This is the page for requesting adminship for Kirby Wiki.
Rules & Regulations
- Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
- After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
- Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing and make this wiki a better place.
- When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should(n't) become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose. Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
- Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
- Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how (s)he would handle it.
- If a user has been blocked for any reason (except for an IP auto-block or wrong button click), (s)he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until (s)he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.
- For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?

As most of you are aware of, I requested for adminship a while back. I request yet again. Though we don't have any vandal attacks that require deletion, I left an article for deletion for a good 20 min or so. I honestly don't want to see an article sitting there for a few hours until another admin delete it. There are also things that you guys do not delete as fast as I would like, such as misguided users trying to make sandboxes in the mainspace area.--MegaTron1XD 19:04, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

If I become an admin I promise to try to make this wiki better than it is, treat others as I would like to be treated, and handle the tools well.--Deyna Taggerung Waddle Dee Lover 20:59, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ok how much edits do I need I have 66 mainspace edits, and also there has been a bunch of vandal attacks lately and we need more admins. Ok now I have 78 edits, thats 44.07% out of 100%.
- It's not all about mainspace edits. Of course, the more you have the better your chances are, but it's about how kindly you treat others, how respectful you are, etc. --Game Freak WOOOOSH!

- Speedy Oppose - Per WP:SNOW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Snowball_clause). I'm sure that you're a good faith editor, and that you'll make many contributions, but your request just won't cut it for now- you've made very few edits and over 1/3rd of them aren't edits to the mainspace. ~ Timson622222 -- APPROVED! Twice.
- Oppose - Agreeing with Timson completely. You gotta have more edits, and most of them should be useful to the mainspace.Zero Matter 04:59, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
