Redirect categorization
Hi Godsy! You've been interested in redirect categorization and the This is a redirect template in the past, so I wanted to let you know that there is a discussion at Template talk:This is a redirect that might interest you. Good faith!  Paine  21:15, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Addition of direct link to Donald Drumpf RfD

Links to disambiguation pages
Do not ever make an intentional link to a disambiguation page, as you did here. This creates false positives and disrupts the work of disambiguators. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:16, 25 March 2016 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I should have piped it as you did in your correction. I'm not in the habit of linking to disambiguation pages as it shouldn't be done in article prose where I edit more often. It seemed logical at the time when I noticed tour was the page name. Regards, — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 20:25, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It is an exception to the rule of otherwise making direct links on disambiguation pages. bd2412  T 20:28, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

St. John's Fire District and other moves
This move of a draft back to userspace was inappropriate  Getting references for this non-controversial info on a public utility service is trivially easy. Per WP:STALEDRAFT "If suitable for mainspace, move to mainspace;". Since there is nothing controversial on the page your move back to draft is close to a delete and is in violation of. Legacypac (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The page isn't suitable for the mainspace until it has those references, so your move there was inappropriate per the guideline you mentioned. WP:BURDEN (part of the WP:V policy which you also mention) applies to your move and not my reversion, because WP:V applies to additions in the mainspace. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 19:55, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. Whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the material and the overall state of the article. In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step. When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable. If you think the material is verifiable, you are encouraged to provide an inline citation yourself before considering whether to remove or tag it."


 * And yes I object to you removing the whole darn article because you are too lazy to tag it for sources in totally non-controversial info. Legacypac (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * When the policy states "restore" it means if one adds content to an article (within the article namespace) and another removes it, the burden is on the one that adds it to provide a reliable source. You're are misusing and misinterpreting that policy. It's only applicable to your move because it placed content into the mainspace. My reversion of your move is actually enforcing "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source" in a way, as you need to reference it before moving it back.
 * Secondly, please refrain from making personal attacks (i.e. your last sentence in your most recent comment) on me or anyone else for that matter on my talk page. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 20:23, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * After you failed to have me sanctioned, you seem to have embarked on a mission to reverse a number of my moves to mainspace. That is disruptive. Legacypac (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * The moves are improper, and as such, their reversions are not inappropriate. I was very clear in my move summaries: "the article lacks references of any kind, failing part of the core content policies, and as such it fails the criteria by which it can be moved to the article namespace." — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 20:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Your hypocritical activity will be reviewed by Admins Legacypac (talk) 20:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC) Godsy Disruption & GAMING the System

Your gaming continues with moving a stub on a very notable novel not once but twice, conflicting me out as I was adding references. See Claire of the Sea Light for another example of your stupid behavior. Legacypac (talk) 20:51, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I follow the policies and guidelines and you have yet to provide any evidence that I've ever gamed the system. I am not and have not gamed the system. The references should be added before the page move, because until they are present in the article, the article is not suitable for the mainspace. Claire of the Sea Light is another example of you moving an unsuitable unreferenced page to the mainspace, hence leading someone to nominate it for deletion. That is a waste of the community's time that can be traced back to you. "for another example of your stupid behavior" any further comments you make here that don't strictly adhere to CIVILITY and NOPERSONALATTACKS will be promptly removed and remain unanswered. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 21:03, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Only allowing 28 minutes and 6 minutes for someone to respond to ref needed tags is way too short. These are award winning novels - how the heck are your actions improving the encyclopedia? There are hundreds of thousands of unreferenced articles in mainspace. If we start moving them all to draft space instead of adding references would hou support that?  Legacypac (talk) 21:25, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * "Only allowing 28 minutes and 6 minutes for someone to respond to ref needed tags is way too short. These are award winning novels - how the heck are your actions improving the encyclopedia?" - an irrelevant and already answered comment and question per my comment above. If you move that particular content (i.e. The Waiting Years) to the draft namespace, I would have no objections, especially as the user is blocked indefinitely. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 21:35, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Or maybe you could try adding the references you think it needs - per policy and best practice. There is no policy that supports your move back into an indef banned userspace and your actions are WP:NOTHERE. Legacypac (talk) 21:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:STALEDRAFT, WP:BRD, and "best practice" support my reversion of your move. I am under no obligation to reference the page, as I am not the one moving it into the mainspace where references are required (and also required for the move itself to take place). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 21:44, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of moves
You appear to have reversed 4 of my moves. I've warned you before to not stalk my edits but you persist. Reverse the moves or will seek sanctions against you. Legacypac (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Do what you feel is necessary. "Many users track other users' edits, although usually for collegial or administrative purposes. ...

An inquiry about a userpage nominated for deletion

 * I cannot delete your userpage, I don't have the technical ability, as I'm not an administrator. However, I did nominate your user page for deletion. I believe it falls under the WP:CSD of the speedy deletion criteria as a "page in the userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages". Though there are several policies and guidelines you would benefit from adhering to, I'd suggest starting with CIVILITY and No Personal Attacks. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 07:44, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Something is not right with your signature
Because I just added a comment thanking you at WP:RFD for clearing it up, but in adding that comment (and that is just adding the comment to thank you) it still trails in cyan and small. Maybe it is ust Twinkle don't understand the various nested tags you have in your sig. Si Trew (talk) 08:41, 28 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Fixed again. I haven't altered my signature since August 2015. I think you accidently removed part of it due to the edit conflict. Best Regards, — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 08:50, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably Twinkle then, not sorting out the various nested tags in your sigs. At each ocasion all I did was hit the reply button, I didn't go around doing fancy fonts or anything deliberately to try it. If the third time it happens, I let you know, but something is screwing up and it ain't thee and it ain't me. (I am typing blind, by the way, so please excuse my errors. I am not blind but expect to be fairly shortly, so I touchtype well and colours are a nuisance. WP:USABILITY I think. Si Trew (talk) 08:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Johann Fust Community Library
This whole thing has become much more adversarial than it should be. I've added your source to the article, as an actual inline source. I have not, however, changed the section titles. I think the most commonly used titles are the most appropriate and see no reason to change that. Your thoughts? Niteshift36 (talk) 14:29, 5 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree that it has become more adversarial than it should be, and I can live with that as a compromise. Best Regards, — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 22:07, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

An inquiry


 * See also: Removing reply to templates from others' comments


 * Wait.... THREE DAYS AGO, I removed your unnecessary links to my name. We talked since then, reached some compromise.....and then you come to my page, THREE DAYS LATER and threaten me? Niteshift36 (talk) 17:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that you had altered my comments again. I don't actively monitor old comments because I don't expect that anyone will alter them. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 21:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't alter them after we reached some compromise. It was BEFORE. Then, instead of assuming some good faith, not only do you restore the pointless notifiers, but you come to my page and threaten me after the fact? Way to undo and cooperative progress. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:52, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The two issues need to be compartmentalized. I'm glad we came to a compromise on our discussion about Johann Fust Community Library. I will not compromise when it comes to the issue of editing my comments in that manner, especially after I asked you not to, as I believe it is an unambiguous violation of a behavioral guideline. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 00:02, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * let me ask you... why do you feel that you need to use them when I'm clearly aware? There's no requirement to use them. When I've already replied, they've clearly served the purpose, which was to ensure I saw the reply. So why the need to battle to keep a pointless template in place? Niteshift36 (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Firstly: it is a common courtesy and good practice that does no harm. Watchlist items can be easily overlooked, especially if there are a lot of pages on a watchlist. Secondly: because otherwise it appears as if I typed your username in plaintext at the beginning of my comment, which looks stupid, as I have already stated on your talk page. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 00:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Since I was responding, I clearly wasn't missing it. I explained that. Then you storm back in and re-add it to responses that were already replied to, which clearly eliminates reason 1. How about if I just remove my name completely? Then you won't have to worry how it looks.  Niteshift36 (talk) 00:32, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * My comments should remain in original form per the relevant guideline (even by my hand generally). I don't want my comments edited, they're reasonable and appropriate. There's no need to change them, and they shouldn't be edited by anyone other then me (except in limited circumstances none of which are applicable here). — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 00:49, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * . Yeah, you actually can edit your own, especially when the meaning isn't changed. That guideline does not prohibit you from changing it. You really seem to like linking stuff, especially when it's not needed. And when you continue doing it, knowing that they're not needed and irritating, then you're being a bit pointy yourself. Niteshift36 (talk) 00:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

I will not edit my comments at Talk:Johann Fust Community Library in the manner you would prefer. I will not refrain from using reply to templates on my own talkpage per the editnotice. If it bothers you, you aren't required to post here in most cases. However, I am willing to stop pinging you upon reply in the future at other forums, if you make that request to me. Though, if I forget or choose to because of a special circumstance, you still shouldn't edit my comments. I am not being "pointy", that is, I'm not making edits with which I do not actually agree, for the deliberate purpose of drawing attention and provoking opposition in the hopes of making other editors see their "point" (e.g. using reply to templates where I normally wouldn't or abundantly to make a point, such as Special:Diff/719319777, or using them to ping a user on their own talk page where they are already automatically notified). — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 01:09, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If you're not using the template one other talk pages (and I don't need them on any talk page, not just the library talk page), then I won't need to discuss it with you here. So you can stop using them any time now. And yes, using them when you know it's not needed and irritating, then you're being pointy. Again, if you just stop the completely unneeded use of them, I'll have no reason to discuss it further. Nor will I need to use them as often as you're using them. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I still plan to use them as I do now when replying to other users. I disagree with your characterization. I'll take the above statement as a request from you to no longer be pinged elsewhere, though you didn't explicitly make one.

Historical establishments in Kazak(h) ASSR

 * Please revert my recent hasty move: category:1930s in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic back to category:1930s in the Kazak Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic. - üser:Altenmann >t 23:31, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I completed your request. Should anything be done with the subcategories at this time? — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 04:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * - You are right. I didn't notice this before. The subcategories must be consistent with the parent. - üser:Altenmann >t 06:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Category:20th-century establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * Category:1930s establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * Category:1931 establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * Category:1934 establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * Category:1920s establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * Category:1928 establishments in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic
 * At the time of all those were established, the name of the republic would have been "Kazak Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic" (per the lead of that article). That being said, perhaps your move should be un-reverted, as it was appropriate for consistency. Alteratively, all those category titles can be moved to shave the "h" off, or a discussion can be started about it at CFD. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 08:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Category:1930s in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic (now a soft redirect) actually erroneously contained those subcategories. I've fixed the problems (one, two, and three), so the category redirect doesn't have the issue anymore, therefore it is reasonably fine where it is at this time (though the fix breaks the categories in another manner which I'll have to sort out a bit later). Best Regards, — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 09:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

The Fake Sound of Progress (song)
Doesn't that create a WP:Parallel histories problem, or did I look at it wrong? — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 04:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * While there may be a very slight parallel history problem, as this page and its redirects were move and merged many times - I think this is the best way to clean it up at this time - the original author is still intact and it helps to get the "recent" activity (all log moves) put in one place in case anyone tries to figure out what happened 10 years from now when they want to rename it again! The "undo" of that merge at this point will make the logs even worse - if you strongly object to this result, let me know and we can work out a new solution. —  xaosflux  Talk 04:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Round-robin
Hi Godsy, this is about some round-robin moves you performed recently. FYI, see Talk:Jantar Mantar (Jaipur), Talk:Aleksandrovo (Nova Crnja), and Talk:Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (Ponce, Puerto Rico). I made this redirects from the old page to the new ones for the sake of completeness to avoid breaking incoming talk page links to the old page. recently pinged me about this issue about not breaking incoming talk page links, and I thought I'd share this with you as well.

For example, if page A had a talk page, 3 archives, and a good article nomination, swapping A and its subpages with B without the talk/subpages will turn the former A 's pages into redlinks. I documented this at WP:PMVR if it helps. Of course, these additional redirects to be created could also use good judgment, but a move without redirect suppression would produce them anyway.

At your service
Thanks for your ongoing reassessment of start/stub articles. Editors seem to have been very liberal in their classifications...

If you'd like, you can post a list of reassessments here that I can take care of them semi-automatically. If not, carry on. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 13:18, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm going through the batch "by hand" (rather slowly due to the nature of the work and time constraints that currently effect the time I have to contribute), so I'm already at the page. As I'm viewing every one (except craters), it's as quick to edit them as it would be to compile a list. About 1 to 4 out of every 30 or so need re-assessment (i.e. they are unquestionably a stub). If I think of a better manner, or notice a pattern of a particular stub category that seems to consistently be in need of "re-stubbing", I'll let you know. Maybe re-assessing the articles to stub class when they're really short would be a better road to take in the future, as opposed to mass de-stubbing them. That being said, it would be nice if editors would assess them correctly in the first place. Thanks for your message and the offer.

Pageswap script for convenience
Hi Godsy! Thought I'd let you know that I've written a script here (js) that semi-automates round-robin moves for convenience, and thought you may want to try it out. You'd simply click "Swap" and enter a page destination, the script performs the 3 moves as necessary (saves time having to manually go through the move form 3 times). (It doesn't correct redirects afterwards, that's still manual)

Anyway feel free to adapt this script as you see fit, cheers :) — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 02:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

True, but process for the sake of process is silly imo 😜 - F ASTILY   23:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)


 * File redirects are generally retained. If you want to put it up for WP:CSD, as the title was "unambiguously created in error" by the admission of the uploader, I wouldn't object. Of all of the criteria for speedy deletion, WP:CSD is the one I see misapplied most often. Even though this one isn't a particularly good redirect, process is important so that other reasonable ones aren't improperly deleted.

3 userboxes
Hi Godsy, what is your suggestion about the three userboxes that show up at Special:PrefixIndex/Template:/U created and used by ? I believe they are not properly titled, and should be moved to a more recognizable location. — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 20:20, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest moving them to titles without the slashes (e.g. "Template:/Userbox/Benidorm" → "Template:Userbox Benidorm"), and leaving a notification on the creators talk page. Given the obscure format of what would then be the former titles, I'd suggest replacing all occurrences of them with the new titles (i.e. deprecate them), but retaining the redirects (unless you feel comfortable applying and would like to suppress them per G6). The userboxes could also be userfied as outlined at Userfication, but that is more controversial. —  Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 00:16, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Rs from cat
Hi Godsy,

Thanks for the links at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Category talk:Wikipedia soft redirected categories. I can understand the rationale to have them, and can understand or at least accept that there are technical issues; I thought as much because to have over 47,000 deliberately empty categories seemed a bit strange. I was wondering why we have to (seemingly) have a pseudo-category for every single soft R, i.e. not one for each cat of R, but every single soft R has its own category, that is rather weird. What makes it worse is that these categories don't seem to show up in the drop-down links (on Mozlla Firefox add-in) so they are essentially some kind of WP:ORPHAN. Trew to the rescue, gives them some attention.

Perhaps we could add that link you gave, to the top of the category itself (i.e. add the target of WP:CATRED at the top?) Perhaps it already is and I missed it: I was fiddling around with lots of Rs and Cats and I didn't investigate this thoroughly. However I did not like the reply from another user that "This is not the reference desk. If you have no ideas, maybe you should go there?". That sounded rather patronising to me and not in the best WP:AGF. For one thing, the reference desk is (or should be) dealing with queries about articles in user space, not the fiddle-faddle of things in editor space. If you go to a reference desk in a library (if you can find a reference desk, or for that matter even a library, these days) then they don't start telling you about bookbinding, neither should the reference desk here start telling you about things in editor space.

The basic distinction I have, not mine another editor's but a damned good one some years ago, is not the namespace split of Portal:, WP:, Template:, Category: and so on but what is in reader space and what is in editor space. Category: is in reader space, Portal: is in reader space (a failed attempt to introduce Yet Another Way To Search, in my opinion, but the active ones are all right as clubs of enthusiastic editors; we already had many before portals such as WikiProjects like WP:MILHIST), Template: is in editor space, WP: is in editor space. That is the better distinction, even if Churchill said "A British man cannot draw a line in the sand without blurring it" and we do that here, it is a better rule of thumb than what namespace something is in technically. Readers don't care. Our mission is to get people to where they want to go. We have redirects, categories, portals, search engines, drop-down tools and what not to get people where they want to go. Our gnomework is to make sure they get there. That is why I think redirects are more important than most do, because I think that is the primary way people get to where they want to go (if we get it right) or not (if we get it wrong). It's them that appear in the search tools that list mainspace, not Categories or Portals or whatnot. Redirects are (largely) in reader space whereas Categories are really not much in reader space (have you ever clicked on a category at the botom of an article to find other things in that category?) and the categorisation of categories is most definitely in editor space. Valuable though that is, R's are the front line. It's a pity so few care about them, really. Si Trew (talk) 15:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * No problem. Sorry for the delayed response. I read your message yesterday, but didn't have time to respond until now. I went ahead and added an explanation of these redirects to Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories. I fully agree with the sentiment, which you implied, that the readers are our first priority.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Afro engineering is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Afro engineering until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. WannaBeEditor (talk) 06:40, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

New Page Reviwer granted
Hello Godsy. Your account has been added to the " " user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. PS: Please note however, that the effort is to get all reviewers ultimately patrolling from the New Pages Feed and using the Page Curation tool (which is in the process of being significantly updated) in order to ensure that all reviewers are applying the same criteria and the same basic approach to new users. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:43, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

RfA
Hang in there, and don't take anything to heart &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:20, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I basically came here to say the same. Some of these opposes are worth learning from, as is the case at even successful RfAs, but many of them are just absurd. I normally encourage candidates to withdraw when they're down, but in your case, I think you have an actual chance at rebounding. There are a limited supply of editors with nonsensical standards on the project, after all, and many who will support on principle after reading some of the oppose section. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 14:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I definitely agree, Rob. As long as Godsy ends up in the "discretionary range", I'd be shocked if the 'crat(s) fail to promote him with the sheer quantity of ridiculous opposes. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:43, 29 November 2016 (UTC)


 * May I co-nominate you? You have qualities I think we need as an admin, and I'd like to put my name behind your nomination.  SilkTork  <sup style="color:#347C2C;">✔Tea time  16:45, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I know that traditionally co-nominations should be taken care of prior to the start of the RfA, but I very much appreciate the offer, and your co-nomination is welcome if you think it is a good idea at this point. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 17:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Done. My screen is jumping due to some software issues, so I clicked save instead of preview and messed it up initially. Anyway, it's done now. If you get the tools I'll give you any advice you need, and would suggest you get in touch with me whenever you're about to do something you haven't done before or which may be contentious - such as blocking someone or deleting a page.  SilkTork  <sup style="color:#347C2C;">✔Tea time  18:30, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * So I'm one of those that oppose you, but I want you to know that your RfA is the craziest I've ever seen. You've answered 20 questions so far and still maintained your aplomb. Regardless of how this shakes out, know that your nomination brought out the fury in our community unlike any other in recent memory. There may have been RfA's with more votes or with more mean things said but never in this volume. You have certainly earned some respect from me. In the future please chime in with your opinion anytime there are questions floated about reforming RfA. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 04:33, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Although I have opposed (which in my case only ever means "not right now; maybe a little bit later you'll be fine"), I agree that some of the oppose votes are stupid. Frankly I'd rather be in a minority of 5 reasonable bits of constructive criticism than amongst the silly season, and I actually now hope this RfA squeaks through with a pass just to teach them a lesson (I don't mind being proven wrong, I wonder who does?) <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  23:54, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, at this point, I don't think the RfA is going to pass. What you do with that information is up to you, although I should note that some editors are certain to unfairly hold a lack of withdrawal against you in your inevitable successful run in the future. Keep your head up, keep working as you have, and come back in 8–12 months (with a nomination - smh) for another chance. For some reason, !voters at RfA these days oppose even for things you did in your early days on the project the first time around, as if new editors never make mistakes. Sometimes it takes a "dry run" RfA just to get that out of their system. Next time, they tend to focus on the period between RFA #1 and RFA #2 (mostly), so consider it a fresh start in that sense. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 19:39, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No harm in letting it run, although it seems we both underestimated the "supply of editors with nonsensical standards" (in Rob's words) &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:42, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * At 66%, the RfA just crossed into the bureaucratic "discretionary zone". I would very much like to see this go into 'crat chat, just to evaluate the breadth of opinions presented. But I echo Rob's sentiment in case it isn't successful. Thank you for all that you do. Mz7 (talk) 18:44, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Curiously enough, it appears that the wave of support that pushed Godsy's RfA over 65% came after I posted my detailed analysis of the oppose votes. No one has, as of yet, supported per my analysis; perhaps it is considered too dangerous (just kidding ... I think) to support per someone who advocates for such strange ideas. Nonetheless, I do hope that I somehow contributed to turning the tide. I really hope this RfA can stay in the discretionary zone and survive a crat chat, because I very badly want to see a clear message sent concerning ludicrous opposes. Biblio (talk) 22:16, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I think in general, it's not unusual to see a burst of activity over the weekend, when contributors have more time to look over a candidate's contributions and formulate their own stance. Mz7 (talk) 00:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Implementing the outcome of a deletion discussion

 * Rob may be right in his prediction of the outcome, but I want to make clear that for me it's not all about things you did in your early days on the project. You can pull me out of the neutral section by simply agreeing to implement the outcome of this deletion discussion. In other words, I'm waiting for Afro engineering to redirect to List of ethnic slurs. wbm1058 (talk) 15:44, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The closer stated "The possible merge/redirect targets are jury rigging#similar phrases and list of ethnic slurs. There's a slight, but probably not statistically significant, preference for list of ethnic slurs, and I'll admit to a slight supervote to break the tie in that direction." in their closing rationale. I had a discussion with them at their talk page where they said "Perhaps the best thing would be if you pinged the other AfD participants here and see what other people think." I did so, and there is now an ongoing request for comment on the matter, so it would not be appropriate for me to take that action at this time. —  Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 16:26, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh come on now – I removed the ethnic slurs – "one wouldn't use "engineer" or "rigger" to refer to someone; they are used as adjectives (e.g. a "rigged car") and verbs (e.g. "engineer the air conditioner")." A "car rigger" rigs cars; an "air-conditioner engineer" engineers air conditioners. This sort of hair-splitting may be one reason for much of the opposition to your RFA. Sandstein has the right idea: Why not briefly mention the term on both pages? Don't try to write a book about the "topic". You could have been bolder in just fixing this... now the discussion has turned into a circus and you can't put the toothpaste back into the tube. Good admins generally don't start fires like this in the first place, and on occasions when they inadvertently do, they are more skilled at controlling the fire before it gets out of control. wbm1058 (talk) 17:15, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I describe my view better at the RfC – All the terms at list of ethnic slurs are derogatory nouns referring to members of certain groups. In the case of the terms in question here, they aren't used in that manner (i.e. as nouns; e.g. to refer to subjects as an "afro engineer" or "nigger rig[ger]" is incorrect or at least obscure), they are used as adjectives (e.g. a "nigger rigged car"; to describe the way something was done; i.e. a "shoddily repaired car") and verbs (e.g. to "afro engineer the air conditioner"; to describe the act of doing something; i.e. to "shoddily repair the air conditioner"). Several other editors agree. —  Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 17:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

No worries, many admins didn't get through their first RfA, myself included (and my first was also a self-nom!). Usually when someone doesn't make it in their first RfA there are points to discuss on how they can improve, in your case that's not possible because you already have all the qualities in place to become an admin. Don't be down heartened by the points brought forward by your opposers - it is not uncommon for minor points to be blown out of proportion, or to be misinterpreted, in a RfA. Many RfAs have gone screaming in the wrong direction after a few negative comments are made. If there's anything to work on, perhaps it is that when you disagree with someone on Wikipedia, reach out to them a little more. You communicate effectively, and keep communication on a professional, neutral level, which is as it should be. However, there is no harm in being a little more human when disagreeing with someone, and making it clear that you see things from their point of view - especially if you have clashed with them in the past. Offer people courtesies; so if, for example, you are about to re-open a discussion, then discuss the matter with the person who originally opened the discussion before you re-open it. Let them know what you are thinking, and why you feel the discussion should be re-opened. It is possible to argue and disagree with people, and not to alienate them. Keep well.  SilkTork  <sup style="color:#347C2C;">✔Tea time  02:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I've been wondering for a while whether RfA has headed toward a place where a competent editor needs to "fail" an RfA just to be "rid" of the mistakes they made early on, since editors look back so far into an editor's history for reasons to oppose. I think this is the first clear-cut instance of that. I don't know that you really have to make all that many changes. If you keep doing what you're doing and come back in 9 months to a year, you'll be seen as having made "improvement", even though you had already improved by the time you ran. In other words, shake off the really old stuff. Focus on the few comments about more recent actions and work on those. Strive to be that little extra bit diplomatic, as it's good practice to avoid being in front of the proverbial firing squad once you become an admin. You're well on your way. Best of luck in the future. Oh, and for Christ's sake, get a nominator next time. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 03:14, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry about your RfA, but you should be encouraged. Many current admins didn't pass their first RfA. Just take a look at this. Not only that, but your RfA closed as No consensus instead of Oppose. Work on the problems that you can fix that were brought up during the RfA and the 'crat chat and, in a few months six or (preferably) more months, find one or two well-known and well-liked admins who are willing to nominate you. While I personally have no problem with a self-nom, others may see it as somewhat prideful. Finding someone else to nominate you is much better than self-nominating (or even self-co-nominating) yourself. I look forward to supporting you in your next RfA.  —   Gestrid  ( talk ) 05:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Just as a note, given the RfA environment, it shouldn't be in a few months. There's a sizable contingent who would oppose on principle if an RfA were submitted that soon after one closed as no consensus. A bit silly, in my opinion, but that quick of a re-nomination would result in a SNOW close. 9-12 months is optimal. 6 months is the absolute minimum, and it would need to be a hell of a 6 months to make it possible. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 05:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Appreciation

 * It was tough, what all you had to go through, in the Rfa and in the crat chat. I applaud your composed responses throughout these two sessions. I know you might not be feeling up to it right now, but there's a very important positive side to this Rfa. And that is that this first Rfa, forms a basis for the community to create a cathartic marker of their feedback to you. You might perhaps already know this, but do please allow me to reiterate, that this marker means that the next time you come up for the Rfa (6 months, a year, whenever), the community would significantly focus on your intermediate edits between this Rfa and your next; confirming whether their feedback has been taken into context. So yes, I believe this is a positive way to look at this Rfa and a good pad to understand the community's feedback. My appreciation again for your demeanor throughout the process. Thanks.
