PvXwiki:Requests for Build Master Status

This page is an official policy on PvXwiki. It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that all users should follow.

For more information on what a Build Master is, see PvXwiki:Build Masters.

A system-generated list of Build Masters can be found here

A category containing links to all resolved RfBMs may be found here.

The Process

Nominations

Candidates may be nominated either by themselves, or other individuals. The nominator should indicate the reasons that he or she feels that the nominee would be a valuable asset to the Wiki community, giving particular regard to why they believe that the candidate deserves the additional powers of a Build Master. The candidate should then indicate their assent to the nomination (if they so choose), and should add any additional comments regarding their candidacy (assuming they were nominated by someone else).

Instructions for how to nominate a candidate can be found below.

Voting

Any member of the community is free to indicate their feelings towards the candidate. These “votes” should indicate whether you support or oppose the candidate, or, alternatively, you may indicate a neutral position. These votes are used as an indicator by the Bureaucrats, and, as such, comments should indicate some insight into the position taken by the voter. While a reason is not strictly required, a vote that provides reasoning will not only be a more valuable tool for the Bureaucrats, it will also be cause for greater consideration and will have a greater impact on the final decision.

In order to maintain a sense of decorum on the voting page, responses to votes should be added to the nominees talk page, not on the nomination page itself.

Promotion

It is important to note that a well-supported nomination is not a guarantee for a build master position—the final decision rests solely with the current administrative team. Voting, while an important tool, is not the deciding factor. The decision as to whether a build master is required at a given time is also left up to the current Administrators. As such, the promotion of a candidate could be held off until a later date even if the candidate were acceptable.

A nomination ends when either the Bureaucrats decide to promote the candidate, or, when the voting stagnates and no decision is reached and/or the Administrative team is unwilling to promote a candidate. Candidates may reapply for the position or may be nominated again at a later date.

Crow (talk • contribs • RfBM page)

• Archived RfBM 1
• Archived RfBM 2

He is Crow. Also, regardless of how little he contributes to the Build space, it would help to have someone who everyone respects to do whatever he wants from time to time. ··· Danny Pew Pew 22:42, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: My contributions are of only the highest quality. --Crow 22:44, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

1. should have been a BM a while ago --Angelus 22:44, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

3. lol @ Jake but csg! sysop 22:48, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
4. quality player in a quality game with quality contribs on a quality site Pimpstronghand 22:49, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
5. Yep Crow is pro----X 01:13, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
6. csc! Life Guardian 01:24, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
7. There shouldn't even be an oppose section. --Frosty 02:51, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
8. I mean, I realize that every single voter is totally up to Crow's dick, but I think that he could be consulted on actually meaningful matters every now and then. ---Chaos- (talk) -- 07:05, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
9. Bah, why not. ----~Short~ 10:20, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Who is crow? He must be a random retard i've never heard of before. Fishels[슴Mc슴]Mootles 07:37, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
2. crow is too good to be a bm Tab 11:37, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral

1. Apply Poison, Tab, Space, Dshot, Tab, Space, Savage Shot, Tab, Space. Can I be BM too? I know crow is by far good enough to be bm, it's just that (asides from his current activity explosion) he barely ever contributes to buildspace. I'm wondering how long he'll keep up that activity. If he's still this active in, say, a week, give me a hit on my talkpage and I'll move to support.  Thomas So Dutch  11:37, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
2. Crow knows what he is talking about but regardless, BMs need to be on regularly imo. ----~Short~ 10:59, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
3. I'd prefer to see more contributions in the build/build talk namespaces. As it stands they're very few and far between. I'd also like to see a bit more activity. ~ PheNaxKian talk 11:12, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
4. See Brandnew. -- Drah 02:12, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
5. Crow has been the authority around here for higher-end PvP for a while. I see no reason for him not to have BMship, as long as he can separate BMing from flaming people (which, I've been assured, he can). EDIT: But his lack of activity worries me, and he tends to be more involved in user/user talk pages than the build space (except for 10 mins here and there) Karate Jesus 19:11, 19 November 2009

Instructions

This simple three-step plan was adopted from the Requests for Adminship in order to facilitate nominations.

1. Insert the following text in the active nominations section above:

   {{{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Username}}

   Where "Username" is the name of the nominee.
2. Proceed to click on the red link created by the 1st template, and insert:

   {{subst:bm1|Username|Rationale for nomination. ~~~~}}

   Be sure to fill in the second argument with your actual rationale and to sign and date it.
3. Finally, insert the following templates at the top of the nominee's talk page:

   {{subst:bm2|Username}}

   This template will alert the user that he/she has been nominated.

Note: The nomination itself counts as a "support" vote.
