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.

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)

  24. Support - because I thought I did an hour ago! And because I've had good interactions with Izehar, who has made good contribs as well as done some good anti-vandal work. jnothman 12:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  27. Support Fine, friendly user nominated by fine, friendly user. Has my confidence. Xoloz 18:04, 18 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)

  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)
