Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Kimchi.sg

First oppose vote and discussion
Moved from nomination -- Mackensen (talk) 02:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I do not find Kimchi.sg civil at all. As a matter of fact just the opposite. See his/her comment on my talk page. Accusing someone or threatening with an action, before asking him or her first is actually quite disrespectful. I strongly oppose this person becoming an admin.

 * Comment for the bureaucrat assessing this RFA. Josie the pussy cat is believed to be the sockpuppet of an indefinitely banned user. Please see my recent WP:ANI post here, and if I had had any doubt about the identification, her characteristic comments on this page would have utterly removed them. Bishonen | talk 01:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC).
 * Diffs? If you're referring to where you edited a closed RfA, he appears to have been perfectly civil to me. --Rory096 21:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm truly sorry, Josie, but I sincerely fail to see the incivility you allege at Kimchi's comment. He was merely warning (as others also were) to stop modifying a RfA page which had been closed for a month, which you contended was "still ongoing", despite being informed that was not the case, and ignoring the header all closed RfA archived nominations display. As far as I can see, no threats were made, but he was just informing you of the possible consequences of said unappropriate action. I don't want you to sway your vote over what I just said, but I humbly suggest you to reconsider your impression of Kimchi. Phædriel  ♥   tell me  - 21:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * "hence you had no business editing it" was part of the message that wasn't really needed. Isn't really a personal attack, over-reaction?-- Andeh 22:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ghh. Yes, I think people should be civil to each other, but if "hence you had no business editing it" is suddenly held up as an example of rudeness, we're getting way, way off base here and well into the land of candy-coated hugs where even disagreeing with someone is just not done, dash it. Kimchi.sg might undoubtedly been a little gentler there, yes, but the fact remains that Josie had no business editing it. (Anyway, as far as civility and personal attacks go, I think some edits speak for themselves.) -- Captain Disdain 22:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * "You've done the wrong thing and you shouldn't have" isn't a personal attack. It's a perfectly valid straightforward statement.  It becomes a personal attack when you say "you messed up, asshole".  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 23:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In response to the large number of responses to my 'oppose vote'. This is what he said to me "..hence you had no business editing it. The nomination is over, and any further editing of the page will be regarded as vandalism."
 * I do find the no business, comment offensive. It could have been said in a nicer way, with no candy ass hugs. I am pretty new here and it can and should be assumed that I have a lot to learn. Learn to be kinder to people in your speech. kindness may not be a Wikipedia policy but it is considered a nicer way to be with people.
 * 1) *"will be regarded as vandalism" is an unnecessary comment and is a threat. ''Be regarded as vandalism?'..please. Anyone can see that this just plain nasty. Josie the pussy cat 23:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Phædriel said "I don't want you to sway your vote over what I just said, but I humbly suggest you to reconsider your impression of Kimchi." You sure could have fooled me, Phædriel. I would say you are definitely trying to sway my vote here. Josie the pussy cat 23:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment/Question Am I the only one here that feels that Josie the pussy cat is over reacting for such a minor thing?-- Andeh 23:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, see my oppose. NSLE 01:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No. I've dealt with many worse things... Geez. Besides, it does say please do not modify it pretty clearly on closed discussions. That comment might have been a notch too harsh (maybe) but I say live and let live. And NSLE, respectfully, what in the world does that link have to do with incivility? Grand  master  ka  01:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Why this is a self-nomination
As Blnguyen has mentioned, I did request Durin to nominate me, and Xoloz also offered to nominate me only hours before this nomination went live. Before posting this nomination, I sent a email to Durin explaining my reasons for doing a self-nomination. I believe these reasons should also be mentioned here, as they may have a bearing on your decisions. The community may now evaluate these reasons and decide accordingly. Kimchi.sg 04:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Liability for outcome: If the RfA fails, my nominator won't be guilty for having nominated me; if it passes, it'd have passed solely on the basis of my contributions and my suitability for the tools.
 * 2) I've been persuaded by the school of thinking that says, "If you feel you're suitable for the mop, why nominate yourself later than is necessary?"
 * 3) Remarks at recent RfAs by Blnguyen and Tawker  have convinced me that we are facing an acute shortage of admins at certain periods in some areas, especially CAT:CSD.
 * 4) The recent departure of Mailer diablo means there's one less admin to take care of closing AfDs. This is one of the areas I anticipate I can be helpful in.
 * 5) "Last but not least, you [Durin]'ll be free to research other admin candidates. :-)"

Congratulations
I congratualte you on crossing the century. I believe that we are a very mature community - the most vibrant virtual community. Calling a "spade a spade' is not uncivil at all, though I would avoid that - but I have some time called spades spades. We are here to build Best encyclopedia, and not indulege in goody-goddy talk. However, I would always like to see all editors, including me, to be polite and civil at all time. Regards. --Bhadani 16:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
