Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Street Scholar

My comments Moved to the RFA page.


 * I'm sorry, but if you believe that this is acceptable because the user was "abusive", you are clearly not ready for the mop yet. By the way, it may be better to post this on the RfA page itself, so that more people will see and read it.  Melsaran  (talk) 19:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Cool your jets, Melsaran. This RFA is failing, but let's try not to rub salt in his wounds.--Chaser - T 19:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Chaser nice little flame there - for your information I have a life outside of wiki unlike some. --Street Scholar 19:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Update: == Some comments I would like to make == OK, I don't have much time so I'm going to keep this short, as am doing an assignment. Just to make something clear I'm thinking of withdrawing my request for adminship in fact I feel like am going to retire from editing on wiki. Firstly, to address Melsaran she has made baseless claims against me. If you don't provide the context to something, i.e. the text before and after the comment someone has made then naturally anyone can twist that comment to suit their own agenda. I could start a holy war by misconstruing and not providing context to text from Harry Potter its not cleaver.

The first claim she made without giving any context to was, with respect to this article this article was heavily edited by an Indian user sometime back who was known to make controversial claims with dubious or partisan sources and was abusive to me several times when I first signed up. The reason why I requested that article to be deleted was based on that. Moreover, the user who created the article has been banned indefinitely for trolling and being abusive. See the here: Link based on what I have said I believe I was right to request the article to be deleted. Rather then getting into a revert war with him.

Next she talked about my block log if you notice I was blocked by Menrope this was back in October 2006. She blocked me for allegedly making personal attacks. I think the evidence was inconclusive and the ban increase from 48 hrs to 1 week was clearly suspect to say the least. Then I was blocked for another week for making racial attacks by none other then an Indian admin which I found was strange at the most I should have been issued a warning. Then I was banned by a user named H who left wiki June 07 after some disputes his been having another user am assuming from looking at his user page. I was blocked by him for 2 weeks for making a factual statement, and he deemed it as a "personal attack" it was for the first claim mentioned above. And then finally I was blocked by another Indian admin, does anyone see a patter here? for making this comment on my own user page. I admit, that was a comment which I regret I made and apologize to anyone offended by it, I should not have made that comment. However banning me for 1 month for that is going over the top. All in all my block log if anything has normally been me being blocked on speculative reasons.

And the final two claims she made, no one can hold those against me as it was a personal opinion one of those articles should be deleted and the other kept. I don't even see why she mentioned them. You have to consider how long I have been here also, most of if not all of my comments which seemed a little rude were made during the time I was learning, and I didn't have much of an understanding of wiki policy.
