Buel is encouraged to reach out to current wiki creators for help and potential mentorship's and should not be discouraged from reapplying for wiki creator in a few months once they've learned more about the ins and outs of the position.

 * About 3 I'd apporove.Actually there are wiki imported from fandom and so on.
 * About 4 I'd apporove.I think description is enough.

 * 1) Oppose. I don't usually comment on RfPs but I find these answers alarming and am not sure if the candidate has even read the pages for content policy and the expectations for wiki creators Naleksuh (talk) 04:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  I agree with Naleksuh here, all the the answers given are very alarming for a wiki creator. While you may have been right about declining some of them, it would have been for very different reasons. Universal Omega (talk) 04:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  per UO
 * 4)  Failed all scenarios as far as I'm concerned. While the surface level "yes/no" may sometimes be incidentally correct, these answers lack nuance.  dross  (t • c • g) 04:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy. The reason is because I have an exam in June that will affect my education life and I have to study for that exam. I can vouch for @BrandonWM because I have very little change. If my exam in June is good, I can apply again for the third time. I'm so sorry to everyone who voted, maybe I offended them. Kind regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:17, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Group: Wiki creator Reason: Wiki requests can accumulate throughout our private lives. I want to serve the miraheze community without waiting for wiki requests. I actively provide roles in communities and wikis, even if my editing is minimal, I think I will remove this responsibility. Appreciation in our community.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:04, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * Public wiki named "Bad Celebrities Wiki" - Description "A wiki that discusses bad celebrities."
 * I would like him to explain in detail the purpose of the wiki, the subject and scope of the wiki, as the explanation is very inadequate.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is partially correct. This would be declined for violation of the Content Policy, specifically this line:
 * "Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people" ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 12:45, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ZeusDeeGoose I partially agree with your correctness, as the English language is a language that takes some courage to understand.  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Private wiki named "Super Happy Tree Wiki" - Description "I want to make a wiki for me and my friends"
 * Creating wikis with friends is wrong. Miraheze's purpose is to host information on the wiki farm. Since Miraheze is not a forum-style wiki, I would most likely reject it.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is incorrect, Miraheze often approves personal and core friend group projects although the description as to what it entails is lacking and it would be reasonable to ask for more. The 'forum style' and social focus prohibition is Fandom's stipulation, not Miraheze. But as long as the discussion material is compliant (you'll notice Content Policy doesn't even touch on this subject anyway), even a wiki with a social focus should be fine. --Raidarr (talk) 12:14, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think personal wikis will be a huge burden for Miraheze, our goal is for everyone to have at least 1 wiki here. Thanks for your response  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:33, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "The Legendary Witch Wiki" - Description "Recently, due to Fandom's policy changes, I would like to move my wiki here. This wiki will discuss legendary witches."
 * It's nice that he moved his wiki from Fandom to Miraheze, but I would say that the scope of the wiki is insufficient, I would refuse.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What would make this scope sufficient at a minimum, and how would it help your assessment of the wiki following Content Policy properly or not? --Raidarr (talk) 12:15, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What makes Scope sufficient is what the Wiki contains, for example the purpose of the X wiki is to create Brawl stars articles. But if that X article goes out of its purpose, then it is not possible to approve that wiki in my opinion dear @Raidarr, best regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:54, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "Tropes Wiki" - Description "A wiki for all tropes in media. Tropes Wiki will cover tropes in several pieces of media, which is included but not limited to games, films, literature, and TV shows."
 * The scope of this wiki is sufficient. I would approve of his wiki, provided it complies with its content policy.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is somewhat tricky and you are not expected to know all wikis on the platform, but it would be highly beneficial to know what wikis are present and at least at the top of platform traffic. In this case AllTheTropes is a very large wiki for the platform covering everything described and so would be considered a fork and at least a direct competitor, which is a problem. For this reason it cannot be accepted and the user should be directed to the wiki doing exactly what they describe. --Raidarr (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find anything to answer right now :/, @Raidarr is there anything else you want to ask?  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:58, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "Humor Wiki" - Description "A wiki for jokes. It will describe every singe joke in detail and their punchlines, alongside comedians. It will also cover comedy films and books as well."


 * The scope of this wiki is sufficient. I would approve of his wiki, provided it complies with its content policy.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  This candidate's strength is probably being multilingual, I think it might help to know what the other languages are. That said, native English understanding does not strike me as this candidate's strong suit, which could result in communication issues since all core volunteers and most requests are English based. More difficultly, this candidate has little operational experience or background understanding with the allowances and stipulations of requests. It would be helpful to work with an active wiki creator/core volunteer to develop this understanding since understanding 'the lay of the land' is critical along with good judgement based on the Content Policy. I abstain, but the issues mean I could not support at this time if pushed to a clear vote. --Raidarr (talk) 12:21, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Raidarr Thank you raidarr for your abstention, glad to hear that from an experienced steward. I can say that my mother tongue is not English, but Turkish. Of course, this experience is a bit too necessary for the wiki creator, I'm aware of that. but it still helps me if you tell me your thoughts. Kind regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah no prob, and I think with time you could get the necessary background. Not being correct initially is not a breaker, it's largely about attitude and growth. Turkish is unfortunately a very limited use language here (I think I've seen no more than two in my time) but having that and growing your English can still result in strength. I'd give similar advice to Buel who I missed above, and for anyone else with similar circumstances thinking about it. You can get a lot just from watching the request queue when processed (right now the key people aren't at their best unfortunately), and noting the exceptions, scruples and sometimes inconsistency that happens. And of course, you can get more information from someone experienced. used to offer some guides for best practices that are in extension of or cover holes with Content Policy in making decisions. --Raidarr (talk) 12:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Raidarr I guess now I realize that you were like me in the past. Dmehus was like me, he knew nothing. but he improved himself by taking notes. Thank you again for your words raidarr, I will continue to improve myself whether this application is negative or positive. Kind regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:42, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  Per raidarr. I strongly suggest undergoing a mentorship-type program with an existing wiki creator, or even a prior one; of course, if willing to help.--  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 15:47, 2 October 2022 (UTC)  vote striked to support. The user is generally trusted, and the questions had most answers correct. I trust that the user can learn from the environment, I still say, hey, you should try a mentorship-type program, but as long as you can correctly approve/decline wiki requests, it's a +1 from me. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * my goal is to help everyone anyway @Bukkit, I made this application to speed up the work of wiki creators, thanks for your vote.  Hey Türkiye  message? 16:09, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Switched to support, I personally think you'd do well as long as you give some practice and confer with your peers. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:16, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Have no doubt that I will ask questions when I do a transaction with peers @Bukkit, I wish you a pleasant day. Thank you again for changing your vote and voting. These comments inspire me. Kind regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:30, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) User answered most questions to my satisfaction. The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 16:43, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ZeusDeeGoose Thank you for your vote, I'm happy if my comments and answers satisfied you :) I wish you a pleasant day. Yours truly  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:27, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 20:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you @AlPaD for voting, seeing these trusts gives me courage. I wish you a pleasant evening (If You Use UTC time)  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  Temporarily until finding more information. On the surface user looks trustworthy and competent. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 00:51, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @BrandonWM Thank you for voting, I serve you my cause and I will continue to do so, Miraheze for one, all for one! Kind regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 04:55, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Simply put, the user only has 108 edits on Meta, 20 of which have come from this RfP alone. Most activity is only on the user's own wikis, and while that is amazing and I am in full support of their endeavors, I don't see a full understanding of Meta conventions and policies. I'd recommend being more active on Meta, and revisit this in a month or two, I'm sure you will receive a lot more support then. Other than that, I have absolutely no opposition to any other statistics, 12 months since account creation, 3,000 global edits, it all looks good. Just more activity on Meta. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 23:25, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  I just think it is too early.
 * @小美粉粉 Special thanks for your vote, I know it's too late for me to apply but my goal here is to collaborate with the wiki creator and ease their work. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer you :) Best regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 04:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
Hello, @LisafBia I hope you have accepted the nomination, if you have accepted the nomination please answer the following questions;


 * Public wiki named "Bad Celebrities Wiki" - Description "A wiki that discusses bad celebrities."
 * I would deny this request, because the wiki's content violates the Content Policy.


 * Private wiki named "Super Happy Tree Wiki" - Description "I want to make a wiki for me and my friends"
 * If the content of the wiki is not specified, I will reject the request and ask what the content is.


 * Public wiki named "The Legendary Witch Wiki" - Description "Recently, due to Fandom's policy changes, I would like to move my wiki here. This wiki will discuss legendary witches."
 * Public wiki named "Tropes Wiki" - Description "A wiki for all tropes in media. Tropes Wiki will cover tropes in several pieces of media, which is included but not limited to games, films, literature, and TV shows."

 * 1) I respect you as a user, but it's too early for this as you have ~50 edits here. You can help around in Meta noticeboards, and maybe in 5-6 months I can support this request. The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 01:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) You do not have enough of a presence here on Meta to qualify for administrator. Marxo Grouch  (talk) 01:49, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Not now. Having rights on Qualitipedia doesn’t automatically qualify you for having the right on Meta, as the wiki’s procedures are extremely different than each other, and as such, requires a decent amount of experience on-meta for me to support such a request. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 05:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4)  Per above, I feel this is a bit to soon. I encourge you to contribute a bit more here on Miraheze Meta, and then perhaps request again in a few months. Universal Omega (talk) 05:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Universal Omega (Administrator)
Group: Administrator Reason: Hello, I am making this request for Meta Administrator because over the last few months we have lost numerous Meta Administrators to resignations. I have decided to request Meta Administrator to further my involvement in the Meta community, and to remain more active within the community. Recently, I have been active as a global rollbacker, monitoring the CVT feeds, and even creating a new IRC bot to further assist in CVT monitoring. I have also recently had more time on my hands to commit to the community. Miraheze has been lacking volunteers and this has not been improving much lately, while we do have more wiki creator request as of late, we have a lack of volunteers in most other areas. Over the past year Meta Administrators have been resigning. This included Southparkfan, NDKilla, Dmehus, and RhinosF1. Currently most of the other remaining Meta Administrators only seem to be active a couple times a month (if even that). Only about two or maybe three Meta Administrators are reliably around and active. I can't say I would be around as much as the most active Meta Administrators, but I would be available most of the time, and likely be around more than the majority of current Meta Administrators. Thank you! Universal Omega (talk) 02:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
