UESPWiki:Patrollers/Nominations/Completed/2011b

RIM
 

Basically I already look at the recent changes quite often and I have undone a lot of vandalism, tried to answer questions, add information and add dialogue where possible so I figured I might as well try to become a patroller to make what I do a little bit easier. I don't really think I would cause much harm to the wiki or make any major screw-ups as I really just edits NPCs, quests, answer questions, give advice etc. rather than upload pictures or design templates. If I don't become a patroller that's fine, to be honest the red (!)'s would make my job a little bit easier and that's one of the main reasons that I'm applying. So that's about it and let me know what you think I guess. If you have any questions feel free to ask Thanks.RIM 20:53, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment: One of the suggested requirements for a patroller is a working email function - just a hint, since you don't seem to have one. The other option is being an IRC frequenter. Kitkat   21:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
:Oh actually you're right, I think I have an e-mail account so if i can remember the password I'll use that, otherwise I'll set one up.Thanks for reminding me.RIM 21:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
::Ok, I think I have a useable email address now:)RIM 22:08, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Oppose: I don't feel comfortable letting your edits go unchecked. I won't point out specific examples as a courtesy, but there are inconsistencies with your edits. Also, the header issues, not knowing how to add your email, messages, and edit summaries really don't convince me that you have a grasp of the wiki's functions, something I deem pivotal of a patroller. Perhaps later, but not now—at least from me.elliot   22:05, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
::Comment:Firstly, an email is only a suggestion, not a requirement, secondly, what's wrong with my edit summaries and messages? I do have a grasp of the wiki's functions and as I said, I'm only going to be monitoring the recent changes not adding images or designing templates.RIM 14:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 : As usual, I did a random sampling of a few of your edits before voting, and I found a couple of issues in the posts that I sampled. Since I believe you should learn from your mistakes, here are the ones I found:  - the line is split and there's no period at the end;  - no period after the quotation and "aparant" was misspelled; and  - mistakenly corrected "its" to "it's" when it was actually correct in the first place. Any one of these might have been fine on its own—we all make mistakes, and in some cases, there could be justifications for choice of formatting, etc.—but that I was able to find several issues in a random sampling of edits makes me leary of having your edits unpatrolled at the moment. That said, I've noticed your name in my patrolling, and you've been doing a lot of good work. If you can work on your spelling and grammar a bit more, I'll be happy to support a nomination in the future.  &ndash; Robin Hood    18:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC) Neutral: I can't say I disagree with the position of the three current supporters, so am withdrawing my vote, since I'm somewhat ambivalent at this point.  &ndash;Robin Hood    23:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
::Comment: Thanks for actually pointing out some of the mistakes. I noticed that there was a space when I was editing but since it didn't actually make any difference to the article when reading I didn't think it was important. As for the full stops, or periods, I have noticed that sometimes on my keyboard the (.) button, the (m), (p), (i) and (w) buttons and the shift keys don't always work when pressed, either that or I just don't press them down hard enough:)RIM 18:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: In my opinion, it’s important to realize that we ALL make small mistakes these days, like grammar, red links, factual mistakes or whatever. RIM is a busy and helpful editor, and I have absolutely no problems with him being auto-patrolled - if he is willing to help us out with the exclamation marks in return. Honestly, this is the busiest period of time in UESP history, so a few rushed edits shouldn’t blacklist a steady editor from patrolling duties. Looking through my own SR-related edits since 11.11.11, I should probably be blacklisted as well. Right now, it’s all about doing the very best we can, and I’m confident RIM will do just that. --Krusty 11:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: The mistakes I've noticed sampling his contributions aren't anything that would make me unsure of having his edits auto-patrolled, especially considering our lenient patrolling guidelines these days.  I think giving him these rights would be a welcome assistance on the site.  --GK  21:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: It's often been said that the votes of admins can change the votes of others, and that's definitely the case here. I was going to oppose this nomination - reluctantly - until Krusty's vote made me stop and think, and then GK's vote pushed me the rest of the way. If this was a quiet period I'd vote "oppose" and feel sure that RIM would be ready in 3 months. As it is, I'll take the problems so that we can deal with a larger one - we don't have enough people to patrol all the edits being made even with the lower patrolling standards. RIM was on my radar as a future patroller, and though this may be a couple of months early, there's no better time to learn. I'll vote "yay" and hope that RIM learns on the job. rpeh  23:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: Just. While RIM does make a notable number of minor mistakes, he's shown himself to be more than entirely willing to assist, and I haven't noticed any major problems with his editing. --AKB   00:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Support: I have seen you making a lot of good edits lately, that is the sort of thing we need at the moment. (Eddie The Head 10:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC))

Kitkat1749

Over the past month or so, I've been thinking about nominating myself to become a Patroller. Although I know this has been said many times before, I honestly feel as though I'm liking my own status on Facebook - but here goes anyway.
I already monitor the Recent Changes page frequently, so I've seen first hand the massive amount ofSkyrim edits being made. I'm eager to help out the site and to ease the burden on the current Patrollers. I've been active on the site for nearly six months, and at this point I have a fairly wide knowledge of how things work around here. One of my main goals is to revert vandalism whenever I see it - however, I can also answer questions, add links, fix layouts, and categorize images. I also have workingemail functions and I'm an IRC frequenter. I've been a Userspace Patroller for almost four months now, so I already know how to patrol. I'm really interested in giving back to the site by helping out, since it's helped me so much in the past. -Kitkat   17:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Support: I've seen Kitkat watching the recent changes on many occasions, reverting vandalism. I think the wiki would benefit from her being a patroller. --Alfwyn 18:01, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: Let's get this patroller the hat and secret handshake to make it official. I believe in KitKat.    Lukish    18:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: Kitkat already patrols the Recent Changes, and makes good constructive edits across the board. Definitely knows her stuff, and it means its a few less edits to patrol if we just give her the extra button and all the exclamation marks --       18:22, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: Good editor who knows what she's doing. Would definitely help the site. rpeh  19:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: It's clear she's up to the task. I see no reason not to give her the extra buttons. Wolok gro-Barok20:05, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

This is uncomfortable because I'm bad at both bragging and accepting praise. However, I think I've done some good for the wiki, and I could do more as a Patroller. I won't use any privilege given to me without being absolutely sure that doing so is appropriate under the guidelines. Thank you for your consideration. Minor Edits 03:13, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Support: I've always seen you as a robot with a sense of humor. And by that I mean that all your edits have pretty much always been 100% correct as far as I'm concerned. If that isn't enough, you've also written a featured article (or at least one that I know of), not that this really matters here, but it adds to your trustworthiness. Fortunately for you, excelling in bragging and accepting praise isn't a requirement for patroller eligibility, excelling in improving the site is ~ Dwarfmp 03:41, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: I've only been back in any meaningful sense for 24 hours and already I've noticed that your edits are very reliable, with excellent spelling and grammar. In a random search through your contributions before I voted, I also found evidence that you're familiar with tables and with the ins and outs of the wiki's templates. As well, I've several times seen you responding to questions, reverting vandalism, and correcting information. What more could we ask for?  &ndash;Robin Hood    04:01, 24 December 2011 (UTC) Edit: Per below suggestions, I have no qualms with a speedy nomination.  &ndash; Robin Hood   18:21, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: About time! I think most people are way, way past treating your edits as "patrol on sight" and I'd have nominated you myself ages ago if you hadn't seemed somewhat reluctant. It's tempting to just give you the flag now, because I can't see anybody voting to oppose.rpeh  10:40, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: Good choice, we could always do with more hands. I've never had to check one of your edits in a meaningful way, always well informed and constructive edits. I'd also like to agree with rpeh's last point about skipping the waiting time? --       15:04, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: I don't have much to say. Supporting this patrollership seems the only logical choice. Minor Edit's edit history speaks for itself. --Legoless 15:11, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Support: You know, I've always though that you had the funniest user name on the wiki. To describe your editions as minor raises the question as to what exactly everyone else on the wiki has been doing. I also agree that this should be closed speedily in his favor, as I find it hard to imagine anyone opposing this nomination. --AKB   16:30, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Themendios (Nomination Withdrawn)
 

I realize this account is just shy of the requirement, I've been very active lately but have been around for years mostly reading, though I have occasionally helped out like with Glitches recently User:99.117.158.55.  If this is a problem then hopefully you can wait 4 days before voting, I thought I'd do this while I was thinking about it.

I'm asking because basically it's less work for everybody else because I scan Recent Changes regularly anyway, just can't mark things as patrolled, though I've started warning anons to try to help out.   I'm not personally invested in my wiki persona or title so you won't see drama or abuse and if you decide to take it away, I won't complain.

Thanks.

Oppose:  The easiest litmus test is seeing if we feel your edits don't need to be double checked by a patroller, and at this time, I'm not comfortable with that. elliot   23:07, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Oppose: I think you've been doing some good editing, but I just feel I still have to check your edits all the time. It just doesn't feel like I can just have a very brief scan and click patrolled immediately. I think that soon you'll be ready, and at some point in the future, re-apply. A sign of when you ready is when no one has to revert or tweak your edits, and i've had to just clean a few of them up. --       15:10, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Manic (Nomination Withdrawn)

 

Moved from . --AKB   00:04, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I Manic, would like to nominate myself for the role of recent changes patroller. I have been active on the wiki for over a year, I know how to utilise the majority of tools on the wiki and have spent a lot of time monitoring the recent changes page. On top of this I have contributed to a lot of pages (especially Oblivion pages), whether it be writing content or checking in-game and the construction set to verify information. My most prized achievement was the completion of the two VIP Mages Guild members Raminus Polus and Hannibal Traven. I spent a lot of time improving the Mages Guild pages and believe I have lived up to the standards of the Uespwiki guidelines. I also try to keep others informed about what I am doing, and gladly accept and give help when needed. Thanks for your consideration and I look to keep on contributing.--  23:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Support: I think you are a good editor and you have more than enough edits. From what I have seen you are also friendly with other users too. We also need active patrollers with the release of Skyrim.RIM 23:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Oppose: There is no denying that you're is a good content editor, but I don't believe he needs patroller rights to continue to assist the wiki. For starters, I had to move this nomination to the correct page. The need for me to correct this edit not only brings into question if your contributions still need to be patrolled, but also if you read the article detailing what is expected of a patroller at all. One of my biggest problems with this nomination is that it's come on the heels of a notable period of spotty activity on your part. While regular activity isn't a requirement, it is a nice addition, and shows that the you're dedicated. As you state on your user page, you can't be very active right now. I don't see how it benefits the site to have a new patroller who admits he can't contribute much at a time like this. More importantly, your recent activity has been focused towards Oblivion. Once again, there isn't a problem with this, it's just that that isn't the namespace that needs the attention right now. In fact, you haven't made many contributions to the Skyrim namespace at all, which is what I believe a patroller is expected to make if at all possible. If you were to become more active in the Skyrim namespace, I'd almost certainly support you, but as of now, I can't justify you receiving the extra responsibilities. --AKB 01:02, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Oppose: I agree with AKB. I'm not convinced of Manic's eligibility for being patroller, at least as of yet. I've seen some big additions under his name, but that is precisely the point, because they always need to be cleaned up afterwards to be 100% correct. Being a patroller means auto-patrolled edits, so those edits need to be completely correct if we don't want a mess. Of course I haven't seen much of his activity (or any in general) on the site, since I'm playing Skyrim, but I don't think my view is wrong ~ Dwarfmp 15:14, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Lukish
I heard we needed patrollers for this endless barrage of semi-naked wife edits. I'm here to help stem the tide. I've had a hard time being useful to the wiki lately due to my refusal to get skyrim until it has a Creation Kit (and other things), but now I have way more spare time than most people who own the game. I know the wiki policies pretty decently, and if there's a question, you know I do my research. If anyone needs to contact me, I'm always in IRC.    Lukish    23:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Support: Reasons to love - IRC, and your editing style, very good editor with good skills. Always nice and polite --       15:19, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: I have no concerns with Lukish being granted these rights.  --GK  14:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: Absolutely no objections from me. Lukish is an age-old editor with a lot of patience and he seems keen to help us get through the snowstorm. Let’s just give him the tools so he can get to work! --Krusty 15:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: Enough said. He's been around long enough, and he has shown himself capable to be a patroller. I would also support skipping the 7-days waiting period if a few more votes are cast in favour of Lukish.--Timenn-  16:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
For the record, I support the decision about skipping the 7-day rule. --Krusty 16:16, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Alfwyn

I started about two month ago to edit in earnest, with prior experience on other mediawikis. As a patroller I would focus on Skyrim pages in the beginning. I'm nominating myself right now, because in my perception the site could use an additional active patroller at the moment. Any comments on how to improve on my contributions would be helpful too. --Alfwyn 14:48, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Votes
Support: No problems with this. You clearly know what you're doing, as evidenced by the massive amount of cleanup in the Skyrim namespace. --Legoless 15:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: Yup, we really could use the extra pair of hands. And in this case I think they would be helpful set. Alfwyn's edits are all always spot on. He understands the finer workings of the wiki. Furthermore, he seems to have a watchful eye for needed corrections. Traits fitting a patroller. I will also support skipping the 7-days waiting period in this case. --Timenn-  15:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: A little quick research reveals nothing troubling, just lots of good-faith, correct, and well-formatted edits.  Alfwyn receiving these rights could only benefit the wiki.  --GK  15:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Support: No objections from me; Alfwyn's edits are a no-brainer when it comes to patrolling, and we could definitely use an extra hand in these insane times. --Krusty 19:00, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Kiz
I have always liked the idea of becoming a Patroller, but with Skyrim here and the fact my in-content edit rate has gone up somewhat I feel now is as good-a-time as ever for this. I feel more secure in my own article writing now, although Show Preview is frequently used even on tiny edits, and feel somewhat more knowledgeable about the various wiki markup (and somehow, have taken a worryingly large liking to tables).--       21:07, 28 November 2011 (UTC) Just a small add-on, I just read the qualifications, I have a working Email function and spend a lot of time inIRC, so I can be contacted. --       08:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Support: I’ve collaborated with Kiz on several occasions and he is always helpful, friendly and is willing to spend an awful lot of time to improve the Wiki. To be honest, I think he sells his skills a bit too short in his “sales speech” above, but that is just a plus in my book. He is a wizard with tables and he understands Wiki formatting perfectly, which is exactly what we need these days. Full support from me.--Krusty 22:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

He's hardworking, is always looking for new ways to help out and improve articles, and is a pleasure to collaborate with. He's also very talented with coding and tables. 100% support from me.

Kalis Agea
I asked KA a month ago if s?he would be interested in becoming a patroller, then forgot about it. My reasons for asking at the time were that KA had been doing great work across the site, especially in the Lore space, and that I was getting bored of saying "Yeah, yeah, yeah" while clicking "patrol" on the huge number of edits s?he makes. A month later (having forgotten about it - sorry) and nothing has changed. KA is a great editor, having contributed to several site projects, but most especially Lore. It's been some time since I felt the need to give a serious check to one of Kalis Agea's edits, which means it's long past time that this user was nominated for Patroller status.
I accept this nomination.--Kalis Agea  02:31, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Support: As nominator. rpeh  00:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Support: Being promoted to a patroller will mean a lot less of those "checked spells" patrolling! While numerous edits having to be patrolled could be a bad but senseful argument, I'm pretty sure all of those edits are done professionally and are completely correct. But it's not just minor edits, I've seen quite some contributions to the lore pages indeed. Kalis Agea is one of those names you see at the recent changes that makes you think something like "work is being done", instead of "what is it now...". What I'm trying to say is that I pretty much consider Kalis a patroller already, the only reminder being the unpatrolled edits ~ Dwarfmp 05:59, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Support: Full support from me. Kalis knows his stuff, and he is one of the best active contributors we have.--Legoless 11:35, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Support: Even though I've been away for most of Kalis's time here on UESP, a like what I see very much. He has done truly excellent work on the Lore pages, especially on the SI ones I am most keen on! His edits are always accurate and professional, so I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the team. --SerCenKing   12:45, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Support: I promised you my support a while ago, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. Kalis has been an excellent help on the wiki. I have no qualms with him being a patroller. --AKB   21:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Support: I have nothing to add, really. Still impressed about Kalis’ work on the Shivering Lore pages (this onein particular, although they’re all good) and the fact that he is a fan of Queensryche - a rare breed indeed! --Krusty 22:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
