He has been very active for the past year, hasn't been the source of any major conflict and has a strong understanding of most things wiki and TCG related. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:56, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve as an administrator. Please answer the following four questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Administrator powers would allow me to perform deletions myself, rather than tagging or requesting admin's help. Access to AutoWikiBrowser would allow me to perform edits in a much more efficient manner. Also, I would perform other administrative duties, such as settling user conflicts and dealing with vandals, when necessary. --SnorlaxMonster 20:33, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

2. What do you consider to be your best contributions, and why?

A: I have rewritten several entire pages on game mechanics, such as negate, destroy, infinite loop and Quick Effect. These edits aim to clarify a page that seemed confusing or missing technical details of unusual cases. I am most proud of these --SnorlaxMonster 20:33, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A: The most significant conflict I've had would have been shortly after I started becoming active, with FredCat100 over the introduction of the List of female cards article. After several reverts, I took it to his talk page (with him responding on mine). After he suggested we bring in an admin as a mediator, I contacted an admin on the matter, and allowed the admin to resolve the issue. I've had other disagreements, but that's the only time I remember it getting hostile. I am happy with the way the situation was dealt with and resolved. --SnorlaxMonster 20:33, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

4. Do you regularly contribute to any other wikis? Are you an administrator or bureaucrat on any of them, or do you have accounts with similar roles on forums, blogs, etc.? Could you provide links, if so?

A: Bulbapedia (and Bulbanews) and Zelda Wiki are the other wikis I regularly contribute to. I am a bureaucrat on Bulbapedia, an administrator on Zelda Wiki, and a member of the board of editors on Bulbanews. --SnorlaxMonster 20:33, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Other editors may post optional questions for the candidate here.

Support

• I don't know Snorlax that well as a user, but I took a look at what he's contributed to recently, and he's done a lot of work getting the Lightsworn monster pages up-to-date with the latest Structure Deck information. Also, if he has knowledge of being an admin on other wiki sites and has knowledge in using AWB, then I don't see a problem with him becoming an admin. --Dark Ace SP (TalkPage) 18:34, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
• This user has quickly become invaluable to have around. I'm particularly pleased with his expansion of the card search categories. His answers to the above questions more than satisfy me, so I have no reason not to support. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:28, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
• I echo Deltaneos' sentiments regarding appointment. Handled Fred well, has decent knowledge of things that can assist us as a team, and seems to have Wiki contribution down to a T.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 00:29, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
• To be honest, I'm a little surprised he wasn't an admin already. In my humble opinion I certainly think Snorlax has the qualities of an admin. Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 23:11, July 2, 2014 (UTC)
• Never been a reason for me to be against this. He's been very helpful, level headed, and I can't see him misuse the extra tools. I think he would be a nice addition. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 03:13, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
• I second what the above people said. To add my own opinion, his experiences with the wikis he mentioned (Bulbapedia in particular) have helped him be one of the most helpful people here. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 00:35, July 4, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

• Sounds like you got too much work on other Wikis. Having too many adminships will cause you to take too many responsibilities and will not edit as often as it should be. Energy X ∞ 17:56, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral

Other comments

• I think quite a few of the wiki's users know how hard-headed FredCat can be, and how aggressive he can be when it comes to certain topics and pages. I think Snorlax handled it well by getting UK involved. --Dark Ace SP (TalkPage) 18:38, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
