Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Yunzhong Hou

+Administrator
I am a sysop on the Future Wikia and as thus I am representing the wikia in asking whether or not I may transport some of the information regarding futurology and predictions to Wikibooks. I've made over a thousand contributions on the Future Wikia and I have had experience as an admin and bureaucrat on the Future Wikia for several months. I am thus planning to greatly expand the wikibook on Futurology (which seems to have around a dozen pages at this point) to possibly hundreds of pages on a variety of futuristic topics. You can go check out my edits and the general page quality at the future wikia.

If it's agreeable to you, I'd also like to apply for admin status on Wikibooks as well. I've made plenty of contributions to the Starcraft wikibook some time ago as well. Thank you.--Yunzhong Hou


 * Against Hello, I said some of this on the Staff Lounge when you brought up the subject, then I realized tha we posted pretty much at the same time. The main thing is, you don't need Admin powers to make a book here, and unfortunatly, I feel that you have not demonstrated that you understand current policy. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but I didn't see to many edits pertaining to policy, or reverts and other cleanup tasks that Admins are asked around here to do. You can get started with that by doing some RC patroling, or hanging around the IRC to catch vandals. Nonetheless, I wish for good luck with your projects, and hope you hang around enough to complete a Futurology book (as long as it follows policy of course) --Dragontamer 04:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Good to have you as an editor I'm sure (who I'm sure will learn the policies) but insufficient experience on this wiki.  Because they are all wikis it does not mean they are the same.  I may have thought that but I'm leaning! -- Herby  talk thyme 08:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- no real contributions in the project namespace at all... why do you want admin tools? Requesting bureaucratship makes me wonder if you understand how things work on wikibooks as well. Hang out for a while and help out with non-admin maintenance stuff so we can get to know you a bit. -- SB_Johnny | talk 13:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Given no further views expressed over a week this is closed as failed -- Herby talk thyme 12:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikibooks policy allow Bureaucrats to only be picked from a pool of existing Wikibook Administrators, so I believe this is enough to have your request to become one closed without a need for a vote. --dark [[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]] lama 04:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Against Bureaucrats are the highest post you can get here. Maybe after a few months of being an Admin and demonstrate you have a grasp of your Admin tools, policy and so forth, you can be a B-Cat. But you aren't even an admin yet. --Dragontamer 04:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose per my comments above -- Herby talk thyme 08:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Given the votes casts (by two existing admins) and particularly the policy quoted above this request is closed as failed. -- Herby talk thyme 08:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
