UESPWiki:Patrollers/Nominations/Completed/2007

This page is an archive of old nominations for patroller status and should not be edited. Please ask any questions on the main article's talk page

Timenn

Reasons

I seem to be able to keep up with the Recent Changes, and being here for over a half year has given me some insight on the inner workings of this wiki. I believe I meet the requirements for becoming a Patroller, and I think I'm ready for it now.

Votes

• Support: Decisions don't come much easier than this one! One of the site's finest editors. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 15:31, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: I've been waiting for six months to make this vote :) Timenn's edits are all high quality and well researched. If I already thought he had enough experience in May, then he definitely has enough experience now to make a great patroller! --Nephele^Talk 17:00, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: What can I say? No question on this one. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 17:35, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Absolutely! --Eshe^talk17:50, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Only mark against him is that he and Timmeh are going to confuse me with the similar names... --Ratwar 23:22, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Timenn is definitely an editor of good faith. And I agree with Ratwar; luckily it's not that big a deal if I get their edits confused, since they're both talented editors! --GuildKnight^Talk2me 01:50, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Consensus

Support:--Ratwar 15:13, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Timmeh

Reasons

Timmeh has taken the reigns of the Daggerfall Redesign Project and is doing as far as I can tell a pretty bang-up job with it. More importantly, almost none of the current Patrollers know anything at all about Daggerfall, so it's a little hard for us to patrol edits in this namespace.

Votes

• Support: As nominator. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 17:35, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: He's been around, and he makes quality edits. Why not? --Ratwar 23:22, 3 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Another great editor. Another easy decision! --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:38, 4 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Another editor of good faith, see Timenn votes --GuildKnight^Talk2me 01:52, 4 December 2007 (EST)
• Support: Yep! --Eshe^talk17:26, 4 December 2007 (EST)
• Neutral: I normally patrol the recent changes, if only to find a Daggerfall editor to huggle or to find an article that I once edited or know a lot about that might be being vandalized. My English... works. While it may not be what I wish it to be, it will suffice for making intelligent edits. I also use a program that has a spell checker, so I will *almost* never misspell words. I'm also in IRC quite a bit. --Timmeh ^Talk 19:26, 5 December 2007 (EST)

Consensus

Support:--Ratwar 15:13, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Mankar Camoran

Reasons

I honestly think by being a patroller I can be more helpful to the community. I saw the Nomination Guidelines and I think I do meet all the requirements. Therefore I am nominating myself. So what do you think? --Mankar Camoran 09:52, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Votes

Support: I had honestly forgotten you weren't already a patroller or I'd have put your name forward myself. Absolutely no hesitation from me - Mankar is a very helpful and responsible editor who has already demonstrated familiarity with the recent changes page. Easy decision! --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 09:58, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: I thought you were a patroller already also. Weird. Anyhow, you certainly deserve it. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 10:36, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: A yes to this one as well. Sure is nice to have this wave of good editors! --Eshe^talk14:01, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: Everything appears to be in order. --Ratwar 14:11, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: That is very strange... I, too, thought Mankar was already a patroller. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 09:32, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: As your mentor, Mankar, I'm amazingly proud of you *kisses Vivek on cheek* Somercy 10:27, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: I'm not sure if my vote counts since I've got so few edits on this site. But knowing Vivek, aka Mankar Camoran, as I do, I am firmly convinced that his quite singular dedication to the quality and betterment of this site, as also to the community responsible for the creation and maintenance of this site, makes him eligible, to say the least, to become a patroller. - Vishruth 14:51, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Support: I thought you were a patroller, you should be. Great editor. Western3589 15:33, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Support: --Nephele^Talk 12:28, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Gaebrial

Reasons

His edits are solid and even backed by in-game testing in some cases, so much so that I no longer hesitate to mark your edits as patrolled. Furthermore, I'm not the only one that thinks so: see User talk:Gaebrial#Well, I'm Impressed!. I think he'd be a good patroller. --DrPhoton 04:22, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Votes

Support: As nominator. --DrPhoton 04:22, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: I'd been planning to ask Gaebrial to reconsider his previous refusal myself, as it's quite clear that he has the knowledge and ability to be a good patroller. At the very least it'll mean the many useful edits he makes are auto-patrolled, saving the rest of us a great deal of work! --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:15, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: Seems capable, and would be good to have more Morrowind people on the Patroller staff. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 10:36, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: I agree with everyone else on this one. Yes! --Eshe^talk14:01, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: If you can get DrPhoton to trust you, you can easily have my vote. --Ratwar 14:11, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: Definitely capable, and Lurlock made a good point about having more Morrowind people. --Mankar Camoran 08:44, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 09:30, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: I always have been in favor of it! Somercy 10:27, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Vesna

Reasons

He/She (I'm assuming 'She' from the name) often checks the Recent Changes page, makes good edits, answers questions, and reverts vandalism. She's also not afraid to contact admins about blocking vandals. --Ratwar 23:27, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Votes

Support: As Nominator. --Ratwar 23:27, 27 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: No worries here. Good series of edits including reverts, small tweaks and big changes. I'm sure s/he will be a great addition to the team. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 08:55, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: This is a perfect example of someone who is already showing that they are capable of performing the functions of a Patroller. I whole-heartedly support. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 09:13, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: Sounds good to me! --Eshe^talk16:47, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: Belated welcome back to the site, Vesna :) Vesna's been helping out a lot lately, with good quality and well-researched edits. She obviously already knows her way around the Recent Changes page. My only question had been how long it would take before Vesna got nominated! --Nephele^Talk 17:30, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

Support: No complaints here. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 10:36, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: Looks knowledgeable and enthusiastic. --Mankar Camoran 08:44, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Support: Indeed, no issue! Somercy 10:27, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Consensus

Support --Nephele^Talk 12:28, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Willyhead

Reasons

I think the Battle of Nineten at the Wiki--the recent spamfest--has proved at the very least that Willy knows how to udo bad edits, watch the recent changes page, and make life miserable for spambots. At the very least, having him on board will make it so we don't have to mark his edits as patrolled during the next attack. I can't think of any objections to having him--even his new-ness is displaced by his obvious desire to help. --Somercy 11:42, 10 September 2007 (EDT)

Votes

• Support: There's no doubt that Willyhead has become familiar with the Recent Changes page as his series of reverts and fixes proves, but I'm still a bit concerned that his own spelling mistakes are rectified with multiple uses of the Save page button rather than of the Show preview button. That said, hopefully this will change when he makes Patroller and realises how frustrating it is! On balance, I think he'd do well in the team. --Rpeh^Talk 14:35, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
• Hesitant: Well, I can hardly say no to this after this morning's spam battle! Willyhead has done a great job of cleaning up spam and vandalism and is clearly dedicated to the wiki. That being said, I share Rpeh's concern with the multiple saves, but I agree that this behavior would probably change if Willyhead sees the true insanity of being a Patroller. My only other concern is that other editors are often cleaning up Willyhead's edits (for things like grammar or clarity in syntax) and that these minor errors may be more difficult for other Patrollers to catch if Willyhead's edits are automatically marked as patrolled. Therefore, I do not oppose the nomination, but I can't fully support it either. --Eshe 16:37, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Personally, I don't feel that I can place faith in the edits that Willyhead would make as a patroller (as someone who literally spent hours proofreading and fixing his page Creating an Awesome Character, I'm fairly skeptic of his English skills; also look at the Guide to Destroying the Imperial City page for an example of what the first page would have looked like before the cleanup). Unfortunately, I'm going to have to see a large increase in this area before I can support a Patroller nomination. SubtleCynicism 18:20, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: While it's clear that Willyhead certainly has gained considerable experience and dedication to the Wiki, I still believe that his grammar skills are somewhat lacking. Most obvious is a constant misuse of commas and hyphens, as well as adding purple prose when editing articles. He also appears to use colloquialisms interchangeably with formal, objective language. This detracts severely from the encyclopedic tone and credibility of any article. I concur with SubtleCynicism; a considerable amount of improvement in these areas is desirable. --Saruuk 19:56, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
• Neutral: --Playjex 09:02, 14 September 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: If patrollers were only responsible for monitoring vandalism, Willyhead would easily qualify to be a patroller. But vandalism is only a small part of a patroller's job and it's also generally the easiest to deal with. The trickier edits are those that require fact-checking, spelling corrections, or grammatical revisions, and it's not evident that Willyhead would be able to help with patrolling those edits, at least not at this time. --Nephele^Talk 03:07, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Consensus

• Oppose --Ratwar 16:51, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

Saruuk

Reasons

Frankly, he/she has been doing the job anyhow, and doing a fairly decent job of it by my estimation. Can't think of any good reason why Saruuk shouldn't be a patroller, and it'd save the rest of us having to patrol all the many constructive edits he/she's been making. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 23:33, 1 September 2007 (EDT)

Votes

• Support: Per nomination. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 23:33, 1 September 2007 (EDT)
• Support: We knew he/she was going to be nominated eventually, and I certainly don't see any reason for Saruuk not to become a patroller. Saruuk knows his/her way around the English language, and has been more than fulfilling the duties required of a patroller on a daily basis. The only minor problem that I can see is the somewhat harsh tone that Saruuk takes in response to some users, but that's not anything that can't be dealt with at a later time. Support. SubtleCynicism 00:39, 2 September 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Assuming Saruuk accepts, I'd be delighted to welcome him to the team. He's doing a great job at the moment, and being an official patroller will only formalise what he's already doing. --Rpeh^Talk 03:19, 2 September 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Saruuk seems like good editor and seems to have the skills required to do the job. I have no objections to his/her nomination. --Saruuk 23:38, 2 September 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Well, I guess I've sort of already cast my vote in favor of this one, as can be seen on Saruuk's talk page. Though it would be great to see an increase in filling in edit summaries and a decrease in harshness, I still heartily support making Saruuk a patroller. --Eshe 00:33, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
• Support: I've said a few times that the best way to show that you're ready to be a patroller is to start doing the job, and Saruuk has definitely been doing that: cleaning up edits, double-checking facts, answering questions, etc. I think Saruuk would make a great patroller. --Nephele^Talk 14:00, 3 September 2007 (EDT)

SubtleCynicism

Reasons to Become a Patroller

Well, personally I would like to be a patroller because I really enjoy the UESP, and I want to help maintain the level of professionalism and quality that I've seen in the majority of the pages here. I don't like complimenting myself, either, but I'm a crazy person when it comes to spelling/punctuation/grammar and consistency.

Votes

• Support: I'm just coming down on the Support side. The reason for my hesitancy is the relatively low edit count. As I type, SubtleCynicism has just 133 edits, which would usually indicate that the user is a bit green. On the other hand, those have been 133 good edits, including a couple of reverts, which indicate the workings of the Recent Changes page are understood. Perhaps I'm being persuaded because the nickname chimes with my own runaway cynicism, but I think on balance, the patroller team would have another useful member with a Yay vote. --Rpeh^Talk 09:53, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
• Support: I'm hesitant to cast a positive vote only because of the relatively small number of edits you've made. But as far as I can tell you have met the requirements, and as Rpeh has already said, the small number edits you've made have been good ones. You've been helpful so far, you know what you're doing as far as grammar is concerned, you're receptive to suggestions, and you certainly seem interested in putting your skills to good use. As long as you continue this much-appreciated behavior, It would be great to have you on the team. --Eshe 17:23, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
• Support: It's obvious that SubtleCynicism has an aptitude for editing and rephrasing random edits. something that he demonstrates on a daily basis. This has become increasingly prevalent of late, when I've found myself browsing through the Recent Changes only to discover that virtually all the random edits have already been corrected by him. --Saruuk 01:12, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Although new to this wiki, SubtleCynicism has come on leaps and bounds and has learnt quickly (way faster than me!). He seems to understand the wiki well and I have not yet seen him perform any spelling mistakes. I have also realized that many of the patrollers have not been active for a while- all the more of a reason for SubtleCynisism to become one.--Willyhead 15:07, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Playjex

Reasons to Become a Patroller

I don't like nominating myself for anything, but I think I would make a good patroller though. It would be more interesting in my opinion. And I know I'm not a good speller Eshe. Thank You.

Votes

• Support: Playjex seems to have a shrewd understanding of the Wiki from what i've seen him do and so far I haven't seen him do any bad edits. I also understand that Playjex does not tollerate vandalism, so if he was to become a patroller he would be in a better position to counter it!--Willyhead 08:51, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Don't take it personally, but good spelling and grammar skills are just part of the job, and I haven't seen that in your edits. It takes more than just dedication. Your efforts are appreciated, and help is always welcome in dealing with vandalism, but you can deal with vandalism just as easily without being a Patroller. As a Patroller, your edits would automatically be marked as patrolled, which means we'd have to trust that your spelling and grammar and such are correct, which has just not been the case. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 12:45, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Just as Lurlock said, it isn't a question of how dedicated you are to the wiki. Everyone here appreciates the work you do. I just don't see how you being a Patroller would help either the Wiki or you. Please continue the helpful edits you have been working so diligently at. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 21:18, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: I appreciate all the work you've been doing so far. However, appart from what has already been said, I also think you should familiarise yourself with the site a bit more, e.g. the style, the use of templates and categories, etc. Keep up the good work and come back later. --DrPhoton 03:25, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: I said nearly a month ago (hasn't time flown!) that I'd nominate you myself if it wasn't for your spelling. After the good work you've been doing, I'll say that again but seriously this time. At the moment though, not only would your posts automatically be marked as patrolled but you might also mark the posts of others as patrolled without spotting spelling errors. Invest in a spill chucker and you'll be a patroller before you can say "revert"! --Rpeh^Talk 08:20, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: This isn't a decision that reflects whether or not you've been a valuable contributor to the site, Playjex. Because the work that you've been doing is definitely appreciated, from reverting vandalism to cleaning up Oblivion:Roleplaying, etc.; you clearly want to help improve the site. But I don't think you're ready yet to be a patroller, for all the reasons mentioned by everyone else. If you'd like to become a patroller in future, just keep trying to learn more about editing. One way to do that is to notice what types of fixes patrollers make to articles (in particular to edits that you've done): if you'd ever like more explanation of why a fix was needed, just ask! --Nephele^Talk 02:57, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Most Honored Listener/ Obliv4PS3

Reasons to Become a Patroller

Having read the requirements of becoming a patroller and what is expected of a patroller. Feeling as though for the most part I can patrol edits. I have a good understanding of what is expected and what conduct is acceptable in the UESP wiki. Being a forum moderator helps with allowing me to judge what is acceptable. While I can still preform my duty to the forums I would be honored to also help out by patrolling the new edits. I understand that some of my edits may have not been completely agreeable with but I am fully willing to work into agreement as these edits and discussions have served as a learning experience for my. Thank you for reading this.

Votes

• Oppose: You've been making some useful edits and it's great to see more people taking an active role on the site. The disagreements over edits are in the past so that's not a problem either as far as I'm concerned, but the standard of your English spelling and grammar leaves quite a bit to be desired. One of the most common functions of a patroller is to clean up the edits of others and I'm not sure you have the English skills necessary for that aspect of the job. I should emphasize this is a marginal decision - the good work you've done elsewhere almost tips the balance. A few more edits from yourself correcting the mistakes of others would turn me around. --Rpeh^Talk 04:50, 27 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Your experience in similar roles and useful edits are great (and please keep it up!) but, unfortunately, not good enough. Personally, I'll need to see a big improvement in your grammar skills before I can support your nomination. --Eshe 13:08, 27 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Basically, what I want to see from someone nominating themselves for Patroller status is that they have already been doing the job. It's simple: If you want to be a patroller, do it. You don't need a special status to patrol the wiki; just hang around the recent changes page and revert vandalism, fix grammar, fix broken links, etc. Another thing is that a patroller's edits are all automatically marked as patrolled, so to vote in support of a nominee, I would have to have faith that the nominee's edits would all be in need of no second-checking, whether grammar, links, or anything else. I can see you getting there, just keep at it a little while longer. And thanks for all the work you've been doing. Also, take a look at UESPWiki:Patrollers/Nominations/Completed to get an idea of what was taken into consideration when previous nominees were supported or opposed. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 17:52, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

Zoriak

Reasons to become a Patroller

I would love to become a Patroller, I always want to help with things. I've already found many broken links under the Oblivion Category and have corrected them(If that's not okay then sorry...). I hope I can be a Patroller, so thankyou for taking the time to read this. --Zoriak 21:56, 22 July 2007 (EDT)

Votes

• Oppose: I would strongly recommend that you read over the Nomination Guidelines because you really have't satisfied any of those guidelines. While you are welcome to continue to contribute to the site, and improve articles by fixing any problems you find, you need far more experience with editing UESPWiki before you could become a patroller. Furthermore, your tendency to create articles on non-existent subjects (Oblivion:Jenna_Zay', Oblivion:Imperial_Guard) or very redundant subjects (Oblivion:Daedric_Language) does not give me any confidence that you understand the site's purpose. If you would like to eventually become a patroller, you need to demonstrate that you know what is and what is not appropriate content for UESPWiki. --Nephele^Talk 23:52, 22 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: From your user page it looks like you've got a good grasp of wiki markup (nice sortable tables) but I think Nephele's right - you need to spend a bit more time on the site before going for patroller status. Try spending some time looking at the Recent Changes page and trying to spot the mistakes and bad edits that crop up. That's what patrollers do, after all. Also, read through the rest of the site and see if there are things that need improving. --Rpeh^Talk 13:52, 23 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: I agree with Nephele and Rpeh. You need to spend more time on the wiki to get a feel for how things work around here, especially for things like reading directions ;). Hang around, learn as much as you can, and apply again when you've met the requirements. --Eshe 14:16, 23 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: The majority of your edits seem to be to your userpage. I want to see more work on the wiki itself, more proof that you watch Recent Changes. Though, Rpeh has a point on the tables. I can teach you about patrolling, if you teach me tablework! Somercy 21:26, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
• Oppose: Ditto. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 17:48, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

Eshe

Reasons to become a Patroller

Having just become a patroller myself I often find spelling and grammar errors and go to correct them only to find that Eshe has got there first. In addition to many helpful patrolling edits, she is taking an active role in the Oblivion Places Redesign Project and has made a big impact there too. I'm aware she's only been on the site for a few days but during that time has already broken into the top 25 most active users and is clearly beginning to suffer from wiki-diction! --Rpeh^Talk 00:52, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

Votes

• Support: It would be a shame not to use her talents. Plus, if she were to become a patroller the vast number of edits she makes would automatically be marked as patrolled. A great boon for the rest of us! --Rpeh^Talk 00:52, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
• Support: I'll second everything Rpeh said! --Nephele^Talk 18:49, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
• Support: I dunno if my opinion is wanted, but for what it's worth, I thought Eshe already was a patroller. ^^ She seems perfect for it! --Kementari 19:13, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
• Support: If for no other reason than being the first one to catch the Plus-Sign Vandal more times than I care to count. Anyhow, More=Merrier as I've stated before. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 21:28, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

Rpeh

Reasons to become a Patroller

I had hoped to avoid doing this but over the last couple of weeks, during which I've been trying to stay on top of the Recent Changes list I've noticed the list of un-patrolled edits growing pretty large. It looks as though a few of the existing patrollers no longer edit the site, and those that do are simply overwhelmed by the number of changes. I'm offering my services to help fight what's rapidly becoming a rearguard action. I'm aware my early edits fell foul of the style guide, but in the last couple of weeks I've learned from the suggestions and methods of others and like to think I've made a positive difference to the site. I'm not going to be able to maintain the level of input I've been making, but will continue to be on the site several times a week. I feel I should also say that should I not be accepted as a patroller, I will of course continue to help out by making edits and monitoring the Recent Changes page. Unless you really think I've been making a mess!

Votes

• Support: We could definitely use some more patrollers. --Ratwar 21:21, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Rpeh's help with monitoring the recent changes so far has really been appreciated (not to mention all the other work he's been doing), so adding him officially to the team sounds like a great idea! I also think Rpeh's edits have always been high quality... I can only guess that by "falling foul" of the style guide he means American vs British spellings, which is an issue that has no bearing on quality of edits or commitment to improving the site. I agree with both Rpeh and Ratwar that we could use more active patrollers. Even if individual patrollers can only help intermittently or get distracted by other commitments occasionally, whatever time they can find for patrolling will always reduce the workload for everyone else. --Nephele^Talk 13:20, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
• Support: You've definitely shown some dedication to the site, and proven competance at dealing with the occasional troublemakers. I wish I had more time to help out myself as I used to, but real life has taken a bit of a toll lately. Anyhow, more eyes on the Recent Changes are always appreciated. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 21:28, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Jesus lover

Reasons to become a Patroller

I enjoy the Uesp and have been using it for about a year and a half now. I began editing about 2 months ago with the Control the Ordinators Detailed Walkthrough. I have gotten a lot of insperation from nephele just by seeing what she has done. I am a Mentor and i enjoy helping people. also, i have had skills helping people and giving them warnings before i went to a monitor and reported them when they have done wrong. I would like to keep a family freindly website in that no profanity or cyber bullying and i hate it when people continuously harrass someone and spam and other things that can hurt people. I have an outstanding love for people and want to help protect them. — Unsigned comment by Jesus lover (talk • contribs)

• Oppose: Jesus lover, I can see that you want to help out the site, but right now, you haven't even made 25 edits yet, plus almost have of your edits have been made to your own User and User Talk page. Make a few more edits, spend a little more time on the wiki, and then you might be a good candidate for being a patroller. --Ratwar 15:45, 28 May 2007 (EDT)

• Oppose: Ditto + need to improve your spelling/grammar a little bit as well. --DrPhoton 03:19, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

• Oppose: As above, plus, what do you mean by keeping this a "family friendly" website? I mean, that's not really the patroller's job, beyond removing inappropriate spam. Somercy 15:37, 29 May 2007 (EDT)

Lordsword 8

Reasons to become a Patroller

I'm asking to become a patroller because I want to help with the site more than I am. I currently check edits, and add my own, and am trying to reformat sections of the Tamriel namespace to the templates. I'm relatively new to editing, but have caught the bug, and just want to do even more. -Lordsword 8 13:52, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

• Support: Even though Lordsword has only been editing for a few weeks, I think I recognize the early symptoms of a wiki-diction :) I've already noticed him/her doing some patrolling, and the more eyes, the better! --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 21:01, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
• Support: Lordsword 8 has already been actively involved in monitoring recent edits. And he has shown that he can quickly pick up new details of wiki formatting, which I think makes up for only having four weeks of editing experience. (Sorry for not voting earlier, but it's been a somewhat hectic week!) --Nephele^Talk 00:01, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

Seercull

Reasons to become Patroller

I think i should become a patroller because i really like the elder scroll series and since i love oblivion and have done all the factions, including the shivering isles and the knights of the nine, i feel i can help out by adding on or editing pages, as i have already done. but overall i think it would be fun to be more involved in uesp and to make this site even more informative and accurate. — Unsigned comment by Seercull (talk • contribs)

• Oppose: I think any editor needs more than four days of experience on the wiki before becoming a Patroller, and Seercull needs to become more familiar with the site's Style Guide and with wiki Formatting. I don't want to discourage Seercull from monitoring the Recent Changes page. Every editor on the site can help out by checking the Recent Changes page whenever they want, and any contributions Seercull would like to make on the Recent Changes page (answering questions, reverting vandalism, checking facts, etc.) would be very welcome. Being a patroller is in no way necessary to be fully involved in the site: adding to and editing pages can be done by any logged-in editor, and patrollers do not have any extra abilities that help with editing pages. I don't think becoming a patroller will help Seercull with contributing to the site, nor will it help the site at this point in time. --Nephele 17:24, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

• Oppose: I agree with Nephele. I have no doubt that Seercull could become a great editor/Patroller in the future, but I am cleaning up behind him/her too much at this point to expect him/her to be able to perorm the functions expected of a Patroller. --GuildKnight (Talk) ^contribs 22:49, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

GuildKnight

Reasons to become Patroller

I'm requesting to become a Patroller because I believe my habits on the wiki fit the position well. I have been patrolling all quest pages via my watchlist for quite a while, and I've also been working on the pages that "need maintenance." What I focus on mostly is the quest pages, though I'm delving further in to page creation and layout. I tend to end up very interested in the Official Mods.

My first major project was the Knights of the Nine pages, and Nephele was a great help and inspiration there. I am very satisfied with the job the other editors and I did on those pages, and there are only a few details left to fill in on related pages.

What has been occupying my time recently was addressing all the Quest pages marked for "cleanup," and making sure they were all in Quest Format. With the help of the other editors, every quest page marked for cleanup has been cleaned up, and every quest page uses the proper quest format.

I take great pride in what the editors of UESP have accomplished, and I enjoy preserving the quality of the wiki.

• By the way, yes, it is "she" :)

• Support: In any case, I would definitely second nominating GuildKnight to be a patroller, and vote in support of it :) --Nephele 22:33, 4 March 2007 (EST)
• Support: Ah I actually read it that Patrollers had to be nominated by existing patrollers, or i would have Suggested Guildknight already. Jadrax 02:56, 5 March 2007 (EST) ;o)
  • We never really had a system in place for it. I think it's up to the existing patrollers to vote on nominations, but I see no problem with self-nomination. Anyhow, another Support from me. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 14:09, 5 March 2007 (EST)
• Neutral: Regarding GuildKnight's nomination, I don't know his edits well enough to vote in any direction, so my vote is neutral. --DrPhoton 03:52, 5 March 2007 (EST)
• Support: I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be good, and more Parollers is a good thing. --Ratwar 13:33, 5 March 2007 (EST)

JustTheBast

Reasons to become Patroller

The job description of a Patroller seems to be pretty much what I've been trying to do, since I came here - only without the helpful marking tool to tell me what still needs checking and what doesn't. Pretty please? -- JustTheBast 04:10, 5 March 2007 (EST)

• Support: I think making you a patroller would make sense, as well, if you log in ;o) Jadrax 04:16, 5 March 2007 (EST)

  Thanks. Man, Not only do I keep forgetting to sign my contributions to talk pages (my subconscious keeps saying "Hey, the author is tracked automatically"), now I'm so used to being always logged in from home, that I forget to do so from work. Jeez, I thought I wouldn't get senile until I'm a little older than this. -- JustTheBast 04:36, 5 March 2007 (EST)

• Support: I've noticed that JustTheBast is regularly helping out by catching and reverting vandalism, and answering questions that get asked on talk pages, and therefore seems like a perfect choice for a patroller. (And since the topic's been started, a couple other editors who are noticeably active at responding to recent changes and who I think would be good patrollers are Jadrax and Somercy, if either would be interested... hint, hint) --Nephele 12:05, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Somercy

Reasons to become Patroller

Another self-nomination, I guess. I often find myself on Recent Changes, doing little things like fixing vandalism and grammar issues. Either way, it's not like I'd stop if'n ya'll said no. Somercy 12:20, 5 March 2007 (EST)

• Support: Somercy makes a lot of helpful edits, and uses the Recent Changes Section. She's also got the speeling and grammar down, so I don't think anyone could be more qualified. --Ratwar 13:05, 5 March 2007 (EST)

• Support: I am not familiar with JustTheBast's contributions, but I support Somercy's nomination. --GuildKnight 22:30, 5 March 2007 (EST)
