Halopedia:Requests for adminship/Ryanngreenday: Difference between revisions

#'''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)

#<s>'''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.  '''[[User:HaloDude|<font color="black">What</font>]]''' [[User talk:HaloDude|<font color="Red">'''did'''</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/HaloDude|<font color="Black">'''HaloDude'''</font>]] [[w:c:halofanon:User:Halodude|<font color="Red">'''Do!?!'''</font>]] 01:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)</s>

#'''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]].

#'''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.

#'''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)

#'''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. -- [[User:Donut THX 1138|Donut THX 1138]] ^{<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:Donut THX 1138 |Comm]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>} 01:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

#'''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. -- [[User:Manticore|<font color=black>'''Manticore'''</font>]] [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] ^{[[User talk:Manticore|<font color=black>Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Manticore|<font color=black>Contributions</font>]]} 12:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
