User:Useight/Requests for signatureship


 * The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for signatureship. Please modify it .

After reviewing the !votes under careful review, the candidate appears to have a need and knowledge of the signature tools. Despite thrice the amount of negative !votes to positive ones, the "too many signatures currently" !vote nullified all negative !votes which caused sudden, instant, and even immediate success of the RfS. The candidate will be automatically placed in the Signatures Open to Recall list.--It's me...Sallicio!$\color{Red} \oplus$ 02:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Nomination
(8/29/0/Signature ideas:15); Scheduled to end 23:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello everyone. I've been here for a couple of years now and I've noticed that pretty much everyone except me has a custom signature. I was hoping to find out if I qualify for one. I had been looking for a Signature Coach for some time now, but have been unsuccessful, so I am nominating myself.

I have 42,000 edits, with over 9,000 to various talk pages, so the signature would go to good use. And for those of you with the concern, yes, I would add myself to Category:Signatures Open to Recall. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Useight (talk) 23:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)  <--- Note the un-customized signature

Questions for the candidate
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as a Signature Portrayer. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:
 * 1. How do you plan on using the signature, if granted?
 * A. Well, I figured I'd only use it when making comments in the Talk, User Talk, and Wikipedia Talk namespaces. In theory I could use it in File Talk or Template Talk, but I don't really foresee that happening. I also hereby make a campaign promise not to use it in the mainspace, even though putting it there would be highly visible, and therefore awesome.


 * 2. Do you know the rules for custom signatures?
 * A. Well, let's see. I know not to subst it or to use an image in it. They also shouldn't be too long, too big, too small, too colorful, or anything else fun. I definitely won't pull a John Hancock. Although I could probably WikiLawyer my way out of these rules if necessary.


 * 3. What custom signature will you use?
 * A. I must apologize because I don't have a good answer to Q3 (even though I wrote it), so I made a section below for suggestions.
 * 4. Compulsory question from WereSpielChequers : Chat  What are your views on flagged signatures?
 * A. I think everything should have a flag
 * 5. Mandatory question by iMatthew : Chat  : Do you like numbers?
 * A. User:Useight's Mom was always a bigger fan of Numb3rs than I was. I didn't even know it was still running until I clicked that link. Well, actually, I didn't click that link at all, I typed it in the search box.
 * 6. Do you like the sig I suggested? --Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 00:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A. Only if you switch to the support section.
 * 7. Are you Power HungryTM question from Mailer Diablo: What is the difference between a signature and four tildes?
 * A. Um, a signature is longer? I might need to use a lifeline on this one.
 * 8, If you could have any one of these signatures, which and why? --BencherliteTalk 00:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A. Abraham Lincoln, per Stovepipe hat.
 * 9. Do you see a signature as analogous to leaving spoor to mark your territory? If not, why, and how do you plan to rectify this character flaw? --Gwern (contribs) 02:06 1 April 2009 (GMT)
 * A. Actually, I view spoor as analogous to leaving a signature to mark territory. I will rectify this through the use of Zen, meditation, mysticism, and various rituals. Useight (talk) 02:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 10. Optional question from Pianista : Chat  (Meaning, answer or the server kitty gets it.) Do you really care for what happens to the server kitties, or is your concern merely a facade on which the public may feed, like puppies upon M&Ms? Pianista :  Chat  04:34, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A. It's all a façade, just like how I create the illusion of intelligence by using special characters within the first few words of my sentences.

Discussion

 * Does anyone know the required support percentage for an RFS to pass? If it's 10% or less then I'm on my way. Useight (talk) 00:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If you fail, then you have to leave unsigned posts for the rest of time, of course. That said, I don't think any RFS has ever failed before, so you might be OK.  Perhaps our newest bureaucrat should be asked to close this one? Bencherlite :  Chat  00:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Other

 * 1) Dependent. As I'm sure you are aware, Useight, signatureship is treated like a religion on Wikipedia.  Thus, we can not go around handing out signatures to everyone who asks for one.  Certain circumstances must arise before a candidate can be selected, no matter the certainty shown in the caucus.  It being March (USA, baby!), only the March Madness games can determine whether you are qualified for success in the closing of your RFS.  Please, Useight, select one of the current four teams still left in the NCAA tournament (Michigan, UCONN, Villanova, or UNC, if you haven't been watching).  If that team wins the championship, you may have your signature.  In order to achieve a professional outlook, please post your team as a reply to this. TheInfinityZero (talk) 01:52, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I will select UNC over UCONN in the championship. However, if you're willing to take the bet, I'll put $10 that a team with an "N" (with no respect to case-sensitivity) somewhere in their name will win. Useight (talk) 01:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
