*That's close to ] - no good, it means that I have to take Brandt's word for it. He's just saying he is (like you are) - he hasn't proved to us that he is. According to ]: ''This guideline does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of evidence to the contrary.'' He hasn't given any evidence; he just says he has evidence. Why doesn't he prove his claims? When he does, then I may support action against Vilerage. Until he does, ] applies. ] (]) 13:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

*It could constitute libel under English law. If a court were to hold that what he said would cause a reasonable person to believe the untrue negative statement, it could.

*Evidence, please? What ''failure to deal gracefully with opposing opinions'' (''sic'')? I'm merely pointing out the flaws in the reasoning.

*:Since it seems impossible to get the last word on one's own vote here without spelling stuff out in details:
*:*Your involvement on the Daniel Brandt talk page, including insinuations that something was libel when you had no basis to believe that it was anything but a typo, was not helpful to the writing of the encyclopedia.
*:*You seem emotionally attached to the result of this vote and contents of this page. That alone indicates the failure to understand that adminship is not a big deal and is enough reason to oppose you becoming an admin.

*That was a fair comment under legal theory and if you had taken the time to check it, I said that it is either a spelling error or a false claim about me. I did not exclude the possibility that it was a typing error. Why are you misrepresenting me? I am emotionally attached to people's perception of me after your misleading comments about me.

Izehar

final (55/1/1) ending 22:34 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Izehar (talk · contribs) – All around good friend of mine, and perhaps one of the nicest Wikipedians here. I would give him the mop, the broom and the bucket without hesitation, as he has given Misplaced Pages more than 4,000 excellent contributions since October. Help make Misplaced Pages better by making Izehar a sysop, now! εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 21:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Accepted, with gratitude to Encyclopedist for his kind words. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  2. Support: will be a fine administrator. HolyRomanEmperor 17:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  3. Support: Meets my one standard: Making him an admin would help Misplaced Pages. The absolutely torrid pace of edits doesn't hurt either. —BorgHunter (talk) 22:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  4. Strong Support Another I thought he was a admin already --Jaranda 22:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  5. Support. A first rate vandal-hunter. Despite his relatively short time here, he seems familiar with policy, common practice and the Wiki culture. I'm sure he'll make a great admin. Owen× ☎ 23:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  6. Strong support - The user's gained a lot of respect from the community because of all her/his contributions and vandal fighting. I believe we will always see more from this user. -- Svest 23:23, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  28. Support Daniel Brandt is a two-faced double crossing mongrel, as he just showed today. He didn't appreciate a single frigging thing I did for him, and instead insisted that I'd "prematurely ejaculated" to use his words, and ruined everything. So he can go screw himself. I thought that he of all people would appreciate someone trying to help, but he can't. So forget it. He's a mongrel. Say what you like about him, I won't object. And as for you Izehar, well, you did the right thing and wrote on my talk page, and didn't over-react, so you did your bit. I am sorry that I was so vigorously supporting this guy. I thought that he was just hardly done by. It turns out that he has no honour whatsoever. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 20:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
    I hope that will be a learning experience for all of us. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 05:13, Dec. 25, 2005

  45. Support See him on the vandal front often. –Abe Dashiell 21:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
  46. Support Zocky clearly has it in for this user. You should always annoy at least one troll before being considered for adminship. freestylefrappe 00:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Strong oppose for the failure to deal gracefully with opposing opinions on this page. Zocky 13:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
I also raise an eyebrow at the habit of challenging people's votes in the vote list. There's a comments section underneath. Zocky 12:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Neutral. Izehar will certainly make a good admin, I have no doubts about it, but presenting barnstars to the inveterate trolls like Bonaparte is unacceptable, for it encourages them to further trolling. --Ghirlandajo 07:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, Ghirlo, you can't refrain a little bit, do you? I deserved it that barnstar as a truely gift from my friend Izehar. I got it because I didn't go further and start an RfC against that vandal who was just provocking me. Now what's your problem? I got it for being nice without being asked. You didn't got one did you? Maybe this explains all... Bonaparte talk 20:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Comments

  • Many people active on this page seem to think that Misplaced Pages is some sort of a club you join to find friends and comrades in arms, defend the walls from vandals and occasionally go on glorious adventures to fight a mythical enemy. Perhaps they haven't read what Misplaced Pages is not. I find the tone of those that challenged Zordrac's vote up there and even went so far as to imply on User talk:Daniel Brandt that Zordrac is controlled by Brandt completely inappropriate for editors, let alone admins. All this about one relatively unimportant article about a person who is barely known outside Misplaced Pages, or indeed inside it, apart from the in-crowd who treats this issue as something extremely relevant, I suspect just for the thrill of it. All of this has absolutely nothing to do with writing an encyclopedia, the only thing that this site is meant to be used for. I would like to ask people who wish to continue this boring and irelevant flamewar (from both sides of it), to do so in the blogosphere. Zocky 12:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A. I currently spend most of my Misplaced Pages time on RC patrol. I also perform Cleanup Taskforce chores, have responded to Requests for Comment and have participated in Peer Reviews. If promoted, I intend to continue those activities, but to also help clearing out that immense workload on the VfD pages, attending to WP:AIV, WP:RPP and WP:AN/3RR. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. I am particularly pleased with my work on English law related articles, especially the ones that I've started and almost exclusively contributed to: Partridge v. Crittenden and R. v. Constanza. I'm also particularly pleased with my work on the article on Reform Judaism. I am of course pleased with everything I've done and if anyone would like to check, it is all listed on my userpage. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. During my time at Misplaced Pages, I've been fortunate enough not to have found myself in any conflicts nor experienced "wikistress". All content disputes I have been in were quickly resolved with a mutually acceptable NPOV solution with no civility breaches and no petty tantrums. I hope for this to continue, but as I understand, sysop duties will entail a lot of effort dealing with some disturbed and angry users. I intend to keep calm and reasonable and hopefully I'll succeed with the application of the if distressed, walk away from the computer, calm down, then come back rule. Izehar (talk) 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
That's hardly true. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 07:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Don't troll. NSLE (T+C+CVU) 07:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
LOL. I don't know what your definition of troll is, but if you are referring to this one: internet troll, then I think that maybe you should read up on it first. I am merely voicing my opinion. Izehar has got in about 10 or 15 fights with unconnected issues in the past 24 hours. That's hardly "never" is it? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Evidence, please? Izehar (talk) 13:35, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
I hate to sound mean, but Zordrac never provides evidence. Just look at W.marsh's rfa. WikiFanatic 05:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
He can't even control himself to the extent of only telling stories not directly contradicted by the evidence. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
