Welcome to Nookipedia's Staff Application page! Nookipedia is always looking for active and experienced editors to become a part of its staff, who are granted a few extra tools to aid in the maintenance of the wiki. If you feel that you or another editor is ready to become a staff member or be promoted to higher staff position, please follow the application instructions below.

Requirements

Before applying, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must have had an account on the wiki for at least two months.
• You must have made at least 200 mainspace edits since you joined. This only includes edits in the 'Article' namespace. Edits in other namespaces do not count.
• If you post an application and it turns out to be unsuccessful, you must wait at least 60 days, starting from the date the application was closed, before you may apply again.

Failure to meet the above criteria will result in your application being removed on sight. There is, however, one exception detailed below.

• In addition, although not required at the time of application, Nookipedia staff members must have a verified e-mail address attached to their account. If an e-mail address is not added and verified within 7 days of promotion, your staff permissions will be temporarily revoked until an e-mail is verified. However, it is not mandatory (but nevertheless recommended) to have notifications enabled or allow other users to e-mail you.

Standards

Although not mandatory, it is also recommended that you show the following qualities and skills before applying, as this will give you a greater chance of success:

• Knowledge of editing Nookipedia and our policies.
• Willingness and ability to communicate with and help users in a courteous manner.
• Being fairly active.

Nominations

Any editor can nominate other users for promotions. If nominating another user, you should discuss the nomination first and get their permission. Additionally, the following rules also apply:

• Non-staff editors may only nominate users that meet the criteria detailed above (200 mainspace edits, two months since account creation, and no failed application in the last 60 days).
• Staff members may nominate any user for a staff position, regardless of whether they meet the criteria or not.

Remember, becoming a staff member isn't a big deal - no user is higher than another, and being a member of staff simply means that you have been trusted with extra tools to help out with.

Applying

It is suggested that non-staff apply for the Patroller position. 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 Director or 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.

Acnh Player (talk | contribs | logs) for Patroller Edited the wiki 248 times.	Result: Undetermined Consensus will be determined by a Bureaucrat after seven days.
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 669 edits, with 248 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 Awesome contribs. Acnh Player (talk) 15:44, April 13, 2024 (EDT)
Comments Any editor may provide input here. 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. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 22:30, April 13, 2024 (EDT) 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. Acnh Player (talk) 22:43, April 13, 2024 (EDT) Premature application. 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. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:13, April 14, 2024 (EDT) But I met the criteria Acnh Player (talk) 00:20, April 14, 2024 (EDT) The criteria is the minimum needed to apply. Meeting the criteria to apply doesn't necessarily mean you are ready for a staff position. I recommend consulting with staff before applying in the future to see if you are ready. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:23, April 14, 2024 (EDT) I did consult a staff, tho. Acnh Player (talk) 00:30, April 14, 2024 (EDT) 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. 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 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.) Chubby Bub (talk) 01:04, April 14, 2024 (EDT) 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. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 04:43, April 14, 2024 (EDT) BUT I EDIT WITH GOOD INTENT. PLUS, I TRY TO HELP THE WIKI SO MUCH. PLEASE PLEASSSEEEE CHANGE YOUR VOTES. P-L-E-A-S-E. Acnh Player (talk) 11:06, 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. ~ Vivian (talk) 12:02, April 14, 2024 (EDT) Will I succeed 2 months later when I apply again? Acnh Player (talk) 12:04, April 14, 2024 (EDT) I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with everyone else here. The numerous problems already pointed out by others make me uncomfortable handing over the keys at the moment. And although you've uploaded some images recently, your contributions aren't that substantial overall, with the countless reverts of your edits making the edit count look higher than it really is. Still, though it may look intimidating seeing an accumulation of votes against you, it's not the end of the world. This situation can be turned around with enough dedication and care in your edits, and staff tools aren't that big of a deal anyway (as pointed out above). To answer your question, I'd recommend waiting much longer than the minimum of 2 months if you want a realistic chance of success next time. Drago (talk) 13:15, April 14, 2024 (EDT) There really isn't much I can add that the other staff members haven't already said, but I will bring up that your handling of the situation (constantly reflecting several of your criticisms with points that are irrelevant or very minor, begging staff members for support votes, and even outright opening a proposal to remove oppose votes) comes off as very unprofessional and at worse can give others the wrong message. Overall, I feel you are not ready to become a patroller yet. I strongly suggest you follow what everyone has told you and maybe then you'll have a better chance of gaining patroller status. The Jacketed Terrapin 13:39, April 14, 2024 (EDT) Just because everyone does something, that doesn't mean you have to do it too. Acnh Player (talk) 14:30, April 14, 2024 (EDT) Just saying I agree with the jacketed terrapin bc u r quite irresponsible And can be mean Lexy (talk) 14:14, April 15, 2024 (EDT) I am not irresponsible, though. I am an awesome editor. Plus, I have been a user two months and two days longer than you. And you forgot a bullet point. OOPs, I forgot to sign my comment lol. Acnh Player (talk) 19:44, April 15, 2024 (EDT) I'm afraid I cannot support this application. Begging and canvassing for votes (along with the lack of accountability for the other concerns raised above) to me displays a lack of maturity and responsibility needed for being entrusted with these tools. I admire your enthusiasm in contributing to Nookipedia, but I recommend that you work on becoming more knowledgeable and experienced with our editing and conduct standards. You also need to learn to accept and respond to criticism. As staff, even we make mistakes from time to time. We're just regular people after all, but nonetheless we have taken on responsibility here and are accountable for our actions. I'm not satisfied that you would be suitable based on how you've deflected every challenge made here in this very application. Outside of that, I don't see anything in your contributions that merits the need for you to have these tools at this point in time. Being staff isn't a gold star, we're just glorified janitors who help to keep things running smoothly. Permissions are powerful and must be used with care. We entrust them to users who have proven the need for them, so that they can better perform the specific tasks they do to maintain the wiki (and even we don't all have the same roles and permissions for those reasons). -- Dorsal Axe (talk) 05:58, April 17, 2024 (EDT) The other staff members have the patience of saints; you've repeatedly shown disrespectful behavior, begging them for special favors and harassing them when they politely attempt to correct your poor editing behaviors on this wiki. I've noticed that the advice is sometimes ignored and the poor editing habits continue anyways. Despite your uncivil comments, staff have always responded respectfully to try to gently inform you of these issues, and you respond in turn with more begging and more arguing. Your behavior makes you unfit to be a patroller, and your edits still need to be monitored. Also outside of the wiki, you've painted Nookipedia in a poor light by bothering staff members on Wikipedia, where you similarly showcased poor editing behavior. I don't think you should be patroller until your quality of edits improves and you begin to treat others civilly. HylianAngel (talk) 18:18, April 17, 2024 (EDT) Sorry. I tried to improve lately. Plus, when did I even harass a staff memeber? Acnh Player (talk) 20:56, April 17, 2024 (EDT) Yikes, this isn't looking good for me. Acnh Player (talk) 18:40, April 18, 2024 (EDT)
