Nomination

Fantastic user. Keeps up with anime, manga and whatever else. Terrific writer; good to deal with those descriptions. Is often around. Could be a good help in dealing with other people. Even with all that aside, very nice bloke. Becasita Pendulum (talkcontribs) 23:41, 11 March 2018 (UTC)


Very flattered, and I accept. Sanokal K-T (talkcontribs) 00:29, 12 March 2018 (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: Largely managing most of the ARC-V and manga content as they come in addition to the odd section of gameplay that requires it, particularly on the dub front for ARC-V and VRAINS. I'd be happy to weigh in on any disagreements between users if they arise.
2. What do you consider to be your best contributions, and why?
A: My work for Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V; though I also have a soft spot for my contributions to the workings of Pendulum Summoning (bar that incorrect two Scales thing).
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: Yes, I have; in the past on the Wikia I often conflicted with individuals over their grammar and edit structure, usually without resolution. By this point, I have decided that repeated requests tend to have little effect, so I simply fix the errors afterwards. This is less of a problem on Yugipedia owing to our largely excellent users.
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: I used to contribute to the Halo Nation, but its frustrating quality and forked nation with Halopedia have curbed my enthusiasm these days. I do often contribute to TvTropes.

Other editors may post optional questions for the candidate here.

Questions from Cheesedude
1. Simply put, how do you think you have improved as an editor since your last request for adminship, in as many or few words as you wish? Cheesedude (talkcontribs) 21:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
A. I would say that my edits are less provocative; rather than blame other users, most of my comments are usually directed at myself; though this is partially a side-effect of being on Yugipedia rather than Wikia, these days I tend to simply explain errors rather than snark at them overall. Probably my best example here was when another user updated the banlist page prior to it going into effect, while also elaborating on cards that needed descriptions; for clarity's sake, I explained that I had to revert the changes due to policy, but that I'd add his correct entries back in (this has happened a few times now). That being said, if it comes to clear vandals or repeat offenders, I was significantly less restrained owing to my lack of dealing with the situation other than reversions and requesting help, but this was rather a while ago.Sanokal K-T (talkcontribs) 22:02, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
2. Suppose two users are having a dispute. One is very clearly in the right in terms of editing, but is being condescending and/or aggressive in how they approach the other user. Said other user is incorrect in terms of the content dispute, but is being cordial in terms of the discussion. How would you handle each user? Cheesedude (talkcontribs) 21:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
A. To start off with, I would politely request for the aggressive user to calm down - but not demeaning them, as I understand that such issues can be frustrating, and then state the correct procedure/facts being disputed over. I would then request both for the right, but aggressive user to be more patient next time and make use of our services sooner, and either explain the correct procedure to the other user and how they should implement it in the future, again, making the suggestion that if they are unsure, they should simply ask an admin or knowledgeable user for their opinion. I would hope that such measures wouldn't fail, but in the case that they do, then I would request that either one or both of the users cease editing in that particular editing for a while and observe. I would be reluctant to issue a block, particularly if it is an isolated incident, and in the event that I did, it would not be for long and only in an extreme case or an exceedingly repeated incident.Sanokal K-T (talkcontribs) 22:02, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I am currently going through postgraduate study, which will likely affect my workflow. Sanokal K-T (talkcontribs) 00:29, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
