WikiFur talk:Colleagues
Nomination: BlueOtter
BlueOtter joined us in August 2005, 2500 days ago. His editing was sporadic in our early years (perhaps in part due to other duties), but he has made regular contributions over the last year and a half, maintaining numerous convention articles and templates, and participating in discussions. He also sports the site colours. I therefore propose naming him as a colleague and curator. --GreenReaper(talk) 15:55, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
- Strongly agreed. -- Sine 16:53, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
- Support. BlueOtter has had a long-term presence, with a great number of edits. His contributions, especially to the convention-related articles, have been most useful.--Higgs Raccoon 17:38, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
- Support. He's been a frequent editor for at least the last year and a half, and has helped deal with vandalism. --mwalimu 01:44, 22 June 2012 (EDT)
- Promoted. Welcome to the colleagues, BlueOtter! --GreenReaper(talk) 12:39, 23 June 2012 (EDT)
Thank you, it's an honor to join and assist. :) BlueOtter 12:38, 23 June 2012 (EDT)
Nomination: Equivamp
I'd like to renominate Equivamp for consideration as a colleague. In the past two and a half years, they have made appropriate use of their power as a conservator, and have contribute to WikiFur's content, doubling their main namespace contributions.
Back in 2012, concerns were raised over potential exposure of private information to other Encyclopedia Dramatica contributors, and their legal status as a minor. The latter is no longer be an issue; as for ED, edits under their account continued after their promotion, but had dropped off as of mid-2013. I asked whether they were contributing under another name, and was told that this was not the case. What are your thoughts? --GreenReaper(talk) 06:23, 9 September 2014 (EDT)
- Who cares if Equivamp contributes to Encyclopedia Dramatica or not? It isn't like she couldn't retrieve deleted pages by using Wayback Machine. EDIT: Support (You guys need to stop being dumb.) Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co. (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2014 (EDT)
- Privacy concerns aside, while members of a community dedicated to making "satirical jabs at Internet users, [...] sites and phenomena" may be tolerated as editors, some are reluctant to call them colleagues, or to elevate them to a position where they represent WikiFur. It's not a nice site for those individuals and communities featured on it, and many think less of those who actively contribute to it. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:20, 9 September 2014 (EDT)
- >and many think less of those who actively contribute to it
- So in other words I will get colleague status within a month or two. Anyways this being an issue is silly and people need to get over it.
- If anything, Equivamp will be an even better colleague because of her experience at Encyclopedia Dramatica. Come on, unlike myself, she actually respects and complies with WikiFur's policies. Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co. (talk) 08:55, 10 September 2014 (EDT)
Willy on Wheels
Didn't know that nominations should go here. Anyways I would like to re-nominate Willy on Wheels to be a curator. I refer you to their successful nomination for admin on Wikipedia. Interstellar Shipping & Trading Co. (talk) 08:33, 10 September 2014 (EDT)
