Neutral (0/0 sysop)

Against (2/1 sysop)

  1. Against I don't feel that Ryanngreenday could really do much as an administrator. He has never shown that he could really improve Halopedia with access to the "delete" or "block" buttons, he has never even suggested any improvements to the interface, let alone contributed possible ways of implementing them, and he doesn't come across as the kind of friendly, amiable person who could make someone feel good, having been welcomed to Halopedia by an administrator. I realize that I am not always friendly or amiable, but I have at least contributed to deletions and improving the interface. If Ryan is able to be more open to welcoming newbies, perhaps contribute to the new skin that is being made for Halopedia or something, and, and this is a must, improve his grammar and spelling, my vote my change. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 02:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
    1. Comment against GPT: At least he'll be better than you. You change the skin without consulting other users. You don't welcome much new users either.How do you know that Ryan will not use the "delete" and "block" button well? I see that you blocked some users which I feel were inappropriate. GPT, think about it.--Spartan-781 File:Invincible.JPG CommCSV 12:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
      1. That's not the point, Spartan781. This thread is to discuss Ryanngreenday, not GPT's conduct. Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team GDI2.jpg TALKMESSAGE 17:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
    2. Personally I think you're overreacting. He's just applying for adminship, it's not like he's asking for employment by Wikia. There are lots of admins on many wikis who don't know a line of CSS or HTML, and it shouldn't be a requirement. I also don't think Spartan781 was talking about GPT's conduct, just using it to counter GPT's statement. Phil.e. [Talk to me] 20:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  2. Against Ryan: you are a very friendly person, you are enjoyable to talk to, but your conduct carries the mark of inexperience. While there are some things (such as Generalship in UoH) where that might be fine for, it is much different in the Administrator's chair. I think you are intelligent enough that you could, one day, be an administrator, but I believe you need to learn more about conduct before you do so. Aside from the one incident that I've made clear to you, I know of at least two other major incidents where your conduct has been called into question. Yes, you learned from each of them and I think you honestly improved from them, but I don't believe you have learnt enough to be an Administrator at this time --forgottenlord 02:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
    1. No offense, but do you know what it's like to be in the "Administrator's chair"? I do, and let me describe it to you: it's no big deal. You act like it's becoming King of Halopedia, but being admin is nothing huge. The only extra things you can do are delete pages, block users, and edit MediaWiki pages. That's it. Not only that, but Ryanngreenday has been here for almost exactly 1 year, and has been here for longer than both RR and GPT, so I think that he has learned enough to be Administrator here, probably more than enough.
