Forums: Index &rarr; Adoption requests &rarr;

What is your username? Speysider

Please link to the wiki here: http://naruto.wikia.com

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 1990

How many days/months have you been editing there? 1 year and 8 months.

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Admins are regularly editing the wiki, the latest was TheUltimate3

Any other information:

There are no bureaucrats on the wiki. While there are two of them, they do not contribute (anymore) in any form to the wiki and are never active. I also have noticed unnecessary censorship due to a supposed image war (does that even exist) which defeats the purpose of a wiki at all. I will nominate myself since I'm an active editor, but many more crats are needed on the wiki. --Speysider (Talk Page) 20:32, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we need someone to be a bureaucrat. There are many people who is deserving to be an admin or rollback. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 09:17, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. We really need an bureaucrat. Narutopedia is really a big wiki with lots of things going on including vandals, spams, conflicts, etc. and there is no active bureaucrat —¤ S @lil ¤ Uchiha Symbol.svg (T@lk) 12:14, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Comment
One of the admins is Dantman who has over 10k edits. Spey has 1,990, Ind has 4,212 and Salil 1,015. This makes them very active editors, but it seems inappropriate to say that someone does "not contribute in any form to the wiki and are never active" when the person in question has more than the sum of objectors' combined.

People that it seems would be good to involve in this conversation are the Rollbacks (there are 9 of them) and the SysOps (there are 7). I would look forward to their commentary here.

w:c:naruto:Forum:Administrative_Declaration would also be good reading for whomever reviews this as the issue appears to be discussed there. +Yc 06:13, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ofcourse he has contributed a lot. What we mean is in the present, he is totally inactive. And deva27 is the only rollback user who is active —¤ S @lil ¤ Uchiha Symbol.svg (T@lk) 06:30, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Tycoil, the number of edits does not matter. The two crats no longer contribute in any form to Narutopedia because they don't see any point to doing so, when there's many admins to do the work. The number of rollbacks is also irrelevant since only 2 of them are even active. If your going to make an argument, at least get your facts right. You also seem to have absolutely no idea what your on about so please stay out of this. --Speysider (Talk Page) 07:33, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think he meant the crat (specifically Dantman) never contributed at all. I don't need the crat/sys-op powers. I know I'm still undeserving and I just wanna have rollback powers. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 08:13, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * this is pointless now. It is fixed. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 16:59, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not pointless. The topic will just be revived when Dantman goes inactive yet again. Having the one extra bureaucrat is all that I ask for. --Speysider (Talk Page) 17:03, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Response
Hi. Dantman is active so he can appoint a bureaucrat after the community has a discussion/vote and picks an appropriate admin to be promoted. However, the only right a bureaucrat has that an admin does not have is to promote other users. So unless you really need more sysops or rollbacks or whatever appointed right now, there is no real need to have an active bureaucrat in addition to the active admins. Dantman can promote people even if he is not regularly around. Whatever the decision, it should be worked out on-wiki in this case. If, in future, you need to promote more users and Dantman is inactive, please make a community decision about who should receive bureaucrat rights and then ask us, and we will be happy to give them the rights. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:50, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the trouble. Dantman already messaged us that he is active. He also appointed several users to be a rollbacker and requested to have a special power to create another rollback user then admins can remove rollback users. —IndxcvNovelist (talk 08:01, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
