All valid applications are considered by the current staff, who offer input and support/opposition. Non-staff users can also provide input in the ''Comments'' section. A week after an application is submitted, a [[Nookipedia:Director|Director]] or [[Nookipedia:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]] will determine the consensus of the vote (in order for an application to be successful, there must be at least 65% support). If your application fails, though, don't be discouraged! Take any advice into mind, and re-apply (after at least 60 days) when you think you're ready again. |

+ | |Nomination = I am a very active user here on nookipedia. I edit with my best intend, and always try my best to make the wiki better. I have {{Special:Editcount/Acnh Player}} edits, with {{Special:Editcount/Acnh Player/Mainspace}} edits in mainspace. I always have a positive attitude. I have uploaded a bunch of images and included them to pages that need them. If I become part of the staff, I will help contribute even better, assist users, and patrol other's edits. Since there are only a few active patrollers on Nookipedia today, I believe that nookipedia will become a better wiki, if I, Acnh Player, become a patroller here. I believe that Nookipedia should be a great place with many, happy editors. I also play animal crossing every day, and I know a lot about it. Also, please see my [[User:Acnh Player/Awesome Contribs|Awesome contribs]].

+ | *While I appreciate your determination in improving the wiki, your edits so far have had several issues, and the staff regularly have to either undo or correct your edits. Many of these issues have been pointed out to you on your talk page. I strongly recommend carefully going over those messages and working to improve your own edits before considering becoming a staff member.

+ | **But, the last many edits, which was adding images to pages, was ''very'' constructive. Those edits weren't reverted by a staff. Plus, the current patrollers are lacking activity.

I can appreciate the positive attitude and determination, but being a Patroller requires much more experience, and making edits that are largely free of issues over a longer period of time.

+ | *I admire your dedication to Nookipedia, but I agree that you need more experience. Let me be clear that your edits are not ''bad'', but continue to require explanations, changes or corrections from staff. I think if you continue to provide edits that improve the wiki, you can become properly accustomed and knowledgeable about the standards here.<br/>Additionally, I am not sure why you would need to be a patroller anyway— it is not a mere badge of honor or status, but a set of tools granted to editors who stand to assist the wiki with them. You can be a constructive, respected editor without needing these specific abilities. (While the details differ there, I am fond of {{Wp|Wikipedia:Administrators|Wikipedia's analogy}} of wiki administrators to janitors: you get some special tools and keys to help out, but you also have to clean up after everyone else.)

+ | * If you really want to be a patroller for Nookipedia one day, then you have to earn it. The amount of messages left by staff regarding your conduct plus the needlessly canvassing of staff to get in your favor and a contribution list that is small, yet not contributive. Even if you have the role bestowed upon you, it is a commitment that you have to do. You have to be responsible for the entire wiki, and I don't see you doing a good job with that role. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 04:43, April 14, 2024 (EDT) | ||

+ | * Going for a role such as patroller ''should'' mean that you make good quality edits and are able to add something to the staff team. While you do edit with good intentions, it is clear that you are not fit for the role, given the amount of clarifications on your talk page from other staff. Additionally, as Chubby Bub has stated already, becoming staff is not a requirement to be a good editor, and the patroller status should not be taken in the regard of a certificate. You shouldn't need to apply for a set of tools when you don't really need them. While you do meet the criteria, the criteria is also the bare minimum for becoming staff (and it has been discussed as being "too little" on this talk page). Exceeding these expectations would give you a higher chance at being accepted into the position. ~ [[User:Vivian|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:#6299c1">Vivian</span>]] [[User talk:Vivian|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:#3a5fb1">(talk)</span>]] [[File:Vivian Sig Pic.png|20px|link=Special:Contributions/Vivian]] 12:02, April 14, 2024 (EDT) | ||
