Operational Staff Candidates:
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.

| Junior Staff Member: | |
| Captain/Team: | Licensing ( |
| Why: | Celeste Etoile has done large amounts of work on our CC 4.0 cataloguing project and essentially headed the Images subteam for some time now. They have shown great promise by taking initiative and successfully managing limited resources. |
| Optional areas of improvement: | N/A |
| Junior Staff Member: | |
| Captain/Team: | MAST ( |
| Why: | Espy is a consistent, exceptional staff member with a great eye for detail and fantastic skillset for improving processes to keep information as up to date as possible. They're also a great asset on Discord moderation, and I look forward to seeing them grow into other areas where their attention and innovation will be a great help. |
| Optional areas of improvement: | Don't be afraid to suggest better processes or methods for keeping information up to date or policy improvements! You have great ideas. |
| Junior Staff Member: | |
| Captain/Team: | Curations ( |
| Why: | Locke has been the driving force behind the Curation team initiative to replace non-compliant images. Not only are they coordinating across people and teams to source new images, but they've also put a significant amount of work into creating new ones. If we want a website that is fully CC compliant, Locke is our person. Come on. Vote. Do it. |
| Optional areas of improvement: | N/A |
| Junior Staff Member: | |
| Captain/Team: | Licensing ( |
| Why: | SynthPanda has been a consistently helpful member of licensing. Her significant contributions to clearing the massive backlog of _image tagged works and our CC 4.0 cataloguing project demonstrate her hardworking spirit. |
| Optional areas of improvement: | N/A |
Administrator Candidates:
This is an open vote for operational staff and above.
Below is a suggestion regarding an Operational Staff member who the Administrator Team has nominated to be voted upwards to Administrator. Please read the commentary provided in order to help your judgement regarding these staff.
| Staff Member: | |
| Captain/Team: | Admin Team |
| Why: | In her short time with us, Ari has proven herself to be nothing short of exceptional. She was handed the reins of the Discord team following an upheaval in their structure which she has navigated with ease. Her work in reforming and rebuilding this team has been exceptional, and has resulted in the official SCP discord being one of the best managed and most active offsite spaces. Beyond that, she has remained a consistent voice in policy discussions, offering a unique viewpoint that keeps the userbase in mind. The admin team is in need of this voice, and as such we've elected to put her forth for promotion to site administrator. |
| Optional areas of improvement: | N/A |
Vote YES or NO. Someone who you are ambivalent to should not receive your vote of confidence for staff, thus abstain or no. If you don't know who someone is, then I invite you to educate yourself and get to know their work before voting.
