I understand, and I'll widraw to my insignificance, noble leader.

VOTE SIMON '08 (you already did)</s>

{{support}} This man is a leader to all of us and to the ones who work in the ancients of halopedia for he is a leader there as well, he deserves it. [[User:GruntMaster772|GruntMaster772]] 2:57, July 28, 2008

{{Support}} - I think we could always use another admin, it lowers the amount of vandalism that occurs here and he seems like he would help the wiki a lot [[User:Lethal Chief 117|Lethal Chief 117]]

All of those have been Admins at some point of time. notice many are inactive and some have had their adminship taken away? One thing a growing Wikia doesn't need, is inactive Admins. I'm not saying Simon rjh '''WILL''' be that kind of admin, my question is more of... Can we be certain that Simon '''WONT''' end up that way.

{{Oppose}} As intelligent, skilled, and competent Simon is I don't think we need another admin, we should keep the old number, and if needed, relieve some of the more inactive ones. Vandalism is down thanks to users with rollback and the efforts of Tony's banhammer. Adding another admin seems poised only to brew more discontent with the admins, after the Manticore controversies. Regards, [[User:FightWithHonor|FightWithHonor]]

::Simon is absolutely correct. I cannot be the only one fighting vandals and punishing them on a daily basis, which thankfully, I have not. Though since a few of our more veteran and experienced Administrators have taken a much needed break, i've found myself wanting even more help and assistance. HaloDude and Specops306 were both recommended by me (and submitted), and I resurfaced the idea of giving Simon AND Blemo chances at an RfA. Right now, I and the few active remaining Admins left on Halopedia are in dire need of more help, and more Rollback-equipped Halopedians will not help the situation dramatically. And in addition to the growing concern of mass vandalism attacks and point whoring, Halopedia is getting more and more popular by the day, causing the need for more monitoring across the Wikia. Quite frankly, the four regularly active Admins aren't equipped to handle a Wikia with close to 5,000 articles and thousands of users. Simon, and a long list of Admin candidates i've been thinking will be assisting and thrown into the fray right after they are given their rights. And don't be worried, all of these users are of the utmost quality, and are very well known, appreciated, and experienced Halopedians to date.

:::: "The largest source of Wikia.com traffic is its hosting of Wookieepedia, the Star Wars fan information wiki, accounting for 17% of Wikia traffic as of May 2007."  

Your ever faithful sword, [[User:FightWithHonor|FightWithHonor]]

::::Other Halo projects will not bring on a massive flood of new users, these games are aimed purely at Halo fans, a good number of which are already here. Besides, Wookiepedia is far more easily divisible into large eras and categories, some of which are as large as this site, allowing various admins to focus on certain areas of the site. While we do have something similar to this, we are small enough where an admin can span most of the information one here. In fact, anybody can do this, not so on Wookiepedia, hence the need for admins.

{{Oppose}} Urrgh, time to dust off the old H-pedia account... Sorry, dude, but the site is totally loaded with admins.  While I agree we need them, we already have something like 6 active or semi-active.  No more are necessary.  Again, nothing at all personal.  Regards, [[User:Spartan-091|<b><span style="color: olivedrab">SPARTAN</span></b>]] File:H3_GunnerySergeant.gif|25px]] ^{[[User talk:Spartan-091|<b><span style="color: black">HelmetComm</span></b>]]}^{<nowiki>||</nowiki>}^{[[User:Spartan-091/askAI|<b><span style="color: #6666ff">Juliet</span></b>]]} 19:19, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
