Requests for adminship:happypal 2

Hello everyone,

I, happypal (talk &bull; contribs), would like to make a formal community request for adminship. This is my second attempt at this. The first attempt is archived here. I decided enough water had passed under the bridge, and the BL2 60 day mark was a perfect date to try again :)

Who am I + What have I done
I'm still the same person, and am still contributing the same way I always have. My skills don't shine when it comes to prosaic content. I rather (IMO) excel at back end template stuff, site architecture, gnoming, extracting data from the game to add as factual content.

My last projects have included :
 * Various maintenance tasks of templates.
 * In depth analysis at the workings of shields.
 * Providing Mechanics to weapon pages.
 * Categorizing of weapons according to the names, , , , as opposed to a raw color-based scheme.
 * Providing these sweet css-based templates that allow easily coloring text AND the link's understrike. (see above)
 * Did some css work for supporting other skins.
 * Imported the css-based plugin that high-lights power-users in the recent edits feeds

My current project is to verify the mechanics of each and every skill in Borderlands. You'd be surprised how often what the skills describe is contrary to what the skill actually does. I'm also researching Critical Hit mechanics.

Most importantly though, I am always active when it comes to participating in the choices taken by the wiki, be they to my liking, or not.

What has changed
I can't say much has changed since the last RfA. There are new faces of course. I guess you could say it just wasn't the time. I hope there will be (even) more users who will support me this time.

Motivation
I have already given a LOT to the wiki. I feel I can give even more, and I could give most as a power user. Most of all, I feel like the wiki will need me, and I will only be able to provide my best work as an admin.

I can't say my administrative goals is "herding users"/"banning trolls" but rather have the privilege of making changes that would otherwise not be permissible to a normal user.

Conflict of interest
Well, I'm still admin over at that wiki, but I haven't (and neither has anyone else) edited it for months. I can't image that changing any time soon.

Closing word
I actually have no idea how to close this RfA. Again, I'll still stick around even if I am turned down. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 14:05, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
