I am admin at Persian Wikia and I feel I can help to keep the Central Wikia free from vandalism. I do understand how to use admin powers. And also I can help Persians that come here and want help.Thanks.-- BlueDevil Talk 15:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Not enough experience. -- 15:55, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *Why? I think I have enough experience to be sysop. Can you be more specific, please?-- BlueDevil Talk 16:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I'd like to see some edits from you showing you have a firm grip of the policies here at Central, that you can revert vandalism and such (doesn't take rollback to rv vandalism), and that you know what kind of tools are here at Central that admins can use (like Spam blacklist, among others). -- Skiz  zerz  14:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC) (vote changed to support)
 * 4) *Yes, I know what kind of tools are here at Central. As you said Admins can use Spam blacklist to control widespread spamming and disruption of Wikia, view special:Unwatchedpages, change Mediawiki:Monobook.css, protect pages, revert vandalism, Block a user or IP, delete pages or images and etc. I know all the tools and also know how to use them, if it's necessary.-- BlueDevil Talk 15:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **Then make some more contibutions here, I'm seriously right on the borderline between support and oppose. Also, some tools you didn't mention: Interwiki map, MediaWiki:Blacklist title list, MediaWiki:External image whitelist. -- Skiz zerz  16:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ***I did not have time to contribute due to my school work. I will be more active here.-- BlueDevil Talk 16:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) ****You need to be here a while and have a firm grasp of what a central admin can really do (a lot more than a regular sysop) and why we should trust you with all the tools. Central Wikia sysops, in addition to regular sysops also have access to the Spam blacklist, Interwiki map, Image/Url filters, Global JS, and AWB/MWB access lists (all of which affect Wikia on a global scale). You need to show us that you can be trusted to have access to these tools. Welcoming new users isn't going to prove that to us. I suggest scouring Wikia for spam and reporting it here, learning how the i template works and where to use it, and showing users (if applicable) where the content may be more appropriate. -- 01:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) *****When a user wants to help the community and helps however he can_ no matter it is by welcoming new users or some thing like that, it proves that the user can be trusted in a community. By requesting for adminship, I do not want to have more powers for fun, I want to have access to those tools to help more. And I don’t think that a user that wants to help the community is going to use the tools against it. -- BlueDevil Talk 18:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) ******That's not very convincing. I can understand your concern to help people and assist the community, but you don't necessarily need admin tools to do it. Welcoming users and placing a few adoption tags on pages, you don't need admin tools for that. You don't need admin tools for translating either, those kinds of things can be done at messaging, not Central. You say you want access to those tools to "help more", are you aware of how all those tools work? Are you familiar with simple regex works for the blacklist tools? etc I just don't think you have any reason (yet), to have access to all those tools and blacklists. After a little more time here, I'd be glad to support you again in the future. -- 15:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) *******Being here more does not give you any reason why I should become admin. It just do not let me to help by having more access to the tools. Translating and welcoming are works to show you that I am trusted, could be trusted and I do help. I do know how to use the tools. -- BlueDevil Talk 16:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) ********I don't think you do, you didn't answer any of my questions from my last edit, you just keep repeating yourself... and that makes me really uneasy and making me trust you less. "I want to help" "I want the tools" "I need access". Those aren't the answers I'm looking for, I asked questions and I did not get answers to those questions. I am standing by my opposition. Sorry. -- 17:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments
I believe that what Charitwo (and consequently me) want to say to you is: you have too little contributions in Wikia (including Central wikia), but your intentions are good, but you need some more knowledge of the Central Wikia, and more involviment with the work in Central (revert vandalisms, put wikis for adoption, give welcome to newusers, look at new pages, etc.). In your contributions I saw some work in translation and this is good, and to help others Wikia users that speak persian, you don't need of this tools now; in the future, for sure, you might need of then, and so, someone can consider you for adminship. Best regards. (sorry the english) :) --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko ( Talk )  23:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
