 * 8) Weak Support- He's a good guy, can support Halopedia nicely, and he is qualified for the job. The only reason this isn't a strong support is Halopedia has enough admins so far and if Manticore makes it then Ryan won't be needed as admin.--[[Image:GRAW.png|20px]] MCPO Spartan  1138  05:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Neutral (3/2 sysops)
Sorry but you cant vote, if you joined halopedia before august you could have.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan    BAM  21:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) I'm not really sure if Ryan has what it takes. <font color="Black">REVENGE Grr!!! My Victims [[Image:Disembodied soul modern.jpg|30px]]
 * 2) Neutral This user's history is not quite as clear-cut as others before him, which can be seen by the current divisions in his RfA. His longevity with Halopedia is significant, and though he has been consistantly active over the past year, a significant number of his contributions have been based around user talk and userpages. Though his Main editcount is substantial compared to most other users, he has taken the ambition of extensive Halopedia article projects only a few times throughout his editing on Halopedia. However, I believe strongly that the overall beliefs of the community are of greatest importance in an issue like this and I can see that a majority of the community stands in support of the user despite the issues that others have raised. I do not know this user very well personally and we communicate very rarely, so I can not stand in judgement of this user's character or potential to serve as a "community leader," which would also contribute a great deal to my decision. Therefore, it is my opinion that I have seen few things to distinguish this user in my eyes, be it in a positive or negative way, and so I will remain neutral. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  21:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I, personally, am all for HTML and other coding not being a requirement. However, I'm torn on where to vote. I know Ryan's a great guy, has a great experiences with the community, and is intelligent (I have soap to my mouth right now), but he has shown a bit of arrogance since I joined Halopedia. Please don't take this personally Ryan, if you don't make admin I would like for you to try again in a couple of months when you're better, then I think I would vote for you.-- <tt>Canis Lupus</tt> [[Image:Wolf paw.jpg|30px]] - The Pack - - Kill - -  Join the Pack  - 11:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) Don't know him well enough, and too new to this site to justly vote either way. -Lord Hyren 21:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Against (7/3 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)
 * I did get you to add the Random Image Link on the Navigation bar, and helped you with the new skin. My spelling and grammer has been getting better but if its late at night it might not be at its best...-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  02:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Against - To be honest, I too don't think there's much Ryan could do as an admin. Manticore is more suited for the position. I could actually see Manticore doing stuff around Halopedia. Plus, Manticore probably has more experiance than ryan. I'm also not a big fan of campaigning.   What  <font color="Red">did  <font color="Black">HaloDude  <font color="Red">Do!?!  01:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Against - He appears to think that making around 60 userboxes is a great technical contribution. Also, he has slightly more edits on user talk pages than mainspace. He argued against RelentlessRecusant's RfA that they've been around roughly the same time, but RR is nearing 16,000 edits while Ryan is nearing only 5,000. Ryan, don't take this personally. Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is M  o  u  s  e, squeaking out! 20:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have 4 less main edits then UserTalk edits and i also have more technical skills then userboxes, also i do not think all the userboxes is my great technical contribution, that would be helping GPT fix up the new skin.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  02:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * "4 less main edits than UserTalk edits" is "slightly more edits on user talk pages than mainspace.".... ....
 * As for your skin, you really should add it to your answers for the questions, the average person does not have this information available to them. --forgottenlord 04:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Against - Honestly, Ryan does not have what it takes to be an admin. He does not have the experience or the personality required for such a big job. There is very little he could help out with, as Relentless and GPT have the "active" part covered, and he doesn't know enough about wiki coding (from what I have seen). Both GPT and Relentless made significant contributions to Halopedia before being appointed admins. This is not a popularity contest. It is an appointment to the biggest responsibility on any wiki, and votes should be made seriously.  SPARTAN  -091  [[Image:Master_sergeant.jpg|25px]] HelmetComm undefined Juliet  03:16, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I can get by with the coding and i am an admin on another wikia.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  02:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Against - This was a difficult decision for me. Ryan is definately very present: he can oftentimes be seen on the IRC, which is a big plus towards administratorship. However, one of the weighing problems is the lack of technical expertise: GPT has shown remarkable prowess with Javascript, CSS, HTML, and Python languages, and I myself keep some stuff handy. I'd appreciate it if Ryan could perhaps begin to work more with the HTML/Wiki syntax templates besides userboxes, and eventually graduate from there to more of the difficult languages, which I personally garnered from variegated experiences over various Wikias. Furthermore, I believe with some other users that administratorship isn't just knowing how to delete/block/protect, or even technical responsibilities to try to enhance the MediaWiki interface, but also community moderation: in Halopedia, administratorship is just more than delete/block/protect, it requires community work. I'd personally like to see Ryan in the role of a major community participant and be able to evaluate him - he's always been a great part of the community, but more Halopedia-related community work would be appreciated, not just Halopedian-related community work. I'm very sorry, Ryan...it's rather paining for me to write this, as I perfectly understand your position, as I was there two months ago, and it was ED, Dragonclaws, and Esemono delivering the lecture and myself abjectly scrolling over the words and making hard introspections. However, I'd be glad to speak to you regarding however I can help you in the future. =] Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">MESSAGE 05:40, 18 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)
 * 3) Against I personally have a fair amount of respect for you, but as an admin, I'm not sure you'd do well. As the others have stated, you're rather active, but don't seem to possess any tech skills. Besides all that though, you've had some rather big issues with other Halopedia users in the past. I'm not sure you wouldn't use your new found sysop abilities to make problems for your old nemesis. Sorry. -- Donut THX 1138 [ Comm ] 01:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Against - I feel that effective communication is absolutely essential to the role of an administrator, and in my personal dealings with Ryan I have seen that this is not one of his strong suits. I am also rather disturbed and appalled by his blatant campaigning for positions with a high social status in our community. In addition, after holding rollback for so long, his misunderstanding of exactly how it works is quite peculiar. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 12:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My dealings with you have always been at night(in my time) and when im tired i do not type as well as i normally do, although i make errors on the IRC a lot it is because i am always doing many other things. And the rollback rights, i made a mistake once. Now for my campaigning, I was doing that before the voting started for the UoH, long before it started and i did stop. Any campaigning after i became General either is a lie or a misunderstanding.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  02:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You still don't get it, do you? You acted so desperate for the position of General that you pushed forward in your campaigning and set up various things several weeks before the election began.  This IS scary for anyone who has put considerable time into thinking about political and campaign theory.  The fact that you seem to continue to brush it aside as unimportant says you fail to understand why people don't like it and why several Halopedians have become concerned about it.  In fact, it is the very fact that you were campaigning so early and so hard for General is specifically what Manticore addressed - you pushed for a social status position.
 * Also, you've had "huh?" moments during the day, on MSN and on talk pages, no it's not just because it's IRC. --forgottenlord 04:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, i do get it. I made a mistake and I'm sorry for it but, people have made bigger mistakes. I never thought of it as being a social status position i just wanted to make the UoH better. I know that doesn't justify it though. And i wasn't just talking about the IRC. I know i made mistakes on talk pages, all of manticore's "personal dealings" with me have been on his talk page, but FL you had no way of knowing that. And when i was on msn with you FL, i was doing stuff if you remember back when we were talking about...Someone i told you i was doing stuff. I will be taking a typing class in high school this year too.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  05:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Which goes back to my opinion of "Not yet". --forgottenlord 05:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, thats fine you are a load to think that. Im just going to put this out there for everyone else. The power coul dalways be taken away from me.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan  [[Image:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif]]  BAM  05:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The issue is not whether or not you could have your sysop rights revoked, it is about whether or not you should be granted them in the first place. Also, forgottenlord can just as easily browse your contributions as any other user, so stating he had no way of knowing about any of your interactions with other users is nonsensical. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 06:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * 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.

 * 4) Spartan781, you're a good guy and all, don't get me wrong, but uh... admins do unexpected things ALL the time. You can't have every single Halopedian user's(controlled by RR and his so-called powah and unlimited cookies) permission just to do something.

 * 5) 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)
 * 6) I think he was talking about my conduct, but that's beside the point. Relentless is right, let's keep this about ryan.
 * 7) 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.  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 20:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 11) A community where an Administrator's only extra powers, responsibilities and authority are deleting, blocking and back-room editing? Doesn't exist, and it sure as heck doesn't exist in Halopedia.  Administrators are community leaders.  They are supposed to set the guidelines for how the community behaves, and lead with those guidelines.  They are supposed to be the leaders when it comes to showing how to treat new members, ushering in new projects, and considering ideas presented by the userbase.  Yes, Ryan is capable of doing several of those things on the list - as are you and many other major members.  However, Ryan has serious deficiencies in many of those areas.
 * 12) Try again, Phil.E. --forgottenlord 20:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 13) EDIT: You can be an Administrator without doing those things, but you'd be a very lousy administrator if you only look at it as a job where you can play with the pretty buttons. At the very least, know that Ryan understands this too. --forgottenlord 20:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 14) What I meant was that those are the only extra things an admin can do, that a regular user can not. Of course an admin should be good with the community, but if there are other things that the user does better than that, and does those things well, then that user is just as good a candidate as any.  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 21:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 15) I disagree. I believe a viable administrator candidate has to be someone that I think could be a good community leader.  I believe that Ryan has had conduct issues that prevent me from putting such faith in him yet.  I believe that very little of it has to do with how you can deal with your explicit powers, for implicit powers are always much greater than explicit, and it is very rare that a major community member is incapable of exercising one's explicit powers effectively so that component, more often, is about "can I trust this person not to vandalize".
 * 16) If you must know, I have been an administrator on a few communities prior to coming to Halopedia - none of them wikis. I have dealt with things like banning users, blocking IPs, removing posts and changing skins.  They were minimal responsibilities for me compared to what I was as an administrator.  I understand the position well. --forgottenlord 21:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
