Warriors Wiki:RfA/Nomination-.Shelly.

Introduction

 * Your Strengths:


 * I've been a senior warrior twice in PCA and a warrior in PC, but I've since cut off affiliations with any projects in order to allow myself to focus on the wiki as a whole. I've helped out where I could with every project, making the occational charart for PCA, participating in discussions with PC, writing chapter articles for PB, helping to write articles for PR and PW. I think I've found a good balance without being a member of any project.
 * During my time in PCA I worked tirelessly to shift the power more evenly so that those in lower ranks in the project would have more say in what went on.
 * I've been here a while and know how things work.
 * I'm not afraid to do things that need to be done and know when I should and when I should not start discussions about things first.
 * I'm adept enough at wiki code that I've been able to make templates and I was able to help integrate the toggle feature into the website.
 * If I see a problem, I point it out 100% of the time. For instance, I've found a lot of loopholes in the policies of this wiki and I've been trying to fix them.
 * I follow this wiki's policies strictly and I try to make sure that those around me do the same.
 * I'm friendly, but when I need to do so I put my foot down.
 * I'm on the wiki almost every day doing what I can to help out and contribute. Even on my busiest days I make some time for the wiki.
 * I'm not afraid to do or say something controversial if it means I can either better the wiki or make it a better place to be. I'm not intimidated when people lash out against me to try to get me to stop doing something they don't like personally. If the community as a whole doesn't want me to do something, however, I respect their wishes.
 * I will speak out against my own friends if I think they're in the wrong. I don't go into arguments with a biased attitude towards or against any person. For that, I've lost friends, but I don't regret it.
 * I actively try to do things that raise moral or provide a bit of fun for the members of this wiki, such as the charart contests I've hosted.
 * Your Weaknesses:


 * I can be argumentative, but nowadays I only argue when I feel I absolutely need to (i.e, when I'm trying to argue a point about an idea I have or I feel I'm being ostracized)
 * I tend to stretch myself thin, but I'm working on finding a balance.
 * I'm in college and I have a job on the weekends. However, as I said above, I still try to make time daily to work on the wiki. But around midterms and finals I may be less than available.
 * I can get caught up in things when I'm having fun. For instance, the vandalism game the admins, rollbackers, and chatmods were having with each others user pages and kicking certain members out of the chatroom for fun. But in the end I know where to draw the line.
 * I'm a bit protective of the wiki.

Speech
I'm posting this new nomination for myself as my old nomination was made before I even changed my username and is very outdated.

Fact of the matter is, this wiki need a new admin, if not two new admins, and I think I could do a good job of it. And I know some people think that I cannot do it based on the fact that the person also running for admin is someone I have quarreled with in the past.

But please know that she and I have more often than not gotten along and that, in any case, I hope to judged as an individual.

I already work consistently with the admins of this website and have done nothing but serve this website to the best of my abilities. I work through the good and the bad and never give up. I'm always working on something or another in attempts to make this the best wiki there is (currently it's my essay policy proposal).

I've been here long enough that I can tell what kind of mood the wiki is in. I know when things are getting tense, so when that happens I try to start things that ease the tension, like a friendly contest or a game in the chatroom.

But in the end, that's not what's important. When it comes to how I would behave as an admin, all I can say is that I'd do my best to uphold the rules and the dignity of this encyclopedia. I challenge people that I believe are treating others unfairly, even if those I'm challenging are my friends. For that people believe that I'm simply argumentative, but really I only do it for the sake of the wiki as a whole. I put aside my own personal desires and my own feelings when I need to, which is something all admins should do.

I think I'd do well as an admin here, and I hope you do too. If not, I'll continue to serve to the best of my abilities. 20:07, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

My second will be Starry.
