User blog:Withersoul 235/Admin Elections

After way too many delays on my part which I hereby apologize for, it's finally here.

First: Thanks for all the salutes on our Resignation blog, guys. It's cool to see that our work was appreciated.

Without further ado, here are the rules that need to be followed:


 * 1) You may nominate both yourself and others given that you / they meet the requirements.
 * 2) Comments on this blog must be related to the elections e. g. nominations or wether you personally support or oppose a promotion.  All offtopic comments / spam will be deleted and you will be banned for 2-3 days as warning. 
 * 3) Keep all discussions civil.

Here are the requirements you must meet in order to qualify for nominations:


 * 1) At least 250 edits, predominantly to articles.
 * 2) Minimum wiki membership time of 1.5 - 2 months.
 * 3) A mature, cool and levelheaded attitude.
 * 4) Moderation experience is not compulsory, but highly recommended.
 * 5) You must have at least intermediate knowledge of how to use Fandom, including its editor and whatnot. You will be guided by our pre-existing admins in the field of staff tools.
 * 6) You must be willing to help the wiki out of genuine passion and care, not just for the shiny admin title.
 * 7) Every nominee must be of legal age to use Fandom within their country's jurisdiction (== No users who are underage on Fandom), which is:
 * 16 years in the US state of California and the following European countries: All members of the EEA + Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
 * 13 years in the rest of the world; this includes every other US state, and other European countries such as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, San Marino, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Monaco, Andorra, Montenegro, North Macedonia and the United Kingdom. As you can see, the EEA is not the same as the EU (== Croatia is in the EU but not the EEA, and vice versa for countries like Switzerland).
 * For further reference, see the Fandom Terms of Use under "Membership". This difference in age is largely due to local COPPA-esque legislature in California and the mentioned European countries.

When nominating, please specify why you or that person should be promoted and what you / they will bring to the table. Voting takes place in comments. We do not use  tags because they are anonymous and incredibly easy to cheat.  Only users with at least 50 edits and a membership of 2-3 weeks may vote . Please vote ONLY for those that you genuinely believe are fit for the job, not just because they're friends or "cool people".

Argus, Sentai and I will overlook the elections and pick 2-3 nominees. The people with the most votes will be investigated first — while the final decision is still ours, your vote does give priority to that user, and hence can push them into adminhood over other users. Pick wisely. (We will still investigate all users anyway, until we reach our maximum quota of admins).

The elections will end next week, on 28 October.

Go wild, but stay within reason.

Q: "Can I vote?"

A: CHECK YOUR PROFILE. If it says 50 edits or more and the date in your edit count goes back to at least 2-3 weeks earlier, then you can. If not, you can't vote. Clear and simple.
