This is an RFA for the sysophood of [[User:Eloc Jcg|Eloc Jcg]] created by [[User:Sum Mesmer Guy|Sum Mesmer Guy]] on 17 February 2008 12:21pm (UTC)

Eloc has become a well-known and much liked user on GWW, and has helped the users and clean up articles in order to aid the wiki community. He has referred matters of concern to the sysops where sysop powers were required, and some of said concerns may not have been noticed for long time, thereby potentially preventing users getting incorrect information, or a breakout of vandalism that the sysops wouldn't be able to do anything about. If he were to become a sysop, I can give my garuantee that Eloc will not do anything to abuse his powers and I believe that he will be more of an asset than he already has been as a sysop. Eloc would also be able to take some of the pressure off the current sysops. Eloc has done a lot to prevent any breaches of GWW Policy and could do more as a sysop. As mentioned above, Eloc has reported any concern to a sysop, a measure which wouldn't be required if he were to become one. Also, he is a friendly user who has made himself known throughout the wiki, and many people I'm sure would be comfortable talking to him about any worries, concerns or breaches of wiki policy that may arise. If you disagree with anything here, shout at me, not Eloc.Also, check out [[Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for adminship/Eloc Jcg/Archive]] to find out about what happened the last time he was nominated.--[[User talk:Sum Mesmer Guy|Sum Mesmer Guy]][[Image:User sum mesmer guy signiture.png‎]] 12:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

# While complete objectivity is humanly impossible, Eloc has shown far too much subjectivity and emotion to be, in my opinion, worthy of adminship. [[User:Kokuou|Kokuou]] 13:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' As I said last time, Eloc has repeatedly shown outbursts of temper when provoked, which I can't imagine being a good combination with admin tools, and he's occasionally demonstrated a poor understanding of the policies he would be enforcing. I've seen nothing since then to change my mind on those points. Eloc is often far too quick to jump on someone for extremely minor violations of the letter of policy, and I feel putting sysop authority in his hands will do more to alienate potential contributors than it will to improve the wiki. - [[User:Tanetris|Tanetris]] 13:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
# '''Oppose.''' Eloc, while he can be a friendly and well-meaning person most of the time, doesn't have the necessary objectivity or clear mindset a sysop requires. His occasional misunderstanding of situations or his mood swings aren't a good feature for someone in any administrative position. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px| ]] [[User:Brains12|Brains12]] \ [[User talk:Brains12|Talk]] 14:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

# I (still) agree with all other views. Unfortunately, Eloc is not yet ready to be a sysop. Add to this that it has only been just over two months since last time, and I can't support this RfA. [[User:Ale_jrb|Ale_Jrb]] ([[User_talk:Ale_jrb|talk]]) 15:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

# '''Oppose''' I feel that Eloc, while being a very active contributor, is much too literal in his interpretation of policy, and places far too much emphasis on numbers (as demonstrated by his previous RfA statement). Until he can grasp the concept of 'the spirit of a policy', I don't feel he should be given the power to affect other users. --[[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png |Go to Wynthyst's Talk page]] [[User:Wynthyst|Wynthyst]] 22:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

# '''Oppose''' - I have to agree with a lot of the reasons people have given above me in particular Brains, I just don't feel Eloc is ready to be given this level of power. Also as Wyn mentioned he seems to put way too much emphasis on number of contributions and pretty much none on their quality. --[[User:Kakarot|'''Kakarot''']] [[Image:User_Kakarot_Sig.gif|Talk]] 03:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
