Custom BIONICLE Wiki talk:Vote for Adminship

"Oh boy here we go"

Following in BionicleChicken's step about bad ideas, I've decided to throw my toupee in the ring for a Rollback position. Since our dear friend Chalka has been demoted, that leaves two open spaces for Rollback. BC already has one of them nailed, and I want to help the community in a bigger way. I am on the wiki most times of the week, which will let me go on stub sprees, marking pages that need to gedditright. Since I am on the chat frequently, I can prove to be a very diligent chat manager, keeping out the trash and ellipses abose. If you ask around, they'll say I'm a cool guy and not a complete butt. So, even though BC is better than me in many aspects, vote #Pit4Rollback2016! Have a wonderful day/evening wherever you are! And remember...

- Ad  Victoriam!

And now for something completely different...

You are here gathered to witness my latest in a long, successive line of wild bids for power. With the administrative shuffling of late, we have seen the dethroning of SM The Great (First Of His Name), as well as the departure of our beloved FireDrag1091. Now that a power vacuum is in place, I figured I might as well try my hand at becoming a member of the true ruling class.

As of this moment in time, I have near-enough to 8 years of wiki experience, the overwhelming majority of which has been from an administrative position of some variety. I am ranked currently as the site's third highest contributor and have been concerning myself with the welfare of this wiki for the past two years. In my time as an administrator, I have concerned myself principally with purging expired stub articles and updating the main page. While my Wikia-specific coding skills could perhaps be better, I believe that they are more than proficient for this position.

I do possess a vision for CBW under my direction. Should I be made bureaucrat by your most gracious vote, I would in particular seek to legitimize a Main Page Committee into an actual organized entity, thereby ensuring regular updates of the main page and preventing bi-monthly stagnation of the voting center. I would look to resuscitate the dying trend that is story reviews and active discussion of fan-fiction content. I would seek to maintain canon-based pages and encourage the implementation of headcanons into articles. In closing (and perhaps least plausibly), I would specifically look to implement a timer feature on Stub/Wikification articles so that they can automatically be tagged for deletion once expired, if at all possible.

These are my specific ambitions; the steps that I will take to revitalize our humble wiki in this time of transition. Ideally, I would like to promote these ideals regardless of whether or not I am voted into power. But, alas, while SM has left behind a rather large and oddly-colored pair of empty clownshoes, I intend to fill them.

This wiki has seen me at my best and at my worst. It has contained me entirely and sustained me irrevocably. Without this community, I wouldn't be half the person I am today. It has nurtured me in times of need and I now intend to show what kind of leader it has sculpted me into.

Thank you and goodnight.
