Nomination

I, SPARTAN-118, hereby nominate Ultra Force for adminship at Halopedia.

Nominee, please accept or defer the above nomination below this line.

Reason for Nomination

As of June 17th, 2011, Halo Nation is currently in a dark age. During these past months, multiple admins have been honorably discharged due to various reasons. Me and Forerunner are the only Administrators on this wiki that are currently active. To keep Halo Nation more stable and clean, we require an additional administrator - none other than Ultra Force. Not only is he a long-time veteran of Halopedia and Halo Nation, but he's a good guy in general.

I don't think I can recommend him highly enough,

Support (1/1) Sysop

1. Support — As per my statement above. SPARTAN-118 ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 06:21, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Against (1/0) Sysop

1. Oppose I'm sorry to say that I vote against this, he has many edits one blog pages, but no edits on mainspace for a long time (proven by the lack of medals). His last edit on main space was 11 October 2010... In my opinion someone who has editted a lot on mainspace learns a lot more of editing tricks and proper grammar than on blogs and such.

• I must argue that the point on grammar and editing tricks does not particularly have much relevance here, given that the user in question does not have any blogs, and is shown to be very proficient in his editing abilities by his last edits. SPARTAN-118 ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 09:18, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

I disagree, he has a lot of edits in user talks and blog posts. Those pages aren't that strict on proper grammar as mainspace pages, so from what I am seeing is a user who hasn't used the proper grammar and wording in over 6 months. This is why I vote againts.

As shown here, all his blog edits are within a space of three days - October 13, 14, and 15. Everything before that is perfectly good mainspace edits. I feel it is unfair to condemn him as a candidate just for this, especially in light of his previous contributions. SPARTAN-118 ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 18:17, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

Sorry to say, but he doesn't seem to qualify. Even looking at his earned badges shows he hasn't got the 1000 mainspace edits required... Wilc0 (Talk page) 06:26, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

• Badges mean nothing, actually. Badges were instituted with the "new" Halo Nation - however, his edit count gives him a total of 2,191 edits at this point in time. SPARTAN-118 ^{(Talk) (Contributions)} 06:32, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

• In that case, I said nothing. Wilc0 (Talk page) 06:47, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
