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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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. A little more finesse in your relations, and I could see this nomination pulling through. Something to work towards. Thanks for offering to help out, and I hope to see this nomination again when you are more comfortable welcoming the uninitiated. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 21:57, February 21, 2015 (UTC)
Really? A week passed and not a single fuck was given either way? If I was a petty bastard I'd take this as a slap, pack up and go. --Kainzorus Prime⚜Walkie-talkie 14:19, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
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. NestyContact me! 15:08, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
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). CrookThe Constantine District 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. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 18:53, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
