Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Requesting User Rights/Rollback Archives/2017

Hello! I've come to request to run as Rollback for the Claiming Department. I'm around every day, and I think myself to be very active. I have no problem reading long histories and such as I enjoy reading characters' backstories (yes, I lurk on new claims). When I do take the time to read over my own claims, I can easily pinpoint what I need to change and some of the overzealous points of my claims, but to be honest I rarely do so due to my just general nature. I'm not afraid to point out that we only have two active claimers if I can remember correctly, who happen to be Summer June and Meloney. On another point, I actively have a lot of free time (and no social life) so I'll be able to get to claims quickly.

I really hope I will be able to join the Claiming Department and help get characters through the Claiming process so they can be created and roleplayed. If I am accepted as a Rollback, I promise that I will at least try to get to claims whenever I can, even if my life takes a spin for the worst. Thank you for your consideration.

Yay (+4)

It's amazing that you have the ambition and initiative and props for that! C: But at the end of the day, the fact that you don't have a history of doing department related work isn't something that can be ignored especially when we're talking about rollback rights. User rights are something that require the basis of a strong history of contributing to the wiki beyond personal edits.I have noticed that you've worked on adding month categories to character pages starting yesterday and that's great! However, your basis for becoming a rollback isn't something that you can create overnight and it's something that needs to be worked on over a longer period of time. If you're aiming to be apart of the Claiming department, claims would be the most essential skill and task since character page categorization would fall under the Human Resources department's scope

Now believe me when I say that I'm not doubting what you claimed above, but there is a difference between saying that you are capable of doing something and "showing" that you are capable of doing something. There are scenarios where someone may think they are well suited for something, but it turns out to be the opposite when they give it a try, so you'd never know unless you try. For the claim department, I'd recommend that you take the first step and become a helper to get accustomed to the various claim rules and start working on claim checking. Unfortunately at this time, I'm not truly convinced based on what I can see to vote "for" your vote, but keep on working hard, fighting!

Just wanted to clear something up, the categorizing had nothing to do with me running. I was just bored and Nat suggested getting helper edits, so that's what I did.

If it had been A&S, I'd probably have voted differently, but I agree with Kevin.

As much as I want to have another claimer to help me immediately, I agree with Kevin that you go through being a camp helper first. Claiming is a whole different level from categorizing or bringing fun events here. It's the thing that keeps the wiki moving, and cleaning each and every claim, complicated or not, is just really tiring (trust me). But I'd love to hold your hand while you explore different kinds of claims before you get to claim them yourself, k? I'll have a nay for now, but I'm sure that, maybe the next time, you'd be so much better :D

Same as Manolo, but I think for now I'll just abstain until something changes, whether it be a change in the dept picked or I see more claiming work being done.

I kind of agree with the above, dept edits are extremely important to getting a higher rank on this wikia. Being a helper helps so much at least in my experience. It's basically like being a rollback anyway except you won't be able to claim yourself... yet. Plus it's much worse if you make a mistake as rollback. Starting at helper is still helping out the wikia and keeping it running so it's all good.

...I know I said I'll stay neutral if you were to go up for RB but I saw your comments on some of the claims not to say they were bad but.. it was awfully general. Not to be rude but it shows you have potential but if you want to go for RB in claims you need to know more than just the basic and for that I'm saying no. I'm sorry

I know I said I was going to abstain because I felt you were better suited for a different department, but I believe your recent edits show you're driven to work in the claiming department and although you may be able to work on some aspects, its nothing that can't be taught to you while already being a rollback.
