Questions

Just as with the other RFA, I think that Glass's question are out of order and shouldn't be answered. Additionally, I think this has risen to the point of disruption, eerily like we saw with Rotten just last week. Dennis - 2¢ 23:23, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, this is getting disruptive. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 23:29, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Note: NE Ent removed Eating Glass Is Bad's questions from Sam's RfA. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 23:32, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

@NE Ent and Eating Glass Is Bad: Please, you two, discuss it here before someone violates WP:3RR. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 23:50, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

• I have posted a warning on their talk page. I will not condone belittling of the Holocaust in this way, comparing it to WP editing is distasteful to say the least. If ever they make an edit like this again, I will indef block them, co;e from it what may. --Randykitty (talk) 00:03, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm pretty sure that violating Godwin's Law in any way during RFA is a sanctionable offense. While I hope it doesn't get to that point, I maintain the questions are so inherently disruptive as to be void here, and should be removed. Dennis - 2¢ 00:20, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Uncollapsed discussion

The collapsing of discussion in the Oppose section disrupted the numbering, so I've restored it. Better to move it to the talk page if you want. --Stfg (talk) 12:24, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that the numbering is not correct; I see 3 votes, but only 1 vote on the counter, and I can't find the issue that is causing the counting error. Steel1943 (talk) 14:10, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

The counter on my RfA hasn't updated for a while either. Sam Walton (talk) 14:46, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Discussion about Bloom6132's oppose

I have moved the following from the oppose section to stop it from interfering with the vote numbering. It was originally in reply to Bloom6132's oppose. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 10:51, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Hatting a lot of words, none of which really have much to do with our candidate. Drmies (talk) 02:07, 29 November 2014 (UTC) The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

1. Interesting - can you prove that Czar really did do this mainly for the WikiCup, or is there a possibility he was working on content elsewhere and just didn't get round to it? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:55, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Thanks for the badgering – was kinda expecting it from his personal brigade. The candidate actually admitted here that he "thought it wouldn't be a problem to just do it at once so I didn't miss anything", another poignant example of poor judgment. His hidden submissions are content creations, so stop trying to make up a sob story for him claiming that his work is unrelated to the Cup. He got into the final (unfairly) because he was working on content, not in spite of it. Sorry to burst your bubble fanboys – truth hurts, doesn't it? —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:23, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Characterizing a single response to your oppose as "badgering" from the candidate's "fanboy" "brigade" speaks more about you than it does about them. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 14:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Not at all. I supported Samwalton9's RFA bid and no one gave two f**ks about that, let alone reply to my vote. But the instant anyone opposes and dares to reveal any true but damning evidence, fanboys like you and Ritchie come jumping all over me. Thanks for proving that double standard! —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:56, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Woah, hang on - I just wanted more information. I'm not a big fan of cups and contests myself, although I've had a go at some minor ones, ultimately I feel they get in the way of straightforward content work that is done purely for personal satisfaction. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   "I just wanted more information" – um, no. I already provided two diffs in my initial oppose statement that detailed exactly what the candidate did, and yet you persisted in challenging my statement with [C]an you prove that Czar really did do this…? That's kinda like telling me, "You're a liar, I don't trust what you're saying. And you're lying and untrustworthy because you oppose Czar. Not because of anything else." And FreeRangeFrog, thanks for predicting that this discussion would be "a single response". Afraid not…badgering it is indeed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @Bloom6132: Calm down. Asking for proof is not an accusation of you being untrustworthy. You had to twist things around. You, like many others, are too quick to accuse people of "badgering". Stop making this situation more than it really is, which should be just a few people having a civilized discussion. This is another example of why RfA is failing. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 16:08, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @AmaryllisGardener – Asking me to prove that Czar really did do this – after I had already said he did and backed up my claim with diffs – is operating on the presumption that I'm lying. What do you expect me to respond to Ritchie with – "No, he didn't really do this. I made the whole thing up. I'm a untrustworthy liar?" Really? And you now accuse me of "twist[ing] things around." Victim blaming at its finest. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @Bloom6132: Here's a scenario: let's say we have a user that says that someone violated WP:3RR, but doesn't give diffs. Now the administrator that responds to this needs proof that this happened in order to take action against the violator. If the admin asks the user that reported it for diffs, is the admin doubting and accusing the reporter of lying? --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 16:26, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @AmaryllisGardener – Your hypothetical scenario doesn't apply here, because I already provided diffs in my initial oppose vote. Two, to be exact. Keep relying on fallacious arguments now to shoot the messenger. This is another example of why RfA is failing. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:33, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @Bloom6132: I only made a scenario that seemed relevant to counter your arguments. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 16:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Bloom, when I look at Talk:Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong)/GA1 and Talk:Holy Rosary Cathedral (Vancouver)/GA1, I get the impression I'm talking to a productive editor who really wants to improve the enyclopedia with an emphasis on quality. So why are you getting cross here? I don't get it, sorry. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:31, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @Ritchie333 – I get crossed when people impugn my integrity (implicitly or explicitly). I'm especially disappointed how I am treated differently based on how I vote. As I had mentioned above, when I supported Samwalton9's RFA bid, no one replied or even challenged my comment that he's a "net positive to the project". But the moment I oppose the candiate's bid with a legitimate concern supported with diffs, I'm immediately presumed to be lying and later victim-blamed by AmaryllisGardener. And the users badgering me above aren't neutral third parties – they're supporters of the candidate. They don't seem to understand how just because I don't agree with their viewpoint doesn't make me a liar. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:56, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   @Bloom6132: you know I respect you in this project, but your oppose vote is a grudge against the candidate because of the wikicup. If anything both of us should agree that it was Godot13 who was likely "gamed the system" to win, not Czar. Just stay civil, stop accusing bad faith (as you clearly are), and just drop the manner. It's over. Secret ^account 16:42, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Yeah I think that Bloom has been after Czar on that Wikicup thing for a while now. Like here in August. GamerPro64 16:47, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   I'm opposing Czar based on his poor judgment, not bad faith. I think we can all agree that admins need good judgment, and I feel he hasn't demonstrated that to the standard required of an admin. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:59, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Folks, if Bloom6132 considers himself a victim on a Wikipedia RfA page over some questions, then I think that's all we need to know.--v/r - TP 16:52, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   TParis – thanks for trivializing the matter TP. Really appreciate it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:56, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   I think this should be dropped. Bloom6132 is entitled to their opinion and no amount of discussion is going to change it. Continuing the discussion will accomplish nothing. -- GB fan 17:02, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

   Can I raise a toast to that? I don't happen to think one oversight like this, especially related to what amounts to a whizzing-contest among editors rather than content, is enough to deny czar an administrative position, but I don't see the point in letting this discussion further devolve into name-calling and unsupported assumptions.
