Question 4
Below is the entirety of question 4, and my original answer before changing my response. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 19:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Should we semi-protect this vote?
With all the AOL trolling, I suggest semi-protecting the voting page. Who knows when this will end. --King of All the Franks 06:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks, NSLE. --King of All the Franks 06:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


 * This is wholly inappropriate. That prevents very new users from participating, when they are allowed to. It is for the 'crats to filter out meats/socks, and for everyone to use the standard editing tools and a dose of common sense to remove the vandals. I wish people wouldn't use WP:SEMI as a tool for disposing of any one they aren't familiar with. -Splash talk 12:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If a user new enough to be blocked by semi-protection voted on this page, they would probably be disregarded as a possable sock/meat puppet anyway. Just an observation. Raven4x4x 10:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd also have to oppose protecting the vote page...but then again I oppose crossing out anonymous votes as I said here (a recommendation, I might add, that received only positive feedback...) Tom e rtalk  09:48, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawing? No.

 * I see Quadell has withdrawn because of the oppose votes: only eight, some of them opposing only because they'd never seen him around, but they themselves haven't been around for long. Great shame. He's exactly the type of admin who should be promoted in my view. SlimVirgin (talk) 01:42, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt that Quadell dropped out, since the edit was made by an AOL IP. I'm going to take it off until he confirms it. -- MicahMN | μ 01:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh good, thanks for checking that. I didn't even think to look. SlimVirgin (talk) 01:52, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

For the record, I have not withdrawn my nomination, nor will I. It seems an anonymous vandal is doing anything he can to prevent my promotion. We'll see if he succeeds. Thanks for the encouragement! – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 03:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear it was a hoax. I'll keep an eye on this page. --Viriditas 04:45, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

So does this mean I didn't make it? – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 07:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
