Moderation:Bureaucrat Promotions

This page is for moderators to request Bureaucrat status. The act of user promotion is restricted to those with bureaucrat status, and as such users will need to request user promotion here. Moderators and Bureaucrats cannot assign promotions unless the request has gone through this page.

Guidelines for Bureaucrat Requests
Users who wish to request moderator status (and users who wish to nominate other users for Bureaucrat status) should note that before they can be considered the following guidelines should be met by the candidate:


 * Significant time within the community. We define this as at least 1 month since the candidate's first edit. (Note: looking in a User's User contributions is likely to give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.)
 * Significant activity within the community. We define this as at least 500 edits under the candidate's name (Note: looking in a User's User contributions is likely to give false results for this criterion, as the edit history is periodically purged on this wiki.)
 * Desire to become a Bureaucrat. We define this simply as indicating in the candidate's request their desire for the position (Note that if a person is nominated by another user, the candidate in question should note their acceptance of the nomination).
 * Indication of trust in the candidate. We define this as a minimum of three other users (preferably users with at least 200 edits under their name) and at least one moderator, willing to vouch for the candidate's suitability for the role.

Once the candidate satisfies these guidelines, the user is then subject to a community discussion. All users are asked to comment on the candidate in question, ask questions of the candidate, and discuss the candidate's suitability for Bureaucratship. This will continue for two weeks, as all users get a chance to air their opinions on the moderator.

Example User
I've been around 4 months, and I've made to date 1500 edits. As you can see [link here] and [link here], I've been in the leadership role attempting to create a new format for this page. I'd very much like to become a Bureaucrat.
 * I am willing to vouch for this user. -- Voucher 03:41, 23 Jan 2006 (GMT)
