Halopedia:Requests for adminship/Ryanngreenday: Difference between revisions

#'''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. --<b>[[User:ED/Gaming|<font color="black">DEMON</font>]][[User talk:ED|<font color="black">SPAWN</font>]][[User:ED|<font color="blue">ED</font>]]</b> 21:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''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. --<span style="font-weight: bold;" title="GPT does not work for Wikia">NOTASTAFF</span> <b>[[User:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">GPT</font>]]_{([[User talk:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])}^{([[Special:Contributions/Guesty-Persony-Thingy|<font color="000000">eating</font>]])}</b> 02:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''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 Halopedia''n''-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, [[user:RelentlessRecusant|<span style="color: #6262FF; font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; font-size: 12pt;">'''RelentlessRecusant'''</span>]] 'o the [[w:c:halo:Halopedia:Administrators|Halopedia Team]] http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg <small>^{[[user talk:RelentlessRecusant|<font color="#A9A9A9">TALK</font>]]} • _{[http://{{SERVERNAME}}/index.php?title=User_talk:RelentlessRecusant&action=edit&section=new  <font color="A9A9A9">MESSAGE</font>]}</small> 05:40, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''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 --[[User:Forgottenlord|forgottenlord]] 02:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
