, but I felt there were certain things I alone needed to say.
I saw him work hard since my lurker days, and he's been active enough to take on a Staff role as of late - yay from me. ~ GI AuditoreComms Channel 03:58, January 20, 2013 (UTC)
Risin' up, back on the street, did my time, took my chances. Went the distance now I'm back on my feet, just a man and his will to survive. So many times, it happens too fast, you trade your passion for glory. Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive! --TellerWords, On my Screen :O 21:53, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
It's the ... Eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight... Wait, what? Oh, right. Nomination. I checked Nos's edit history, and I saw a good few solid recent revamps. Works for me. Yay. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 22:26, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
While it may be rather sudden, I can't argue against a prior decision regarding re-nomination, and Nos is an efficient and worthy editor as his history has shown, so I vote yay.Slate Vesper (talk) 01:04, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
I see no reason to not be reasonable. NestyContact me! 09:16, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
Since I have no time to make long-winded reason at the moment - DICKS. That is all. Also, you get my support. --Kainzorus PrimeWalkie-talkie 09:29, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
I don't know Nos. You're a great editor and a great guy in general, but I would have preferred you waiting a little longer before nominating yourself. It seems a little rushed now, don't you think? NestyContact me! 07:17, January 20, 2013 (UTC)
I chose to nominate myself now because I remember when War returned last year a rule was established that it was a two week wait before you could re-join staff. Because there were no other precedents regarding re-joining, I used that as a guideline and I re-joined the wiki two weeks ago. I do not disagree with your statement, Nesty, but I believe my activity and dedication here compensate for any rush in nomination. --NOSTALGIATALK 15:00, January 20, 2013 (UTC)
Been 3 days, 7 Yays and none opposing. You will be a great addition to staff, GI. I am sure of it! Good luck out there --TellerWords, On my Screen :O 12:53, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hello people, I’ve decided that it’s about time we nominate him for a staff position seeing as it‘ll not only benefit us better but him as well. GI has been a welcome addition to the Wiki for months now and has currently been going through the Initiative but, with the absence of Kal who’s listed as his master, things have currently hit a rut. Apparently he was meant to have a last task but that’s something that could be completed after anyway, so what I am saying is, we should not only want GI in our staff but with the shortage of members, we need him there. He’s committed to putting in the work and the previous semi-absence has been explained, he’s told me that if the people are behind him he’ll put in the work to not make them disappointed! If that’s not staff-worthy, I don’t know what is! As well as the contributions to the Wiki’s mainspace, he’s proven himself to be a capable editor whom is well aware of source coding, creating templates and such, along with helping the staff members with their avatars.
New members are direly needed about now. And I've always felt that GI would be great for the job. Oui. --Crimson KnightIntercom 15:00, August 21, 2013 (UTC)
With three nays, no yays, and Crook not intending to vote, I'll be closing this now. I'm sorry Kain, maybe your time just isn't here yet. Perhaps you'll have better results trying again in a while. I do hope you realize it is nothing personal, nor an indication of your editing skills. NestyContact me! 01:10, February 22, 2015 (UTC)

I nominate myself as the new leader!
That said, with Dark gone up to admin position, I feel this is a good opportunity to step up. Most of you know what I've done here over the years, several edits, rewrites, some new articles, and metric ton of images. Plus I'm still going at this daily, and don't plan to disappear into the void of inactivity any time soon.
But, whether this goes through or not, is up to you guys. --Kainzorus Prime⚜Walkie-talkie 20:33, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
I was going to let others post their opinions here first and then act based on those, but after seeing this particular comment - "What am I, twelve? I'm supposed to only have one of two extremes of an opinion, being it's the greatest thing ever or it sucks? Are you implying I can't have a complex opinion about the project, anon?" - I am going to tell you that you are not becoming a moderator at this point. If you cannot give a normal answer to a normal question, then you will not be placed in a position where you should be helping the community. The top message on your talk page already points out your unwillingness to reply to users' question regarding a policy that quite obviously all new users are not aware of. I also think you should first sit out your 'probation' period, since you're not doing a very good job of convincing me with comments like that, and quite frankly this change in your attitude has not taken place in over three years now. -- Master Sima YiTalk 10:12, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
Totally being devil's advocate here now, but Kain did remove the 'unwelcoming' message on his talkpage. CrookThe Constantine District 10:23, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
That's a good start, but the issue remains. -- Master Sima YiTalk 10:28, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
I've given this a fair amount of thought lately, but feeling-wise wasn't capable of coming up with a suitable vote (I'm a woman - don't blame me on working on my feelings, mmkay?). However, looking through the prerequisites section at the top of this page, I came to realize that - in my mind - there isn't really a decision to be made. "The user, before nomination, must...be unbiased, unprejudiced, and fair on all aspects of wiki-related subjects." "...be able to cooperate with other users and Rifaq." "...have established a respectful stature and attitude among other users and Rifaq." Although you are certainly an asset to the wiki, based on your attitude in the past (and perhaps present, I haven't seen enough to judge that adequately) I don't think you're very suited to be staff. NestyContact me! 12:03, February 15, 2015 (UTC)
My concerns are primarily around user relations. I believe you are completely a competent editor, Kain, but you are a bit rough around the edges for dealing with new folks.
