Age of Empires Series Wiki:Requests for permissions

This is the Age of Empire Wiki's requests for permissions page where any user may request any user right or nominate other users to the desired position.

While being promoted to any position may seem "fun" or "cool", you should consider whether or not you actually have a use for these rights before filing a request. If you are a new editor, you most likely do not have a full understanding of how things are done here, and filing a request for any right or nominating other users would most likely be rejected. Receiving these rights requires a significant time commitment, and other users may ask relevant questions to the candidate at their discretion. Users with rights should be active users on the Age of Empires Wiki who spend lots of time tagging questions for deletion, reporting vandals, performing routine maintenance and other tasks that any user with rights make easier to do.

Requests made on this page are accomplished through community consensus to determine whether or not this user would be a suitable candidate for any user right. All requests can last for at least a week and up to one month. Common topics to be discussed includes the candidate's activity, number of edits made, quality of contributions and block history of that user. Make sure to insert your signature after inserting your description. If there is consensus to promote at the end of that time, then the candidate will be assigned the requested rights.

To file a request, copy the following code and paste it under the "Current Requests and Nominations" header, above any existing requests. This is a discussion page, so make sure to include your signature by typing four tildes ~~~~ after you insert each comment.

Example

Should Example be promoted to Example?

I would like to nominate Example to content moderator since this user has been improving content related to Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology for the past several months now. This user has displayed interest in being more active in the near future in light of recent attacks from sockpuppets and vandals. Having the ability to delete and protect pages would help minimize collateral damage. Therefore, Example should be a content moderator. Another Example (talk) 04:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

1. Example had been blocked for 3 days as a result of counter productive edit warring. Why should others trust Example as a moderator if this user does not have a clean block record? More Examples (talk) 04:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

This block was a mistake and has been removed. Example reverted the edit of someone more than 3 times due to insertion of inaccurate information. You should've paid closer attention to Example's block history. Even More Examples (talk) 04:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

Support

1. In addition to exceeding 500 edits within a span of one month, Example has uploaded many high quality images related to the topic of each article. Example has expressed concern in the overload of poor quality images and would like the ability to delete them instead of contacting an admin to delete these images. Therefore, Example should be a content moderator. Even More Examples (talk) 04:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Example has wrongly accused others for sockpuppetry before and has been rude to them. Consider A Random User who had been active for 3 months but has quit contributing several weeks ago as a result of Example's attacks and rude comments. Why should we trust users like Example who does not respect other users and does not assume good faith? More Examples (talk) 04:31, September 5, 2017 (UTC)

Current Requests and Nominations

Should Morayus1 be promoted to Moderator?

Lately the Age of Empires wikia has been under attack from many vandals, and non-Users that have been editing, and creating pages for either no reason, or for the purpose of making random pages that have no use. The moderators have been asleep in this issue, or have been inactive entirely during this façade, and I wish to change that. Morayus1/XLightningStormL/Steelion69 (talk) 02:28, August 7, 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

1. General Note: This request is long overdue. If no one is willing to provide additional feedback, Morayus1 will be promoted to Moderator in the next several days.

Support

1. Yes, he has been in the wiki for a long time. He was one of the first users who helped me out on my first account IndusValley2. At the time, he gave me advice on the Ozarks page and I believe he has the potential. There have been a lack of very active discussion content moderators beside Kran96. Morayus1 definitely needs to step up a level, he learned a lot from his years here. There were previous times where they were rejected except, he has accumulated 800 edits. This is good and he has helped remove vandalizing issues. I most definitely support him as he helped me learn this wiki. Not only that. but Kran is interested in being admin. The inactive admins such BoazMoerman, LeeUnit92, and others have not edited and once they are removed. He can take the place. Balochistan
2. Morayus1 is one of the oldest non admin users on the wiki that is still active. Since 2015, Morayus has increasingly become more active as the years go by and has made important contributions on Age of Mythology pages as well as sporadic editing on pages about other game series. This makes Morayus a well rounded editor, knowing enough about every game to differentiate between true or false information. Morayus has also made good use of the Rollback tool and undoing vandalism since April 2015. Additionally, Morayus edits from Australia, meaning that the user likely edits at a time zone when most of the admins & moderators are off wiki. As a result, I'm certain that Morayus1 will make good use of the deletion tools when the time is right.   X~Calibur95   Lets go to Facebook!   19:02,9/7/2017  

Should Nick3069 be promoted to Moderator?

I, X~Calibur95, would like to nominate Nick3069 as a Moderator for this wiki. Nick's edit count might not be that impressive, but has good attention to detail, almost equivalent to that of an admin. Rather than making a mass of small edits all over the place, Nick's contributions focuses on quality rather than quantity. Nick has contributed in this wiki since 2014, but has been increasingly become more active since the beginning of 2017. Nick has made important contributions in updating the Age of Mythology pages as well as uploading images of high quality related to the topic of interest not limited to just Age of Mythology pages. As a matter of fact, it is thanks to Nick & Elpistachio that most of the Age of Mythology pages have been created & updated, eliminating the red links which were previously considered a sore thumb ever since the oldest active editors left almost a decade ago.

Most importantly, Nick has an uncanny ability in uploading high quality images relevant to the topic which not all of us have here. Additionally, Nick has expressed interest in performing quality control over our images, which is currently lacking as of this post. Nick is also a patient user, often avoiding drama & conflict. Rather than engaging in heated debates, Nick always provides useful advice to other fellow editors such as here & here, even when some users have a conflict with Nick as indicated on the talk page. I think this nomination is long overdue & I firmly believe that Nick is more than ready to become a next Moderator for this wiki.

1. Strong support as nominator.   X~Calibur95   Lets go to Facebook!   03:57,9/8/2017  
2. Nick is an active and helpful editor here who makes qualified edits. I especially like his focus on high-quality images; I also think a lot of images that are uploaded could be taken more carefully. MasterBroccoli (talk) 13:27, September 8, 2017 (UTC)
3. Support. I'm impressed by User:Nick3069's ability to remain patient and civil during disagreements, and I agree with him that the wiki would benefit if he had the ability to delete duplicated or unused images.Narve (talk) 20:07, September 8, 2017 (UTC)
