Left 4 Dead Wiki:Requests for adminship

 Requests for adminship (RFA) is the process by which the community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional technical features that aid in maintenance. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please be familiar with the administrators' reading list and how-to guide before submitting your request.

Please support a User by leaving a signature and a reason why you support, and the same for not supporting. Non-constructive posts will be removed.

IPs are not allowed to edit this section.

Requesting to be a janitor or something seeing as I clean up alot of pages and add things that many people don't know about. LinkusStrifen 19:34, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Requesting adminship on grounds that I will work hard on improving the wiki, like I have so far today :) takua108 22:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd love to be an admin/moderator of some sort for this wiki. We've got a long way to go in terms of content, especially when the game is released on the 18th, so I'll be ready to update and upload. I've been contributing little things here and there, and recently created/uploaded a new favicon to replace the default "w". Ashsflames 18:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Asking again, since I haven't gotten any response, even a declining one. I'm learning how to use these wikis fast, and my full-room walkthroughs might start picking up again, if people like it.  If they don't, we can just link to some other level playthroughs if we really want walkthroughs on every page.  Ashsflames 18:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Having walkthroughs on a Wiki might sound stupid and useless but not if done correctly. If you want to create fully detailed walkthroughs covering potential items and quickest routes, someone will read it and be thankful. --Myogaman 18:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I might be moving on to other interests soon so in light of this, I rescind my request. Ashsflames 04:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I am requesting to be a Sysop. I have had vast Wiki experience and I have been Sysop on a few Wikis before. I also have had experience being a Mod on Forums and such, so I know a thing or two about being strict yet fair. I check this Wiki often and will make very well sure to fix articles I find incorrect or not up to standards, and will change the poll and video when I feel necessary. I very well know that a Wiki community is not great because the Wiki is, a Wiki is great because the Wiki community is.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  03:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders, and you seem to be fairly active--more so than our two admins so far, anyway. However, I haven't really seen most of your edits thus far, have I? Out of curiosity, I'll take a look through your contributions sometime. Also, do you mind if I ask what other wikis you have sysop on?

You probably have my vote, though. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 03:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I used to be Admin on SporeWiki, but I was demoted to rollback due to inactivity. And having a creepy picture on my User page. Actually, I should put "Sysop on a Wiki", because the second Wiki is CD-i Wiki; oh help me.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  03:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Squadelah, I hope she made lotsa spaghetti? - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 03:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't remind me.


 * Also, I've made some pages more than just edits, as this is a new Wiki. Intro Scene, Finale, and Reload is an example.


 * PS


 *  is my favorite prank to do on a Wiki.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  03:28, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol. Just trying to forget about it?


 * I know you have made a few articles, I've seen them. The Intro Scene is good, the others are pretty recent, are they not?


 * Oh, that's cruel. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 03:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, some are recent. Like...yesterday. But I fixed some grammatical errors, and added "Quotes" to the survivors, among other miscellaneous shtuff.  CAFINATOR    Indeed  03:42, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So I've noticed. I generally keep a close eye on the recent changes page. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 03:47, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

i feel that we are the three people that do the main contributions to this wiki and at least one of us should be made an admin as its starting to get stupid as we have pages that need deletion and alot more things that need fixing that only an admin as we can only do so much without an admin backing us up Spygon 13:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I intend to apply, myself, sooner or later. Four admins, two or three of which being active, doesn't seem too bad for one hundred articles...  However, I'm not going to apply at this very moment.  Sometime between the end of January and May, perhaps. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 14:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) I give my support; Cafinator has done an excellent job with keeping the front page updated, constantly adding interesting media to it.  He also does well in editing articles, having added some, himself.  He seems to have a good (albeit somewhat silly) head on his shoulders, and he's also fairly active—definitely something we need.  Not to mention, he's been a sysop in the past, so perhaps he knows the ropes, or at least has an idea of how to properly use his powers. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 00:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

My Edit Count

I think it's about time I did this. I, Stigma-231, am requesting sysop status on the Left 4 Dead Wiki. I have been editing this wiki since December 21st, 2008, and in that time, I have accumulated approximately 400 edits, the vast majority of which in the main name space. However, I've been a contributor to wikis since February of last year, making this nearly a year of editing. Surely, I'd know my way around the wikia interface by now? I've never been an administrator of another wiki, but I have had rollback rights on Halopedia, as shown here. I've also read the articles on the Help Wikia on administration. I believe I can piece things together from those pages, as well as closely observing the actions of administrators on other wikis.

In my time here, I have—as clearly stated before—made many contributions to the wiki, ranging from basic grammar and formatting in articles, to adding massive parts (like the walkthroughs) to and creating a few articles, to personalizing our templates (such as Welcome and WelcomeIP), to reverting unwanted edits to pages throughout a few different name spaces. To do all this, logically, I am quite active. However, active as I may be, I'm fairly limited as I am. I can't act proactively and stop an obvious vandal. I can only deal with the aftermath of their work, which can be rather difficult at times when they continue to attack a single page. I can't delete any spam articles, only mark them for deletion and hope the current admins (whom aren't always there, though I'm sure it's not their fault) will handle it when they can. If I were an admin, however, I feel I could work more efficiently than I do now, and function to even better serve this wiki. Naturally, I will continue to put in as much effort as needed to help.

I'm not exactly sure if I've covered everything as of yet, but for the moment, it is all I can think of. If anyone has any further questions or comments or anything of that sort, please don't hesitate to leave them on my talk page! I will address you as soon as I possibly can. I sincerely thank you for reading, and I earnestly hope that my request will be taken into consideration by the community. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 23:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Five Dog
Under normal circumstances, I would remain a regular user. I will accept that outcome, if that is the case. However, I do believe that I should do this. I, Five Dog, hereby request to be granted the illusive sysop status.

It is no lie to say that I am not exactly a "seasoned editing veteran", as my only other work is on The Vault where I am a regular user. From there, I have learned the basics from the many sysops and the lone bureaucrat. I was taught how to edit pages efficiently, create decent-looking template layouts and write entirely new articles from scratch. I would like to think that I have learned how to do things right. I have recently spread across a few different wikis now and like everyone, I am learning useful things as I go. I am willing and able to edit frequently and tidily. My work here on the Left 4 Dead Wiki consists of many things. To begin, I am active on this wiki nearly every day and I have often spent my free time correcting spelling mistakes and adding sensible content. I am not one to edit something I am not entirely sure of without consent: i.e. I will ask on the talk page before taking action.

My contributions include:
 * Project: Walkthrough - creating suitable and trustworthy walkthroughs for pages requiring them. Cleaning up existing walkthroughs. (Boathouse Finale remains)
 * Created the Survival Template for use under the "Survival" headings in the aforementioned walkthroughs.
 * Wrote the Developer Commentary out and placed it in the wiki.
 * Actively searching for and removing any unsightly strikethroughs in the articles.
 * Grammar corrections.
 * Spelling corrections.
 * Vandalism removal.
 * Research into unknown facts for placement on the wiki. Example: The Assault Rifle burst glitch. I wrote the description here and I checked with multiple PC users whether it worked for them or not.

Possible future contributions include:
 * Cooperation with TheCreaturenator16 to create mapped walkthroughs.
 * Updating and protecting future Left 4 Dead 2 articles.
 * Creating templates where required.

Useful Reference Pages:
 * My Talk Page
 * My Contributions
 * My Edit Count
 * My "To-do" list

In truth, the collection of work I have gathered is definitely short of remarkable, but I do believe it shows commitment to the wiki. In total, I have agglomerated around 700 edits to this wiki. I am prepared to help keep the wiki clean and controlled when Left 4 Dead 2 arrives.

If you have any reason to support me, I appreciate it. Alternatively, if you have any reason to go against me being a sysop, it is equally good as I'd love to hear why, so I can work towards improving myself for the future.

Thank you for reading my request.

Warmest regards,

 * 1) I fully support you to become an administrator of this wiki, for the past 2 weeks or so I've seen you writing amazing walkthroughs and tried to read most of them, and they're interesting and useful, but that doesn't matter as a common editor should know how to make such things, you're more unique than the common editor such as myself because of your strong lanaguage, you know when to plan and when to do so. You care more about the stuff that hasn't been fully "wikied" than the new releases, and that's a good thing obviously. Good luck Five Dog, you deserve that position for your hard work. Zikkun 11:52, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I believe that Five Dog is an invaluable part of this wiki. He does everything from minor edits to vandalism removal to large projects like the walkthroughs. He keeps his work balanced between new pages, writing information about new content, and keeping an eye on the old pages. He often resolves conflicts, he is very knowledgeable, and he gets along well with other users. He deserves more power because of all these things. Good luck, Five Dog. TheCreaturenator16 22:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I fully support Five Dog,he has made this wiki amazing with small minor edits and larger more detailed edits.He has extreme Left 4 Dead knowledge and gets along with everyone.He deserves adminship and I support him all the way. Good luck Five Dog--Six Dog.11TY 17:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
