This is the page for requesting adminship for Kirby Wiki.
Rules
- 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?

I've been working around quite the bit, and some admin functions would be a nice addition. Some say I'd be a good admin. I'm on actively, I monitor edits to make sure they're not vandalism and whether or not they fit/improve the page. Last vandalism I've seen though was quite the time ago with the Cutter article. Probably won't happen much now, but it's worth it for future references. Don't know how school will effect my activity, as I only started really being active here in May this year. I'll be online as often as I can. I can create articles, fix grammar errors, and add details to some concepts that aren't. I talk about problems on here if needed to others. I feel pretty capable of taking on administrator responsibilities.--Iqskirby

Support
Oppose
- You're almost there, but not quite. Though you are extremely thorough and faithful to the wiki, I feel a few more months of experience would greatly benefit your judgment and help you for when you do become an administrator. Additionally, you have alluded in the past to having revenge tendencies; I'd be a bad admin if I didn't see a possible danger in that when mixed with authoritative power. NerdyBoutKirby

Neutral
- Neutral leaning towards support - Iqskirby has shown excellent work ethic and seems to be on top of required content, per his workshop. I think he'd make fine use of these tools, but I also think this request was made a bit hastily. I strongly suggest taking it more slowly and requesting rollback first, then waiting a while until the bureaucratship here is fully convinced you deserve sysop status. Additionally, the wiki currently has several active administrators that efficiently exercise janitorial roles, and giving out adminship prematurely is unprofessional on the part of the Wiki as a whole; in your future request (assuming said administrators remain active), try to describe what you would do differently with your administrative abilities if you were to be bestowed them (much of what you listed is something regular users are already full well capable of).

- Though I believe that Iqskirby will make a good admin one day, I agree with BNK that this request was made too early. A few more months of good work and experience will pay off in the long run. Doos Rock! -Therater2 (talk) 12:55, September 1, 2014 (UTC)
