Explanation of my votes

edit

I do not vote on the vast majority of RfAs. This is primarily because I only vote when I have an opinion on a user, and I am not familiar with most of the candidates.

Supports

edit

I will support whenever I see a candidate that, based on my interactions with him/her, I believe would make a good WP:administrator.

Opposes

edit

You will very rarely see me oppose an RfA. Most users that I do not believe are qualified for adminship don't have a snowball's chance of passing one anyway, and thus why antagonize/pile on? In the rare case that I see a candidate that has an RfA with a good chance of passing, and I still believe the user is unqualified, I will carefully analyze the RfA and the user's contributions, and oppose. To this date, that has not happened. All of my opposes have been to RfAs that didn't have a chance of passing anyway, back when I still opposed in those cases.

Neutrals

edit

I will never vote Neutral on an RfA, as it is pointless. If I have no opinion, I don't vote. If I have a comment on the RfA but not an opinion, I will put the comment in Discussion or under a different vote in the RfA.


here are some RfAs I have voted on:

RFA Thanks

edit

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. --Sharkface217 20:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

edit

Hi Enigmaman; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 21:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
