Question 5
The opposes for question #5 are among the most ridiculous I've ever seen. The candidate actually answered in his own words rather than parroting some stock answer, and this is a problem? Do you even realize how stupid such a question is, if you're going to be satisfied with an answer that can be cut-n-pasted from somewhere? Friday (talk) 16:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't know there was stock answer I could cut and paste! Heh. :) Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's almost amusing. Funny how people are citing it as a lack of knowledge of "admin-related issues". The whole issue of "cool-down blocks" was invented by someone here a few months back as a new litmus test for candidates; not knowing the 'correct' answer shows that you have a lack of knowledge of RFA-related issues if anything. And it's not as if his answer is even wrong! It just belies the habit of RFA-regulars of reading everything literally, even if it's patently obvious that it's not intended to mean what they've decided to take it to mean.  naerii  17:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * We seem to be getting further and further from the intended goal of RFA, which is trying to gauge the clue level of the candidate. Maybe we should have a "request for request for adminship", in which you need to have your judgement vetted somehow before you're even allowed to participate in RFA.  Our admin-mills and coaching programs seem to be encouraging clueless newbies to participate in RFA.  This is very harmful; RFA is tricky enough without people going out of their way to lower the level of discourse here.  Friday (talk) 17:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, but I respectfully disagree. I personally dislike the "trick question". [I believe that it was initially invented by Kurt to give him a reason to oppose.] However Wikipedia has numerous policies. No individual admin can be expected to know every policy. When admins communicate with other users, they need to be able to find and refer to relevant policies. Axl (talk) 18:00, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it was invented by ArcAngel. That's one less thing we can blame Kurt for.  naerii  18:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * In my experience, nearly every important question that comes up can be answered with a general understanding of Wikipedia's goals, plus some plain-old common sense. I can't remember the last time I looked at a policy page to help me figure out how to handle any real situation.  Friday (talk) 18:16, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Policy pages are what's known in some circles as "write-only documents".  naerii  18:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
