Slayingthehalcyon (bureaucrat)

Approved This request for user rights, or proposal, was approved. Approved

— Slayingthehalcyon Talk Contributions
With the Curse move happening pretty soon, it'll be the best for us to pick an admin, and a bureaucrat for that matter. Slaying has been a great user for as long as he's been here. He enforces the 25 edit requirement rule, pays attention to vandalism, and has been a great asset to the team. While he doesn't have the rollback flag, at this point we need someone who will be able to do all this. I don't want to jump ahead and have him go to bureaucrat without having gone from rollback to admin first, but things must be done.

I didn't want to do this so soon because I feel Slaying has some maturing that still needs to happen. But he is honestly the only person I trust at this point in time to become a user with rights. I feel Slaying has a good enough judgement so that when the time comes for needing admins, he'll pick them wisely and will be able to support/oppose with good judgement. --– Jazzi (talk) 19:23, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Bermuda (demotion)

— Bermuda Talk Contributions
Requesting for my own demotion; while I can demote myself, I would like to have others opinions. While I had a demotion ready for the near future (somewhere around December) as retirement from Wikia to focus on reality, I never knew it would come this early. I have a lot of personal things to handle right now and later on, especially since it is going to be a stressful year. Taking a break sounds nice, but frankly, I'm no longer feeling that wiki spirit. I haven't even been committed here or any other wiki lately (or in any case, never had been). I'm just feeling stressed and overly focused on reality as of now. I'm ready to take a very long "break" from Wikia.

To sum it up, I'm retiring from Pokémon Wiki and/or other wikis (or Wikia altogether). Sadly, this is my first stop onto retirement on Wikia.

I wrote this at midnight, so please disregard any confusion. :P Take care of the wiki and/or the new wiki. :) Bermuda • Triangle • 08:24,8/4/2012

It'll be weird not seeing you 'round. But, this is what you want. And I'm glad you're getting other opinions instead of going "LOL BUMP DIS". You were a great admin, a great user, a great asset to the team. I wish you the best with where you're going, and as much as I want you to stay, this is your choice, and you have to do it for you. zzi  19:00, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
Comment Comment: I appreciate your comment Jazzi. :) Now that I'm fully refreshed, I have remembered the actual reason for creating this demotion. I may pop up once in a while in either this or the new wiki to help edit and/or clean vandalism, but clearly not as an admin or a user with rights; however, I'm still undecided. My official retirement from Wikia should be around December (although things may change that). For now, I'm just making less appearances. Bermuda • Triangle • 00:32,8/5/2012

Comment Comment: I see. This is going nowhere. :P I guess I'll leave this decision up to me when it's the right time. I appreciate everyone's comments, really. So... just close down this demotion I guess. Bermuda • Triangle • 00:22,8/28/2012
Comment Comment: Erm, you know admins can remove their own rights, right? – Jazzi (talk) 00:28, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
Comment Comment: Yes, I am aware. If I didn't make my previous comment clear, it means when the time is right, I'm just going to remove it myself. I created this to hear others opinions on whether I should keep the rights (while being less active) or get rid of it since I don't see the point in keeping rights if I'm going to be that character who appears once in a while with no major role. But, apparently, this didn't go anywhere. :P So now, I'm just going to take this on my own measures. Bermuda • Triangle • 01:28,8/28/2012

Approved This request for user rights, or proposal, was approved. Approved

I like to volunteer to be a rollback editor around this wiki. I am extremely sharp to pages that are vandalized by different contributors around this wiki. First though about gaining rollback rights was for me unnecessary because as a normal editor I can also undo the edits of pages that has been vandalised. But to make a hard work to be simple as example: if a page has been vandalized repeatedly by the same contributor, then it would be simple for me as a rollback editor to undo the edits with one simple click, instead of searching throughout the history of the vandalized page at the point when it was about to be vandalized which can cause for me confussiona lot of time. I hope that you understand my reason why I am volunteering myself to be a rollback editor, and I hope that it is enough reason to become a rollback editor. Thanky you for your time, Regards, KidProdigy (Local UserpageLocal Talk) 13:47, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

I was a bureaucrat on the Marriland Wiki after the split and I would like to have my rights transferred overt from that wiki to this one. I'm a very consistent editor and while I do need my breaks, as everyone does, I mark when I'm leaving. Unless it is short notice. I've done countless work here such as cleaning up images which are low quality. Making sure articles are not copied from Bulbapedia. I've also replaced the low quality images. I've done a lot of formatting and a lot with template clean up. I feel I have the right judgement to be able to be a bureaucrat of this wiki. Wikis need more than one bureaucrat and I feel that I could be the second one. I do my job very well, as proven by my work as an admin under the account name Jäzzi. And this isn't a "oh I'm the rightful admin here". This is a "I know how to do the job of a bureaucrat, and I can help share the weight of it." I would like to be given the chance to be a bureaucrat here and I hope you consider it. – EnemyPeacemaker 23:39, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

I would like to make a request to become a administrator of the Pokémon Wiki. I know that it is too early to make another request because I got promoted like a week ago to rollback user. But the reason for this early request is because I want to make this wiki grow, not only me because for that I need a lot of help from other editors who also want to make this wiki shine. I dislike to see this wiki crumble and that many users are fighting with each other. I am a extremely active contributor with already over 1,000 edits around this wiki and almost 50,000 around the entire wikia network. Also I am also polite against other users which can start from a problem but I can solve it into a good going conversation. I would like to help a lot more and want to achieve this wiki's dream in becoming also a number one source of Pokémon information just like Serebii and Bulbapedia and I would never let this wiki crumble because of the lack of information because it needs a lot of patience to achieve it. I would like to help everyone out with solving their problems and different kinds of issues they are facing. Maybe it is too early to ask for another promotion but I really want to show this entire wiki what I've got and I will give it my all to make this wiki long awaited dream come true also with the help of many Pokémon fans. I hope that you'll accept my request because I will never let this wiki fall. Thank you for your time. Regards, KidProdigy (Local UserpageLocal Talk) 20:50, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Energy X (rollback)

So, hi! My name is Jakov (aka Energy X) and this is my request for rollback. As most of you know, I edit the anime articles - usually KidProdigy corrects grammar (Special thanks for him!). What I am really annoyed at is that vandals cause trouble - once I even saw one vandalising a template (!), so reverted it. The reason for the rollback is that I want to deal swiftly with reverting the vandalism. That and the fact I want to become an admin to deal with vandals on spot. In any case, I think I have written an essay of this request, so this is it.

Comment Comment: Well, it is not that I want admin tools. It is only the reason that I want to deal on vandals when nobody is around with the ability to do it. We need more admins and I can tell you already I know what the duties of the admin are - deleting unnecesary pages, blocking vandals and be helpful to others. If you are not convinced either way, then see this. Energy X 10:37, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
Comment Comment: We don't exactly need another admin, and we may get vandals when others aren't on, but the admins we have are capable of doing the job. – EnemyPeacemaker 13:38, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
Comment Comment: I never said that any admin here is uncapable, it is just that there aren't many active ons. Still, if you think that this site has got many (active) admins, why voting no on the rollback request as it is not an admin request? Energy X 16:51, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
Comment Comment: the only reason that you are asking for rollback now, is because you couldn't directly get to admin, which cuts you short from the power that you wanted.   Slay Talk  "Shadows wonder why we scream."18:45,2/10/2013    [[Special:EditCount/Slayingthehalcyon|Special:EditCount/Slayingthehalcyon]]

Hello everyone, my name is KidProdigy, and I would like to volunteer as one of the administrators of the Pokémon Wiki. To show faith, I am a extremely active and loyal contributor to the Pokémon Wiki, I've added useful images, templates and am undoing vandalism and evenly reports to the administrators when it becomes a very big problem, but normally I am trying to solve the problem myself. I also have 3,000+ edits made around this wiki and over 40,000+ in total. I know how to use administrator rights properly as that I am a administrator at countless wiki's as in deleting, blocking but most important helping other contributors. But also loose from that I want to make this wiki much better than expected. This wiki loses their editors and is a popular attraction for vandalisms. I don't want to see the wiki fall apart, that's why I am working very hard to make the Pokémon Wiki looks new and original and want this wiki to achieve their goal to become popular like Bulbapedia or any other popular Pokémon website evenly if it is going to take a lot of patience to achieve that goal. I hope you all can trust me with administrator rights after my reason why I want to become a administrator. Thank you all for your time.

Comment Comment: Maybe so, but what happenes if vandal makes a page with an obvious vandalism? Only admins can delete that, and if not checked, the page stays for a some time (example here). And not to mention the fact that if the vandals continue to harass the site, with nobody able to block them. Posting a message on talk page seems good, but who can promise that the admin is logged in at that time and will block the vandal(s)? The vandals need to be dealt swiftly and quickly, so the conclusion is to have more active admins. Energy X 22:47, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Comment Comment: I see no discussion when dealing with vandals. Their goal is to harass and troll us. The warning could only be to a user who is a veteran at editing, but even then he/she'd have a good reason for removing content. To warn a vandal not to vandalise is something like saying a bank robber shouldn't rob a bank. Energy X 21:48, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
