Ever since Cocopuff founded SkyWiki, he has been active in reverting vandalism and helping users with their wikis. However, he is also quite the controversial figure in the wiki world - from allegations of vandalizing his own wikis for years to leaking user data, he's been at the forefront of a lot of drama. Eventually, this ended up culminating in Cocopuff formally resigning as Steward in favor of being a Global Administrator, only to declare that he would not resign a mere hour later; thus, I'm making this RfP to let the community decide if Cocopuff should continue in any community role (he is still Global Administrator at the time this RfP was made).

=== Statement from candidate ===
I would like to begin by extending my sincerest apologies to the community for my shortcomings in leadership. I have found it necessary to step back on several occasions due to the drama and pressure I have experienced. Despite facing harassment and bullying from certain community members, I have persevered in my commitment to serve this community. Today, I wish to clarify my position and provide reasons why I believe I should continue as a steward.

Firstly, I would like to address the evidence presented against me, which I believe is insufficient. Many users utilize Samsung devices, and I have been wrongly accused of being another individual. It is important to note that user agents do not provide a complete picture. Additionally, I have a deep passion for serving Skywiki, having been involved since its inception. My dedication to this project is evident, as I have invested significant effort, particularly in addressing vandalism and managing requests.

If I were to be removed from my role as steward, I fear that Skywiki would experience a decline, and requests would not be handled as promptly. I have consistently encouraged our staff to prioritize request management and have accomplished a great deal in my capacity as steward. While I acknowledge that I have made mistakes in the past, I am committed to self-improvement and to continuing my service to the community.

I recognize that some of the evidence against me may not hold validity, in my humble opinion. I am aware that my past actions have not always reflected the best judgment, and I am eager to take the necessary time to grow and improve. My dedication to Skywiki spans nearly two years, and I genuinely love what I do. I wish to demonstrate to the community my remorse for my previous actions and my commitment to making positive changes.

I would like to express that I have been subjected to multiple attempts aimed at damaging my reputation. I believe that if such attempts occur again, it is essential for me to continue in my role as steward. My commitment to personal growth and to the community motivates my request to remain in this position --[[User:Cocopuff2018|Cocopuff2018]] ([[User talk:Cocopuff2018|talk]]) 23:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

#<p>So, I'll start by saying that Cocopuff requested via Discord that I vote in this request (though he did <strong>not</strong> request that I vote in a particular manner). My understanding of the accusations is not firsthand, and if I am being frank they do not come from people whose credibility I can readily evaluate or with whom I have prior experience.</p><p>I am of two minds. The first is that Skywiki is Cocopuff's invention, and I don't think it has grown to the Wikipedia tipping point where [[w:Jimmy Wales|the (co-)creator]] is no longer the owner of the project. That woudld suggest supporting Coco's request.</p><p>On the other hand, I am not in love with the statement. "I will improve" is a lot more convincing when the person is specific about what went wrong... And the diva quit followed by turning around and revoking your resignation is less than impressive, and goes completely unaddressed in the statement.</p><p>So my heart says support. My head says oppose. I land in '''neutral'''.</p>If this passes, my advice to Cocopuff is to be careful and remember that [[w:Wikipedia:You are not irreplaceable|you are not irreplaceable]]. None of us are. Be kind, be honest, be open, and don't bite off more than you can chew. And my advice to the community: If you don't like how Skywiki is being run, talk to Coco or whoever is in charge. Explain – politely! – your concerns. And if all else fails, you don't have to contribute to Skywiki. You are all volunteers, and you can help improve other wikis.

i  am nominating globe for Steward because he has a descent amount of experience and has helped out sky-wiki in the past. not only does he have experience but has helped out multiple platforms such as testwiki and is Fairly active Within that community, he has also been active Within the discord server for sky wiki and has shown interest In helping out. While not all of our Stewards are active globe can actively help us out with request, Since only Three of the stewards are active  and the rest are  semi active, we are actively growing and could use another Steward to assist with our growth, Within the last few weeks we have has a decent amount of growth and  globe Is Familiar with how to use the functions and tools Available within Steward, he has been a Steward previously in the past however has stepped down.

:Your response proves both of my points, unfortunately. Firstly, you didn’t format your response as a reply. (Add a : in front) Additionally it was very difficult to read/understand. I have no idea what “ I'll was no more  experience of general mediawiki.” means. Communication and MW knowledge is essential as a steward, but I do not have confidence in you for either.

I'm predicting this is going to be how it usually goes, and I get it. But just because the meteor wiped out all the dinosaurs doesn't mean there wasn't going to be new life. This also isn't because I had a heart attack over certain events ''(cough cough the incident in the Discord server where this guy was spamming slurs cough cough)'' but I want to help people and feel like my life is less worthless than a Summer Ant. And so I will apply for Global Patroller.
