A (very) short note
Those who know me from before, know that I don't oppose RfAs lightly. I'm of the opinion that if there are not serious concerns about a candidate, that the candidate should get the mop. I have opposed very few RfAs amongst my many !votes. I do not oppose this one lightly. BobTheTomato (MrWhich) (talk) 20:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

What a colossal mistake
I just noticed that Gwen is now an administrator. I have not looked at her activities as an administrator, but in my experience with her has been very bad. In fact, my username, created in March 2007, is a result of an edit war with her about the use of the word 'However' in the Lisa Nowak article. I don't think Gwen knows how to work in a cooperative environment that Wikipedia requires.

It seems to me that this successful RfA is purely a result of Gwen's gender. I cannot see how she would have been granted administratorship had she been the other gender. Unfortunately, at the time of this RfA, I was on a wiki break due to things that were going on in my life. However whatever (talk) 21:20, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh? This thing was closed 4 months ago.  Why comment now?  My guess is that someone is going to remove these comments anyways.  She's an outstanding admin, nevertheless.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 21:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Edit conflict on a closed RFA! LOL!  "However", Gwen is one of our best.  You sore you didn't get a chance to cast your revenge vote?  And by your own admission you didn't even bother to look at her work before judging it?  Antandrus  (talk) 21:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Truly LOL. When I saw this pop up on my watchlist, I thought "When did Gwen Gale quit being an admin?  And why did she decide to do it again?"  If this was a colossal mistake, then everything at Wikipedia is fine.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 21:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Someone disagreed with you eighteen months ago. Get over it. –  iride scent  21:44, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh? Disagreed me?  Hell everyone disagrees with me, as recently as 18 minutes ago, let alone 18 months.  I'm confoozled.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 21:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Him, not you. –  iride scent  22:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I was hoping, considering you're part of the official Vandalize Keeper76 Cabal, along with me. How long before Keeper shows up?   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 22:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * In two hours Keeper officially Goes To A Better Place, so maybe never. –  iride scent  22:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Dammit. I'm such a f-ing contrib stalker.  You both knew I'd show up here didn't you?  Dammit.  I'll be online again tomorrow, then I'll prove to you both that I really am going away.  Dammit!   Keeper  &#448;  76  22:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)



Can anyone see any reason not to protect this page for a couple of days now to let this silliness die out? –  iride scent  22:17, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't. But can someone leave a polite little comment to However whatever's page reminding him on about 6 different violations of Wiki-principles.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 22:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Let it die. –  iride scent  22:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the pic though :) However whatever, if you ever need help with something, please let me know. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

"I don't think Gwen knows how to work in a cooperative environment that Wikipedia requires." Well she is the exact opposite of what "However whatever" said. I have been thinking of this problem of not protecting the archived content. Seriously, something MUST be done, perhaps common sense? — Orion11M87 (talk) 03:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Good thing I did not see the vile rhetoric exhibited in this conversation at the time it happened. The personal attacks are simply unacceptable.

At least one positive thing did come out of this excercise. The admin herself acted as the most mature person in this otherwise sea of infantilism. Perhaps the bad experience I had with her was an exception, and not the rule. --However whatever (talk) 00:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
