Forum:Blue's promotion to Moderator

THIS VOTE WILL RUN FROM THE 17TH OF JULY (11:15PM EST), TO THE 31ST OF JULY (11:59PM EST).

Hi everyone, my username is Blue_August and I'm here to present a case as to why I should become a Moderator. (> - ^.^ -)> 23:15, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

the person
I've started contributing on this wiki since 2011 as an anon when I started playing CA. It was a year later that I made my account in order to interact with the community. In my time here, I've seen many changes erected, and worked with many of you to enact those changes. While I am now considered a veteran of the game and of the wiki, I admit that there are still things that I am not knowledgeable of and am guilty of doing incorrectly. However, I do my best to immerse myself and learn what needs to be done, as to not repeat my mistakes. (There will be a grand version coming at a later date for another purpose)

the contributions
I am a GIF animator for the wiki, an occasional grammar nazi, a Kirby, and I can be seen patrolling the wiki fixing miscellaneous things that seem to be out of place. I often help out other users by fulfilling requests or answering questions. In doing all of this, I have learned to understand and use the wiki code, as well as getting to know many fine contributors.

Now, due to the fact that precedents have required editing count to appear somewhere, I declare that I currently have around 3800 edits on this wiki. I will admit that a good number of those edits are images that I've uploaded, as well as the result of fulfilling the occasional category changes; they are many minor changes that inflate my count. However, I have (within this bloated belt) made many serious edits. This includes in-dept article rewrites, the creation and update of pages, removing stubs, and the addition of "References" to official news page (which ironically hasn't been done on this wikia).

the intention
To combat vandals and help settle disputes, first and foremost. My personal viewpoint is that a Moderator is no different than an editor with more usable buttons to assist others, despite what others may say. As such, I believe moderating is best in moderation, for one could still be a great editor even without Moderator status. I hope to maintain an open and friendly atmosphere for everyone here with the passing of this proposition.

The Verdict
Here, I ask you to weigh your decision for my promotion, and sign it with ~. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section, and I will attempt to answer them to the best of my ability.
