Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:19, 17 August 2012

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on another website, wonderful, please note that this is all about Darwinbish and not about being fussy, but instead a consensus among Misplaced Pages contributors about how Darwinbish should lead the way. Misplaced Pages has policies and guidelines regarding the encyclopedia's content but consensus is gauged based on how deeply you understand the need for Darwinbish, not by your dumb thoughts on anything else. However, you are invited to participate if you want Darwinbish to lead the way. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

Darwinbish

Voice your opinion on this candidate (talk page) (83/3/1); Scheduled to end late Devonian period (UTC), era of fish developing legs!

Naughty Rexxs! darwin 20:35, 12 January 2011 (UTC).

Nomination

Darwinbish (talk · contribs) – My lords, ladies and jellyspoons, assorted zoo animals, kitchen equipment and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri, I am both pleased and proud (and standing on a chair) to present to you Darwinbish. From her first appearance as an alternative account of Bishapod in October 2010, Darwinbish has proved herself to be a resourceful wikipedian, creating her own custom signature little ankle biter (why do you think I'm standing on this chair), and has even had a go at creating her own sock User:Umlaut-Löttchen (although that hasn't gone so well, has it young fishersnapper). After acting as my campaign manager in the recent Arbitration Committee Elections, where I ran on the ticket "Vote for me or the ankles get it!" Darwinbish is now fully au-fait with all the relevant policies and ready to take her place as a fearsome vandal fighter, even handed dispute resolver, and all round good fish-with-legs. Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:07, 15 December 2010 (UTC) *Can I get down off this chair now?

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

• BITE! darwinbish 14:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

• Er, could us twins run as a double feature, please? Complement each other! Good twin, evil twin! darwin 14:39, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

I'll NomNomNom you if you like Fainites scribs 19:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?

A: Mainly WP:BITE-ing. darwinbish 20:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?

A: Uh, well... Hmm. Let's see. My top achievements include teaching Sinebot better manners, working to remove crap browsers among wikipedians, and teaching use of logic on Misplaced Pages, sorely needed! Especially undistributed muddle!

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A: Conflicts? Stress? Oh, no, never! darwinbish 20:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

Answer P.S. On second thoughts, there will soon be stress and conflicts if you miserable lot don't start supporting below! Come on! Chop-chop! darwinbish 20:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

The sockpuppetry can be forgiven, but can you cite any peer-reviewed sources showing you have never ever been under stress on this website? I only ask because I don't understand how ankle biting can be stress-free. Or is this a means of skirting stress? If so, how does this jibe with WP:BITE? Gwen Gale (talk) 20:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Is stress-free for biter, stressful for bitee. See? Important qualification: only works for evil biters. Me uniquely evil, just the admin Misplaced Pages needs! Go support, mrs bitee, or run for the hills! little ankle biter 21:10, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

Skirts, ok, that's meaningful. As to length, are you hopelessly wanton, or are you a hopeless prude? At which level of Kohlberg's stages of moral development does this put you and why would this boost one's trust in you with the bit? I mean, ankles show at both lengths. Is this about biting, or being bitten? Gwen Gale (talk) 21:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Read more of this fascinating discussion at the talk page. --RexxS (talk) 22:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Gwen, look at Little Ankle Biter shape. How wear skirt at all? I wear cosy... all-in-one Bish-sack for adminning. Tex illustrate, please? Get out paintbox, Tex! Chop-chop! ... Why Tex not here? darwinbish 13:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC).

Can I have Boy-sack? Mr Tex? darwin 13:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC).

Will you stop changing the subject, you silly minnow? Go support! darwinbish 13:31, 16 December 2010 (UTC).

As requested, here is Darwinbish in her custom made all-in-one Bish-sack (or Bish-shopping bag) made exclusively for adminning. Tex (talk) 14:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Oh! Much fetching on you! Why can't all admins be evil and hide in brown paper shopping bags? Need Darwinbish, show the way. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Much better than Elen arbcom robe! Tail sticking out handsomely! darwinbish 23:32, 16 December 2010 (UTC).

Additional optional question from Gooch

4. Why you bite you twin? Goochy 16:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

A: Why not? darwinbish 20:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC).

Additional optional question from SirFozzie

5. Well, I can ask this question, since I'm wearing leg greaves and iron boots. You have shown remarkable prowess at biting ankles.. but I think people here at RfA are looking for a variety of editing experience. If/when you are made an administrator, would you be willing to broaden your experience to biting other things such as fingers, arms, and unmentionable parts? SirFozzie (talk) 07:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

A: Interesting question, gimme a minute to think... Not sure, I think I'll stick with the ankles, there's often quite a queue on the anklebiting board... Hee hee hee! darwinbish 14:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

Additional optional questions from Kiore

6 What was the process of Abiogenesis on earth?

A: Users arose from inanimate matter through creation of socks. Thus twins created by Bishapod, Bishapod created by Bishzilla, Bishzilla created by Bishonen und so weiter, filling up inanimate project with milling of myriad live socks. darwinbish 19:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

7 How did sexual reproduction evolve?

A Hmmmm. Uh... step by step? darwinbish 19:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

7A Did it evolve once or separately for plants and animals

Plants fuck too? This a very educational RFA! darwinbish 19:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

8 Big crunch or Heat death of the universe?

A Small crunch, due to crunching of innumerable sharp little teeth. darwinbish 19:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

9 (Dis)Prove P=NP

A Still working on that one! Is needed for proper use of block button...? darwinbish 19:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC).

17. Hell yeah! Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
18. Support: I have every confidence this candidate would not misuse the tools. Eat them, maybe, but not misuse them. With regard to the concern that the candidate is non-human, in reviewing the current list of admins I note the presence of a chihuahua, a porpoise, a mouse, an eagle, a crustacian, a gerbil, and most to the point a dragon, among others, so that precedent was set a long time ago. I trust Bishzilla to know when to give users a gentle hug and when it's time for something more like aggressive taunting with a suggestion of death. I hope that's okay, 'zilla, please don't kill me.

21. I, for one, welcome our new monster overlords. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 17:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
22. Weak Support - Mentions about the fact that candidate graduated from admin school with a bare minimum of collateral damage, maiming only three newbies raise concerns of disregard for WP:BITE but I trust the candidate has left all that behind. Roadmr (t|c) 17:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

    Girls can't be knights now? What kind of terrible world of 1382 do you suppose are we living in?! - Francis Tyers · 18:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

25. Kill all humans - with so many of them editing it's obviously gonna cause a near catastrophe of a systemic bias, 'bout time they were culled. So, Bishzilla's eaten a few editors here and there, <BURP> who hasn't, all it taught me was Mexicans give me indigestion... I stand in awe of Bishzilla, well I pretty much have to stand for everything since Bishzilla ate my furniture last week, I'm not complaining mind you, it was only fair, it was all paisley. The answer to quesiton one really swung it for me though.--Alf 18:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
26. Would normally oppose or not vote at all because of candidate's low edit count, but am happy to support on condition that you promise to be as like Bishonen as possible! Musical Linguist 19:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

    SUPPORT!!!! I see that this has been closed! The end of the world is now a likely prospect! I told you folks to vote suppport...think of your homes, your children, your goldfish! Don't you see what you have done?! Oh, the horror, the horror!--Bigfoot 19:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

    Naughty editor already voted! LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:26, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

    Obviously this voter had already voted, given the date stamp, but they had also already voted in the present election... It's not easy cleriking these things! LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

    Don't be so fussy. Darwinbish is hungry, enough wishy washy fuffle and lungery. Gwen Gale (talk) 15:51, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

31. Support all fire breathing dragons. Dragons flight 23:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
32. Reluctant support I'm afraid that the candidate's answers to my questions were perhaps too calm and collected. I feel that I cannot have confidence in an administrator who cannot be relied on to over-react and act rationally. But most of all, I am afraid. Hence the reluctant support. Don't want to end up with bits of chewed up cat or hedgehog in my garden, after all. They play havoc with the Flymo blades. Bubba hotep 22:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
33. Saurpport. Adminship should be no big deal, although the prospective admin candidate seems to be a big deal. Besides, we need more rouge admins. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 02:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
