Questions

Here are some general adminship questions. They are 100% optional, so feel free to answer all, some, or none of them. :)

  1. Why do you want to become an administrator?
  2. In your opinion, what is the role of an administrator?
  3. In your view, do administrators hold a technical or political position?
  4. How do you feel admins should use their power/stand in comparison with other users?
  5. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
  6. Of your articles or contributions to Wookieepedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
  7. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?
  8. How important is it for you to be involved in things such as CT, IDrive, FA, and other community-centered items that involve discussion and voting?
  9. Do you think admins performing actions (I.e. deletions, blocks, etc.) for reasons not covered on policy should be sanctioned/punished? If so, how?
  10. What is your policy, if any, of welcoming new users? Should you welcome a new user, do you look at his/her contributions beforehand? What about anonymous IPs?
  11. How would you react if someone undeleted an article you'd mistakenly speedied? Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to undelete an article mistakenly speedied by another administrator, if any, and how would you approach this task?
  12. How would you react if your user page was vandalized? Under what circumstances would you block the offender? Is there anything else that you would do in this situation?
  13. Under what circumstances would you consider blocking an established user?
  14. If you could change any one thing about Wookieepedia, what would it be?
  15. Would you look at a glass to be half-empty or half-full?
  16. Do you feel the current blocking policy is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or OK as it is?
  17. Have you ever considered becoming a regular visitor to the Wookieepedia IRC chat?
  18. How do you feel about people who already have some influence on other Star Wars communities (TheForce.Net, StarWars.com) trying to change policies here?
  19. How many clones do you think fought in the Clone Wars? (Note: You are wrong no matter what answer you give.)
  20. Who is the most awesome Jedi of all time? (Note: The only correct answer is Kyle Katarn.)
  21. Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?
  22. What's more important to you: consensus or policy?
  23. Have you had any previous leadership experience (in your community, on the web, etc.)?

Nominations

Borsk Fey'lya (13 admins + 8 users/0 admins + 0 users/0 admins + 0 users)

Two week deadline from the date of first request, voting ends 0:00 UTC on 6 July 2008.

Support

  1. Now, aside from his namesake (*wink*), I would like to nominate Borsk Fey'lya for administrator rights. Borsk is always willing to help out users (and there are quite a lot) who ask him for help; he's demonstrated that he is great with interacting with users who approach him for any reason, whether it be for help, complaints, or requests; he never, from what I've been able to see, treats any other users with disrespect or anything resembling a negative attitude; he always attempts to find that middle ground in any dispute that he is involved in; and he always stands by his decisions and choices with a firm, but civil, demeanor. From what I've managed to see, taking things personal is not something Borsk practices, and his attitude in resolving disputes that other users may have with him is admirable. Likewise, Borsk is also a machine when it comes to content edits, and has contributed much to the community through various means. He's been around the site for a long time as a solid, quality, contributor and has demonstrated time and time again that he is committed to Wookieepedia and its continued improvement. I firmly believe that having Borsk Fey'lya (not the Bothan!) as an Administrator would only benefit the site and add to Wookieepedia's increasing stature through his continued efforts. Greyman(Talk) 22:56, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  2. An excellent candidate. Graestan(Talk) 22:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  3. --Charitwo 22:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  4. Well established user with good reputation. -- SFH 23:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  5. He'll put the tools to good use. -- Ozzel 23:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  6. Borsk is the consummate professional. I never hesitate to approach him with a question I may have. Extremely helpful and friendly. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  7. Per everyone above. Borsk is a model user. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 23:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  8. Has been a solid contributor for a long time. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  9. For some reason, I thought Borsk was already an admin. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 23:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  10. Lord Hydronium 23:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
  11. Never a time where I saw him confrontational, and he's been here for what seems like forever. We need more good contributors like Borsk. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  12. Great User, very helpfull, great edits, never seen him be rude, or get annoyed, even though I can be a nag somtimes! as Ackbar says, a model user RC-1136 Copy 10:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  13. Unit 8311 11:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  14. Great attitude and commitment --Eyrezer 11:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  15. Per all of the above. Now we just have to RFIRC him ;) Gonk (Gonk!) 12:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  16. I have to admit, I wouldn't have thought of nominating him myself just because he's so quiet. But that's exactly why he's perfect. How many admins do we have who never get into arguments about anything? -- Darth Culator (Talk) 13:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  17. Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 13:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  18. As long as he doesn't blow up our palace, betray our military, or otherwise threaten national security, I think Borsk will make an excellent administrator. In all seriousness, I was a strong proponent of the idea when it first came up—he really is a model user and the site will benefit from this action. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 13:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  19. —Silly Dan (talk) 23:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
  20. Per all of the above. He's about the same thing I am: making the site better.—Tommy (There are no Jedi here) 23:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
  21. He certainly is omnipresent.--Goodwood (Alliance Intelligence) 00:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
  22. I'd vote for the namesake too. :P Seriously though, Borsk's a diligent gent. Polite, helpful. Model user, as others have said. Thefourdotelipsis 12:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
  23. Per everyone above. -LtNOWIS 16:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments

  • Borsk has accepted the nomination via email. Greyman(Talk) 22:56, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Do the questions! Make up funny answers since you're destined to win anyhow! Graestan(Talk) 02:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
      • I should also mention that this guy has over 50,000 edits to this wiki. That's nearly one per article. Only Kuralyov is as close. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
        • Or rather Greyman has already given you this information. I was just slow to see it hiding in that little link. Machine, yes. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
