GuardDog- Result: Yay

Vote closed Click [show] to view the votes and comments.

I would like to request application for the Istruttorium as I have reached nearly 600 edits that include expanding, reformatting and rephrasing multiple articles to be both grammatically correct and easy to read. As a writer, I am always particular about word choice and grammar, thus I think I can be helpful in reviewing and correcting any article. -- GuardDog, 06:49, November 11, 2010 (UTC) Yay I have to agree with what GuardDog had said. He's an experienced editor who has proven himself worthy and trusted towards myself, War and most users. I have seen him reword many, many articles; all for the better. As he said himself; his edits "..include expanding, reformatting and rephrasing multiple articles to be both grammatically correct and easy to read." --THIEF 07:05, November 11, 2010 (UTC) 2.Good editor, good contributons. Time to fill up the ranks. -- D. Cello 13:59, November 11, 2010 (UTC) 3. I know the feeling of being in your position Guard, and I would like to vote yay because all of your contributions are well formated and thought out, and you're very good at re-formating articles. Good luck to you and lets hope you don't dissapoint if you get the job. Campbell430 20:29, November 11, 2010 (UTC) Nah, he won't dissapoint. :P --THIEF 20:40, November 11, 2010 (UTC) 4. Good man, good work, good edits, good attitude. Bout time you got in the Istruttori. Hope you don't disappoint. Alam ko na kaya mo yan, kaya boto ako sayo :D --WarClownWanna Talk? 01:10, November 12, 2010 (UTC) 5. Got my vote. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 19:19, November 13, 2010 (UTC) Alright. Then by the power invested in me, I officially declare GuardDog a member of the Istruttorium. Congrats man, I knew you'd get in someday :D --WarClownWanna Talk? 11:30, November 14, 2010 (UTC) Nay

Campbell430

To quote Jasca Ducato; "...you're [Nominated user] an average editor who has earned himself a bit of a name amongst the "higher-uppers", although I wouldn't say it is a particularly good one."

Did some of the timeline pages. Added some good images. Proven himself more than a medal abuser. --WarClownWanna Talk? 14:51, October 2, 2010 (UTC) Yay Well, I nominated him. So that means I vote for him. --WarClownWanna Talk? 14:51, October 2, 2010 (UTC) Vote canceled at the behest of D. Cello. --WarClownWanna Talk? 04:32, October 3, 2010 (UTC) He's a good contributor. And he seems like a pretty good guy. -- Master Sima Yi 20:11, October 2, 2010 (UTC) In the beginning he was alittle tough with catagories but redemed himself by working extreamly hard with good edits, i vote yes DanMan7308 21:25, October 2, 2010 (UTC) DanMan7308 Nay Hmm. Sure he has a lot of edits, but if you'd look at his contribs, are they much different from a normal user? Most of them are "clean ups", removing and adding categories, adding a sentence to the timeline or just adding one image. Now I know we've got two empty spots, but c'mon War, his contribs are mostly "Added space", "moved image" or "added full stop". Plus, if you look at his full contrib list, You'd see that there is OVER A MILLION blog comments/articles, userpage edits and usertalk discussions, and then after those it goes back to "moved image", etc... For us Istruttori to get noticed we wrote up whole WikiProject pages (and they're freakin' long), helped Cello with creation of Policies, created brand new articles that were important and properly formatted, fixed the IRC and many, more. You have to stray away from an average editor to become an Istruttori, and sadly, I don't think Campbell is much different yet. I know most of the current Istruttori (including myself) probably comment around on these talk pages aswell, but most of our contributions are excellent and much needed. I really wouldn't think "Adding some crap to the timeline, or added some good images after being a medal abuser" would qualify as being an Istruttori. You'd have to do better than that. I hope this changes some of your minds that voted for Yay. The Thief 00:32, October 3, 2010 (UTC) And I hope this changes your mind for voting for Nay. As I said in the nomination's opening statement, he helped out with the timeline pages. Not only that, but he did some of my workload for me during my absence (he added them timeline images Schinnini uploaded to their respective pages) and also uploaded some of his own (great quality too). Plus, he's very active and nearly always present. I'm not about to go against another party's vote, but I felt I needed to get this out in the open. --WarClownWanna Talk? 04:32, October 3, 2010 (UTC) No, It doesn't. Adding images to an article while you were absent or adding some images of his own isn't such a big deal to be honest. :P, Plus, alot of normal users update the timeline page. The Thief 06:42, October 3, 2010 (UTC) You do know that I'm talking about the Major Events, and not that oh so long page, right? --WarClownWanna Talk? 10:38, October 3, 2010 (UTC) Still, that doesn't really rebut everything else i've said. :P Normal users also edit the Major Event pages, look at the member list and see. XD The Thief 11:38, October 3, 2010 (UTC) hi, i dont want to sound too desperate, but i would really like to get in the institutore and have been nominated, but you voted for nay Is there anything i could do to make it a yay. Thanks :D Campbell430 18:58, October 3, 2010 (UTC) I don't know, seperate yourself from normal users? I don't know why you're being nominated really. Almost every Istruttori gets nominated for something special, Jasca Ducato had a huge history of rewriting articles to the best standards, and watching over every single move made to them. I had written the Policies and created many more official pages, templates, etc.. War_Clown helped alot with the WikiProjects and created many pages towards it and created templates/more. I guess the only reason I voted nay was because you're just like any other normal user, you haven't done anything really that special. "Added a few images and made a few edits to timeline pages after being a medal abuser" doesn't really seem like Istruttori material, and you don't even know how to spell Istruttori.. so, mhm. I think War's just trying to fill in the gaps into the Istruttori staff panel. So I guess you're lucky no-one really looked into your nomination in detail. You'll probably win the vote, lol. I have no problem with you though, i'll still be friendly. :D The Thief 21:15, October 3, 2010 (UTC) 2. I'll go with Thief on this one. Campbel, you are a good editor, but so are a lot of other members. And while you've done good things, you're... curriculum of awesome stuff isn't nearly as extensive as I would like a Istruttore's to be. The Istruttorium is a group that by name-definition means they are a higher tier, moderators in power and teachers in mind, and as such, they msut separate themselves from everyone via their fantastic edits skills and judgement. You, for example, write in lower caps oO Don't ake this bad, kid, but I think you are Istruttore material... just not yet. -- D. Cello 21:28, October 3, 2010 (UTC) 3. I'm voting no, his edit history is far from exemplary, just four days ago he made an extremly pointless and stupid edit that not only broke the sourcing on the page, but that I consider to be vandalism. A large number of my edits in recent times have been reverts of his own, and although he seems to have stopped with his category plastering and stupid picture placements, he still has a long way to go in my eyes. As Thief said, you're an average editor who has earnt himself a bit of a name amongst the "higher-uppers", although I wouldn't say it is a particularly good one. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 21:36, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Second nomination - Result: Yay

I think I have proven myself to be worthy to join the Istruttori because I have Started to Create the Memories pages, created quite a lot of locations pages, added loads of images to pages, helped other users and I feel that I have matured greatly since I joined this wiki. I hope this will make you vote Yay. Campbell430 17:46, October 31, 2010 (UTC) Yay Helped me alot in the memory project, does great contributions and starting to give advice to new editors, it would just be cruel not to accept him. DanMan7308 16:55, October 31, 2010 (UTC) DanMan7308 Has made some really valuable contributions by now and has shown himself to be a good community man. He's got my vote. -- Master Sima Yi 17:06, October 31, 2010 (UTC) Active. Responsive. Good edits. Respectful. I approve. Hope you don't disappoint once you get the job. --WarClownWanna Talk? 17:48, October 31, 2010 (UTC) I'm all for yay this time, Campbell has really come around and proven himself to be Istruttori material, at least in my eyes. I know I'm not of the Istruttori, but I can say that Campbell has really proven himself since his last nomination. For all the reasons stated by the other's above me, I back them in this and vote yay. Hope this works out for you, Campbell - you've proven to me that you'd be a great member of the team. Assassin-Rayne 19:13, October 31, 2010 (UTC) He has my vote. As DanMan stated above, it would be cruel to decline him. He's a great contributor and has probably been one of the reasons we're #8 on the gaming division. Good Luck Campbell. --Rossko 20:38, October 31, 2010 (UTC) My vote is still a no, but I'm cool to take a chance with him. His first nomination wasn't even a month ago. Very few could go from regular editor to Istruttori-level contributor in that time, but let's see if he is one of the few. I expect a attitude no short than exemplary and perfect, and if you mess up, Campbell, I will be the first one to kick your ass. Good luck. -- D. Cello 22:06, October 31, 2010 (UTC) Yay. Like the others have said, you have improved greatly, now have better edits, and great to the community. I don't think I need to elaborate here, I guess we'll give you a shot, by the way, as sad as it seems; I don't think non-Istruttori members count in the vote process, but that's okay as you already have over 3 staff votes. Just to let you know though, I'm still a bit 'meh' about all those edits you made which removed all the sources from pages, hahaha. --THIEF 22:42, October 31, 2010 (UTC) Great, then. Il Direttore or il Carmelengo, lock this thing up and let's put him on trial. I already gave him Istruttore powers, follow the procedure and add him to the listings. And I want eyes on him all the time. Don't dissapoint us, Campbell. -- D. Cello 16:12, November 1, 2010 (UTC) Nay

Assassin-Rayne- Result: Yay

Good morning, everyone. Since the beginning of this New Year I've been reconsidering my previous "no thanks", and yes I have finally come to my conclusion. My only worry when I had said no was that I couldn't be on often enough, but lately, while editing and talking with Master Sima, GuardDog and some of you others, I've come to realize that I believe to have proven that although I'm not on as often as I would like (and therefor don't get the time to make huge contributions often), my smaller edits do tend to add up and help the wiki regardless. Furthermore, although I do not make large contributions often, nearly every one of my contributions -regardless of size- have been of great quality and I believe that has to count for something because I've always believed in quality over quantity as it is. So here I request to join your ranks, to uphold the greatness of this wiki and be a respectable, good-natured editor as I have from my first day here (hopefully much more-so in the coming days/weeks/months). Yay I don't think I really need to explain, but I'll do it anyways. He may not have done really big edits, but he did many small edits of great quality. He also quickly undid vandalistic edits and is a good community person, in my opinion. Perfect Istruttori material. -- Master Sima Yi 14:38, January 4, 2011 (UTC) I totally agree with what Sima is saying, as he is a great editor and an excellent contributor, and also works his hardest to keep this Wiki up to standards. 100% Yay. Campbell430 17:16, January 4, 2011 (UTC) What they said-- Vandal hunter, high quality contributor, active and always being friendly towards both ACWIKI idiots (such as myself last night -rubs head-) and other users. -- THIEF 00:23, January 5, 2011 (UTC) One of the more active members whose edits I've seen are always of good quality. Attentive of vandals and those who add speculation, and reverts them accordingly. Definitely a Yay. =GuardDog 00:49, January 5, 2011 (UTC) Same BS they said. Been a long time coming too. And that fills up the final slot. --Jacques le BlancReception Area 07:06, January 8, 2011 (UTC) Alright, that's that. With you, the Istruttorium is complete. By the power invested in me, I hereby declare Assassin-Rayne the 9th, and final Istruttori. Welcome to the order. Grab that goblet full of Darkspawn Blood, take a sip, and join in the club. Don't go disappearing on random intervals now. --Jacques le BlancReception Area 07:06, January 8, 2011 (UTC) Nay Comments Okay, that's three staff votes-- which is enough to welcome you into the staff, however there is a long 1-2week waiting period (some crap War Clown thought up, but I think if you reach a ridiculous amount of Yays the vote would end straightaway) before this vote is over, so more votes are encouraged to either secure this position or deny it (see below). If someone votes Nay during this period, it would take another vote (being the 4th) towards Yay to secure your position again, and etc.. Good luck. --THIEF 00:31, January 5, 2011 (UTC) That "crap" is there for a reason, Thief. And I said a week, not 2 weeks. I'll change it now, if that's what's written. --Jacques le BlancReception Area 07:06, January 8, 2011 (UTC) Hahaha! Don't take me so seriously, War. :P --THIEF 07:39, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

AssassinRome- Result: Yay

Good job, mate. --THIEF 22:11, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have to explain this decision, you all know he's worthy. But I will anyway, so far he has shown his friendliness to other users and the community, with his kindness and starts many interesting discussions among certain aspects of the AC Universe, his edits are great and are of good quality. Rome is super-active, editing articles many times a day and always watching over the place, he's always there to lend a helping hand with new articles. All in all, he's worthy for the job. ;) --THIEF 12:55, January 23, 2011 (UTC) Yay Yay. He is as Thief said very active and does excellent edits, he has also helped to create a lot of major events articles and I feel he has done more than enough to get into the Istruttori. Campbell430 13:04, January 23, 2011 (UTC) What Thief said. You've done a great job Rome. Hope you don't disappoint once you get in the staff :D --Jacques le BlancReception Area 13:06, January 23, 2011 (UTC) Yay. I don't really know him personally, but his edits are great, he clearly knows what he's doing here. And when I first joined this awesome site, I thought he was already part of the Istruttori, he obviously deserves this. -- ’R BlaiddDdraig 13:15, January 23, 2011 (UTC) Even though he still has some things to learn, both wiki-related and grammatical, he is very active and makes great edits. Yay for me. -- Master Sima Yi 17:55, January 23, 2011 (UTC) I've known Rome for a while, he was one of the first people I got the fun of becoming friends with. It's as Thief and the others said, Rome is a very active editor and although he is still learning he does try his best and isn't afraid to ask for help or permission when needed. Rome is, I've found, also very much a community person. He's always being nice and helping to others. Rayne Message 23:30, January 23, 2011 (UTC) I admit, I feel Rome could use a little work on rewording, but nevertheless he's a fine editor, with multiple, good quality edits. More than worthy to be part of the staff. =GuardDog 02:37, January 24, 2011 (UTC) I have to agree with R BlaiddDdraig. I don't know him personally, but Rome has great editorial skills and I think he would be a good member of the team.--Lord of the Creed 12:51, January 26, 2011 (UTC) Well, it's been 4 days and we have a ridiculous amount of Yays.. time to close this up and see if he makes it in or not... even though we all know the answer... Nay Comments Thanks for all the positive comments, guys ; ) AssassinRome 21:54, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

User:DanMan7308 - Result: Yay

Welcome to the Brotherhood, Dan. -- Rayne ^Message 03:41, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Vote closed Click [show] to view the votes and comments.

Hey guys, after much thinking and consideration I’ve finally decided to nominate myself. I have been in this wiki for about eight months and have done over 1,000 edits. Through time I’ve learned the ropes of the wiki and really started to become connected with the community. I’m sure that it has been noticed that I am very patient and kind to the users of this wiki and put the progression and success of our work before personal pride. Though I still have a few things to learn I will be more motivated to learn them and to be more active. DanMan7308 16:12, February 8, 2011 (UTC) DanMan7308 Yay He's done a lot of work and is a good member. The post above may have been a bit more humble though. XD -- Master Sima Yi 16:19, February 8, 2011 (UTC) After a LOT of careful consideration (been mulling over it for about a week before this was put up), as well as much thought over the conversation below, I too have to vote Yay for Dan being sworn in as an Istruttore. Let's hope you make it in, Brother. And nothing personal either, Jasca, but I've had my eye on Dan for a while and I have to agree, he does still have some learning - BUT - he's come a long way and deserves this. -- Rayne Message 20:04, February 9, 2011 (UTC) Even when I first became active on this wiki, Dan was there to help me stay on track, and I feel that Dan has helped many other editors like me, and I feel he does deserve this position, he isn't without flaws and could be more active, so after much thought, I vote Yay. Campbell430 20:28, February 9, 2011 (UTC) I too was looking into starting up a nom for Dan.. maybe Jasca is right about what he said, but Dan still shows that he can: "use the rollback ability frequently", "stop arguements (sometimes)", "help other users frequently", "teach other users how to edit frequently", "warn other users nicely before the grumpy staff wake up frequently", "handle WikiProject:Memories as Chief Editor" and best of all "put up with other user's crap and annoying questions that arose from not reading our articles.. frequently :D". Maybe he does have a lower edit count than others, but that still doesn't mean he is clueless. --THIEF 21:10, February 9, 2011 (UTC) Although I haven't been in contact with Dan that much, I have made myself actively aware of his contributions to this wiki. And just because he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb from other good editors, doesn't mean he should be overlooked. His dedication and consistency over time has, in my eyes, proven his worth as an Istruttori. Look, none of us are perfect, but each of us offer different skills and abilites as members of staff. I'm an image man and like dealing with the community, others are great at different things, be it grammar, article revamps etc. It is this variety of personalities and abilities that help us function as a successful team. Dan is a patient, considerate, selfless user, who always puts the wiki before his own pride or recognition. Consistent, reliable, a hard worker and a nice guy, so I vote Yay! --Sick-steeN 00:33, February 10, 2011 (UTC) YOU FINALLY NOMINATED YOURSELF! :D A definite yay for me. Dan's been here for a while now, and has been quite the helper. He's helped me handle a part (the stupid and ignorant part) of this wiki's community, and has also helped us in pushing the wiki forward. He's good to the community, both normal and the staff, and has helped cease flame wars. Patient, respectful, and selfless, just like what 16 said. Although I still think he needs an image *cough*avatar pic*cough*, he's good to go. (Final Note: That avatar thing was just a suggestion. Take it into consideration, It will help people remember you, trust me. :D) --Jacques le BlancReception Area 09:16, February 10, 2011 (UTC) Nay I'm afraid I'm going to have to vote no on this Dan. It's nothing personal, but I just don't see it yet. Honestly, there are other users on the wiki who I see as more deserving of the position, and whilst I am certain you will one day join our ranks, I don't see it being today. On a side note, you only have 829 edits as of right now. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 16:21, February 8, 2011 (UTC) Users like who? And what do you mean only 829 edits? He has made several significant edits to the wiki, though maybe a bit unnoticed to the big group of members. -- Master Sima Yi 16:23, February 8, 2011 (UTC) Does it matter who? I when I say only 829, I am merely pointing out that his figure of over 1,000 edits was incorrect. Granted, he may well have made several significant edits that may hae gone unnoticed, but that's part of the issue, I didn't notice… --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 18:49, February 8, 2011 (UTC) That's true, but.. still. He does deserve this position in my eyes. DanMan, maybe you would like to convince us a bit more, list a bunch of things you did perhaps? Then we can decide if your work is as we say. After you do that, I guess I'll vote ;). (I originally wrote a bunch of crap here, check the history. I thought I'd let DanMan speak for himself though) --THIEF 21:00, February 8, 2011 (UTC) Thanks for giving me a shot Thief :), well I created more then 20 articles for the Memory project and added a bunch of info about brotherhood before the game came out, such as creating the Borgia Tower page and adding small important facts like how in brotherhood the chests contains valuable objects now. I also reported numerous vandals before this wiki expanded community wise, Cello even said at one point that I would be the leader of a group of editors that would be like vandal hunters, though it never became implemented. Like stated above I've been on this wiki for eight months which is a fair amount of time IMO, though i know it's not how long you worked here its how hard you work here. Also if i'm ever having a small conflict with anouther user i swollow my pride and tell the other user my apoligizes, admittly I still have some things to learn but I feel through time I will learn them quickly. Again thanks Thief for letting me speak my case :) DanMan7308 15:44, February 9, 2011 (UTC) Comments Just giving this nomination a few more days before closing, since it has been tainted with a Nay vote.. there might be other Nays in future or a rebuttal from the Ducato. :) --THIEF 23:40, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

"After a week or so of consideration, I've decided to nominate myself. Although I haven't being here for long, I believe I've made quite a mark here. My major work consists of rewording/phrasing pages, some I my most successful ones include: Bugs, Shaun Hastings, Lucy Stillman, and Rebecca Crane, though for a full list, see my user page. As well as this, I'm very social, being a regular on the IRC, and can be found there quite often. It's even being noted by a few other members that I'm very formal, and quite kind and polite when speaking to other people. So that's about it, as I said, for my full list of work, check my page." -- Blaidd Yay It's been a while coming, but myself and some of the other Istruttori as well as two other admins have discussed this in full and we agreed to it. So I vote Yay, not only because of the agreement but because I've seen firsthand most of Blaidd's work and feel that he's earned his place. Blaidd, I hope you make it in, man. Buona Fortuna, il mio amico. -- Rayne Message 05:22, February 20, 2011 (UTC) As one who also commonly rewords articles, I unfortunately feel that Blaidd's work in that aspect is lacking. I took a careful look at the edits made to the articles in his revamped list, and found a few changes that were unnecessary, and occasionally even incorrect. However, there was nevertheless an improvement to the article quality, though I just hope he continues to improve. As for the social aspect, on the other hand, he is without a doubt a commendable addition to the community. I suppose even that alone is enough for a yay from me. =GuardDog 07:51, February 20, 2011 (UTC) With out a shadow of a doubt it's a Yay from me. 'R was one of the first users I spoke with on the wiki, helped me out quite a lot too. I feel the majority of his edits are considered and valuable, he is a fantastic writer and a nice guy to talk with, very approachable for wiki members old and new. His ambition and dedication here, I feel, proves his worth as an Istruttori ten fold. --Sick-steeN 11:44, February 20, 2011 (UTC) Ditto. What they all said, plus I want to see what badge you had in mind. XD --Juan BlancoReception Area 13:23, February 20, 2011 (UTC) Yay. Though I haven't noticed you actually add information to the Shaun, Lucy, ect. pages they are of better quality after your revamped them. Regardless, you proved to be a worthy editor, and though perhaps not the best reworder here you have some skill in most areas here, and very social and considerate, though formal. Good luck. AssassinRome 17:22, February 20, 2011 (UTC) I agree with the rest. Unlike the others; I'd like to expand on the socialness of this user. The socialness of Blaid is great, he is community-striven and is always on the IRC whenever our users are bored or in need of help. For that achievement, he recently (a few weeks ago) earned himself the title of IRC Moderator for his activeness and friendly-ness towards other users during IRC sessions. It was just a matter of time before he nom'd himself, good job and keep up the good work! XD --THIEF 04:02, February 21, 2011 (UTC) I May Not have 50 Edit's, But I am an IRC Admin and I've seen Blaidd at his best, It's a Yay from me if it counts, Your active, Responsable and mature. Good Luck Blaid. -- Avanti Talk to Me 06:48, February 23, 2011 (UTC) Nay Comments Okay, the waiting time. Just need to wait atleast a few days, just incase someone votes Nay. Good luck! --THIEF 21:38, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
