Storm2
Hello there. I may not have been here for long, but I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring and see if it'll come out the other side, seeing that I am active on wiki.

As evidenced on Wikipedia (link to award of vandalism patrol, scroll down to the one with the atomic bomb), I have shown that I am easily capable with vandalism. Bearing in mind that the environment is more hectic over there and I coped fine, then the occasional outbreak of vandalism over here should be as easy as Pi.

Over my (short and potentially undoing) time here I have been making more than 500 edits, earning badges for some, as well as striving to improve the wiki, whether it be writing the House Robot Robot Histories or adding images to pages badly in need of them. I also correct typos, but images are my speciality.

As I said, I may not have been here for long, but I am so devoted to the wiki. If you feel that I am not worthy, then I will accept defeat gracefully, not with a song and dance about it.

Oh, if you're wondering what the link to Wikipedia is about, it's to show that I know what vandalism is and I know how to deal with it, though I have cleaned up some vandalism as an IP here in the past.-- STORM  II   22:11, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not gonna lie, I'm really in a difficult position here. Your work ethic I have no problems with, but you've ignored me every time I tell you to do something about your attitude.  I think it's especially brazen of you to post this only 2 weeks after your last incident.  Maybe that sort of thing is ok in a huge community like Wikipedia, but petty things like rudeness or sarcasm in the edit summaries can and has been a big problem for us.  Understand that I'm not trying to punish you, just send you a wake-up call  Neutral Leading Towards Oppose.  I think you can improve, but I need to see it before I grant you my trust.

 * I predicted before I read RA2's comment that he wouldn't support you, and I can certainly see his reasons for it. Although you have been an incredibly hard-working and valuable user here over the last few months, it is hard to ignore the occasions in which your attitude has been less than ideal. I can see that you have improved on that recently, but you'll have to prove that you have eradicated your tendencies to be somewhat rude and offensive before I can consider supporting you. Don't let this discourage you from applying again in the future, but positions of power on wikis should only go to users who are completely trusted to use them responsibly, and you have yet to fully prove that you can be trusted at this time. With that in mind, my vote is Weak Oppose. Christophee (talk) 00:57, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course, I did once block you for 7 days for your conduct, not long after RA2 banned you for 1 day. As it has been said, your intentions are good (considering how far this wiki has come) and benefit the site, while your attitude has improved recently. I'll go for Weak Support.

 * I do remember it, it was only May, but I tied putting it behind. As evidenced by three votes, all with different intentions, it kind of flopped. It'll be interesting to see what the next vote is...-- STORM  II   07:32, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * I was actually the first to see this yesterday, but I didn't post because I too was caught in two minds. The response of the other three admins has cleared my mind a little. While I cannot possibly doubt your commitment to the wiki, I can't help but feel that on occasion you have not acted in the best way, and have antagonised other users in the past. As with everything, this comes with time, and I would encourage you to apply again in the future, so my vote is Neutral, leaning towards Not Yet Matt (Talk) 10:59, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
