User blog:Sgt D Grif/User Rights Nominations

Hey there everyone, it's Sgt D Grif, and welcome to 2014! We've got high expectations for the continued betterment and expansion of the Wiki as we head into a new year, and part of that expectation includes adding skilled, dependable, and trustworthy users to our staff. Very soon, nominations for Administrator and Bureaucrat rights will be opened on the wiki. We are currently in the process of narrowing down and finalizing the specific criteria for the suggested prerequisites for those user groups. You many notice that I put the word suggested there. RWBY, and by extension, this wiki, is very young still, and there has not been enough time to have some of the desired prerequisites be met by talented users. At some point in the future, we may become much more strict about these prerequisites being necessary, but for now, it isn't in the Wiki's best interested to adamantly stand by them. The prerequisites are still excellent measures to have nominees meet, but if a nominee does not meet them, you'd better be able to prove that they're suited for the rights despite that.

The current plan for the suggested prerequisites for Administrators is the following:
 * Have made at least 400 mainspace edits.
 * Have been active on the wiki for at least five months.
 * Have not been blocked within the last three months.

In order to make the process of nominating users easier, I have added the User Rights Nominations page to the top navigation bar of the Wiki. http://images.wikia.com/rwby/images/1/1f/NominationNavigation.png

This wiki has had incredible growth this past year. As a community, you've shattered my expectations of what we'd achieve, and I am both proud and honored to help lead in the growths we've made. Topping 2013 will be a difficult task, but I'm confident in this wiki and its users (you guys reading this). I was extremely exhausted while writing this blog, so I hope that everything above makes sense, and I apologize if anything is unclear or confusing (especially this sentence here talking about the present in a past tense). Do your thing in the comments section below with any feedback, questions, and whatnot.

Here's to another year on the RWBY Wiki!
