Voting (Announcement): Admin Elections

The Candidates of the election starting today (Sunday, the 10th of May 2015) are listed below: CANDIDATE 1: NoyathePenguin - Joined: April 20, 2015 Edits as of Candidate Submission date: 197 “Hello guys, I'm NoyaThePenguin and I'm looking to become one of the admins. For those who don't know me, I'll start with some basics. I've recently got into the Haikyuu fandom and even though I'm new, I think that my efforts can really help out the fandom. Recently, I gave the entire a whole makeover with the help of Jin and Chan. We edited the main pages, categorized and I edited the main page along with some other templates. I believe that I can push this wiki to its full potential and make it as big as it should be. Please, give me a chance and allow me to become one of your admins. Thank you for reading and I hope you give me a chance! ” CANDIDATE 2: Fattieschan - Joined: March 27, 2015 Edits as of Candidate Submission date: 497 "In episode 21 of Haikyuu!!, Koshi Sugawara said the following quote: 'The points we get when I'm on the court, and the points we get when you're [Tobio] on the court -all together, they're points for Karasuno.' I am no Sugawara, but I think this quote greatly applied to the Haikyuu!! Wiki. It is not a secret that I love the Haikyuu!! Wiki and that I want to improve it. The Wiki has a lot of potential to grow, but that growth is being stultified by vandalism, errors, and lack of proper representation of the community. I want to change that because a community is important; it's like a team. Whether you have five edits or 700 edits, it doesn't matter. Your edits are still important to the Wiki, and you deserve to have a voice, and if you vote for me, I will further enforce your voices and do my best to take actions that will represent your voices, just like a Team Captain. So, let me end this short little speech by rephrasing the quotes that we began with: The edits I make when I'm on the Wiki, and the edits we get when you're on the Wiki-all together, they're edits for Wiki." *Please remember that your vote should be based of solely the skill and abilities of the Candidate and not your personal relationship with the person. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas regarding this election, please either comment on this thread or send me a message on my message wall .

Dear Haikyuu!! Wiki Users, Recently, the most active admin of the Haikyuu!! Wiki, whose name shall not be released due privacy reasons, had becomes involved in several discussions with several users that debated his/her qualities for being an admin. After a few weeks of this great debate, the former admin peacefully agreed to revoke his/her own admin rights. Currently, the admin has not revoked his/her rights yet, but an election for a replacement of the admin has been decided by several Haikyuu!! Wiki users to take place. In order for this election to be fair and equal, I, along with several other users, have decided to run the election in this fashion (that can be changed if the Wiki community reasonably agrees to the change): To Vote: To vote, you must comment on this thread on the appropiate time. Your comment must be titled "Vote:" and must state the name of the Candidate you are voting for.
