Sandwichman2448

I think I would make a good Watchdog. I have deleted vandalism on the upwards of some occasions and enjoy staring at the Recent changes page. I have also never vandalized anything to date. --Sandwichman2448 15:31, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

Accepted! You're honest and you do your best. Welcome to the team :) User:Kirkburn/Sig3 23:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

DuTempete

Well, I'm at least semi-active, and currently perform many of the functions of a watchdog but with out the extra permissions, as can be seen in my contributions. I'm also active within the warlock project, which I, in a sense, oversee. -- DuTempete talk|contr 22:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I know we can trust your edits :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 08:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Sharlin

Pick me! Pick me! Me! Me!

Man, you gotta warn somebody before you crack one like that. My mouth was open and everything.

Oh, I am supposed to be saying why I should be on this team, well I am afflicted with ADD but isn't that the prettiest flower you ever saw?

Yeah, well there was this dragon you see, and he was all huffy about some edits someone made, and "hey, look daddy! rocketship"

--User:Sharlin/Sig 16:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure! You're often around and we can trust your edits (whether or not we agree on some stuff) :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 08:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Gourra

I got asked by Fandyllic to join the Watchdogs, so here is my application.

I usually check out the recent changes when I'm not doing anything else, and look out for vandalism and other edits.

Ose

Well, I do spend a lot of time on the RC looking for suspicious stuff, might as well apply for this . I've been around for a while and feel i'm quite familiar with how the wiki (and the people here) works. --Ose^{Talkz / Contribz} 17:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Though your number of main namespace edits is relatively low (but fairly high number overall), a fair few of those edits deal with reversions. Plus, known from IRC. Welcome to the team. :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 19:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Coobra

Was asked by Fandyllic if I'd like to join the Watchdogs, so here I am.

I'd like to help patrol and keep the wiki clean. -- Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! ^{{TDon't hiss at me.•CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.)} 22:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Many many trusted edits, lots of maintenance related edits, have made use of the revert tool. Sounds good to me :) Kirkburn  talk  contr 14:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Figured i should make it official.Warthok Talk Contribs 21:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Eirik Ratcatcher

Much like Coobra, Fandyllic suggested I sign up here. He's on sabbatical atm; I'm content to wait until he is back, if you wish. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

How on earth are you not already a patroller? Grats. --k_d³ 02:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Keilden

I would try out being a watchdog since i spend some time around this wiki and check the recent changes almost everyday. I don't have so much experience in editing wikis but everyone can't be a master from the start:) --Keilden 03:52, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

How do i know if i have been accepted btw? :) (Keilden 12:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC))

They'll let you know in your talk page. However, I don't think anyone's watching this application page. Pzychotix 13:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Elbonio

I am looking to apply to be watchdog admin on WoWWiki - mainly because I'm a stickler for things being up to date and correct and am looking to become more active on the WoWWiki to make this so. I'm offering my services to keep a watchful eye over the wiki and make sure things are not vandalised and are kept up-to-date etc.

Let me know if you need me or not. --Elbonio 14:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

If there's room for another watchdog, I would be interested in giving assistance. If you have other areas that are more in need, plug me in where I can be of some use. :)

Hytoma

This account may be a new membership, but I think I would be a great asset to your team. I have been playing WoW for a very long time now and also have been a fan from the Warcraft RTS games from the original.

I have a passion for making sure that articles and posts are clear, concise and non-offending. I find enjoyment out of proof reading and edit articles that come from the everyday gamer. It also brings a smile to my face when I can think that I helped a gamer get his voice out about something they know and obviously care about. If a person didn't care about this game all that much, they wouldn't want to post here and just come here to try and get an extra tip on how to complete a raid.

I have been navigating through the site and I think that you guys have been doing a bang up job keeping it neat and tidy, and I would really like to help you out with that. The amount of users that come to this page much be huge, and must be really hard to keep up with.

I have experience with online editing and moderation for websites that handle huge amounts of members. My most current experience was with GotFrag.com when I was an editor and moderator of the forums. I would get projects assigned to me regularly and I always had them finished ahead of schedule, when a CPL event was on, I was called upon frequently to edit pages that had a very tight timeline to be put up on the main page. I had also written a couple articles for that page before I decided that it was time to move on. As a moderator, it was up to me to make sure that anybody posting was keeping it with in the rules of the board, but also responding to requests from users receiving private hate messages.

I really hope to hear from you soon,

Phil Johnston

Olebrum

Ok, I know I haven't been a member for long, but I feel I have a lot to contribute to WoWWiki, I haven't posted a lot of edits, but since I'm all new as a member, I'm not quite sure where to look for faults. I'm not signing this application just to _be_ a watchdog, but to learn more about WoWWiki and how things work, and to contribute with all that I can. If this application by some mysterious way get declined, is it still possible to send in a new one when I have experienced what ever needed to be experienced to be a watchdog? And please, for my non-ignorance, post a "explainable" decline if so! -- Olebrum 15:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello! For someone to become a watchdog we need to know that we will agree with the majority of their edits - if you edit more and follow the tune of the wiki I don't see why not. Once you've edited a fair few main namespace articles then feel free to reapply. (Of course, don't feel pressured to edit articles as a result of this) Kirkburn  talk  contr 08:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Bajo

Hi, I'd like to help, I usually spend an hour or so on the wiki every day, and keep refreshing the Recent changes page out of boredom due to slow downloads I get with dial up, so I'm usually able to revert DNP and vandalism as soon as they're posted during that time...so?

I didn't know where to put it, got confused with so many sections, and I didn't know what did you mean by Prospective in the name of this section, why not just put Pending applications? -- Bajo 15:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Kirkburn will decide your fate! :) --Sky (t · c · w) 08:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I am unsure, due to the low number of edits you have made so far, and the low number that have dealt with problems. I'm not going to close this with a "deny", but I would prefer to see more activity before making a decision. Kirkburn  talk  contr 17:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do my best...Bajo 18:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

So, did you make up your mind, Kirkburn? :) -- Bajo 18:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to speak for Kirkburn, but I'm sure he'd like his watchdogs to have at least 100 edits, and thats what he meant by such a low count.

Considered you have less than 50 contributions the latest 2 months, I don't think you're going to be accepted.--g0urra[T҂C] 21:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I am cooperative and I HATE bad wikis. -- Darkness will fall! (talk) 01:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Despite your setting, I don't think you'll get accepted with just 7 edits in 9 days. You'll have to work harder.--g0urra[T҂C] 21:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I would like to be part of this organization. I always have the recent changes open when I'm on WoWWiki, by watching it I revert bandalism, correct new pages or other users edits if I can and move fanfic to their respective userspace. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 19:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
