Autumn Promotions 2022
See Promotion-Procedure and Promotions-Policy for how these promotions will be generally handled.
These are votes of confidence. If you are unfamiliar or on the fence about someone, vote NO. Only vote yes if the candidate has your confidence and genuinely feels ready for promotion in your mind.
Please post even if you are abstaining from voting.
Staff may abstain from voting on all votes. If more than one third of staff abstain on a user, and/or less than 60 per cent of voters say yes, this is treated as a no. We will be rounding down.
Operational Staff Voting:
This is an open vote for operational staff and above.
Below is a group of suggestions regarding JUNIOR STAFF who Team Captains have nominated to be voted upwards to OPERATIONAL STAFF. Please read the commentary provided in order to help your judgement regarding these staff. If you feel they have displayed readiness, vote yes. If they are not ready, vote no; please explain your reasoning.

|
| Junior Staff Member: |
 Alexander the Jar |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST ( Siddartha Alonne and  torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
Alex has been a very consistent member of MAST with lots of good work to show. They're a consistent contributor to O5 Updating and a proactive presence in Sandbox Cleaning, summarized more than 100 tales for Collections, and is always ready to pitch in where needed. They're consistently involved in discussion with staff in general about ongoing site events and site policy. In the past, they've overstepped their role in the spirit of getting things done and helping out, but that behavior has been tempered in the past three or so months. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
Don't spread yourself too thin and keep on the path that you're currently on. You've been good about it lately, but make sure you stay aware of what should get input from others. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 Crow-Cat |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
Crow-Cat has been a tagging powerhouse for months - over 200 pages tagged in the last 3 months. We believe this type of good, consistent work deserves recognition and promotion. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
Staying in your bubble is fine, but try to get involved in general staff discussion. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 Ethagon |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
Ethagon has been a consistent contributor to both Sandbox Cleaning and Tagging with regular sweeps of the sandbox, 50 pages tagged, and numerous pages re-tagged and corrected. We believe this type of good, consistent work deserves recognition and promotion. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
We've seen you stepping out into staff discussion more lately, try to keep that up. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 NebulousStar |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
To put it lightly, Neb has been working tirelessly to make sure everything under their control is working just perfectly. They're one of the most active JS of this promotions cycle, have consistent activity in every team they're in, and has always shown to be open to suggestions. They've even guided the temporary MAST licenseboxing team as Section Head. We believe they're absolutely ready to be an OS. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
Don't take on too much. Your passion is admirable, and we don't want to lose that through burnout. While we appreciate you're very polite and open to others, we feel you should learn to put your foot down more. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
NebulousStar |
| Captain/Team: |
Licensing ( Elenee FishTruck) |
| Why: |
Neb has done a lot of good work, they're a great communicator and attentive to the licensing email. Nebulous is keen to learn about our processes and what we need to do to make them better. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
The areas for improvement for Nebulous are more related to more over-arching Licensing issues - their individual areas of improvement will come out as we work through that, and I am confident we can plan and address them. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 psychicprogrammer |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
While Psy hasn't been on staff for long, we feel they're already a suitable candidate due to their incredible amount of work in such a short time. They've been a huge hand in tagging - considering they joined just before 7kon exactly for helping in tagging entries. MAST work aside, their work on policy and the handling of the age unraising discussion, and their contributions to the creation of staff induction page confirm to us they're ready to become OS. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
None at this time - be sure to have good pacing, avoid burnout and be a good example to other JS. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
psychicprogrammer |
| Captain/Team: |
CO ( WhiteGuard) |
| Why: |
Psychicprogrammer has done exceptional work while on CO's Data Analysis team. They have been instrumental in gathering data and producing collection methods. They have been in this community for some time now and have proven to me that they are a consistent and proven staff member and as such have gained my vote of confidence. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
I see potential in them and would like to see them step up into a leadership role for their group and encourage work to be produced similar to their own. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 Ralliston |
| Captain/Team: |
Licensing (Elenee FishTruck) |
| Why: |
Ralliston has done an immense amount of tedious, detail-oriented work with license boxes, and would be a great staff addition. I anticipate they will be helpful in streamlining license box process. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
The areas for improvement for Ralliston are more related to more over-arching Licensing issues - their individual areas of improvement will come out as we work through that, and I am confident we can plan and address them. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 SketchyTh0ughts |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
Sketchy has been a consistent tagger, and has been involved in multiple special tagging projects such as applying character tags and retagging approximately 90 rewritten articles. They've grown into their role as a staff member, and we think that a little more responsibility will only help them to grow further. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
None at this time. Keep up the good work. |
| Junior Staff Member: |
 winkwonkboi |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
Winkwonkboi has been a productive member of staff for quite some time. He's a prolific and accurate tagger, but also keeps an eye out for incorrect tagging. Outside of MAST, he's generally helpful to new users - commenting on new articles and helping others to understand their resources. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
Try to be more reachable and easily contactable. You're steady and consistent - keep it up. |
To Moderator:
This is an open vote for operational staff and above.
Below is a suggestion regarding OPERATIONAL STAFF MEMBER whose Captain has nominated to be voted upwards to MODERATOR. Please read the commentary provided by Team Captain in order to help your judgement regarding these staff. If you feel they have displayed readiness, vote yes. If they are not ready, vote no; please explain your reasoning.
| Operational Staff Member: |

| Captain/Team: |
|
| Why: |
|
| Optional areas of improvement: |
|
| Operational Staff Member: |
torcsandantlers |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne) |
| Why: |
Needless to say, Torc has been an unstoppable force in policy works and is currently leading the policy tree-making with the help of other staff members. MAST owes them a lot as its co-captain, as an impeccable leader of sandbox cleaning, a consistent member of 05 Updating and an active member for deletion, which really needs more active deleters. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
N/A |
| Operational Staff Member: |
Cassandra_Prime does not match any existing user name |
| Captain/Team: |
MAST (Siddartha Alonne and torcsandantlers) |
| Why: |
In this cycle, I think Cassandra has been the most hard-working OS ever since they were recruited. They've been invested in policy-making, co-heading sandbox cleaning - in which they have also introduced the schedule system - being an active and good MAST vice-captain; to not talk about Contact Staff being rewritten by them (this is also a reminder for anyone who hasn't given her Lead Liaisons) and, most importantly, her role as a deletion member, which as stated above needs more active deleters. |
| Optional areas of improvement: |
Similar to Neb, you have good initiative, but need to set your foot down more. |
Vote YES or NO. Someone who you are ambivalent to should not receive your vote of confidence for staff, thus abstain or vote no. If you don't know who someone is, then please educate yourself and get to know their work before voting.
