Well I am sure you agree with Shellturtleguy, I knew you would and many people would because he has done much for the wiki and is a nice guy..but feel free to change back DFG. Sometimes I don't have to tell other admins because they would either agree or change it back. Shellturtleguy was the last person I was promoting ever anyway. I also don't think other admins need to see this because they are hardly on and never promote people anyway. But feel free to un-promote Shellturtleguy and Dixon For Governor.

Hey Liam. I noticed you recently promoted [http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/User:Shellturtleguy Shellturtleguy] and [http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dixon_For_Governor Dixon For Governor] to staff members. These two users both work very hard and both deserved it. They do a ton of good edits that help improve this wiki. So, in case either of you are reading this, I want you to know that I support you and say congratulations!

My point however, is I don't think you went about it in the right way. I think that before any big decision, such as a promotion, admins should talk to one another before deciding on their own. One admin might know something that another admin doesn't about a particular user. Also, if admins make decisions on their own without telling each other, there is no communication and can lead to us being misinformed on a certain situation. I think all big decisions should be talked about and approved by at least two admins. It will help keep rules fair and our decisions more or less on the same page.

This message isn't just for you specifically and I hope you don't think I'm singling you out. It was just that you had presented a good reason for me to bring it up. I hope all admins see this message. If not, I will bring it to their attention. If you or anyone else has a question or comment, please let me know. Thanks.

I think you completely misunderstood my message. I thought I made it clear that I agree with both of their promotions. I just think you should have talked to at least one other admin before promoting them.
+
+
You said, "Sometimes I don't have to tell other admins because they would either agree or change it back." I was very confused by this. That is exactly why you would tell another admin. To get their opinion and see if they agree with you or not. If they agree with you, you get confirmation and can continue on with what you were going to do. If not, you can get their opinion why and ask another admin. There are five active admins so you'll never have a tie. I understand that some of the other admins aren't as active as you, but I am on very frequently and will get back to you in a day or two at max.
+
+
Once again, I don't mean for this to point you out specifically. I am merely trying to make this wiki more democratic rather than just one person making the calls. By checking with other admins on big decisions, it helps make this wiki more of a democracy rather than a dictatorship. Thanks for your understanding.
