BioShock Wiki:Requests for user rights/Adminship requests

Requests for adminship (RFA) is the process by which the community decides who will become administrators (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional technical features that aid in maintenance. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please be familiar with the administrators' reading list, how-to guide, and guide to requests for adminship before submitting your request.

Please support a User by leaving a signature and a reason why you support, and the same for not supporting. Non-constructive posts will be removed.

Hello. I am Stigma-231, and I am here to request sysop status on the BioShock Wiki. I have been editing this wiki since March 21st, 2009, and in that month or so that I've been here, I've accumulated approximately 127 edits. That's not as much as what I've had on other wikis, yes, but I've done my best with my busy schedule. I've been editing wikis for over a year now, having started sometime in the spring '08 on Halopedia. There, I received rollback rights a few months in. Eventually, I began to branch out, though; I joined other wikis such as the Left 4 Dead Wiki, Icopedia, and eventually this place. The main difference, as far as I can see? I possess sysop on those two wikis, but not here. Now, I'm not saying that's a reason I should become an admin, I simply think it backs up that I can be trusted with the extra buttons that come with that status. In the end, though, my goal isn't to inflate my ego; my goal is to help improve this wiki and make it the best that it can be.

If you will look at Special:Listusers/sysop, it shows that there has only ever been one local admin to the wiki, the founder Grubish360, the only other sysops being Wikia staff. Unfortunately, it almost appears that the founder has done a ding-dong-ditch, if you will: created the wiki, maybe edited for a little while, but he hasn't edited the wiki since September 30th. Shame, isn't it. However, I think for as many articles as this wiki has, it definitely needs more admins. Local admins to deal with local issues, so we will not go running to the higherups at the slightest mishap that we should be able to handle ourselves. I know, I really haven't done very much outside of editing articles for grammar and the like, but I know BioShock. I know Rapture. I know wikis. I have an idea of how they work...and they don't work well without some sort of power immediately accessible to the people who make up the wiki's community. I would like to be that power, and I will continue working as much as needed to help this wiki, with or without sysop status. But I feel it would help very much in the end.

I suppose that is all I can think of, for the moment. If anyone has any questions they'd like to ask, would you kindly leave a message on my talk page? Please, don't be shy. I will address your question as soon as I can. I sincerely thank you for reading, and hope that this grand community will take my request into consideration. I cannot pull the Great Chain by myself. - §tigma-231 ♠ ʍo uld y  ю u kɨn  dly [ łalk ][ ςont ] 16:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
