Titoxd

Time to give him the mop. Karmafist 21:04, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Extreme Lesbian Voter Fraud I'll vote twice just because it's already a foregone conclusion and i'd like to have the honor of having my vote stricken out by this soon to be über-administrator. I was thinking of leaving the umlauts off to see if he replaced them on there before he struck them, but I figured that'd be overboard. FYI, Titoxd, please make sure you invite me to any celebration parties you may have in your fabulous new barn, now horse feces free! ;-) Karmafist 00:58, 21 October 2005 (UTC) Vote dutifully stricken, and sure, you're all invited. :) Tito xd (?!?) 01:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I find it very hard to assume good faith with Boothy's oppositions. Opposing nearly all potential admins. without explanation is essentially incivil, and without such explanation, in fact, he is not abiding by WikiGuidelines.  Furthermore, I believe that these oppositions are a result of simple malice.  I noticed that Boothy has 16,000 edits, but is not an adm - perhaps he is trying to hold others back.  His contributions reflect a tendency of anger when people have only asked a simple question  or he is excessivley sarcastic .  I request that medition or arbitration be considered against this user. Him abusing the rights of RfA is harmful to the Wiki in my opinion - trolls, vandals and spammers are not allowed to continue in bad faith - so this user should also comport himself in a civil manner on these RfAs.  He is abusing his rights here - and he is apparently making no attempts to stop.  He has the right to vote, sure, but all the other Wikipedians have the right to a fair RfA. Something needs to happen! Molotov  (talk) [[Image:Flag of California.svg|25px]] 03:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Calm down, people! You're taking his oppose vote harder than I am, and I'm the one being opposed. :) Boothy does have standards for adminship, in fact, he described them to Acetic Acid not too long ago. I can't and I won't blame Boothy for having such high standards—if I don't meet them, then I don't meet them, and that's the end of the story. Everyone, have a cup of coffee on my behalf, ok? Tito xd (?!?) 04:21, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) I added this here because this section seemed kind of empty and surely, one more support's not gonna make a hell of a difference--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91  ($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)  05:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I've been very active in the Counter Vandalism Unit the last few days, and before that, I used to do manual RC Patrol to revert vandalism, so that's one thing I'll keep doing. Also, I'm very active at Votes for Undeletion, where being an admin is very helpful. I also plan to help with the backlogs at Templates for deletion, Miscellaneous deletion and of course, the one no one wants to do.


 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Most of my article namespace edits have come through Spanish Translation of the Week, and my two favorite articles are Geology of Venus and Geology of the Moon, the current SPATRA. Keeping with SPATRA, but this time on the Wikipedia namespace, I was the one who came up with the idea of commenting untranslated text, as a compromise to a conflict that occured while editing Glacier.


 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Mostly, I've been able to avoid Wikistress altogether, so I've been lucky. However, I know that adminship would result in being involved in more conflicts, so I'll say that my personal philosophy is to assume good faith before everything, ignore all personal attacks done on me, and not to attack anyone. Basically, to remember that we're trying to build an encyclopedia here before anything else.
