KrytenKoro - And when you see me standing there, you'll know you've got a friend with a rock, I mean a big-ass rock. TALK - Okay, so right now our active staff is, in alphabetical order: Developer Porplemontage Bureaucrats None Administrators DoorToNothing KrytenKoro Neumannz Troisnyxetienne Ultima The High Seraph Moderators EternalNothingnessXIII maggosh ShardofTruth Xion4ever Obviously, we need to fill some empty spaces, especially due to the audit. Personally, I'd like to get us back up to having a full complement of active staff - fourteen (14), counting all but developer. So, two bureaucrats, eight admins, and four mods. This means we need to elect five new staff members, but also to promote at least two from administrator to bureaucrat. Based on past discussions, everybody seems to agree that administrators should have prior staff experience, so I think we can all agree to directly promote the current moderators to Administrator - I think we can all agree that they are, invariably, dedicated editors who should have been made admins long ago. With the two bureaucrats being promoted from administrators, this leaves: 2 bureaucrats (previously admins) 1 administrator (previously editor) 4 moderators (previously editors) I think we can run this like last time: We nominate various editors for hiring or promotion. You can place a vote for each empty position, so you have seven votes total. The current staff evaluates the top three bureaucrat nominations, top two administrator nominations, and top six moderator nominations, and promotes their selections. Because of how badly we need staff members to assist with the audit, I'd like this election to go very quickly - it should be over by Monday evening (wiki-midnight of Tuesday). If there are any objections to that plan, please create a discussion section to voice them; however, I think that everyone here knows each other well enough and is active enough that a short turnaround should not be a problem. So, here we go.

Nominations

Note: When you add new nominees, please place them in alphabetical order.

Bureaucrats

DoorToNothing (Contributions)

1. DoorToNothing...what to say? I think he's the only person on this wiki more dedicated to a professional veneer to this wiki than I am, and he even took the initiative to set up two new IRC channels for this wiki, so that we have both a noticeboard and somewhere to socialize. He also came up with the idea for the SEIWA in the first place, and has been leading the movement to get other SE wikis to join."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

Neumannz (Contributions)

1. Neumannz has been consistently dedicated to the wiki, and always produces quality edits. Furthermore, he is unfailingly polite and intelligent, and has even been leading the syncing and audit during this week, when I've been flaky. An excellent editor to be the face for the wiki."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:29, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Administrators

NinjaSheik (Contributions)

1. NinjaShiek - she's been here almost the longest of any of us, and why she isn't an administrator already I'll never understand. She is unfailingly the best vandal-warrior we have, and the best person to be given the tools to deal with them."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:29, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Moderators

LapisScarab (Contributions)

1. Like DTN has said before, LapisScarab has amazing work ethic, maintains every namespace, and has more edits than most of the old staff."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:29, 15 February 2011 (EST)
2. Looong overdue. Chitalian8 19:06, 17 February 2011 (EST)

LevL (Contributions)

1. LevL has maintained activity, and has done excellent work in maintenance edits. In particular, his mostly single-handed drive to remove the capitalization from non-starting words in headers, something which meant correcting virtually every page, was extraordinary."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

Randomnessity (Contributions)

1. Random was the driving force of our Days Mission articles, and also did excellent gnoming work. A superb editor."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:29, 15 February 2011 (EST)

SilverCrono (Contributions)

1. SilverCrono has been dedicated to fixing the "hidden side" of the wiki - cleaning up redirects and double redirects, making minor corrections to pages to get them in the proper format, and otherwise doing the work that most people don't even realize needs doing."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."
