Hollow Wilerding

Removed by Cecropia 15:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hollow Wilerding (talk · contribs) – Honestly, Hollow Wilerding is simply amazing. She was responsible for elevating The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask article to featured article status and is proceeding to achieve this same success with Luxurious (song). She is very active in the Wikipedian community and participates in several featured article candidate discussions, Misplaced Pages project discussions, and socializes with users frequently about and not about Misplaced Pages. I truly believe that she would make an excellent sysop, though I'm unsure how she'll take the news of being nominated. ;) DrippingInk 03:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Well... wow. I must admit that I did not expect this. For one, luring me away from my computer for ten minutes while filling out an RfA notice sounds a bit... inhumane (just kidding!). Actually, it sounds very interesting. If it was DrippingInk's decision, then I suppose I'll accept. I'm not really looking on the bright side of things though. But who knows! I accept! —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 03:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Support

Oppose

  1. She may be a good writer, but her conduct on WP:FAC at the moment is so incredibly unbecoming of an administrator that I'm gobsmacked she's even been nominated. Ambi 04:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  2. Oppose per her comments on Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Hollaback Girl, specifically , , , , and most of all . I might also mention that I find the general tone on this page absolutely hilarious and this is my second ever vote on WP:RFA. Talrias (t | e | c) 04:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
  3. Oppose. User has only been here since November 5. I also note a suspicion that this is a sock puppet or reincarnation of Winnermario (talk · contribs) and I didn't like these comments. I've no idea whether the sock puppet concern is correct. Perhaps the candidate could comment. SlimVirgin 04:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    SlimVirgin, there are some users who became sysops after approximately two months of being present on Misplaced Pages. Also, you might want to look at the sockpuppet regard below... —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    If sockpuppets normally got articles to featured standard I propose we lift all bans on sockpuppets right away. Talrias (t | e | c) 04:17, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    Impossible, considering I registered this account on Misplaced Pages the same day that User:Winnermario was blocked from editing. Winnermario was able to resume her editing the following day; however, since I registered the very same day, it is impossible for her to be a sock puppet of mine. We are just friends from another website. That is how we know each other. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 14:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    Let me just butt in for a second - In no way, whatsoever, does you registering on that day make it impossible. It is very much possible regardless of when you registered. So how, pray tell, does you registering on that very same day make it impossible for the two accounts to be sockpuppets of eachother? Search4Lancer 14:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    User:Winnermario's IP address was blocked, which indicates that she was unable to edit with an account or anonymously on Misplaced Pages.

    Reasons that thinking is horribly flawed: a.) Dynamic IP addresses, b.) proxies, c.) public terminals. Search4Lancer 14:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    You'll have to explain what the latter "reasonings" are. I'm not familiar with proxies or public terminals. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 14:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    i.) proxy server ii.) those things you find in libraries and cyber cafes that let you on the Internet. :-) Search4Lancer 15:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
    I can no longer participate in this conversation because I have no evidence that I had not travelled to an "internet café". All in all, I am not a sockpuppet of User:Winnermario. If you check her contributions you might note that she was responsible for editing music-related articles only. I've expanded mine to video games, and other areas, covering more ground than she had. Also, the votes presented at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Music/Tables for charts are completely different. I supported the nomination, while she opposed it. This is all I have to give. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

    Pretty much per all? Try again! I believe that you are solely opposing because of the situation at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Céline Dion, and how several users believe your comments to be over-the-top. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

So, if you readily admit that you are not going to become an administrator (at least now, anyway), then why did you relist yourself on the RFA page? That alone is you still hurting your already tarnished rep Search4Lancer 15:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I relisted myself because I had not even received a chance to respond. I have a life outside of Misplaced Pages, and my actions in the past twelve hours had been sleeping. ;) It was the middle of the night over where I am from. I'm not going to reduce the amount of sleep I receive to argue on an RfA all night. That would only be common sense. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:16, 31 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. Whenever an issue requires clean-up or assistance, I will exercise one of the abilities of an administrator, that being from speedy deletion to blocking a vandal. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 03:20, 31 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 exceptionally pleased with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, as I promoted it to featured article quality. I am also quite content with Luxurious (song) and Shakira, both of which I've upgraded to average quality. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 03:20, 31 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. Well I'm positive that I've been involved in edit warring and such, but there are none that stick out in my mind right now. No users have caused me any stress. I believe that when there is less stress floating around, a happier Misplaced Pages community exists. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 03:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
No users have caused you any stress, really? You must be very stress-resistant, which is a good quality in an admin. Many of the people commenting on your several FAC nominations of Hollaback Girl seemed to find interaction with you there a stressful experience for them, in fact some of them commented on your reactions and demeanor as being difficult to deal with. Do you have any comment? Here is the second discussion, in case some voters are interested in how you dealt with this conlict (because it was very conflictual). Disclosure: I was involved in the discussion, and some of your most ... surprising responses were for me, like the famous "How dare you?". I feel obliged to vote Oppose. Just from my own encounters with you and your demeanor on FAC, I would recommend you to become a little more adjusted to the place before you apply for adminship. --Bishonen | talk 04:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
With all due respect, feel obligied. It will hurt the RfA, but it won't penetrate my soul. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
That was last month. You honestly believe I need to get adjusted to Misplaced Pages? Please look at my contributions. I am on everyday; I think I'm adjusted. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't believe it was stress. I did not let it get to me at all, really. I understand that I'm not going to receive the Admisistrator treatment, and truly, it's fine by me because I knew my attitude at WP Talk:FAC was going to decrease my chances greatly. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 14:32, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
If you have any sense of having stressed others, and regret for it, it might be good for your next RFA to acknowledge it, rather than just say you knew people would complain. Bishonen | talk 14:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC).
I never said that I have stressed others, mainly because I don't have that knowledge. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
