Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Captaindansplashback

Edit count and diffs
I haven't broken this one down by type of edit; the diffs below (the random diff generator got all but 5 of them) contain all the user's edits anyway, so there isn't a need for the extra information. Using ais523's edit counter. --ais523 09:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC) Edit count for User:Captaindansplashback Counted at 09:45, Wednesday 6 December 2006 (UTC) (main)        9 Talk          4 User          1 User talk     11 Wikipedia     10 Total         35 And the other edits (added by hand):

 * lol yeah. ---J.S (T/C) 15:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That's only if you never came across Articles for deletion/Janicism. Trust me, it's good reading, go for it. Patstuarttalk 16:26, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems like a very similar M.O.. If wonder if it's the same person/group?  ---J.S  (T/C) 18:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Pat, ta very much for the link. Distressingly hilarious. riana_dzasta 17:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Poll: Move to BJAODN upon close?
Obviously, captaindansplashback has a highly developed sense of sarcasm. So when this ... amusment is over, should we move this to Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense?

 * 2) Of course Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 07:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Of course - anything for the Jesus of editing. riana_dzasta 17:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) You betcha, I was even going to suggest this. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

Neutral
 * 1) BJAODN is already far too long, with too many lame jokes, so that it's not even worth reading.  Patstuarttalk 16:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments from Peanut Gallery
 * I don't think we need a poll for this. Either BJAODN or userfy. Either way, I don't think this should be lost. ---J.S  (T/C) 18:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Increases potential irony. -- Elar  a  girl  Talk 18:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you found my application amusing, I take it that I am not to be accepted for adminship? Captaindansplashback 19:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you lack the experience most people look for in administrators. ---J.S (T/C) 20:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Very well. But I must say your missing out on someone that would have been considered THE EDITOR to this little website you have created. These are just some general reviews I've had from previous websites I have been an administrator for (hopefully they will sway your view somewhat and allow me to become an administrator or some sort of chief): Captaindansplashback 15:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) "Top notch! This guy is a machine"
 * 2) "Wikipedia? Pah!"
 * 3) "The Jesus of editing"
 * 4) "He hacked into my website and changed it so it said 'willy'...Genius"
 * 5) "Rarely abused his adminship"
 * Doesn't really help. I'd suggest editing seriously for 3-4 months and try again. ---J.S  (T/C) 16:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Not being an admin doesn't prevent you from being THE EDITOR. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

That's a shame...But I must remind you it will not be I who will suffer for this decision, it will be Wikipedia. Wikipedia will crumble and fall. It will be begging on its knees for me to return but I will deny any such offer. Wikipedia would have brought it's decline on itself not I. I tried to help but my help was thrust back in my face. There will be no support for the people, the support which I can provide. When will my application be posted on BJAODN? Captaindansplashback 18:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't like the vaguely threatening tone. We have over 1000 administrators. I don't think there is much that we can't handle. ---J.S  (T/C) 03:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe there was a threatening tone to my comment, I was merely predicting the state of Wikipedia after the refusal of my application. You are even now admiting that Wikipedia is starting to crack after the refusal of my application as you say, "there is much that we can't handle." Well look who came crawling back? However I must turn down your call for aid as I did warn you of the consequences of the refusal of my application and now the prophecies have come true. I must say I wish you luck with this sinking vessal. Captaindansplashback 20:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Please explain what you all find so amusing. I cannot see any humour in any part of captaindansplashback's application. He has simply offered his holy services in exchange for a small profit. I have now dedicated my time to creating a series of books about the forthcoming termination of Wikipedia. This is simply the first step of its crumbling. I shall call my series "The Decline and Fall of Wikipedia" in which the first volume "The Beginning of the End of Wikipedia" will depict the events concerning this large mistake in the Admin regime's judgement.

The Decline & Fall of Wikipedia.

 * Actually, my comment of "there is much that we can't handle." was meant to be "there isn't much that we can't handle.. ---J.S (T/C) 21:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

So you were saying, 'I don't think there isn't much we can't handle?' That's alot of negatives. Captaindansplashback 21:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You haven't outlined how you could "save" us. Your values arn't in-line with the values of wikipedia and you have almost no understanding of wikipedia policy.  You have almost no experience on wikipedia and we have no way to know if we can trust you. Edit for 6 months, learn the system and learn our philosophy and then apply again. ---J.S  (T/C) 21:36, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

When is this being moved to BJAODN? Captaindansplashback 16:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
