Voting: Administrator Elections #2 (Candidate Elections Announcement)

The Candidates of the election starting today (Thursday, the 16th of July 2015) are listed below: CANDIDATE 1: 1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv - Joined June 11, 2015 Edits as of latest Candidate Submission: 1,661 "Hello! I am username 1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv (or simply, 1qaz), and I am a candidate for the admin position. Since joining on June 11, I have helped improve this wiki. For example, I was primarily responsible for updating and/or creating pages for chapters 29 to the current chapter, in which I had to include information such as characters appearances and chapter infos. I am also one of the most prolific photo uploader in this wiki; I contributed almost 350 photos, some of which were from my own collection. (I love this series so much that I bought most of the tankōbon, some figures, and a couple of the guidebooks.) Furthermore, my edits on volume pages led to an election where voters unanimously agreed to retain them in lieu of a unified volume page. As a further testament to my dedication, I am currently the number one user in this wiki when it comes to achievement points! As great as these maybe, what really matters is my vision for the future of this wiki. If elected, and with the help of the other admins, I promise to improve this community by adding more content, updating the source codes, and making the site more user-friendly. I also pledge to continue this site’s practice of putting the community first. Major decisions will only be done after a careful and meaningful consultation with all those involve, and no user will ever feel isolated. After all, the main purpose of admins is to serve you, the members of this wiki. Finally, I will try my best to be available to all members by having a fixed chat schedule and promptly replying to all communications. If you have any other questions about my candidacy or simply want to chat about the series, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to talk to you. Once again, I’m 1qaz, and I look forward to your vote. Thank you so much!" *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 leave a message on either Bureaucrat Fattieschan's wall or Admininstrator NoyaThePenguin's wall, and we'd be glad to assist you. Dear Haikyuu!! Wiki Users and Contributors, It's come to our attention that having only two active administrators on this Wiki is not very good for this Wiki's "health" as only having two administrators yields slow progress on this Wiki. Thus, we have decided to hold another Adminstartor Election for two more Administratorst to join our team. The process will be relatively the same process as the first Administrator Elections that took place a few months ago. For anyone that has either forgotten or does not know of the process, here are the basic steps of the process extracted from this Week's Newsletter: "1) A thread is made for Canidate Submissions which opens at the specific time announced; this thread will list the rules and qualifications for entering the Election along with qualifications for voting. Any user or contributor that would like to enter will have to submit a typed "speech" via comment section, Administrator Message Wall, or Live!Chat before a certain deadline which will also be listed in the Canidate Submission thread. 2) After the Canidate Submission thread is closed, a new thread for Elections will be made and will list the usernames of all qualified Canidates and their "speeches". 3) Wiki Users and Contributors who meet certain qualifications which will be listed in both threads will reply to the thread in the comment section their vote and a short reason of why they have voted for said Canidate(s). 4) After a certain deadline has passed, the thread will close, and the current Administrators will count up the votes and announce the winners who should recieve their Adminiship less than 24 hours later." The rest of this post is for Candidates, so for any other Wiki users or contributors planning to vote, the rules will be similar to last Elections' Voting Rules which will be posted if the Voting portion of the Elections does occur in a seperate thread for spacial reasons. Candidate Information: ***The starting date for elections will be Friday, the 31st of July 2015. To become a Candidate: To become a Candidate, you must either leave a message on this thread, leave a message on either Bureaucrat Fattieschan's wall or Admininstrator NoyaThePenguin's wall titled "Candidate Submission", or private message one of the active administrators, clearly stating that you'd like to become a Candidate for this election. In the message, you must state the include a typed reason or typed "speech" of why the community should vote for you and anything else you would like to add. There is no miniumum or maximum for your "speech", and any pictures, links, or videos will be allowed. Please note that your "speech" will be listed in this thread shortly after you submit your "speech" and will list your username along with the date you joined this Wiki and number of edits you have done on this Wiki since your last Candidate Submission. Please also note that you are allowed to change and submit a new version of your "speech" as many times as you would like before the deadline. Lastly, please also keep in mind that dishonesty is not tolerated. Any Candidate that is dishonest in their Candidate Submission will be disqualified from being a Candidate. Candidate Qualifications and Rules: BEFORE CANDIDATE SUBMISSIONS ARE OFFICIALLY DUE, YOU MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS: 1) You must have shown your commitment to the wiki by contributing actively for at least a month. 2) You must have at least a basic understanding of how the Wiki works.

Edits on different accounts do not count. 4) You must have read our Wiki's 


 Administration page.

These pages and sites will all greatly aid you in becoming an adminstrator. Please also note that anyone, including veteran adminstrators who no longer hold any administrative Rights, can become a candidate as long as he/she meets these qualifications, but please remember that the community will be voting on you based on your work and other qualities that you may posses. The current Adminstrators will also most likely judge candidates harsher than the community. ***The last day for Candidate Submissions will be Thursday, the 30th of July 2015 at 12:00 AM (ET). To Win: There two winners who will both be given Administrator Rights. Please keep in mind that cheating is not tolerated.
