Warriors Wiki talk:Userboxes

Project Status Change + Lead/Organizer Discussion
Okay, hi guys. So, since the vote passed with a landslide, we changed the project to "maintenance mode". To my knowledge, this basically means fixing up and cleaning the existing coding. Now, for this, we'll need a group of people who're willing to help, and already know a bit about coding. So, since I'm not sure about the voting process, I've opted to start a discussion here. I talked to 'teldy about it, and she said a small group of people could be "leads" in a sense. So... this is where everyone else comes in.

Ideas, guys?

I think we ought to have a vote from a pool of volunteers for people to be put in charge of maintaining the userboxes. I cannot really think of another way to do it. 01:18, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

As do I. However, there should be some form of discussion. I figured the talk page for the project would be the best place to do it, since it does revolve around the project. Once those users step forward, then we can move onto the official voting, I would think.

What does everything think a good number of "leads" would be? Would we have quite a few, like say 8 or 9, or have just a handful, like maybe 4 or 5? 01:53, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'd say five is a good number to start up with. More can always be voted on if we need them. And I do like the idea of people volunteering and being voted on. Would definitely support that. 02:00, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the floor is open to nominations for project coordinators. Nominees should have a second and proof that they can handle wiki code. 02:45, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking that we could have something along the lines of the PR lead vote. We had users listed, whom were nomiated by other users, and those who voted did so under their respective sections. We didn't have seconds, and it was tallied as a normal vote would, with each user's vote counting once and only once. I don't think seconds are needed, as a user isn't obtaining extra rights. We should vote how we did for the last project, not something entirely different.

Requiring seconds would be a tad overboard in my opinion, but just a note in response to cloudy, this isn't quite the same thing we've done in other projects cloudy, so the same thing won't necessarily work just cause of that. However I do think that a normal nomination and vote will be plenty enough, though I'm open to other options. 03:33, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well, let's at least get some nominations up. Have a period of time for nominating and then open it up to voting. And then the leader will need to get a work list sorted out. 18:49, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

How about a two week period for all nominations and then the following week or two we'll open a voting period for users to vote on each nomination with voteyay, votenay, or dontvote, 'kay? 02:26, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

In full agreement here. 23:51, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I agree. But just one question. Who will be able to vote on the nominations? Anyone or those chosen? 00:00, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

I believe everyone would be able to vote, provided they meet the qualifications for voting...which are around here somewhere. lol. Anyways, I'm in full support as well for this.

I, also, agree with everything here. owo 00:03, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Eh, I'm going to reduce the strictness of qualifications since it's just a project and members can come and go as they choose; I think that'd be enough to suffice voting requirements. If they're contributing to a project, they're contributing to the wiki and have to have edits, and a month doesn't seclude many users. 00:11, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Must be a member of the wiki for at least a month
 * Must have contributed/be contributing to at least one (1) project

Well since no one's said something within a week's time, let's open nominations shall we? You can still speak up if you disagree with any aspect of this. =) 02:22, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Nominations
Requirements:
 * Must be a member of the wiki for at least a month
 * Must have contributed/be contributing to at least one (1) project
 * User must accept nomination

Process to File a Nomination:
 * If a user is found who meets all the requirements, a nomination can be filed that should look as follows:

USERNAME

 * Insert speech here

Acceptance

 * Insert nominated user's decision of wanting to be accepted or not

Vote

 * Insert, , or here preferably with a reason


 * The user nominating another user should explain why said user should be admitted into the project with evidence to support their case.
 * Please note that nominations from another user for another user is just as much accepted as self nominations where a user will vouch for themselves. In a self nomination, the user can skip the acceptance section.


 * Once a speech has been made, the nominated user must accept the nomination for the nomination to proceed. Should the nomination be a self nomination, the user should skip this step.
 * If the nominated user accepts the nomination, the nomination will go to a vote lasting one (1) week. Voting is open to all users on the wiki who meet the requirements. Those requirements are as followed:
 * Must be a member of the wiki for at least a month
 * Must have contributed/be contributing to at least one (1) project
 * User must be logged in and use the voting templates of voteyay, votenay, or dontvote
 * If a user would like to comment or inquire about something, they should use comment or question.
 * Please note that this process is just like a nomination for those obtaining the rights of a chat moderator. The users listed below are not competing against each other, but being voted into the project as "leads".

Paleclaw

 * Paleh meets all the requirements to be apart of this small project, but while meeting the requirements is one accomplishment, Paleh has most definitely exceeded the given expectations and the unexpected predictions. As demonstrated by most of her subpages and her work with the templates through her edits, it is demonstrated that Paleh has much experience in creating and editing templates with the technical aspect. Not only is Paleh well versed in coding, she also has the diplomatic skills to bring this project to among its highest potentials. 02:22, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Acceptance

 * I accept this nomination. I'd love to help out getting the project rolling, and I'll definitely have fun with the coding. 02:33, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Vote

 * Paleh is a quick learner, and although she makes typos quite often, that has nothing to do with her ability to learn and pick up coding faster than most users ever have. She has my full support and backing, 200%.
 * Paleh is, like 'Teldy said, both great and coding and good at working with others. She would be a great addition to the project and getting it moving. 06:41, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Paleh's amazing at coding, and works great with a team - She would be great in the project. 06:45 Sun Feb 24
 * Paleh would do great, she's amazing at coding and has leadership skills. She would be an amazing aide to this project. 15:12, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Cloudskye

 * Long exceeding the pre-nomination requirements, Skye is quite adept in the design and appearance of how coding turns out. If you've ever gone to her userpage, she's as elaborate as ever when expressing herself through coding. To add a little to Skye's résumé, she's also already added in ownership templates like Hollyleaf's Story and The Last Hope thus demonstrating that she has the motive to fix and make userboxes and the capabilities and resources to do so. 02:22, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Acceptance

 * Of course, I accept this. I'd be honored to help with this project, and take care of it. I've been interested in this project for quite a few years now, and I'm glad to be considered to finally get the ball rolling with PU. For the past year or so, I've been wanting to restart this project, and I'm delighted to finally see it being used again.

Vote

 * I don't think anyone could deny that Cloudy will be a huge asset to the project as a lead. She's been one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated to bringing back this project, and has been one of the few who have kept up some of the maintenance needed while the project was closed. I support completely. 06:29, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cloudy is great with coding and she has already fixed and made userboxes. Her as a lead would only benefit this project. 06:44, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes and yes. Skye would make a brilliant addition to this project, and there's no doubt about it at all. 06:46 Sun Feb 24
 * She will help this project thrive throughout it's maintenance mode, and anything else already has been said.

Rainlegs

 * I'm sure this will seem quite biased coming from me of all people, but I quite honestly think Leggy would be a good choice to be one of the leads and to help get the project rolling. She's shown good leadership in both her SW spot in PCA and her deputy spot in PB. Despite her bout of inactivity that originally caused her demotion from being leader of PB, she's quite active these days, usually on at least once a day. She's quite good at designing templates and layouts and such, as seen on some of the other wikis she's on. Though she's not especially well known for coding knowledge, I do fully believe she knows enough to benefit this project, and her other skills will certainly benefit us too. 04:47, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Acceptance
Oooh, thanks, Paleh, and I accept. I'm no pro at coding, but I know enough for userboxes and the like. 05:34, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Vote

 * While Leggy may not stick out as a master coder, she can most definitely handle her own with userboxes and help steering the project in the direction it needs to do. I see her on chat everyday and I have no worry about inactivity possessing Leggy currently. She's very cordial and open to new ideas and suggestions but will also diplomatically argue her case if she disagrees. With her ability to handle userboxes and move the project in a direction beneficial to the wiki, I have no doubt she'll earn her keep in the project. 06:19, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Seconding 'teldy on this one. Leggo's a wonderful editor, and could only help this project go forward in leaps and bounds.
 * Agreeing with above. Leggy would be a great asset to this project. 06:46, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nothing more to add, but Leggy would be a glorious member of this project. 06:47 Sun Feb 24
 * I have nothing else to say that hasn't been already said, Leggy would do wonderful things for this project. 15:12, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Atelda

 * I'm not sure I even need a speech here, I would think the reasons Teldy would be suited for the job are quite obvious. However I will write some sort of speech up, though I know it'll never match up to how great everyone knows she'd be for this position.


 * Being an admin, as well as leader of three content projects, I don't think anybody could ever question Teldy's leadership skills. And for such a small and new (in a sense...) project, I think she'd be even more exceptional. She's done a fantastic job as one of only two admins, and the only one being steadily active, as well as keeping two quite small projects alive and running. She certainly has good coding knowledge. She's made quite a few template, as well as done maintenance and cleanup on others. Some of them being quite complicated templates at times. She's very opinionated and has very good suggestions, something that'll be very needed in a reopening project. All in all I think she'll be a fantastic lead. 04:47, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Acceptance
Thank you, Paleh, for the nomination, I accept. 05:17, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Vote

 * Of course. I see no reason as to why 'Teldy shouldn't be included in this. She's done more than her fair share of work with coding, templates, and projects to be more than qualified for this.
 * Yes, of course, there's no way you can object that Teldy is great at coding, and would be a great addition to this project. 06:48 Sun Feb 24
 * Like Cloudy said, she's more than qualified. She knows and is amazing at coding, and she has great leadership skills. She would be a fantastic lead for the project. 06:49, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that if 'teldy wasn't nominated there would be a problem. She is amazing at coding and has wonderful leadership skills. 15:12, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Berry

 * Berry's a wonderful user. She's active, and always willing to help out. I often see her playing with coding, and she even has a sandbox where she tries out other ideas for the wiki, which actually look quite cool and could be very useful. Yes, she's a little jumpy at times, but she knows enough about coding to be able to become quite an asset to the project. I know I'll probably get tackled for the nomination, but, Berry is a wonderful user, and her help could only benefit the project. She a lead in PCA, and that's something that she's worked very hard for. She's also one hell of a chat mod, and I know this would be another task she could handle with dedication. I stink at writing these things, sorry dear.

Acceptance

 * skye ilusomuch I'd love to work in this project, so I accept this nomination. ouo  05:03 Sun Feb 24

Vote

 * I'm sorry, but I don't think Berry would be the best choice for this Project. She's good at coding and all, but I haven't ever seen that her leadership skills go beyond bossing others around. Maybe some day, but I don't think that day is today. 13:41, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with Breezy. Sorry, Berry. 15:12, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
