*I admire your dedication to Nookipedia, but I agree that you need more experience.

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.)

*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.

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.


If you think you or another user is ready to become a staff member or be promoted to another staff position, simply fill out the following template and paste it in the Applications section below.
