ManUCrazy (talk &bull; contribs &bull; edit count)
Hello. Following the resignation of Christophee, I have decided to open a request for promotion to become an Admin.

Over the past 9 months, I have been a fair, kind, and hugely committed user, having written over 40 competitor robot articles and making significant contributions to many more. Aside from what I have written myself, I have assisted the wiki with numerous Robot Wars video uploads. These show my willingness to provide information that would benefit this wiki, and my passion for the show which I followed since the very first episode.

As a wiki administrator, I would be able to give assistance and keep an eye on the new users. I would also help to keep away the vandals, spammers, etc by using any admin powers fairly, but appropriately.

I hope that other users consider my request, and give some feedback on my suitability for the role.

Thank You.

Strong Support - I was beginning to wonder about whether we could nominate people for this. You would have been the person I nominated. You're the best person for the job out there, good luck.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  06:50, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Strong support - Your edits to machines all around the world are amazing. Your edits to articles like Vader, Thor, Storm 2 and Drillzilla and article creations like Pressure, The Gap, $6 Million Mouse, Twisted Metal and Propeller-Head are superb. For your brilliant editing, you deserve administration.-- Deadbot uliza   (talk)  08:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Administration is not a reward, its a responsibility to be proven. I will be presenting my thoughts - good and areas of improvement - later on, once all the candidates have lodged their requests. I really hope more than one person applies.  TG    (t    c)  08:38, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Strong support Not really sure what to say, but I reckon that you proven yourself to be a great editer and fighter of vandalism. Too be short, I think you would be able to maintain great standards as an admin and you would be able to bring extra help to the current admins. Also I have decided not to put myself forward because Like TG and RA2, I have just entered the final term of the school, so I won't be able to do an admins duties particularly well at the current time.

I'm not going to say who I support until we know everybody who is applying, but I'm certain that you would make a great administrator. Your passion for and knowledge of Robot Wars is very clear to see and you've shown that you are quite competent in dealing with various admin tasks. Very good luck to you.

 * While I'm considering putting myself forward, I too am entering a critical schooling period. Plus, I have had limited time since December anyway. If TG wants more candidates, and no-one else steps forward, I will do so, but I think ManUCrazy is the ideal candidate for the job.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  12:57, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems I have chosen a bad time to step down. Maybe it would be a good idea if I continued in an acting role until our winning candidate is ready to take over full time. I'd be quite willing to do that if it would help. Christophee (talk) 13:01, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * You are all far exaggerating the stress of administration. My schooling period will never be so important in my lift, but remember, I'm still on every day before I start school, and once my work is done. The wiki is a perfect outlet for recreational work, and those entering a hard point in school, adminship is responsibility shared over 3 people, not something that immediately creates 5 hours of work a day. Llama and Helloher, I still reccomend nominating yourselves if that is your doubt, but I understand if you choose not to.  TG    (t    c)  21:55, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Strong support I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the amount of articles you have created and the ones that you have made major contributions to, I was amazed. If anyone on this wiki would make a great admin, it's you. Rammingspeed

Admin observations
For a start, I'm very impressed with both candidates, and I will probably remain undecided for a while yet. However, both RA2 and I are going to put our observations below.

Of our two candidates, you've been here longer, and are older. Your age indicates that you're probably free of other responsibilities like school. Also, you're a do-er, not a thinker. Thats exactly the type of person an admin should be, no "umm-ing" and "ah-ing". This is exactly proven in your posting of an RfP immediately, rather than waiting around until you can decide, like Helloher did. You were also the only user to counter the vandalism of you-kno-who. You have an unshakeable love of Robot Wars, because you have a fantastic Youtube channel, and the fact that your first ever edit was a badge only goes to show the quality of your work.

On the other hand, you have half the edits of Helloher, even if mainspace isn't that far apart. This is proven when I studied the Community Portal - in the last few months, you've posted there twice. An admin must take very active roles in this particular page.  TG    (t    c)  02:25, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, my turn to have at it. For those of you who just got here, I am writing this after having finished Helloher's, so if I reference it now and again, that's why.


 * Right off the bat I have to say, I was impressed with your RFA. Making promises is good, but when you can provide us with evidence of your devotion, other than mentioning your edits, it really enhances your argument.  Like Helloher, you were a fast starter, and a very promising newcomer, picking up on everything really easily.  Your instincts are sharp; you always seem to know what's best for the wiki without needing to be told.


 * I do have to agree with TG though, you'll need to make yourself available to weigh in on the issues, like those discussed in the community portal. Believe me, I was timid and took the backseat when I was a regular user, but I can't do that anymore as an admin.


 * Like I said with Helloher, I do not doubt your ability to handle the job, you too would get the job in a heartbeat if the other two candidates were out of the picture. Good luck to you and Helloher.  R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 04:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Am I allowed to put this here? Feel free to move it if you don't think my comments should be in the admin section. I'm not going to mention anything that TG and RA2 haven't already mentioned but I have made my mind up about who I would choose for the job if it was up to me. Of the two of you, I think you have shown yourself to be the best suited to the responsibilities of adminship (based on what TG said about being a "do-er" and your fights against vandalism) and your devotion to Robot Wars and the wiki is clear for everybody to see. If I was making the choice I would definitely choose you for the role, but we'll see what TG and RA2 say about it as they're the ones who will make the final decision.
