{{User|Shane}} – Shane has been a tireless contributor since he began actively editing mid-march. One of his first projects was also one of his most ambitious, and the [[Battlestar Wiki:Main page|Main Page redesign]] effort is also one of his most visible successes. (You can't miss it.) An offshoot of the main page redesign was the [[Battlestar Wiki:Portals|Portals project]], which has yielded some interesting navigation pages that continue to be updated. Shane is unquestionably energetic, amassing [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Special:Editcount/Shane over five thousand edits] in areas ranging from the Main space, the Battlestar Wiki space (working on policy pages), and also the template space (fixing existing templates as well as creating new templates for everybody's benefit). Shane collaborated with Mercifull (and others) to provide color to the project pages with unique icons, and has been a driving force behind the featured content pages (both [[BW:FA]] and [[BW:FP]]). Most of Shane's conflicts arise from his tendency to [[BW:BOLD|boldly]] forge ahead, blazing the trail (and ruffling some feathers). Shane has improved in this regard, and even his user page has received an extensive overhaul with an up to date listing of the different projects and tasks that his is working on or planning. With regards to the number of administrators, while the current number is sufficient for the offseason, we need to be thinking ahead to the upcoming (eventually) season. Also, there have been some proposals to potentially reduce the login requirements for posting (which is another issue entirely), so there is a potential need for energetic admins who are on around the clock in order to help prevent/cleanup vandalism. Ultimately, the issue at hand is whether or not Shane would responsibly use the admin tools to perform the administrative and maintenance tasks that need to be done. He's already doing the tasks, I'm just proposing giving him the tools. | {{User|Shane}} – Shane has been a tireless contributor since he began actively editing mid-march.

# {{Oppose}}: Shane is undoubtedly one of our wiki's finest technical contributors. Between he and Mercifull, the wiki's features, particularly that involving templates and code on the part of Shane, has greatly improved. It didn't take long after the MediaWiki update for Shane to hit the ground. His work on the sorely-needed update to the Main Page is probably his finest work. However, I must oppose his nomination at this time for two conditions. One: I have already supported Mercifull's nomination and don't feel we need to promote another contributor to adminship just yet. Two, and this is most serious, involves Shane's tendency to move too swiftly in wiki-wide changes without consulting with others for consensus. Shane appears easily bruised by criticism--a trait that can't exist with an administrator. As a result, he has shown a tendency to "go nuclear" a bit too quickly, creating not just one but two Requests for Comment against a fellow contributor--a wikipedian known for his tolerance, patience, and insight. While Shane is obviously capable of using all that MediaWiki offers, I feel he sometimes forgets ''when'' using the tools is appropriate. As Merv can attest, applying for adminship might take some time, and all of us scrutinize each other fiercely to ensure we give the right responsibility at the right time. Shane's powers are awesome as they are, and if there was a status I could vote him for in that capacity, I would. For now, I don't feel that Shane has the best temperment for being an administrator, yet. '''''ADDENDUM:''''' While I can understand Shane's comments on items he and I have worked on and disputed, two points come to mind when I read his responses. (1) It is critical that an administrator NEVER take an argumentative approach to discussion, which Shane unfortunately tends to do. Often, I'm afraid I see more of his wiki coding skills than his ability to lose a battle here and there so we all ultimately win the "war" together. (2) It is also important to work with guidelines to keep the wiki consistent, but not to adhere to matters in such as lock-step fashion that the guidelines are enforced as law. Battlestar Wiki works because we ''don't'' keep to the same way of doing things--once we discover a better way, test it, and vote on it. There is a "flex" to how standards and conventions are used, and Shane, as yet, frankly doesn't get it. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 17:09, 24 June 2006 (CDT) | # {{Oppose}}: Shane is undoubtedly one of our wiki's finest technical contributors.

# {{Oppose}}: You do realize that one can oppose your adminship and still value your edits, right, Shane? Also, while one should [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|Be Bold]], there is a caveat. Click that Wikipedia link and scroll down to "Note too...". Basically the idea is this: "Be bold... but not ''too'' bold." Additionally, consistant and positive edits has, in my mind, very little to so with one's ability to be a good admin. It's a bonus, sure, but the other criteria are much more valuable. Lastly, I would consider it a grevious wrong if Peter's vote were not counted.

** On [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]]/[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]]/[[User: | ** On [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]]/[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]]/[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]]: Spenc points out that we have to many admins and another possaible admin being nominated [[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]], but pointing out on his user page, he clearly states that he is not around as much as he can so why wouldn't two more admins be nice to have in reserve? One ''part two'' RFC's are for resuolving disputes as the [[BW:RFA|policy]] points out. Me and Peter have tried to work it out normally and as people can tell from many discussions that does not happen. There is no spefic "wide-wiki" instance he points out that did any harm to the wiki. (i.e. Marking images with the tag {{tl|no tag}} isn't an issue because it would go against the policy set forth in [[BW:ITP]] -- a policy I did not create.) All "wide-wiki" instances where already done out of concenus. (I.e. [[Resistance]] to [[Resistance (episode)]]). If you were to give in on criticism and not let your point be heard clearly and loudly, the USA would not have succeded from England and this would be the UK. I have not shown disregard for the "real" admin tool of "[[BW:DEL]]" following the policy to the letter when marking pages. I also keep huge changes at http://www.battlestarwiki.org/hangarbay/index.php/Main_Page, which not many people, including Spenc, have not commented on at the proper [[BW:MAIN]] page. Spenc also was wrong with the [[Computers]] page. The [[BW:SAC]] states clearly on my edit: [[User_talk:Shane#Rollback_Note]] and [[User_talk:Spencerian#BW:SAC]]. A ''new'' way is under proposed status right ''now'', but no one else has backed it up: [[Battlestar_Wiki_talk:Standards_and_Conventions#Adjustment_to_Links_to_Episodes]]. Clearly his reason for me going "nuculer". '''To the ADDENDUM''' This wiki is not for my personal benift. I have memeorized all the shows even when watching the Show. This is for the average person who comes in, regeiters and wants to contribute. So without anyone augreeing or steping up to the beliefs that they see that might be bad for the wiki, it would be inapporipite to lay back and let it happen. The guidleines of the wiki are voted on, but as spenc points out. Then why would he make changes to the [[BW:BOLD]] pages without allowing people to compare the two version. You can not cahnge a page off the bat and expect people to agree with it like me. Plus the [[BW:BOLD]] policy is in dispute by me because it goes against the policy, but it must be removed as policy before a new one can be activiated. The {{tl|policy}} and {{tl|Proposed Policy}} states that the community at large the 'status quo' must agree. Not one person and certainily not an administrator, unless it is Joe. Because I have a different view on how things are run or viewed is a reason I am being ({{Oppose}}) by? Clearly a personal attack on the part of Spenc. Spenc's puts on a 'happy' face when he seems to get something [[User_talk:Shane/Archive02#Thanks_for_the_Silly_Template|he wants.]] [[User_talk:Shane/Archive02#Compliments|seems to happen alot to me]], but then gets [[User_talk:Shane/Archive03#Template:Location_Data|reversed.]] They have also never giving me the chance on trying new ideas, yet they love the Portals project, and etc. /me pats self on the back for standing up for other people than just the admins | ||

****I am not the one with admin power do keep my guard up. I follow policy, and when you and other admins break it, I am up to the plate to stop it. Nothing more. You are {{tl|oppose}} because you know I am right. I do accually have a high temper, and I have not blown my top over this site. I bet you some othersite could you my skills and they would want it because it would incress their fanbase. All you guys cite me for are my contributions to articles and nothing more. Gezzz.. it's that content and not templates. If you check my contribs, most of my contribs might have been on the main namespace, but most of them are "minor". Only one article I have really worked on: [[Colonial One]], and even then went I went to ask a question of [[BW:OC]] did you object to what I was saying. I havn't jumped on yours because it's your question. We can do this all night Peter. {{tl|Location Data}} is not a major thing if it's 5 pages, all TOS pages. I like to point out something.... as steelviper said, my user page now lists on what I am working on? Have you even commented on this things I marked? Or should I just mark them with {{tl|policy}}. Take the next step. I do, everytime. Your the one who even said, you marked that minor? Please, I been using MediaWiki software for over a year before I came here. Wasn't that agreementive and hostile towards a person. Next time that happens, you can use {{tl|minor-0}}. Oh... I created that for good use. Do you know what I havn't be blocked? Because I have been right and following the policy. Do you know why people get blocked? Is because they [[BW:VANDL|continue]]. I have never been blocked, warned, nor "told to stop" contrib. Are you using me as a pawn? Maybe, but I still call for your vote removal because it's '''baised''' based on previous RFC and possaiblily another RFC. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 19:30, 24 June 2006 (CDT) | ****I am not the one with admin power do keep my guard up.

::Another problem point early on was with merv, and those have since been mended with myself nominating him on his thrid RFA.
