Note: This topic has been unedited for 1827 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not add to unless it really needs a response.

So here I am to run for admin. My strengths are:

1. Living in a different time zone (JST) from most of other active users, making it possible for me to cover Uncyclopedia when others aren't around.
2. Experience. I'm a CVT on Miraheze and an admin and/or a crat on several Illogicopedias and Uncyclopedias. I have made proposals regarding the abuse filter in the past, and the discussion actually helped creating filters to prevent spammers from posting spams.
3. Although some may say being an admin on Uncyclopedia 2.0 might be a disadvantage (as seen here), I think it the opposite. There have been users being an admin on both uncyclopedia.co and uncyclowikia in the past, and having permissions on both wikis will help these two wikis compete in a creative way, rather than in a disruptive way of mutual vandalism, which has been a problem between the two Polish Uncyclopedias on Wikia and Miraheze these days and I don't want to have between the two (or, perhaps, three, if you consider Uncyclowikia) Uncyclopedias.
4. Language skills. Being a Japanese native, I can understand several different languages. It can help me serve as your humble ambassador when necessary.

Special:log/rights tells me that you guys need more active admins, and I'm ready for it.--The Pioneer 14:27, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Vote

Score: -4

1.  Against. While The Pioneer does seem to know his way around the administrative side of things, his heavy involvement with Uncyclopedia2.0 and Miraheze does raise concerns of potential COI. While I am aware that users have been active in administrative roles across multiple projects, whether it be related to Uncyclopedia or Wikia or whatever really, creating stuff like this (wayback machine version) on the Wikia site, of whom we are trying to better relations with, akin to borderline advertising the Uncyclopedia2.0 site does concern me somewhat. There's also the contentious issue, as Roza mentioned below, of The Pioneer's relationship with the Japanese community which is also evidenced by this Discord log, though I'm willing to hear The Pioneer's side of the story on this one. With this in mind, I don't think it would be right for us to promote The Pioneer at this time. -- Lost Labyrinth • (t) • (c) • (a) 23:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
   • First of all, that article was something I created to make satire of the wiki, and I have this version here, too. It was simply an attempt to create articles on both wikis, nothing more, nothing less. I should also note that it was I who made a deal with them on the forum not to import main contents, which I also did with you guys on Discord.
   • Secondly, the thing you did by uploading that image is that you are feeding a troll. This user, who claims to be "a government in exile of the Japanese Uncyclopedia," tries to attack both Japanese Uncyclopedias, claiming the original one is corrupted and our fork is a dictatorship (see here). It looks like the user has a twitter account and a discord account, but doesn't seem to have an account on both wikis (which essentially makes the user an outsider). As I said on that image, I'm open to negotiations, and if I were truly a dictator, I would have already kicked or banned him, which I didn't so far, and will not as long as the user can negotiate in a peaceful manner.--The Pioneer 01:44, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

     I didn't actually see the version of the article on this site, so fair enough on that point. Secondly, I apologise if I gave off the impression that I was "feeding a troll". For what it's worth I was not the one who took the screenshot, I merely just cited it as evidence in relation to the issues regarding the Japanese site. I have read your explanation and I'll withdraw my statement on the situation.

     That being said, I'm still concerned regarding the possible conflict of interest regarding Uncyclopedia2.0, so I am changing my vote to Abstain. -- Lost Labyrinth • (t) • (c) • (a) 07:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

• Comment. ...and I'm also ready to serve Krabby Patties for our Vote for Sandwiches.--The Pioneer 14:27, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
• Comment. Before I can decide on a vote, can you clarify the issue you have with a member of the Japanese Uncyclopedia community? – roza^☭ 20:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
  • If you are talking about the issues between the fork and the original, I'd have to say that they are almost completely split, with virtually no relations (historically speaking, the founder, トーダイン, claims that he couldn't create an account on the original Uncyclopedia because of their massive range blocks, such as the ones seen here). However, one of our admins has the admin permission on both sides, and he can make contact with the other side, if necessary.--The Pioneer 01:44, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Added link.--The Pioneer 01:47, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Withdrawal

 Delete this stoned nonsense. Per what everyone said, and this. I guess I'm treated as one of those vandals, which is not my will. I... just thought it was trending seeing that two out of three former self-noms have succeeded, but yeah. I can wait.--The Pioneer 10:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
