[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Become a Sysop

A Wikiproject for sharing tips for becoming an admin. OK. Delete. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, unless their already is one. Not sure of nominator's approval when he said OK. -- Eddie 17:50, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
    It was one of those sarcastic "OK"s, I'm afraid. I was rendered speechless by the inappropriateness of such a WikiProject. We're trying to build an encyclopedia, not form a become-an-admin club. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - This will almost certainly descend into a group which campaigns to get each of their candidates through the RfA process. While I agree that RfA is broken, I don't agree that pushing people through it by diluting consensus is the way to fix it. If I may be so bold...the people that usually participate in these types of ventures are typically those who are unsuitable for adminship in some way, usually through a lack of understanding of how we do things.

  • :From the talk page: I think we need a place where Sysops can share there success stories so then people interested can follow the examples described on these stories
  • :That settles it for me, even further than before. Rob Church Talk 19:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Userfy for now. On second thoughts, I don't think anyone was acting out of bad faith here, and I would love to see a combined mentorship and preparation area for people who want to hold the reins. We've got to face that some new admins coming out of RfA are a bit too green. I think, with the right title and attitude, a holding area for resources on what we want in our admins, and what admins need to be able to do, plus a little informal mentorship for some new and eager users, would be infinitely more useful.

  • Delete, pursuing adminship for its own sake is an almost certain guarantee that you won't get it. Radiant_>|< 18:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm sure nobody would pursue a promotion "for its own sake" at there job, but people who strive shouldn't have to wait until someone offers it. -- Eddie 20:15, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete per Rob Church. WP is NOT a political venue (at least of the "politics for its own sake variety.) Xoloz 19:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. — Dan | talk 20:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to IRC CVU WP:GRFA I suppose not. Delete. —Cryptic (talk) 20:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and Rob. Sarah Ewart 23:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, per nom NSLE (T+C+CVU) 00:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this cruft. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 01:25, Dec. 31, 2005
  • Userfy This could have potential to be something helpful one day, perhaps as a pre-rfa area, but should be developed out of WP space. xaosflux Talk/CVU 01:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    User:EddieSegoura/Ideas/Becoming a Sysop, sigh NSLE (T+C+CVU) 01:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Sort of forkish, and admin-ship isn't a goal to such an extent that we need a project for it. WP:GRFA is even going a little too far in that direction. Rx StrangeLove 01:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete --HappyCamper 06:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Write-off. I see a couple of Userfy votes and I have agreed to do that. I'm writing off the main page and expect it to be deleted soon. Sorry if it offended anyone. -- Eddie 00:17, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
