:*The issues SandyGeorgia brought up were much more specific than "John Brown died in 1885", and yes there are ways of not using the language in the source. SandyGeorgia's concerns were valid given that the material ended up on the main page. I don't see it as being vitriolic - it is what it is, and there's no good way to say to someone, "hey you need to take care in how you present your material". The copyvio/plagiarism issue is a learning curve that's sometimes difficult, but nonetheless a Misplaced Pages policy and not one to be unaware of while seeking adminship. ] (]) 21:56, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | :*The issues SandyGeorgia brought up were much more specific than "John Brown died in 1885", and yes there are ways of not using the language in the source.

::Disagree <small>(and clearly I was using the John Brown bit as an obvious artifice to make a point)</small>. There's plenty of ways to say to someone "''hey you need to take care in how you present your material''" because you just did it yourself Truthkeeper!! - tactfully and with restraint. SG (as usual) invoked hyperbole, screaming into the tea-cloth actions which were utterly unwaranted. The fact she suspected that the candidate was a minor, indeed used it as part of her oppose rationale, just shows her despicable character and why her venemous attitude all over the work is slowly making it less fun for the rest of us. However, I repeat, this is '''not''' the venue to discuss that; I suspect there will never be a venue to discuss her poisonous evil attitude whilst she courts the wiki fraternity to be honest. <small><span style="border:1px solid #0000ff;padding:1px;">] : ] </span></small> 22:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC) | ::Disagree <small>(and clearly I was using the John Brown bit as an obvious artifice to make a point)</small>.

- Er, I would not suggest laying into any of the opposes like that. FWIW, we could apply that same rational to the supports. :P Nolelover 00:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

- Lighten up Sandy. I'm as concerned about this candidacy as you are, but picking unnecessary fights with other editors will only lead to unnecessary drama which might distract from the matters at hand. Miss E. Lovetinkle (talk) 09:24, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
As an oppose vote with no rationale is not harming the candidate very much (unlike, say, a "neutral" comment with some out-of context diffs that supposedly show the candidate's poor judgement: other people will use that as a reason to vote oppose), it is usually good for the candidate if no oppose rationales are given. And that is independent of the question whether the bureaucrats will count the vote or not. (They should: "I do not trust the candidate, but want others to make up their own mind about him/her instead of considering what I think" is a perfectly good reason to oppose without making the reason public). —Kusma (t·c) 07:05, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

...for anyone not watching his page, it appears he has also retired. Damnit -- Nolelover 18:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- ^ What he said. --The Σ contribs 20:43, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- It's always the same. A good user tries for adminship once, fails, tries again, fails again, and retires. It's a shame to see Misplaced Pages's finest go this way. The Utahraptor/Contribs 20:48, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, it seems to happen a lot more when a user has accidentally made copyvios. I am reminded of former arbitrator Rlevse. And there's multiple other examples of users retiring when copyvios are found. Hopefully, he'll return soon enough. Silverseren 21:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Yes indeed...Although, in fairness to Guoguo, I don't think he left so much because of what the opposes said (copyvio concerns), as much as the whole personal info/borderline WP:outing thing. He's a smart chap. Nolelover 21:25, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

- This whole "copyvio" and "close paraphrasing" thing needs a better review. If a source says "John Brown died in 1885" there's precious few other ways of writing that John Brown died in 1885 yet Sandy Georgia in her intemperate hot-headed hatred will call you on it, because of the surreal hidden agenda she seems to have. Nevertheless SG made some fair points in this instance, and I don't dispute her oppose as such - but the vitriolic way she made it was exceptionally disgusting, for many reasons; however this is not the venue to use to discuss that (if indeed there is any venue).
