Forum:Replacement of Admin Yazzy Dream

Description
Given the departure of User:YazzyDream, the wiki finds itself one admin short of the decided 4 admins. This forum will be for nominating potential users who have demonstrated themselves to be worthy of adminship. There are a few requirements for nominations.

In order to nominate, one must:
 * Have been active regularly on this wiki for at least six months.
 * Have at least 1000 edits.

In order to be eligible for nomination, one must:
 * Have been an editor regularly on this wiki for at least one year.
 * Have at least 1000 edits cumulatively in three or more of the following areas: forums, templates, articles, talk pages.

Nominations will last for 1 week, ending on Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 0:00 UTC. Once nominations have concluded, a new forum will open for voting. That being said, please do not endorse any candidate on this forum. Also, no user may nominate his or herself.

To nominate, please follow this example:

User:DancePowderer
I nominate User:DancePowderer. Nominated by your signature here.

Once a nomination has been posted, the nominee must either accept or decline the nomination by posting either Accepted by nominee&apos;s signature here. or Declined by nominee&apos;s signature here.

Example: I nominate User:DancePowderer. Nominated by your signature here. Accepted or Declined by nominee&apos;s signature here.

Upon declination, the nomination will be struck through by a current administrator in order to better keep track of candidates. Upon acceptance, the nomination will be bolded by an administrator for the same reason. If the user does not accept the nomination within the one week allocated for nomination, that user will not be eligible for candidacy in the proceeding election. Please be mindful of edit conflicts, as there is a good chance some will occur.

Discussion
Honestly, I think this isn't really enough. The one year limitation really directs us to nominate a few users, since the majority of the regular users here anymore have joined in 2012. The only users here who are still eligible for nominations really are LPK, Rici, Ryu, Panda, Klobis, Calu, Hime, and myself. Even from that, the users who edit the most are Klobis, Calu, and me. Our community is too small anymore to have this one year limitation. I think the minimum time should be reduced to 6 months, or somewhere between. That will give a little more opportunity for people because the majority of us aren't even a year old yet. 13:50, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

The only problem with that Nada is all the extra mucking around and the amount of time this whole ordeal will take if DP took the time rule back to 6 months. But I guess to some respects I do agree, there are some people I do feel deserve to be nominated for this position but unfortunately they haven't been here long enough. 14:02, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

At the very least, people with six months experience should be able to nominate people. 15:39, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * They already can. I could nominate, but I just don't have anyone else I want to nominate, besides the current candidates. 15:46, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I must have missed that part. I judged by the lack of newer editors adding nominations. 15:53, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

I do not really understand the restriction on the nominee... shouldn't be the same as the polls? Otherwise the group of people who can nominee someone and the group of people who are eligible are too alike.


 * I think the reason for its restriction is because this poll is much more major than any other. This isn't like removing renders, or fixing the fansub page, or telling what to do with our blogs. This is a poll to give people rights that can run the Wiki. Like running for U.S. president; You have to be 18 to vote, but 35 to be voted for. This is, in a way, voting for a "new president" of the Wiki. Adding a new member to our hypothetical Gorosei, even. That's why these restrictions exist. I agree we should have more restrictions on people eligible for nominations, but limiting it this far seems a little much. That's sort of where I'm getting at.  16:28, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
