Board Thread:Captain's Council/@comment-18812574-20151223230740

(Well then, seems like that title is formal and stiff enough for everyone to get an idea of what this thread is about.)

It has come to my attention that, over the course of the last few months here (in fact since summer), that the current admin staff has been relatively inactive on the wiki. As an admin myself I am partly to blame for not doing all that I maybe should have been trying to do, but the fact of the matter is this: on a good week we only have about two admins actually adminning around here, out of a staff of five. With that in mind, I propose we rotate new admins into the roster. I have two users in mind for the positions. But before that I want to say two things. The first is that we should remove Wolfthorn as an admin. He has not really been active on this wiki for at least a year, if I remember correctly, and I cannot recall the last time I saw him even edit here. The second thing I wanted to point out is that it isn’t really necessary to keep the staff at a maximum of five. While we don’t want to have a HUGE adminship here, considering the low numbers of our user base in general, it would not hurt to have an extra helping hand or so. That said, if we opened the positions to six I think we would be doing ourselves a favor as opposed to a harm. Without further ado, I’ll move on to the nominations. Keep in mind that the nominees can choose to decline for any reason and without explanation, and also that if you think someone else is worthy as a candidate you are free to nominate them as well.


 * User:Njalm2: N is an experienced wiki user and has probably been RPing for longer than some of the newer members have been alive (just kidding, heh heh). His guides are insightful and extremely helpful, and he is dedicated to conceptual quality and stresses originality in articles. I personally highly value his opinion, and believe that he would bring a mellow and mature point of view to the admin staff. I move to nominate Njalm2 as a wiki admin.


 * User:Somnium Fluxus: Sommy is an easy-going guy who is generally quite friendly and helpful towards other users. His articles are well-written and extremely unique, and he writes to write as opposed to stroke his own ego. I have never seen him take an offense personally, and while he might not be as experienced as N, I think he would still make an excellent candidate for admin if his interest in the wiki holds. I move to nominate Somnium Fluxus as a wiki admin.

On a final note (as Njalm wisely suggested), I am going to ask a couple of questions for those who wish to become admin:
 * 1. What would be your reason for becoming an admin?
 * 2. What skills or qualities could you bring to help the current administration here?
 * 3. What improvements do you think could be made on the wiki if you were to become admin?
