StrategyWiki:Requests for permissions/Ryan Schmidt (Bureaucrat 2)

Ryan Schmidt
User Description


 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept this self nomination.

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve StrategyWiki in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * Questions for the candidate
 * 1. What sysop chores have you been helping with?
 * A: Everything under the sun -- IRC, Expanding the Guide, reverting vandalism, blocking problem users, deleting/undeleting pages, protecting pages, the list goes on and on.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to StrategyWiki, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A: All the guides that I had a large part in writing (including the incomplete ones) I feel quite proud of (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Fire Emblem). Also, I wrote the admin guide and IRC pages of the Guide (and probably others, but those two I feel the best about). I also set up the Featured Guides system. Other things that are less obvious that I helped with are two extensions, the Calendar and Alexa Graph javascript, CSS fixes in the BlueCloud skin, and other backend configuration settings.


 * 3. How do you anticipate helping StrategyWiki above and beyond your current responsibilities as a sysop?
 * A: With bureaucrat tools, I plan to help out with renaming users, promoting users to various groups (including the new "rollback" group that will be coming soon), and performing CheckUsers on problem users when required.


 * General comments
 * You may view the previous discussion here. Times have changed since then, so please be aware that most of the things presented there (including the reason I withdrew) may no longer be valid.

Please keep criticism constructive and polite.
