The Sims Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship

This is the page where formal requests for bureaucratship are recorded and archived. Bureaucrats are users who can add rollback, sysop and bureaucrat flags to other users, and remove rollback and sysop flags. On, all bureaucrats also hold a sysop flag.

Requirements
There are no concrete requirements for a user to be a bureaucrat, except that the user must already be an admin. However, bureaucrats will usually:
 * Be among the biggest contributors to the wiki
 * Be highly trusted by the community over a long period of time

Procedures

 * Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
 * Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of RfB and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
 * Users must have adminship to be able to be made a bureaucrat.

Stage 1: Nominating

 * 1) Users may nominate themselves or be nominated by another user for bureaucratship. The nominee then has to accept the nomination. Self-nominations must be supported by at least one other user who meets the minimum qualifications for nominating a bureaucrat, within one week of a nomination.
 * 2) Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same RfB)
 * 3) There will only be one request at a time. A decision will be made on the current request (change/no change) before the next request is considered.
 * 4) Bureaucrat candidates that are not given bureaucrat privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month.

Stage 2: Voting

 * 1) Users may vote in support, be neutral, or oppose the bureaucratship nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
 * 2) Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
 * 3) The vote will last for two weeks.
 * 4) At the end of the two weeks, a bureaucrat will determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that bureaucrat requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.

Nomination
I realize requests are closed, but I hope that you'll make an exception for a retiring bureaucrat and allow me to make this nomination.

Bleeh has been a very long-term member of this community, and has served as community director as well as chronic IRC chatter. Aside from this, she has served as a stellar administrator (both before and after her long-term absence) and an all-around wonderful, if not a bit colorful and Big Brother-obsessed, person. I can think of no current administrator more deserving of this position, and I think that it's about time that she gets it. Therefore, I would like to nominate Bleeh for the position of Bureaucrat for The Sims Wiki. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:12, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I'm flattered. :) I will accept the nomination. -- Bleeh (talk) (blog) 15:26, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Voting
Note: Struck out votes have been eliminated because they do not meet the voting requirements.
