Captain Hayden wrote: After much deliberation, I have finally come to a choice. Of course we have two outstanding users who are candidates, Banarama and Patrik. They each have their ups and downs. Of course Banarama is far more experienced. He's been on the wiki through nearly all of the eras and kept his staff position the longest. He is currently the only staff member who also survived the purges of long ago. He has provided a large amount of aesthetic changes that have severely improved the wiki and has definitely earned the right to become a bureaucrat.

On the other hand, there is Patrik. He may be the new kid on the block but he is one of the fastest learners of code I have ever seen and is always willing to learn more. He shows an outstanding attention to detail and makes sure to stay in the loop with all current events. He always edits/moves conception pages constantly, making sure the wiki stays up to par.

Of course for every upside, there is a downside. For Patrik's case, he is much newer. He is obviously still learning the ropes and has not had an experience of how to lead through many different scenarios.

For Banarama, it's his lack of activity compared to his competition. He has been on hiatus for over a year now and does not edit a lot of content/move pages anymore or clean up many articles. He also seems to not speak directly with users like Patrik does.

I also have had the experience of working with them where they were Bureaucrats on different wikis. Banarama's wiki was neglected it seems, as many pages now are a complete disaster. Sure the user base wasn't necessarily as old as it is here but, there seems to be no effort put into the wiki (Of course everyone can be busy with life)

Patrik on the otherhand, has basically mirrored what happens on the Diep wiki and applied it to the Moomoo wiki, giving it a whole new life it seems.

As it stands right now, I would be happy with either choice but, I think the exuberance of Patrik has really sold me. I vote TheGoldenPatrik1 as my choice for bureaucrat I have been off hiatus for some time now. The code is still unreviewed however
