PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The community is ready to select a Bureaucrat. The user who is selected will have additional tools that will enable him/her to adjust user rights, allowing us to be "self-contained" again and not have to contact Wikia when staff changes are requested.
The description of the role, and the selection process agreed to previously, are outlined in the Staff Procedure.
The community has recommended that the following Administrators be considered for this role: Bane Cane, Dragon trip, JustinDaOne and Pickle786™. (Tatzelwyrm was also recommended but has declined). All four individuals will be discussed in this thread and, as covered in the procedure, the ONE candidate who has the strongest support, with no major objections, will be affirmed by the Administrators to ensure there is consensus among them that they have no concerns with the selected candidate. The goal of the Administrators is, of course, to support the community desire whenever possible.
Users are encouraged to discuss both supporting information and any concerns they have with any or all candidates. PLEASE observe these "rules":
You are invited to discuss any and/or all of the candidates. However, each comment should only relate to one individual. For example, if you have input on Bane Cane and Pickle, you must enter two separate comments.
This is NOT a vote that will result in a majority decision. It is intended to be a polite and respectful discussion of each candidate, and the discussions do not have to relate only to observations made on this wiki. Please do not merely enter a user name in your comment; all comments should include discussion information relating to the candidate and the reasons you feel the individual should or should not be given Bureaucrat tools.
The discussion will remain open at least one week (will not close before August 3) and longer if needed. The discussion will end when it is determined that one candidate is the "generally preferred" candidate.
Inappropriate or off-topic posts may be edited or deleted by Admins or Wiki Mods; other users are free to edit their own comments but not those of other people. Comments must relate to the candidates rather than the process (which was previously discussed and voted on, and can be modified at a later date if the community desires). For questions regarding the process, users are invited to leave comments in the Questions Concerning Nominations forum or on any Admin's Message Wall.
Note: Although the procedure calls for the discussion to result in one Bureaucrat, this does not mean the Wiki has chosen to limit itself to only one user with these tools. Future discussions can be held to determine second, third or more selections for additional users to have the Bureaucrat tools.
As a reminder, the candidates are:
