The Introduction
Hello, everyone! I hope you day has been good thus far. Pleasantries aside, I have made this thread in hopes of raising Normalhuman and Mattalamode to patroller and rollback status respectively. Both have what it takes to fulfill these roles.

The Patroller (Normalhuman)
Although Normalhuman has been a user on here for less than a year, he has quickly proven himself to be a trustworthy and resourceful member of this community. As a master of coding and diplomacy, Normalhuman has what it takes to be a solid addition to the patrollers here.

One of Normalhuman's more noticeable traits is his activity. A quick glance at Wiki Activity and one will notice that Normalhuman is constructively dedicating himself to the wiki everyday. This puts him in a prime position to notice misconducts and other strange happenings, which is fundamentally the job of a patroller.

Normalhuman also happens to be one of the more polite users here. No matter whom he is dealing with, he always remains collected and calm. Frankly, he's a very likable person, which is the type of person one wants when dealing with more troublesome issues. Not one person to my knowledge has anything negative to say about his personality; very respectable in that sense.

Let us not forget just how obliging the guy is. Time and time again, Normalhuman has taken the time out his own day just for the sake of helping the wiki and bettering it. The dedication and passion the guy has for providing solutions to whatever dilemma the wiki may be in is worthy of praise. A patroller should be a person one can go to when help is needed, and Normalhuman is the example of this.

A common counterargument I see against his promotion is that "there are enough patrollers as is." To that, I would like to again highlight Normalhuman's glowing activity. Gameuser10 and Blue Pant. are both very helpful people, but they don't have the same activity that Normalhuman has. Having one patroller with a more reliable activity won't do anybody any harm in my opinion.

With that said,

The Rollback (Mattalamode)
Mattalamode has been here for less than six months, but in that time span, he has proven himself to be a user worthy more of more than what he is given. Hardworking and humble, Mattalamode is perfect material for rollback.

Mattalamode has a very strong work ethic. Whether it be sticking to his schedule with his blog posts even when the odds are against him or doing all the behind-the-scene maintenance work, his dedication to work is impressive and is worthy of rollback status.

This segues nicely into Mattalamode's next strength: his activity. Akin to Normalhuman, Mattalamode is on the wiki nearly everyday: writing plot summaries, fixing galleries, tidying up a page. His persistence is not something to take lightly.

Mattalamode is an all-around responsible guy. Think about it: a rollback is given his/her rights because people find him/her to be very responsible. Mattalamode is one of the most responsible people on this website, his work ethic factoring into this. He isn't the type of person to shelter away from work; he's perfect for the job.

The only thing I can see being used against him is the tired old "We have enough staff." argument. This is not to say that isn't valid in some cases, but given the staff itself is quite small, all varying in activity, I don't believe it is too much to promote one user to rollback.

Once again,
