Example
'''Final (27/15/6/1); ended 23:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC) - Successful in a parallel universe where all text reads as "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." Fun Pika  23:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)'''

Nomination
Hey, guys, this RFA for one of Wikipedia's most popular users has been allowed to languish here un-transcluded for six years! I can't believe we've overlooked this for so long, but we should correct the error quickly. In fact, I propose that this RFA be closed at 23:59 today, so that good ol' User:Example can be sysopped as soon as possible. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  00:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Support as nominator. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  00:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Support. I thought he was an admin already!  — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 00:38, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support as original nominator. --Place holder (talk)
 * Note: User has been blocked for violation of MOS:DASH in signature. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  00:43, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Support a great editor, really a great editor. He's really a good, trusted, tireless, competent, long-standing, established, responsible, responsive, cooperative, nice, cute, funny, reliable, and notable editor. Should be an admin ASAP. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 01:43, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Support The best of the best.  TB randley  01:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) Support I don't see this passing in the slightest but I have seen Example used a lot to illustrate how to do something so it seems like a lot of folks really respect the good work they do. Besides this way we can say if you want to see a good admin here's an Example. Kumioko (talk) 02:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Support - I've never seen anyone as elite as Example. He's like the Joe Montana of editing. :D  Zappa O Mati  02:24, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) We've had worse. — Ched : ?  02:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I can't see how. One contrib 8 years ago doth not an admin make. Humblesnore (talk) 02:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Any Wikipedian who can't think of a net-negative admin is a very lucky Wikipedian indeed. We could all name names, but we're all smarter than that (most of the time, at least). — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  13:49, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Support Admin rights are WP:NOBIGDEAL after all. Tazerdadog (talk) 02:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Support: Judging by his block log and baseless talk page warnings, Example seems to be a constant target for bullying by other editors including admins. We should give him the mop just so he could respond the same way. Chamal T •C 03:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) Support. Extremely unlikely to do anything requiring desysopping. Risker (talk) 04:13, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Positively neutral oppose. One day, I hope to grow up to be Example, just like my four fathers before me. This editor has proven time and time again that you can get nothing done with the least effort possible. This editor should be kicked off Wikipedia and promoted to Administrator on MediaWiki. I think that would best suit this editor like a tuxedo. Steel1943 (talk) 05:01, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * 6) Wait. Wasn't I here already? Steel1943 (talk) 05:29, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) Support - can't see he would contribute much to WP, so by that logic I can't see how he could break it either. Stalwart 111  05:35, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) Support I didn't like the answer to question 1, but 2 and 3 make me believe example will make a good admin. Matthew Thompson  talk to me bro! 05:41, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 9) Support cur non (why not?). Tolly  4  bolly  10:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * 16) Infinity raised to the infinity support to cancel out the oppose. Eloquence like this candidate must not go unrewarded/unpunished -- SPhilbrick  (Talk)  15:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 17) Support because I want to be on the winning side, thereby taken more seriously as a Wikieditor. Nothing in the candidates answers offended me, and I don't have time to go through the candidate's eight-year edit history.  Oppose rationales not convincing either, again because I didn't take the time to read them.   78.26  (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 15:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 18) Neutral 这肯定是四月一日的废话.  Arctic   Kangaroo  15:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Consectur adipisicing lit;

Oppose

 * 1) INFINITELY STRONG OPPOSE This oppose !vote is so strong that it cancels out the entire support section and makes this RfA the worst on record at (currently) <font color="#006000">3 /<font color="#800000">517482 /<font color="#000080">0 . It is so strong that everyone who's edited this page or even seen this page is tainted forever and all of the IP addresses they've ever edited from will have to be blocked indefinitely, and any pages they've ever edited will be deleted and protected from re-creation. It also drowns out all other votes on all other RfA's or other proposals, inside and outside Wikipedia, going back to the Big Bang and forward to the end of time.  The government of the universe is hereby dissolved and replaced with an autocracy with me at the top. This will remain in place forever unless challenged by an even stronger opinion.  — Soap — 00:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Soap I ∞ly recommend you change this !vote to a support. Thank you. John F. Lewis (talk) 00:48, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Only if the candidate agrees that my web design company, Main Page Web Design, is the primary meaning of the term "main page" and that all other senses should be handled with a hat note in small print at the top of the page. I also recommend redirecting people directly to my website's payment form instead of just the article about my site.   — Soap — 03:50, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I hereby declare that my opinion shall be 1 unit of opinion strength srtonger than the next strongest opinion available elsewhere. I further decree that all votes must be to support.  Tazerdadog (talk) 02:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

 * 2) Oppose - answers seemed slightly repetitive. I realize that Lorem Ipsum is absolutely essential to the encyclopedia, but I'd prefer that the candidate have experience in other areas. --B (talk) 02:13, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
