Can you strike your !vote rather than deleting it? &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  12:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what advantage that has. &#40;&#40;&#40;The Quixotic Potato&#41;&#41;&#41; (talk) 21:19, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's for transparency reasons.— CYBERPOWER  ( Message ) 23:19, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make sense to me. If someone moves from neutral to support (for example) then it is not required to mention that (even though some people do preface their !vote with, for example "moved from neutral"). &#40;&#40;&#40;The Quixotic Potato&#41;&#41;&#41; (talk) 13:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Do not edit my !vote again. &#40;&#40;&#40;The Quixotic Potato&#41;&#41;&#41; (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course it doesn't make sense to you. Please see WP:REDACT. Please also try to remember this is a collegiate and collaborative environment. Thank you. &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  13:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In a collegiate and collaborative environment people don't write stuff like: "Please also try to remember this is a collegiate and collaborative environment" and "Of course it doesn't make sense to you". Please read WP:REDACT. &#40;&#40;&#40;The Quixotic Potato&#41;&#41;&#41; (talk) 13:13, 30 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment At RfAs and RfBs, the practice is to strike comments as opposed to outright removing them.  Enigma msg  00:16, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 July 2017
I want to voice my opinion on User:SoWhy, who has applied for bureaucratship. If you want my answer then I support him. ABEER!! (wanna talk?) 07:28, 30 July 2017 (UTC)  ABEER!!  (wanna talk?) 07:28, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * odd for an editor with so few votes to have an opinion, or even know what a Crat is, or where this discussion is taking place. Out of curiosity, is this your first account at Wikipedia?  You've only been here a few days, and yet your are commenting on bot discussions and Crat discussions.  It would be dishonest if I didn't admit this looks really unusual to me. You even managed to find and edit your editnotice  which is really, really, *really* unusual for someone with 3 days experience.  Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 12:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Wow. To put it in context- I've been here some time- and I didn't even know that was a thing... &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  13:02, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Get a friendly functionary to run a CU. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Seeing the range they're using, and the articles they've been editing, it's that the account belongs to this guy. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Adding to this the considerable overlap is their editing, I'll block the sock. Favonian (talk) 13:18, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The master also had multiple image copyvios at Commons, related to articles edited here by both master and sock, which have now been deleted. The motivation for this particular ill-advised post is probably 's contribution here. That article, as it stands, is utter drivel, but I don't disagree with it being kept, although I'd probably prefer it to be a redirect. -- Begoon 18:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Normally, I would have used the CU flag, but I knew that one would be around. RfAs are to CUs what donut shops are to cops ;) They can't help but to hang out. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 23:13, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You mean you knew the sock would show up?  Enigma msg  00:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I mean that several CUs monitor RfXs very carefully, and me simply making that first statement was enough to draw attention. Dennis Brown - 2&cent; 17:12, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok.  Enigma msg  03:16, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
