Nomination

I, CommanderTony, nominate Forerunner for adminship at Halopedia.
Nominee, please accept or defer the above nomination below this line.

I humbly accept.-- Forerunner 14:41, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Reason for nomination

As of today April 9th, 2010, Halopedia has honorably discharged four users from their prestigious positions as Administrator on the basis of inactivity. On that same day, I hope to begin the process to add four more users into our ranks.

All four members that will be given candidacy not only have the backing of myself, but also the good majority of Administrators that still remain. These users are exceptional in many of the same ways that most Administrators earn their rights, but also stand out as distinct individuals all with their very own unique flavor on how things get done and need to get done. In the months ahead, Halopedia will begin it's efforts to strive forward to a quality that has, quite frankly, never been with us. Together with these candidates, i'm sure the Administration and all Halopedians will benefit in this glorious endeavor (epic/melodramatic speech FTL). To put it simply, these users are some of the best writers, counter-vandalism users, and community members...and their contributions in the future will expand Halopedia's popularity, truthiness, and influence on the Halo community as a whole.

That is why I am nominating Forerunner to become an Administrator of Halopedia.

Rawr,

  10. Support.svg Support - Although somewhat weak, a support nonetheless. I suppose I just didn't expect Forerunner to be nominated, mainly because recently he has not been the most active. However, taking past contributions into consideration, I come to the conclusion that Forerunner is admin worthy. - File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 18:34, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (1/0) Sysop

  1. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - I'm just not sure about this one. I'm leaning towards a weak support, but I just don't think Forerunner is exactly cut out for adminship, but I'm not in direct opposition either, so I'm going to stay neutral unless I have a good reason to say otherwise. - File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 13:36, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Halopedia Vote Symbol Neutral.svg Neutral - Im just not so sure about this. I have heard good things about Forerunnerbut I am not sure. Im not opposing this Forerunner so take no offense you seem like a great guy. I may go with a support on this one though. Its tough though. As just look at it. 4 Admins were just let go of there jobs.--Haloman101 02:16, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

If im right forerunner was blocked year ago and so has per the policity he cant be an admin. CF0UoH/A Company|0]]1 03:35, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

"No history of vandalism or abuse of Halopedia for the user in question, and no history of compromised accounts for the user in question...No history of blocking on the basis of harassment or personal attacks."
— Requests for adminship requirements
The blocks that Forerunner has received during his time on Halopedia in the two years have been short in nature and more often than not, been removed shortly after. Though he did receive an unfortunate block early on for a personal attack and suspected sockpuppetry, his actions since then have far balanced out his actions in the past, a past in which the Administration is willing to overlook on the matter. User:CommanderTony/Sig
If anyone wants to know any more about that, I enquired about this rule last year, but it was confirmed to me that since I hadn't been banned for any actions considered vandalism or spam. I admit that I do possess a second account; Chief2552, but that was only due to a problem on my home computer in which, after selecting a different wikia skin, I was unable to click on certain links including [Edit] and the "Skins" option of the Preferences. The most "offensive" any of my edits have gone close to, was removing a comment by Guesty-Persony-Thingy who was whining about that we should use the Christian calendar because he goes to church - to be honest, Tony removes loads of those anyway. Just clearing that up before any of you assume that I'm some giant troll with the power of internet hypnoticism; I'm sure that was how RelentlessRecuscant became Admin *pause for laughs*. Good bye *smile and wave*.-- Forerunner 13:43, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

About the first comment. If forerunner was actually banned it could of been an accident. You know that once happened to me here and many other sites.--Haloman101 03:02, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Questions

Nominee, if you accept the nomination, please answer the following questions. It is advised that voters check the nominee's responses before voting.

1. When did you join Halopedia?

September 14th, 2006 - I had made a number of edits to the (I think) Pelican article, but I required an account to upload images. I had been on Halo.wikia since June or July of that year, going from before to during and after the "Great Halopedia move".

2. What do you believe are your most valued contributions to Halopedia?

There have been quite a few of these, though the only one I can think of right now would be Thel 'Vadamee, just after me and User:ONI recon 111 read
