 * I can't see why you can't help out in your current state. You can still add information in your current state. Besides, we already have 3 sysops and this is a pretty small wiki as of yet. I don't see why we would need more now. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 22:46, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * On that note, I think that as soon as we start requiring for administrators we should consider Wug. -- Tiktaalik 00:59, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * True, he is one of the most active and helpful non-sysop members, if not THE. But we're not that crowded that you, tesla Gboyers and me can't handle it. When we need another admin, you'll probably have the highest chances. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 08:20, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Now I know I've just really started helping out the wiki lately, but I just wanted to throw my name in here because I'll be making a lot of changes and edits to help make this a very good wiki. I know I'm not in the running to become an admin right now, but just watch me and see how much I do. This is one of my favourite games and I plan on getting the platinum trophy, so I will know lots and be able to contribute tons of info. Thanks! --Juicestain09 08:05, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

We currently have a lot of new admins, and you need to gain some experience first, since this is the first wiki you've ever edited. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 18:59, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

I love red dead wiki and use it alot, i am playin alot of red dead and want to contribiute

You will have to prove yourself before you can apply for adminship, and stick to the rules. We'll see later. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 18:57, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell, you haven't really proven yourself in any way, with regards to editing. Nor do you have any former admin experience to show. I'll have to say no. -=KAG=-The VaultNO 15:59, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Reason for applying for this position and other relevant information. Carlos &#39;quickdraw&#39; burritos 13:51, June 2, 2010 (UTC) i have just joined today but iam willing to spend time on wikia.


 * I definitely appreciate your interest in the position, but at this time I will have to decline the request. Firstly, we currently have a full and very active group of administrators. You're still very new to the wikia and your capabilities and dedication are yet to be demonstrated. That being said, there is still a lot you can do to contribute to the Red Dead Wiki as an editor. Thanks for the interest -- Tiktaalik 14:55, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

I am very active on the wikia and have made many edits on various articles. If i am accepted i will be an even more active member and help the community in as many ways as i can. Bumfree 22:45, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would agree that you are very active, and have shown good competence on the wiki, Bumfree. Unfortunately, the team is pretty full right now and is managing well. In the event that a space opens up, I think you will be considered a very strong candidate. Thanks for your interest in the position! Cheers -- Tiktaalik 22:34, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

I really enjoy editing. I am the editor of the school paper and am an avid Red Dead player. I have one of the largest posses in the game, desert fox, currently having 13 members. I have enjoyed using this wiki and hope that i can contribute more. I know i had a minor ban earlier on. however, i did not recieve my warning message until it was too late for me to stop posting pictures of the guns. I really was adding them to help people see the similarities of the game and real life. I hope that i can help be an admin on this wiki. I know you have mentioned how you have a pretty strong team as it is, however, the more administrators there are, the more likely this wiki can be well kept up and maintained. I think that if there are more trustworthy administrators, the standards of this wiki can be maintained, or even improved. I really hope i can be a contributor to the team as an administrator!

Thanks!

 * Prey, let me start off by saying that I totally agree that the documented warning you received was definitely done to be pragmatic and was not a punishment. As far as I am concerned, that won't be an obstacle. Unfortunately, I caught you removing content from your talk page earlier. This is a violation of the Red Dead Wiki rules, and although you only received a warning, it also demonstrates that you're not fully aware of the rules. That being said, I think it would be premature to give you administration rights. You definitely made some sound arguments, and this current declined request does not rule it out in the future. Keep contribution positively to building the wiki and you're definitely on track when we make considerations. Cheers -- Tiktaalik 01:57, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks man! I appreciate the thorough response that you gave me, i know there is still a lot i can work on.

I have done an amount of anti-vandal work. I am also fairly know around the wiki. The hours that I edit(early morning) contain a large amount of vandals, with hardly any admins. I feel that if a vandal is doing its thing and there are no admins around what can I do to stop him except warn it. I contribute to the organization of the wiki, like keeping things in the correct sections. I feel that if I were an admin that I could do more to help. Blinzy45 11:17, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Edit-wise, you haven't done very much on the RD:W Most of our spots are currently full, and we are actually looking for more experienced admins that have experience dealing with vandalism on other sites, or that have otherwise proven themselves to be very active editors. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 11:48, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will be back eventually after I heed your advice. Blinzy45 11:54, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

I believe id make a good admin because im on regulary, i know alot about this game so will know when information is accurate

You have made exactly 37 edits on this wiki. We already have quite a bunch of admins. We're more looking for an experienced admin. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 18:35, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Accepted - CoD addict
I believe I qualify for administrative position because I am online a lot, I am friendly towards other users, and have helped both many mainspace articles and other users. I have warned about 20 vandals, and most of them could not be blocked because there had been no administrators online. With my dedication to the wiki and the hours I'm online, I believe that with administrative capabilities I can combat vandalism and help the wiki to the best of my abilities. Thanks, -- CoD addict · (talk) 04:40, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

You make a good point, asides, I've seen your work on other wiki's and you'd be a good administrator. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 13:32, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

I would love the chance to become an Administrator on the Red Dead Wiki. I frequently use the site, but unfortunately I occasionally forget to log in. Can I help you existing Administrators improve this site even further? I know my edit history is far from well-established, but still. I would like to continue making edits to the site and will do so even if rejected and thrown away like last week's newspaper.

Mernimbler 19:44, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but there are a lot of other, more experienced users applying for adminship here at the moment. You might be a candidate in the future, if you keep up editing. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 09:47, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Accepted - Blaff 60
I'm active here as always and helped here a lot before and after the game was released. I believe that I may become a good admin, but if I'm declined for the promotion, it's ok for me. I'm always here and contribute many pages in this wiki, I also fight against vandalism and protect pages if i may become an admin.--Blaff 60 20:13, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

You've done good work on this wiki, and you indeed deserve to become an admin. Congratulations. Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 09:47, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Accepted - JackFrost23
Well, I'll go ahead and throw my hat in since I'm here every day anyway and I've been keeping an eye out for vandalism and the like as a default.

I have contributed several pages, many, many pictures and even took the time to code the mission flow on the mission pages (that took me some time, I'll tell ya). Oh, and I forgot that I streamlined all of the mission walkthrough pages, too...

However, I also know that I'm not well-liked, so it wouldn't surprise me if I were to be declined.

Cheers!

 * I, Crowbar, endorse this message. Let me tell you, this guy is so helpful, I actually thought he was an admin, and now that I know he's not, he definately should be. --Crowbar, resident grammar ninja 15:43, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I have recently notice an increase in trolls/spammers/vandals, however, these, along with pointless pages have become something of a nuisance, I know I have not been a member of this wiki very long, but I do care a lot about the quality of the Red Dead Wiki. It tears at my heart to see vandals do things that I can only revert, but not damage at the source. I believe I would be a fair admin, and that I could clean up some of the more suspicious members of the wiki, along with their hideouts. Thank you. --User:Crowbar

If it would help to see my contributions at the Left 4 Dead wikia, you may do so here

Also, I would like to mention that I have been warning vandals/trolls, and reporting them to admins when they ignore the warnings. Such vandals and trolls include a "BK-Bronco"and some unregistered users, I am also almost always on my laptop and nearly always have recent changes open in a tab.--Crowbar, resident grammar ninja 18:48, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

You seem like an experienced user, and that is a handy thing to have. I think you indeed qualify for being an admin, and your other given reasons all make sense, especially with the vandals, atm. Congratulations! Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 09:47, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Matt of the wastes
Hi Matt of the wastes here. I have noticed alot of vandalism lately and nothing is being done about it! I can change that. I have knowledge of Red Dead Redemption/Revolver and have achieved 100% completion. If you make me an admin, I can help stop those dirty rotten vandals in their tracks.

-Blodymaryman
Ya I'd like to help out on the wiki since my computer started working. Also I am interested a bit in adding pictures to pages. I am also ranked #21 on the wiki. Blodymaryman 23:06, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Annonnimus
Well, I don't need to be an admin, I'm perfectly fine with just having rollback, but I see many admin tasks not being performed on regular basis i.e, looking over problem reports, deleting articles nominated for deletion and enforcing some rules and policies (other then blocking people). Other things that need to be done: All posse pages need to be checked if they aren't in violation of our policies, blog posts need to be checked for unneeded categories and there's a lot of them.

Qualifications
 * I'm a bureaucrat here as well as a couple other wikis, have rollback here (they have enough admins so I never bothered applying for adminship)
 * My edit count
 * Although I haven't edited "a lot" lately, I'm constantly patrolling the recent changes for vandalism and 'bad edits' and checking special pages for articles that need maintenance.
 * Also I know all the policies pretty well.

Something to consider
 * I have only edits on this wiki.
 * Active for 3 months (minus a month when when I was in the "ass-end of the world")
 * I've played Red Dead Redemption for only one day (Red Ring of Death)

This decision is entirely up to you guys, I don't mind if the request is declined, the only question is, whether this wiki needs another admin, to perform regular maintenance.

Thank you --Anon talk 18:46, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm impressed with the quality of your edits. I believe that giving you admin rights would only benefit the wiki, not detriment to it. Welcome to the team. TNT Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 10:05, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

EmceeGrath
Hey folks,

I've been active here for a little while now and have amassed a reasonable 200 or so edits in the short time since I joined. At the moment editing is actually my real-life job. The primary reason for my request is that (as the problem reports log reflects) I seem to have an uncanny knack for running into bad pages (vandal pages, joke pages, duplicate pages, pages that need renaming, etc) and vandalism. I'm happy to deal with problem reports and other policy issues as they come up, and some of our admins seem hard-pressed at times, so more hands may make lighter work of things. Either way, I am happy to continue handling problems with pages and continue making contributions to the wiki, as RDR really is my favorite game.

Hello administration
Dear administration,

I have been playing the red dead series for a while now, And been playing red dead redemption since the day it came out. At first i really didn't get the story or gameplay. When i got to the end of the game i decided to play it again and follow deeper and deeper into the story, characters, hunting, ect... And then i got so into it that i haven't stopped playing it. Now its just online for me and nothing else. I also have all the addons for RDR, I am just awaiting for the undead nightmare pack so i can go back to single player again. I have been using this website for a while now, And it helped me to reach 100% in game stat. I will still be using this website for a long time, and i will gladly help out if you need me.

Best regards,

Brandon. (AKA) rockgod3221


 * However much I appreciate your gesture to help out, we already have a number of admins, skilled at their work, appointed. You have exactly 12 edits on this wiki. I'd very much like for you to gain some experience "in the field" and try again later, if you wish to become an administrator.
