SupportEdit

1. User:BobafettH23/Sig.

OpposeEdit

1. 3212 edits for 1411 pages since May 28, with only 2368 edits for actual content pages. Plus, 11 years old is too young for an admin. Kuralyov 19:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
2. Gotta agree with Kuralyov, you're kinda young. Green Tentacle ^(Talk) 19:58, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
3. 11 years? Sorry, no way. - Sikon 20:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
4. Oppose, based on age. I'm not technically sure under COPPA we're allowed to have him as a *user*, let alone an admin. jSarek 22:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
5. A good user, but definitely not admin material. Sorry. --Azizlight 00:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
6. Definately a positive factor on the website, but I'm afraid I'd like to see someone a bit older. This is not meant to be age based discrimination, but I believe admins should have at least some control over their own lives. 11-year-olds are still subject subject to the wishes of many intervening authorities, including parents and school. There's no guarantee a parent would even approve of someone that age doing something like this and might and pull the plug. Don't give up though. There are few guarantees in life, but one inevitible fact is that you will get older. BigGuy219 03:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
7. Age, please for the love of the Force. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
8. Per Azizlight. —Silly Dan _(talk) 23:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
9. Oppose, per jSarek. I don't think it's even legal for us to have him as a member (no offense to him personally). (edit: Also, he has been seen supporting copyright violation in the Senate Hall. That's definitely not the kind of activity one wants to see from an admin.) – Aidje _talk 01:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Neutral/commentsEdit

• I won't vote for myself because I wanted to know if you think i'm ready, not me. Roron Corobb 02:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Editcount data can be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Editcount/editcount.js?username=Roron+Corobb
• And might I add to both of the candidates that it would be a good idea for you to answer the questions above. Atarumaster88 ^{(Audience Chamber)} 02:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• I'm abstaining. Nothing against you. You have a reasonable edit count, I just haven't had many dealings with you. Good luck. —Xwing328^(Talk) 18:10, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Here they are,

Q1

• Because I feel I could use my powers wisely and be of a lot more help to other users.

Q2

• To provide help to other users when needed and to help Wookieepedia in general with many different tasks.

Q3

• In my view, both, because they are often looked up to by other users, and they have the technical abilities, such as blocking users and soforth.

Q4

• They should use it fairly but and treat regular users the way they want to be treated, (the Golden Rule).

Q5 I have never argued over and edit or participated in an edit war or user conflict, I try to prevent them when possible and try to keep myself from becoming aggressive. In the future I plan to use it the same way if I become an admin.

• Forgive me but that is all that I will get to answering today. Humans need sleep too. I do plan on answering the rest tomorrow. Roron Corobb 02:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Q6

IG-88A is probably my largest article made, and I think it can be featured if i just clean it up a little bit. I also think that Duel on Bespin could be made somewhat better.

• Q7

Looking for vandals, welcoming users, deleting nonsense pages, and images is what I'd usually be doing.

• Q8

Important, everyones vote counts, and i'm not just saying this, I have seen some CTs where the vote could have failed if just one or two more users voted for that side.

• Q9

If the admin just makes a couple mistakes he shouldn't have the whole community jeering at him, but yes if an admin is running around blocking people for no reason and deleting pages at random the of course.

• Q10

I welcome all users who come to Wookieepedia, and but when I see an IP, most vandalism in my opinion is done by IPs so I always check their contributions first and then I leave the Join Wookieepedia Darth Vader head thingy.

• Q11

I would tell them about their mistake on their talk page and simply undelete it. Under most circumstances I would probably ask them if they ment to on their talk page first, just to be sure.

• Q12

My user page has been vandalized once before but I don't get angry at all if all the guy does is type LINLINLINLIN a hundred times, (thats what he did to me). But if he is make extremely rude insults i just try to ignore them and just revert and report it.

• Q13

If they just vandalize, troll, make rude comments and pretty much what they all get banned for plain and simple.

• Q14

If there would be no vandalism isn't an option I would choose that it would be more well known. This is because my guess is we have about 55 active users who are on almost every day but there are a ton of Star Wars fans who would be overjoyed to see and become a member of this site.

• Q15

I'm not Yoda so I can't solve every little riddle in an eyeblink but I would look at it half-full.

• Roron, as you answer the last few questions, I have two more specifically for you. You don't have to answer them if you don't want. Atarumaster88 ^{(Audience Chamber)} 16:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

A1 How, if at all, do you feel your young age (11 standard years) would affect your dealings with other users and your decision making ability? IMHO, most of our admins seem to be at least high school age, but more than likely beyond that.

• • Reply:Size Matters Not. :) Roron Corobb 18:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

A2 There is a note on your talk page saying that from now until May you will not be contributing as much due to school. How would this affect your role as an administrator here, and how do you plan to still accept a heavier responsibility as an admin with this conflict?

• Im still on just as much as I was in the summer on the weekends but I'm saying I won't be having 70 edits a day every single weekday. Im not gonna completely disappear, but I will try as much as I can to still get on. Roron Corobb 18:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Since when does someone's age limit their chance at becoming an administrator? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• I agree, Size matters not. Roron Corobb 01:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • There adding more prerequisites. Ageism! Ageism!--Lord Oblivion^{Sith holocron} 01:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• As we have a burueacrat veto, couldn't this be declared failed now? Havac 03:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
