Sneakyranger Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Ckey/BYOND Username: SneakyRanger Position Being Applied For: (Wiki Maintainer, Lore Developer, Deputy Lore developer): Wiki Maintainer Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page? Yes, though it seems far more relevant for a lore position than a wiki maintenance one outside of a few areas. Past Experiences/Knowledge: I very briefly maintained the wiki for CMSS13 several years ago in a position of grammar corrections and flow improvements. Examples of Past Work: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Sneakyranger Additional Comments: I was hesitant about making a wiki maintainer application for a variety of reasons, and I'd prefer to list the most pressing one here to be completely clear on what I'm offering: I have no idea how long my activity will keep up and make no promises in that regard. While I am the kind of person more inclined to a steady workflow rather than bouts of hyperactivity with long slumps, I cannot guarantee that I will be on board for the long haul - though I must add that it isn't impossible, either. The reason I did end up going ahead and submitting an application is equally relevant, in my opinion. Firstly, a discussion with Chada about how guaranteed activity isn't really necessary for the position if one is willing to resign assuaged my primary concern. Secondly, it occurred to me that as I do desire to continue making wiki edits for the moment, it would be far more convenient for everyone involved if I simply had maintainer access rather than spreading the work across both myself as the editor and someone else as the reviewer; this is especially the case given that most of my edits so far have been highly numerous small ones.
Marlon P. Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Youre not one already? You do a crazy lot of work. Like i need a lunch break just reading all the work you have done between me checking wiki_maint on discord. +1 no brainer
Caelphon Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 You have done many changes to the wiki, and done so efficiently. I give my support for this application.
Gem Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 sneaky is active in the community and does cool contributions, they are definitely a good fit for the role imo. +1
EJJ Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Sneaky's done a ton of work without being a wiki maintainer as is and has cleaned up a lot of pages. I think the fella's more than fit for the role! +1
Burrito Justice Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Firstly, my apologies for not getting to this application sooner. I had said I would give it a look earlier (exactly one month ago, in fact. good grief) and somehow didn't. My bad. Secondly, as mentioned by Chada, there's not exactly a set time you're expected to contribute to the wiki for: if you joined the team to make one edit and leave then I'd think that would be weird but it's not really any skin off of my back, and that's not what you're applying for anyway, so all good there. And I can jive with the part about just being given the ability to contribute to the wiki without needing a maintainer's permission, heck that's why I signed up the first and second time, even. Anyways, I have no problems with this application and look forward to seeing you on the team. This has my approval.
