===[[Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for adminship/Gem|Gem]]===
This request is for the sysophood of [[User:Gem]] ([[User talk:Gem|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gem|contribs]]). 
Created by -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] ([[User:Gem|gem]] / [[User talk:Gem|talk]]) 07:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC).

====Status====
Failed. 21:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

====Candidate statement====
I decided to start a new RfA for myself now that I'm more clear with my aims and with the needs of this wiki. There has been a lot of discussion about admin roles in the past two months after my resignation. The current interpretation of the role is that admins are just regular users with some additional janitorial 'possibilities' or 'duties' (word choice depends on user). The main reason for my resignation during the last reconfirmation was that I knew that admins were looked up to in the same way as they are looked up to in GuildWiki, and thanks to the feedback from some users who I respect I realised that I wasn't the best user to be in such a position. This situation has now changed due to the change in opinnions and attitudes towards admins and I now find myself fitting for the role. I know my way around the wiki, I know the policies and I have the ability, time and willingness to work with the admin tools according to policies.

All in all I'm very happy with the last two months. I took the time to see the wiki from the regular users viewpoint, I took the time to get back to contributing just like a regular user, I took the time to think about me and my actions in the wiki, and, most importantly, I took the time to take really good care of [[User:Kalomeli|Kalomeli]]. Thanks for all that to those users who could view me and my actions critically last time and could get me to understand better. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] ([[User:Gem|gem]] / [[User talk:Gem|talk]]) 07:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

====Oppose====

# At least until further notice, I oppose. I've seen nothing of Gem in his two month or so hiatus, so I can't know if he's improved or if he's just hoping the standards for sysopship have dropped. If I see evidence of significant improvement, my vote will change. -[[User:Auron|Auron]] 08:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
# Nothing changed. --[[User:Karlos|Karlos]] 08:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

#'''SUPERIOR OPPOSE''' Gem is inflexible and comes off as smooth as sandpaper. He is oftentimes confrontational and making him a sysop will provide no tangible improvement to the wiki. While he may be a good contributor in terms of raw information, he is most certainly ''not'' qualified to be a sysop on any level.

# Weak oppose - Gem cares very much about this wiki and I believe he has calmed down a little since his 'hiatus', but unfortunately this is not enough evidence that he is suitable for the role of sysop and I would like to wait until he has contributed some more before supporting his promotion.
