Nomination
I, Phil.e., nominate CommanderTony for adminship of Halopedia. Nominee, please accept or defer the above nomination below this line.

I, CommanderTony, gladly accept this nomination for administratorship.

Support (12/2 sysop)

 * 1) Strong Support as nominator.  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 01:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Weak Support - Somewhat premature, in my opinion, as we just passed an administrator a week or less ago, and I'd prefer to wait until post-Halo 3 launch before having another administrator on-hand to help govern the influx of new users for H3 and HW. However, in the past, CommanderTony has shown exceptional knowledge of UNSC information and article-creation, and is a very lively community member. =] Good luck! Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 01:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) *Personally, I would think we'd want the infrastructure to support the spurt, not the spurt to support the new infrastructure.... --forgottenlord 01:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Strong Support I saw his RFA was open, and decided to sign in. :D Tony all the way! School may be taking a big chunk of his life, but he's a reliable person. -- Caboose  [[Image:Caboose.jpg|35 px]] Orange Juice  and  Cookies  02:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 6) He can be very helpful to Halopedia--ChurchReborn 03:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Support he is a very good user.- Thegoodone [[Image:SSgt Avery Johnson, UNSC Marine Corps.JPG|20px]]  "Messages go here"  What I've Done 03:32, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) Very Weak Support- Most of his goals can be done without admin powers, we have a desent ammount of admins as it is, and I'm not entirely sure how well he can do, but then agin I've never worked with him much. Still he has my vore--[[Image:GRAW.png|20px]] MCPO Spartan  1138  04:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) somewhat weak support I think he is good in making new articles. I think he is helpful too. although I admit that I never really work with him that much. --Sp art an- 781  [[Image:Seaman.png|25px]] CommCSV 10:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't want to vote against him cause he is nice but I don't think hes ready for adminship. sorry CT, but I don't think your quite ready. <font color="Black">Spartan-010:Stryker My Comm My Battles [[Image:LTBar.png|15px]] 22:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) Like GPT I am close to a weak support but not quite so I am staying neutral.--<font color="#000000">Master Sergeant G-23 <font color="#FF0000">Comm Channel <font color=#000000>Mission History[[Image:Master sergeant.jpg|20px]]<font color="#000000">B Company  21:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Against (2/0 sysop)

 * Nah, Commander Tony may have been norminate, but I don't think he deserves it. maybe next time. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 09:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *Would you care to elaborate --forgottenlord 18:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Meh, I dont even know this guy, hes not an edit whore or constantly on the IRC like RR or the other admins.--User:JohnSpartan117 02:01, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) *I myself find him on the IRC a lot. However, I've never seen you there. What do you go by?-- <tt>Canis Lupus</tt> [[Image:Wolf paw.jpg|20px]] - The Pack - - Kill --  Join the Pack  - 01:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) *He's on nearly daily on IRC and I fail to see why that should be a factor in holding him back. As for edit whore, I fail to see why that should necessarily be a strike against him --forgottenlord 18:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments
I don't think CT can manage Halopedia as good as Manticore and the other admins. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 14:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

No offense dude, but Halopedia is fallinga apart.... just go on the IRC with me sometime....-- <tt>Canis Lupus</tt>  - The Pack - - Kill - -  Join the Pack  - 20:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Everything CT's said can be done by any admins on Halopedia, ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 10:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Really? Then, why, my friend, isn't it done?-- <tt>Canis Lupus</tt>  - The Pack - - Kill - -  Join the Pack  - 03:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe some admins are working on it! ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 05:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Really? Have they told you there working at it? Because I've asked them what they do with their adminship. Not one of the things Tony plans to do if elected came up. -- <tt>Canis Lupus</tt>  - The Pack - - Kill - -  Join the Pack  - 01:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect, I must say that Having articles cleanup, anti-vandalism and developing and editing articles are part of why we're here. We're here to discuss, share our knowledge, he just says he would have articles cleanup or improved (if that's what he means), it wouldn't be a good idea to have him as admin after all. And if I remember correctly, it sounds as though he wouldn't be checking Halopedia daily if he isn't promoted to admin. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 10:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well I have been on here everyday since the RfA started, and for longer than I thought. So what I said about not being on frequently and on almost everyday is gone now. [[Image:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30px]] Colonel  Tony  Talk 9/14/2007

"Because I've asked them what they do with their adminship. Not one of the things Tony plans to do if elected came up."
 * Jolly W. Roberts

- Rawr

Well how should I know what they do. And if I am elected, i'll gladly do as i'm told and needed to do by the "Senior" admins. Colonel  Tony  Talk 9/14/2007

That's doesn't means I hated you, CT, I just think you might want to improve Halopedia by other means, like setting up policies. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 13:18, 15 September 2007 (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? August 7th, 2006
 * 2) What do you believe are your most valued contributions to Halopedia? Probably any and all edits for UNSC-related articles. I'm also currently ranked seventh in the list of editors by mainspace edits
 * 3) What do you believe are your most valued technical contributions to Halopedia?I've made several edits to templates being used on articles, really just adding and edited up-to-date info. As well as created numerous awards and userboxes for the community.
 * 4) What do you believe are your most valued contributions to the community? Helping out and starting the UoH's Dingo Company, as well as beginning to organize a Halo 3 Release Get together for Halopedia.
 * 5) What is your expertise with programming languages, if any? I've got some minor experiences with HTML, though coming this fall, i'll have much more knowledge in HTML and other programming languages.
 * 6) Do you administrate any other Wikia? If so, which? I am currently administrating Vektapedia, a wikia related to Killzone. Though my efforts are hindered by my PlayStation 2 being broke down.
 * 7) If you are administrated, what changes do you propose? I will propose a few things. Such as a major cleanup project aiming to make the "Articles needing Cleanup" template go to waste. As well as a project aiming to delete all un-used pictures, userboxes, templates, and files.
 * 8) To the best of your understanding, what does administratorship entail? I think that an administrator's job should be of an example for other Halopedians to follow.
 * 9) To the best of your understanding, when will you be able to check Halopedia after you are administrated, in the event that you are? Almost everyday. Though school, football, and JROTC might sometimes interfere. But after October, i'm Halopedia Property once again.
 * 10) What communities are you associated with online, Halo and otherwise? Well of course Halopedia, as well as Bungie.net, Halo Babies, MilitaryPhotos.net, and Charlie Oscar Delta.
 * 11) What is your familiarity with the Halo universe? I've read and played everything Halo related besides the I Love Bees saga. Though I still try my best to edit those articles.
 * 12) What is your familiarity with Wikia and Halopedia policies? I am pretty well familiar with both rule sets.
 * 13) What is your relationship with the Halopedia community and current administration? For our community, I log onto our IRC Chatroom almost daily, as well as try to play in some online games with members. As for our administration, I enjoy talking to them, and would absolutely enjoy talking to them more if my RfA is accepted.
 * 14) How may users contact you? If you look on my User Page, there is a wide amount of ways they can contact me, such as MySpace and Gmail. And if you have neither, i'll gladly read and reply any messages you leave on my User Talk Page.

Comments
Tony, you said if you became an admin you wanted to "make the "Articles needing Cleanup" template go to waste". Would you please explain exactly what you mean by this, and what other system you would have in its place. Thanks :) -- Manticore   Talk 06:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well what I mean is maybe have a contest to try to empty the "Category:Articles needing cleanup" page. I'm not saying we have to make it go to waste, because it probably never will. But i'm talking about having a major cleanup effort. Possibly this fall after hundreds of user post new articles and edits that aren't up to Halopedia's standards. Still confused?[[Image:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30px]] Colonel  Tony  Talk 9/14/2007


 * Ah I see. I was under the impression you wanted to delete the template. Just local terminology getting in the way :) -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 16:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
