How to nominate

All nominations must follow a certain style:

I, "Nominator's Username", would like to nominate "Nominee's Username" for adminship.

Reason:
"Reason for nomination goes here."

How is someone promoted?

Nominees are promoted through a tally of votes as well as bureaucrat discretion. A typical nomination period is 2 weeks.

Garry Damrau

I, User:Garry Damrau, would like to nominate User:Garry Damrau for adminiship.

Reason: I have been editing here for about four months and have made contributions most notably on the List of Fable III Properties,Hairstyles,Makeup,Fable III Clothing, and Fable III Weapon Upgrade Guide pages. I have been mindful of any vandalism that I have seen and have either undone it, edited it, or reported it to the ADMIN if it was of obvious malicious intent. I have been active in the Main Article as well as Answers and the new Fanon sections. At first, I may have come off as rude but I feel that I was just stating my opinion in a truthful and well intentioned way. I also have read many of the pages and talk pages both here and on the main Wiki site and believe I more fully understand the "Wiki Way". I have adjusted to the use of UK Commonwealth English although I admit old habits die hard.(Some places accept Color and some want Colour). Let me close by saying "judge me by my contributions".

Questions/Comments

Other users may ask questions here, both to the nominator and nominee.

As to your suggestions let me reply. I agree that my body of work can not compare to those who you mentioned and I have had to find my own way and place to contribute. This was not easy as I have come to this site late in Fable III's life. I also was unsure of what promotion level to enter so I left the form as is. I would be happy to spend more time as merely a contributor or a rollback. To Hobbes in particular, Look at my contributions in the Fable Answers section. With my efforts, and the much appreciated help of others, the percentage of answered questions has risen from around 79% to 91%(Make this 93%).--Garry Damrau(talk) 06:25, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

It has become plainly obvious to me that the use of the adminship title was a gross error. I therefore ask that I be allowed to alter my nomination to Rollback status and ask for a recount.Garry Damrau(talk) 15:54, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

I present my affirmation to Garry Dumrau's request to become administrator on Fable Wikia. I've seen how many administrator's are currently active, and quite frankly, its appauling to see so few. Garry has demonstrated a keenness to this online community, both as contributor to the overall gameplay and understanding of Fable on this wikia page, as well as being a helpful guide in the Fable Fanon page. He has the perspective to be an active, and integral part for the Fable Administrator team, leaving the point mute that he should become an ongoing partner with the happenings within this community.

Oppose

In comparison to the current line-up of users with rollback, Garry Damrau's edits are dwarfed. Alpha Lycos and TheIndifferentist have both made considerably more contributions than the nominee. I oppose his promotion to administrator but would be neutral regarding a promotion to rollback. Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes (Talk) 21:52, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
I'm afraid that I, too, must oppose Garry Damrau's nomination for adminship. As of this posting, he's only been active on this wiki for just shy of three months. Granted, in that time the amount of diligence and dedication he's shown has been commendable, but we've often seen users become active and spend a prodigious amount of time on wiki projects and undertakings, only to become inactive soon thereafter. While I don't mean to imply that Garry Damrau will follow that trend, I would prefer to see him become more 'seasoned.' Clean up some articles, expound on some stubs, and prove your longevity, Garry. And try again in the future. I won't support your nomination now, but I do appreciate all your hard work. TheIndifferentist 21:56, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Neutral

Well I have to say that I feel neutral to Garry Damrau's nomination for adminship at this current time. As others have said, admins are usually editing as a normal user for some time before nominations are made but the work that Garry has carried out and the amount of help he has provided to improve this wiki has been greatly appreciated by myself along with the many others who use them. The fantastic dedication to improving and tidying up the Fable Answers Wiki is also worth noting here. I believe that Garry will be staying as a user for the future however, I feel that it may be a little too soon but I do understand how hard it must be to help edit certain pages further seeing as many of the articles for Fable III have already been made.

To conclude my points made here, even though I do not think it to be time for this nomination for adminship I do think that he may be granted Rollback rights on this wiki and most probably at the Fable Answers Wiki for all the creditable contributions he has made.

Good luck on gaining adminship GD, if not now then later in future and keep up all the good work. WikiaWizard 13:49, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

-The '''Auroran Mine''' is an area which you only gain access to by choosing to betray the promise made to [[Kalin]] during [[Blindness]]. The decision is made after becoming King or Queen during the quest [[Weight of the World]]. The mine most notably contains a legendary weapon; to get this, you must find and activate eight hidden [[Flit Switch]]es.
+==Who not to nominate==
-== Solving the Puzzle ==
+*Anonymous IP users may not be nominated for adminship.
-=== Flit Switch Locations ===
+*Users who have been blocked for more than 12 hours less than one month ago.
-#Enter the mine and go up the first set of steps onto the raised platform. Look to the left, and you will see a ranged flit switch waiting to be shot in its holder on the wall.
+*Someone who is currently nominated.
-#Descend the steps on the other side of the platform and follow the walkway around. Cross the landing near the large statue to where a gap separates the landing from a central platform. Face back towards the entrance to see a flit switch in the stoneworks in the distance.
+*Someone who was nominated and not promoted within the past month.
-#Go down the steps on the other side of the landing. The flit switch is stuck in the pillar to the left of the steps. There is also a chest right next to it.
-#Follow the walkways down beside the statue, and the next flit switch can be seen underneath the central platform in front of the statue.
-#Continue along the lower level, and follow the walkway back up. A melee flit switch can be found in the corner of the next level at the bottom of a ramp.
-#Head up the ramp and turn left onto the landing at the top. In the middle of this landing is a small roofed structure held up by four pillars – a ranged flit switch can be found stuck into the underside of the ceiling. There is also a chest nearby.
-#Go across the landing and find a wooden walkway in the darkness that connects to the next platform. The next flit switch is in the pillar on the left as you reach the end of the walkway.
-#Continue across this platform and pass under the scaffolding on the left to reach a lower level landing. Follow it around to the right and you will see the final flit switch in its holder on the side of the pillar ahead. There is also a chest underneath it.
-===The Central Platform===
+==How to nominate==
+All nominations must follow a certain style:
-After activating each flit switch, they will each make their way to a receptacle on the central platform in front of the statue. Return to the landing where you shot switches 2 and 3 and light the braziers beside the gap with the Fireball Gauntlet. A bridge will extend to allow you to reach the central platform. Open the chest there, then stand on the raised dais. Use a surround spell with large enough range to hit all of the flit switches at once. Note that the Shock and Blades spells are not suitable for this, as each flit switch must be hit at the same time. Force Push is most effective.
+<pre>
-When all flit switches have been hit, you are able to pass across the new bridge in front of you and recover a rare [[Weapons (Fable III)|Legendary Weapon]] from the chest.
+=="Nominee's Username"==
+I, "Nominator's Username", would like to nominate "Nominee's Username" for adminship.
+Reason:
-===Glitches===
+"Reason for nomination goes here."
-A glitch can occur during the surrond spell where, even if all switches have been hit at once, the bridge does not extend and the switches return to the floor. There is no known fix for it. It has been suggested that leaving the mine and returning at a later time will solve the problem, but this does not always work either.
