Forums > Consensus track archive > High Priest Election

This page is an archive of the discussion about a selecting new High Priests. The decision was that Darth tader, Dexington, MPK and Xepeyon would be the new High Priests.' - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 05:25, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Elections began on November 23, 2007 and will end on December 23, 2007.

Because we have now changed Good Article standards and given the members of the High Priests actual powers and responsibilities, it is time that we elect new High Priests. I have nominated all of the current High Priests out of fairness, but please feel free to nominate other users you feel deserve the privilege. Remember, however, that you cannot nominate or vote for yourself, nor can you vote if you've been stripped of that right, if you've been here for less than a month and have less than 250 edits. The five people with the highest number of votes will be High Priests. Also remember to give reasons for support and opposing someone. Good luck to all of the nominees. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 22:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

2. Xepeyon, MPK (6)
3. Darth tader (4)
4. C3PO the Dragon Slayer (-4)

Nominations

C3PO the Dragon Slayer

Oppose

1. He's a great guy, but he has shown that he has little to no interest in being an HP so I don't think he's suited to be one at this time. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 23:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
2. Sorry, 3PO, but activity and participation is a must. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 00:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
3. Sorry, inactive.—Darthtyler _Talk 00:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
4. Per the others, and C3PO's lack of interest in being an HP (as stated below). --Don Victor, Sr. (contact) 06:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

1. Inactive? Although I have no interest in being an HP (although I am interested in the HPs), I do check on Star Wars Fanon on a very regular basis. I devote a couple hours (around 2-3) each day to keeping up to date with Star Wars Fanon, just as I have been doing ever since I started out on Star Wars Fanon. The only difference is that while I am active, and I do know what is going on, and I do read articles put up here shortly after they are posted, I'm not editing as much. This is because I have devoted most of the fanfictioning time I used to set aside to working on Avian Hunt, which is, officially, a Star Wars Fanon project. Just to be straight on things: I draft my articles before posting them, so fanfictioning and Star Wars Fanon periods are separate. I understand (and support) the opposition to my nomination, but calling me inactive is a blow that I think is incorrect. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer ^{6,000,000 forms of communication | Dragons I've Slayed} 03:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

   If you are referring to me, I know you are doing stuff, I see you doing stuff all the time, but you are not active concerning HP-ness stuff. Stuff is a wonderful word. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 03:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

   Yes, that and other stuff. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer ^{6,000,000 forms of communication | Dragons I've Slayed} 14:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Darth tader

Support

1. Tader is a great user and was always a great HP. I definitely give him my support, but I would like to see him become a bit more active. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 23:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
2. —Darthtyler _Talk 00:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
3. Activity could be a problem, but the lack of anyone else to do this also comes into play. Dexington 00:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
4. I'm sure activity won't be a problem for very long. His userpage seems to suggest that he's ready for more edits. Michaeldsuarez ^{(Activate Holocron)} 01:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

• Hm, he hasn't been on as much recently, but, then again, neither was I for a bit, so I'm not sure. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 00:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
• I support because I can understand if people leave for a short while for personal life issues. Prime Minister Wing (Parliament)
• I'll remain neutral in this vote. To me, I don't want to oppose tader, though I don't see him in the position of an HP. --Don Victor, Sr. (contact) 06:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
• I'll be neutral for this one. I agree he hasn't been here awhile but familiy comes first...Ultima_{Join the Sith} ^{My Holocron}  23:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Dexington

Support

1. Obviously I've known Dex through SWRP for awhile now. He is one of the Admins over at SWRP and a current HP here, and in both positions he's done nothing but excel. I can't think of a single reason why he shouldn't remain an HP. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 23:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
2. Strong yes. Great writer, great critic. Deserves the rank. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 00:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
3. Deserves it.—Darthtyler _Talk 00:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
4. Per above. --Don Victor, Sr. (contact) 06:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
5. I'm not arguing with Brandon, but he does rock. Great user and writer. Michaeldsuarez ^{(Activate Holocron)} 01:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
6. Nice contributor and writer. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 17:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
7. Good user. Unit 8311 13:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• Although I strongly support Dex for a position as High Priest, I cannot vote for six months. All I can show is moral support. Wing, the Philosopher (msg)
  • This is our best High Priest! Wing, the Philosopher (msg)

Xepeyon

Support

1. Figured I'd nominate someone new, and Xep seemed the best candidate. Every week I see him voting on GAs, so he is a no brainer in my opinion. Dexington 19:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
2. Per Dex. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 19:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
3. Yes, per Dex, he is a great (and active) critic. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 19:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
4. Per all comments above. Michaeldsuarez ^{(Activate Holocron)} 01:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
5. --Don Victor, Sr. (contact) 02:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
6. Absolutely. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 17:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutral/Comments

1. I guess I'll stay neutral. I think Xep's a great user, just not very experienced, and that's not enough for me to oppose.—Darthtyler _Talk 20:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

MPK

Support

1. Though the reviews he has done on his user page are unorthodox, to be sure, they are nonetheless thorough and are done in a way that would really make people want to change the problems in their articles and fix all errors. I know there are some that will undoubtedly oppose this nomination because MPK hurt their feelings or were just too blunt for their liking, but we need good reviewers that hold no bias and MPK is a great reviewer who holds absolutely no bias on this Wiki. He has my full support. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 02:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
2. Works for me. I like how he owns everyone he reviews. Dexington 02:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
3. --Victor, Sr. ^{HoloNet 209} 05:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
4. Even made someone as stubborn as me change some things around. (Which is normally impossible, thanks to my superego. ) A great critic and wonderful reviewer. We're in good hands. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 15:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
5. He definitely spends more time reading articles than I do; I just look at them for a few seconds. Michaeldsuarez ^{(Activate Holocron)} 21:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
6. Yes, definitely. -Solus ^{(Bird of Prey)} 23:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I'll stay neutral here. Unit 8311 13:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• Not surprised. - President Brandon Rhea (Pressroom) (Accomplishments) 17:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
