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.

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.

Remember, RFAs are not popularity contests. You are voting in a possible new administrator, and you must be sure that you can trust that person with a few extra buttons that could become rather troublesome if the user ever gets out of hand.

IPs are not allowed to edit this section.

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)

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)

Reason: Granted sysop by User:uberfuzzy.

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.
 * 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.

 * 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.

 * 5) Of all the frequent contributors I've seen on the Left 4 Dead Wiki, Five Dog here in particular tends to stand out. I'm not saying his edits are more valuable than anyone else's, of course, but they have certainly helped a lot. The fact of the matter is, not only is Five Dog a very active contributor, but his contributions are good role models for newer editors. He has the ambition to do things, and he does them; doesn't talk about them for long periods of time. Just does them. That's a great quality for an administrator to have. I give my full support, and in fact, were I bureaucrat (hint hint), I would have given him sysop rights some time ago. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 01:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Jo The Marten (Closed)
Voting for this user has stopped.

Reason: Granted sysop by User:Stigma-231.

I believe now is a good time to post one of these. I, Jo, merely request to become a sysop for this Wiki. I have experiences tinkering with other Wiki-like sites, making Wiki templates, and I have learned so much more since registering. Before becoming active here, I was relatively active on the Pokémon Wiki: Bulbapedia. There I would clear up mistakes, add to various trivia, and edits to the TV show section in general. Now I visit this site more than any other, and I constantly check the recent changes page for any sort of vandalism or error. I feel that after the release of Left 4 Dead 2, this Wiki will need more help in terms of administration, and I’d be happy, and willing to lend a hand any way that I can. However, if I am not granted the honor of being a sysop, I will still work my hardest as an active member to keep this Wiki in shape.

So far I have contributed by:


 * Uploading various images requested by administrators


 * Created the Locations page


 * Organizing and cleaning pages


 * Assisting with templates


 * Various research


 * Working with the current administrators on managing certain pages


 * Keeping the Wiki up-to-date with Left 4 Dead 2 information

I’m aware I am only one person, and there are many other worthy candidates for the position of sysop. The Wiki thrives on the efforts of the regular users, and the administration. It’s a team effort and I request to be someone who keeps things in order and keep it a safe and friendly environment for everyone. Thank you for your time.

 * 1) The question that most editors ask is "What does it take to be an admin?" An administrator is not just an editor with a few extra abilities, but rather a person who can be trusted with said abilities. An administrator is to be trustworthy, dependable, and above all, a good editor. Admins are active contributors, keeping vandals in line and adding new content. These are all traits of a good administrator. I am extremely pleased to be able to say honestly, that Jo The Marten easily has all of them. Not only is she a very active contributor, but her edits are always useful and constructive. I'm relieved while checking the recent edits, to see that they are made by Jo The Marten, and from there, I know that I am free to check the others, without needing to worry about that one. Her abilities extend even beyond text and templates, moving further into helpful images and visuals. Perhaps, though, her crowning achievement, is that she is a very nice person, someone no-one would be afraid to ask for help. In all, it comes down to this: I fully support you, Jo. Good luck. -- Five Dog   Talk Edits 02:19, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) When I came to this wiki, one of the first people I met was Jo, she welcomed me and helped me a little, then helped me find the IRC and such. Often times, you go ahead and find a wiki, but at the first unhelpful edit, you get basically yelled at, but Jo is the kind of person who while reverting the edit, will help you learn how to add wiki-markup and other similar things. So yeah, I completely support Jo. --Crowbar 16:14, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) When I first joined, I was a little timid. I had heard stories about dark admins and moderators that were shrouded with fear and armed with Ban-hammers. But I got to know five-dog and stigma, and they have grown into two of my best personal friends. when Jo stumbled onto the website, we tried to be as compassionate as we could, and I felt like I saw Jo do the same things I did. Jo is committed to the success of the wiki, making great edits and wonderful ideas that have drastically improved the site, such as the locations page and the new quotes pages. Jo has the motivation and skill to join the table with Five Dog and Stigma. --Legofan94 17:23, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I feel that Jo has added quite a bit to this wiki, and she does deserve adminship. She has added very helpful pages, and other things. I support her.--Supermutantslayer450 17:28, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

I, SMS, request to be a Sysop here, since, unfortunately, Stigma-231 has fallen into the realm of inactiveness. I am very dedicated to this wiki (I come and check/edit things every day), most of my overall edits are here, and I greatly enjoy the site. I have experience, I understand what needs to be done, and all that other good stuff. I love this wiki, and would like to be able to contribute further.

Some of my contributions:
 * I add quotes to Survivor's pages.
 * Adding trivia to any page that needs it.
 * I delete any vandalism, which seems to have increased a bit.
 * I correct spelling and grammar when I see it.
 * I check the Charger, Sniper Rifle, and Nick pages regularly, to make sure there isn't anything wrong with them.
 * I created the Good Ambush Spots section for the Hunter, Charger, and Smoker.
 * I answer any questions people have that havn't been answered, etc.
 * I feel that my spelling and grammar have greatly improved.
 * Check all recent changes every day.

I have spent a lot of time helping, I enjoy it, and I would really like to be able to further help.--With care and happiness, Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 23:58, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Im quite new to Wikia but not to adminship and here's what i think. Replacing an admin is a big deal to the current admins on the wiki because if stigma logs in...well leave that to your imagination. However all bad facts aside you,in my eyes, would be next in line for becoming a admin and if its cool with her i think you should be granted one

But due to the fact that its not confirmed its alright or not i remain neutral.

PS.its late when i wrote this so sorry for any spelling/grammer mistakes. CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!!! 04:05, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Mate, I hate to have to draw on the same reason each time, but the fact of the matter is, the same reason is still valid. Let me quote myself, here. "I apologize sincerely, Supermutantslayer450, I really do, but I cannot support you in this particular endeavour. You have helped here on this wiki, reverting vandalism, adding content and such, that's definite. One thing that may go against you is your spelling and punctuation, or sometimes your sentence structuring. However, those are the points that can be worked on and improved." Now, allow me to spare some "insight" if you will, on the situation. You frequently edit, and that's good. We need editors, it is true. Becoming an admin, however, does not increase your ability to edit. An administrator's job is not primarily to edit, but to watch and intervene when needed. They do edit, of course, but it is not why they are admins. It is because they can help resolve situations and keep vandals on a leash. It's not that you can't do that, it's that there are enough of us already to do so. Two actives is plenty. Therefore, if you were to become an admin, your primary job would simply be to edit. And it is the editor's job, not the admin's job, to edit. I hope I've helped to clarify the situation here for you, my friend. Warmest regards,  Five Dog   Talk Read 18:42, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Though you probably know my choice, I'll post it here anyway. It just seems the Wiki doesn't require your administration. As Five said, an admin's job is not to edit the Wiki alone, but to stand on the side lines and jump into the field when needed.

First off, you don't seem to know what a comma is, and we have absolutely no idea of what kind of editor you are, and having the "best intentions" is not enough to become an admin; you got to be responsible, not to mention an active and constructive user, so I'm certainly not supporting you.

DeathBlade182 (Closed)
Voting for this user has stopped.

Reason: Granted sysop by User:Five Dog.

Given the fact that Jo The Marten and FiveDog, are the only active administrators left, I, DeathBlade182, request to become a sysop for the Left 4 Dead Wiki.

Previous to joining this community, I had absolutely no experience with Wiki sites. However, ever since I joined, I've visited the site nearly every day, and I believe I have slowly improved my abilities at editing, always making sure everything is in order, because I don't want anyone to ruin the effort other have put into creating a page with the purpose of helping others.

I've never done anything I don't believe is for the good of the Wiki, ranging from undoing vandalism to adding images and rearranging entire pages. I'm a dedicated contributor, and I request to become an admin because I want to help as much as I can, and I promise that if I do become one, I will put all my effort into improving this site.

My contributions include:


 * Removing vandalism and false information
 * Correcting grammatical errors
 * Uploading images
 * Cleaning up and organising pages
 * Adding certain information
 * Creating redirect pages

I have given he reasons of why I believe I am fit for becoming an administrator, but the final decision is up to the community. Thank you for your attention.

Cheers. DeathBlade182 01:38, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it seems to be a bit unanimous that you're a bit "harsh" at times. While I haven't seen this yet for myself, you should take a look at yourself and make sure you're in line. Admins should be fair but just, and not scary because they're really hard on everyone. You seem to be getting some backing here, though, which is a good sign. Tell you what; if you get at least 5 people (good number amirite) to support you, and the admins see some improvement in your handling of talk pages, I'd be happy to add you to the admin roster. - §tigma-231 ♠  o <font color="darkolivegreen">ƒ  greed { τalk }{<font color="darkolivegreen">¢ont } 16:20, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) It's not easy to gain my trust, but since he joined this Wiki I have felt I can completely trust DeathBlade182 and his edits that I feel when I see his name in the recent updates, I don't need to check the page. I already know it's in good hands. He has always been a helpful contributor, keeping pages in line until either Five and I could come block whatever vandal was having his way. He has communicated with the community and administration before taking part in an action he wasn't sure about, and has the grammar of a dictionary. Let's be honest, this Wiki is lacking in active staff at the moment, and I for one believe DeathBlade182 would do a fantastic job watching over the Wiki any time no one else is around.

 * 2) I have to be honest when I say this: I am surprised that you're not an admin. Despite how harsh you can get at times, I think that all your edits and contributions have helped the Wiki. I share your hatred over vandals and I believe you can do much more as an admin. Still, admin or not, I have a certain amount of respect for you so, I support you.

 * 1) I believe you could make a great admin! I never bother to recheck a page that you have edited because I trust your judgment completely. My only concern would you can be a bit harsh at times. An admin's job is to be patient except in the case of dumb vandals. But other than that I feel you can do a wonderful job. You have my support.Nightmirage 03:16, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm not in any position of power, so I don't know if my word counts for anything. Still, I do visit and edit frequently. Anyway, you do a good job of editing and keeping pages free of vandalism. About the only qualm I have is that when undoing revisions, maybe you could pop a comment as to why the page is reverted rather than nothing at all. Other than that, I'd think you would probably make a decent admin. :D --Sera404 17:06, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Okay, maybe I'm not as active as anyone above, but I have been looking up your contributions and you definitely deserve this. Against all these vandals and such, you've definitely done your part in keeping the wiki presentable and you've consistently helped to improve it. The wiki could definitely use more active staffing, too, and you're perfect for the job. You've got my support. Batman Jones 20:36, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I was waiting for that fifth one, just to see if someone else would supply it. I'm glad they did. But I didn't want you to think I don't support it, oh no, I'm quite behind you on this, so I'll leave a nice little sixth support. Yes, it's true, I'm falling into inactivity. It's an ugly reality, but a reality all the same. I try to stay active, I really do, but it just gets... harder. As such, it makes a lot of sense that an active contributor joins the ranks. I find myself in Stigma's shoes, following the same path. Perhaps, in time, you too will walk this way. But until then, I wish you luck, my friend.

Voting for this user has stopped.

Reason: Granted sysop by User:Jo The Marten. This is an official application from me to join up for adminship. While the admins do an amazing job, they're not always on, so having another operating at different hours of the day may come in handy. While this is my first wikia which I've extensively contributed to, I have some small experience with other wikis not part of the network, and have applied some of that to the pages I edit on this wiki.

While I'm already a janitor for this wiki, and helping out with editing, reverting vandalism, adding information (as well as blog post and updates as a reporter) as well as working with staff and admin when required, I feel I can help out some more as an admin on top of my current duties.

I'll leave the choice to the community. Thanks for reading. --Sera404 04:44, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I actually thought you were an admin!! lol Anyway, I always see you making edits and correcting people's spelling and edits to make them more accurate and correct as well you've been extremely helpful to people. You have a good sense of what is going on here on wiki and you've been able to help your fellow editors out! And personally, you've been great assistance to me as well! When ever i have a concern or question, you can always give me a great answer which always solves the problem! :) Also, I totally agree with you and your hours, I see you online when it seems like the other admins are offline so it would be great to have more people watch this wiki more carefully on a sort of 24 hour basis. So yea, in the end I feel you can do an awesome job and help everyone out if you were an admin! You have my support!! :) 06abrahb 05:48, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I told you I would vote for you when I asked if you were an admin:) anyway, hes a very good user and the user I see on and editing the most. He is also kind and fair as well as helpful.Sniperteam82308 10:43, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Sera, I'll be honest with you, around the time I became an admin, you had become so active that at one point I even felt the job was given to the wrong person. You have been incredibly helpful to this Wiki, creating articles like the Uncommon Infected page, helping users, cleaning up, updating news... hell, you've done a lot more than I have, and that is in a shorter time and without being an admin, now I wonder what would you be doing with sysop privileges? I myself haven't been as active as I wish I was, either because I've been busy with college, or because I've been too lazy in my free time, but either way, you have proven to be so incredibly dedicated to the Wiki that you definitively deserve to become an administrator.  Long story made short, you have my support. DeathBlade182 22:54, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I gotta say, Sera has become more than just an avid and constructive editor since joining the wiki. He has become one of the most trustworthy editors I have seen in some time. He has gained multiple ways of contacting me if needing any kind of assistance or notification. He is always up-to-date with the know-how, and keeps this Wiki up to date with his contributions to the Blog. He is already a member of two different staff groups. He is fair, informative, and patient with other users, even when they get a little unruly. He has contributed a number of useful paged to the wiki, one of which is so well made that it became this month's Featured Article. If that doesn't qualify as constructive, then someone show me what is. I respect everything he does as his best judgment and I would be more than willing than have him as a trusted member of the administrative team.

Currently an Admin on the Red Dead Redemption wikia, I am hoping to join the cast of the Left 4 Dead wiki. I have been editing wikis for several years now and I always take grammar and spelling very seriously. As for my experience with Left 4 Dead, I play mods and know much about the innerworkings of the games as I consider myself something of a code-diver. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Also, I am on my computer from 2pm - 2am during the Summer so I will be able to keep an eye on things when others admins are sleeping. --Crowbar, resident grammar ninja 23:18, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
