Halo Fanon:Administrative Evaluation/2013

Halo Fanon &gt; Administrative Evaluation &gt; 2013

Discharge (7/2)

 * 1) LOMI has been, for the past five years, an excellent administrator, and one of my fellow bureaucrats for the past two who I have had a great pleasure working with. However, due to a combination of his inactivity, self-declared lack of motivation to write about Halo, and his recurring mentions of contemplating retirement, I think it's time to let him go.
 * 2) Per inactivity and lax recent contribution to the wiki.
 * 3) As per the above.
 * 4) Unfortunately, as per above.
 * 5) Sad to see his reign end, especially since he and his articles have been something I've looked up to and wanted to be worthy of since I came to the wiki. But just because he may not be an administrator any longer doesn't mean he's not leaving completely! His lack of motivation to write about Halo means that! Wait, now I'm sad. That Damn Sniper 08:07, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) As per the above.
 * 7) I like LOMI, I really do. The few times he's on the Irk he acts like a really cool guy, but I can't base my vote on likes or dislikes, and unfortunately, he simply isn't active, which is why it pains me to vote this way. Lieutenant Davis

Sustain (10/2)

 * 1) Per continued activity and contribution on the wiki.
 * 2) Certainly the most active admin on the site, if not the most active user overall.
 * 3) Like I would really vote to discharge the most active and proficient administrator of Halo Fanon. Really Sona? Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 05:33, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Effective, most active and proficient administrative figure on Halo Fanon.
 * 5) What even needs saying? Hmm, could quote the Reach Beta Vidoc. "He's juggling f****** plates." Good Articles, Fanon of the Month, Survival of the Fittest. That Damn Sniper 08:10, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) One of the best administrators to ever grace the community.  Joshua  (Talk)  (Contribs) 17:37, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) Definitely the most active out of all of us, and very resourceful. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) I concur with everything said by those above me.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 18:32, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 9) Easily the most active admin on the site, particularly in regard to admin duties and community overwatch.
 * 10) I honestly don't think there is more to be said here. Lieutenant Davis

Sustain (11/3)

 * 1) As the currently senior active admin, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Ajax is still around and willing to be part of the wiki. His recourse in activity in the last couple of years as well as his significant improvement in conduct wins my support.
 * 2) Per continued activity and contribution on the wiki.
 * 3) As I have said before, Halo Fanon would be lessened without its resident Cthulu. That said, 13 remains a highly active and proficient administrator; I see every indication that he would continue as such for the foreseeable future. Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 05:28, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Ajax still remains as a consistent contributor and a capable admin.
 * 5) As above, what would we be without the face of the cabal.
 * 6) Personal thoughts of him aside, what would the wiki be without its resident crazy knave-hunter? Probably full of sunshine and bunnies. Silliness aside he's an efficient admin who is thoroughly dedicated to weeding out non-canon friendliness and any would-be belligerents who come across the site.
 * 7) Absolutely. While we've almost all at one time or another had our personal issues with him, he's got the grit to have it out with stubborn new users about NCF articles and see it through until either the problem's corrected or namespaced. His dedication to that certainly frustrating tasks makes this an easy call for me. That Damn Sniper 08:05, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) Although we've had our rough moments, Ajax is definitely a dedicated member of the team. Plus, even though he's mellowed some over the years (trust me, newbies; it happened), he's still just as useful in the NCF-pounding department. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 9) I concur.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 18:29, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 10) As per the above.
 * 11) While Ajax and I haven't had the best relationship, and I don't always agree with how he does things, I admit that he is efficient, brutally so. Lieutenant Davis

Sustain (2/0)

 * 1) Even though I'm not exactly the biggest fan of AR (though I can't say that I dislike him either), he is undoubtedly still more than responsible enough to maintain his position as admin. And although he may not do much writing his own anymore, he still seems to keep tabs on things as much as possible, and tries his best to remain actively involved with the community. As long as his deployment doesn't interfere with his activity any more than it has in the past, I see little reason to revoke his administrative privileges.
 * 2) AR is qualified and does quality work. Administrative responsibilities appear to be in order. Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 05:23, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Discharge (7/2)

 * 1) If I'm to be perfectly unbiased, I would say that AR has been (and may always be) Halo Fanon's most rational user to have served on the administration. But since he is currently devoting most of his time to military service in the Republic of Korea, I reluctantly deem his on-and-off appearances to be unsuitable for administrative duties.
 * 2) While he carried out his duties very well in the past, AR simply isn't around often any more. I understand that he cannot be on the site all the time for obvious reasons, but as mentioned above his sparse visits make him unsuitable for the job as an administrator.
 * 3) As per reasons above, though it is a shame indeed.
 * 4) Can't say I've had many dealings with AR, though he seems pleasant enough on the IRC. But, that his last edit was in August speaks for itself. Regardless of reason for not having the time, an admin should be someone who does have that time to devote to the betterment of the wiki, and makes use of said time. That Damn Sniper 08:31, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) I love AR, I really do. But sadly, he's not here. I would be perfectly acceptable with leaving op flags on the IRC for him, but on the wiki itself, I think his administrative time has passed. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) Unfortunately, sporadic activity on the irk does not translate to activity on the site.
 * 7) While I respect AR for being an admin here and serving in the military, he only seems to appear on the Irk, which does not translate into wiki activity, and even though we haven't talked much, it makes me sad to have to vote this way. Lieutenant Davis

Sustain (2/0)

 * 1) Competent, trustworthy, and capable. Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 05:24, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) As with Leo, this is a hard call for me to make. It is true that Maslab's activity on-site has been sporadic of late. Nevertheless, I think there remains a chance that he will become active once again and should retain his position.

Discharge (8/3)

 * 1) This is a really tough one for me, since Maslab has been one of my closest long-time writing partners on Halo Fanon. When he was first elected as administrator in 2010, I can wholeheartedly say that he had done well with the position. But after one, then two, now three years and he has demonstrated a consistent lack of willingness and/or time to even be somewhat active, let alone carry out administrative duties, I'm afraid I'm going to vote him off.
 * 2) This is fairly tough for me as well. Even though I haven't known him that much for anywhere near as long as Sona has, I enjoy chatting with him on the IRC and find him to be an intelligent and generally very likable individual. But ultimately, I'm here to vote for what I believe would be most beneficial to the wiki, and playing favorites would be a disservice to this site and its users. Based on Maslab's infrequent activity as of late, as well as accounts of difficulty in getting him to perform his administrative duties, it is with a rather heavy heart that I must advocate for the removal of Maslab's administrative privileges.
 * 3) As per above, while I often see Maslab around on the IRC he is generally inactive on the wiki itself from what I've seen and does little in the way of administrative duties. As such, I'm afraid that I cannot advocate his sustained adminship.
 * 4) While I am hardly one to be talking about activity, it is unfortunately undeniable that Maslab's activity has dwindled to a small handful of edits monthly. His conduct as an administrator is fine, he's a friendly guy, and the feedback he gives is helpful; however this evaluation of the Administration does expect us to make a call regarding the overall conduct of the administrator in their duties, and the biggest factor in my decision is the lack of willingness or time to perform administrative duties on this wikia. As such, it pains me to be unable to continue to support Maslab's adminship.
 * 5) Maslab's on the IRC pretty consistently, but it's that consistent activity that makes me vote in favor of dismissal. If he has been here all along, why wasn't he able to step up and take a workload off of Sona's shoulders with GA or FotM while Survival of the Fittest was running? I could be wrong, but it comes off to me like disinterest in the wiki projects, which in an admin is undesirable. That Damn Sniper 08:27, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) I concur with those above me.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 17:34, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) While a good guy, I have to say that I've never trusted Maslab's administrative capabilities. True, he had his moments, and they were good ones, but he's been mostly inactive for the past several years (as far as I've seen). -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) Oh boy, this is the hard one. Out of all the admins, I have to say that this is the one I was looking forward to the least, but alas, it has to be done. Maslab is a good person, and in the day a great admin, but in recent times that activity, both administrative and general wiki activity, has become extremely lax. I'm very saddened because Maslab was one of the writers that I looked up too when I first joined the site, but unfortunately I have to put the wiki first. Lieutenant Davis

Sustain (4/0)

 * 1) While Leo does have spates of inactivity, I do feel that when he is around he at least makes the effort to carry out his administrative duties and does so competently. and deserves to stay on.
 * 2) Though his cleanups are far between, they are more activity in carrying out administrative responsibilities than some admins have done. This one was a hard decision to make, as I'm not terribly familiar with Leo, but I should say I'm not counting that last-minute clearing of the deletion category towards my call. That Damn Sniper 08:49, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) As per the others, though this was a very hard choice for me to make.
 * 4) As said by all above me, even though Leo does have his periods of inactivity, when he is active, he seems to be working well as an administrator.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 17:42, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

Discharge (4/2)

 * 1) Ever since Leo has moved to New Zealand in late 2011, his activity levels have dropped significantly and never picked itself back up since then. My numerous attempts to encourage him to be more active have proven to be fruitless, and if I must be frank, his occasional handfuls of cleanup isn't enough to even the scales.
 * 2) Per inactivity and lax recent contribution to the wiki.
 * 3) Per Sona, not done enough and his interactions with the community, while having improved, still fall below what is expected of an administrator. <font color="#7F007F"> Joshua <font color="#7F007F"> (Talk) <font color="#7F007F"> (Contribs) 17:40, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) As Sona spake. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  <font color=#777777>The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Sustain (11/3)

 * 1) While Athena32 has a lot of his time occupied with military service and his writing levels have gone down, he appears regularly on the IRC and is usually present when needed. And as a member of the Good Article panel, he has shown sufficient commitment to read through the nominated articles, some of which are quite long. While I can't say I'm remarkably pleased with his contribution as an administrator, he will get a pass from me for the time being.
 * 2) Per continued activity and contribution on the wiki.
 * 3) Without hesitation. <font color="#4682B4">Auguststorm1945 (<font color="#4682B4">Talk ) 05:20, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) As per above, there's not much more that hasn't been said already.
 * 5) Athena32 has continued to be an active member of the administration, preforming his duties admirably and professionally. He has my full support.
 * 6) He's kept up his part as a judge in the GA panel, despite the occupation. I'd certainly like to see more things from him in official capacities, however. That Damn Sniper 08:39, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) Like Sona, there aren't enough superlatives for Matt and the work he has done for the community. <font color="#7F007F"> Joshua <font color="#7F007F"> (Talk) <font color="#7F007F"> (Contribs) 17:40, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) Athena has always done well, but he's really shone in the past year. Much support, especially since I still don't understand how he manages military, uni and the wiki/IRC -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  <font color=#777777>The Lost Books 18:02, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * 9) As per the above.
 * 10) This is one of the easier ones to vote for. It's obvious that Athena is fit to be an administrator, after juggling the wiki, military, and school, and still managing to work efficiently in it earns him my vote. Lieutenant Davis
 * 11) As per what has been stated above me.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 17:39, November 2, 2013 (UTC)
