Warriors Wiki talk:Chatroom/RfCM/Successful Archive 2

Nomination for Fernflight

 * Date: 11th June, 2014


 * I applied on the 13th of July last year, with no endorsement. In ten days, I'll have been on this wiki for three years, so I know the rules very well. My edit count is relatively low, but I am working to get those numbers up, at least in the mainspace. I am a warrior in PCA, PC, PB, and PW, however, most of my edits go towards PCA, though I have gotten a page up to silver in PC. In terms of the chat, I am in there whenever I can be, which is going to be pretty close to all day come summer. In situations when staff is not available in chat, I distribute warnings to those who need them, and help those who need help. Users have come to me for help in the past, and I've normally been able to help them. I have gotten compliments from users saying that I am friendly and helpful, and I'd like to utilize those attributes to keep the chat free of users here in bad faith, and to help ensure that the chat is kept safe for young eyes. I hope I am considered for the position of chat moderator, as I believe I am fit for the job. 22:02, 06/11/2014

Vote
Ferk has been here for quite a while, and although she has her faults, I believe the wiki could utilize her skills, patience, and raw ability. I don't remember ever to really have to warn her for any chatroom violations, and she is one of very few who isn't afraid to edit the mainspace, and is even trying to edit more frequently. Yeah, she's active in PCA, but that's still helping the wiki (and there is no mainspace edit requirement to become a chat mod, I must point out), and her progress has astounded me. After the fallout with all the previous inactive staff members, I believe we need to look at what users are really active in the chatroom, and Ferk is one of them. I will proudly endorse Ferk, and I encourage all existing staff members to vote using the templates: voteyay, votenay, or dontvote. Good luck, my dear. =)
 * I don't think Ferk has established her maturity or presence on the wiki yet to become a chatmod. She has made 36% in the mainspace and that's great but if you look most are very minor edits and some are very sparsely separated, in May she only made 4 mainspace and a few were extremely minor. Also, no offence, but I don't see Ferk speaking her own mind about stuff, from what I've seen she follows other people a lot and I'd like to see her opinion. Besides that yes PCA is a part of a wikia nd yes it's great if you're active, but I'd like to see some contributions to other projects over 100 of her past Warriors Wiki talk contributions have been to PCA, and PCA should not be a staff member's main focus imo. I'm not bashing PCA but I'd like to see other projects appearing in your contributions, Ferk. I'm not saying that you'll never be a chatmod but I don't think that you should be one now. Sorry. 22:39, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * If I may, Duck. While I'm not disagreeing or trying to dispute your vote, I'd like to point out that there are no mainspace requirements for becoming a chat moderator. Those percentages are only for rollback and administrators. We have had various staff members before Ferk whose main focus have been PCA.
 * I know that, I think that mainspace edits are very important and possibly more important than anything else on the wiki besides general attitude of the person. Also, I haven't been on to vote for other users whose focus has been PCA. :c 22:48, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm torn on this one. On one hand, Ferk was one of the few around during that big 5-month hiatus. On the other hand, he hasn't contributed much, as Duck said, besides PCA, which even then has been sparce. In my opinion, Ferk would be a good chatmod, but give him some time and I'll see i know you can do it one day o3o 23:20, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * just as a general note: I'm a he not a she. ^^;;;; 23:27, 06/13/2014
 * [clears throat] I am not voting yay because Ferk is one of my good friends; I believe that he can take on these rights and has the maturity to use them correctly. Ferk is a devoted member to the wiki, and, as mentioned above, he did stick around during the Big Hiatus. I see Ferk enforcing rules around the wiki and in the chat when they need to be, and I think these rights will give him the potential to achieve even more as a member of this fine wiki. ( did i word that right oh god  ). Good luck, Ferk. ^^  13:22 Sat Jun 14


 * I forgot to mention this above, but I do mostly PCA because it's what I'm good at and what I'm comfortable with. I don't feel comfortable with 'rewriting' the books, even though we clearly have the authors' permission, since at least one of them uses the wiki. On another note, I'd like to point this out. It says that Project and Project Talk namespace edits are contributive, meaning they are directly contributive to the wiki. In other words, the edits in those namespaces are beneficial to the content on this wiki the second they are published.  00:30, 06/16/2014


 * Nobody ever said PCA isn't contributive, and it's great if you find somewhere that you're comfortable and good in but I don't think a staff member should focus itself on PCA the focus of this wiki should be mainspace and content projects over everything else and I think staff members should reflect that, but I haven't seen you making many contributions in the past, you've made a lot recently but you haven't in the past and I'd like to see you make a lot of good contributions constantly before voting yay. Besides that when voting on a staff member I look at what kind of edits they make and where they make those edit before anything else then I go from that by seeing if I think they should be a staff member and honestly, to me, making 1,000 edits in PCA is only like making 500 edits in other projects, once again that is my opinion but like any staff member I have an opinion as to whether people should or should not be staff members so don't worry, one day I believe you will be a chatmod and probably more, but I just don't think you're ready yet. 00:42, June 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Due to conflicting opinions and votes this nomination is at a stalemate. Therefore it shall be extended for one more week and shall end on June 27. We encourage all staff members to vote. 00:23, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I actually think ferk would be a good chatmod. he's trying his best to edit articles, which is kinda hard for all of us I will admit, and if he tries even harder but goes along with what he's doing to the projects now, I have no doubt he'll prevail. 22:28, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * actually due to the comments above and the fact that PCA is contributive, i'm switching my vote 22:32, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
