Voice your opinion (2/3/1); Scheduled to end 17:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Bishzilla (talk · contribs) - Bishzilla would be the ideal administrator. Anyone who says otherwise is itchin' for a fight. She graduated from admin school with a bare minimum of collateral damage, maiming only three newbies, two of whom may yet recover. It is my grave honor to nominate this proud giant reptile. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Grrrr!!! Bishzilla | grrrr! 00:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Bishzilla honest candidate, upfront, admit unusual status as sockpuppet of admin (Bishonen). Bishzilla can't help her origins, has risen above! Claim independence, has escaped puppeteer control. (Bishonen scared of her!) Zilla deserve her own bit! Will not object to removal of weenie Bishonen's bit, Zilla more useful admin!

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Misplaced Pages backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

A: Toooooools! Less talk, more tools!

2. Of your articles or contributions to Misplaced Pages, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?

A: Zilla not strong content contributor. Motto: "More bull, less writing." Zilla more wikignome. Take pride in history merge of Talk:Lufthansa with Portal:India. Complicated! Bishzilla cleverly make talkpage link for Zilla sig . See how cool: Bishzilla | grrrr! Looking forward to developer status!

Bishzilla unjustly accused of being merely popular #wikipedia IRC personality. Clearly untrue, active on wiki also, kindly and helpful. See for example Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar from User:MONGO. No bribes involved, MONGO never on IRC, great guy!

Bishzilla learn good admin personality in admin school. Receive successful personal coaching in good sense of humor, laugh uproariously at Megatokyo Rent-A-Zilla, at which would only have stared when newbie. Thank you admin school!

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: Bastique place welcome template when Zilla already welcomed by the venerable Bishonen, grrrr, cause much stress! Deal with by eating welcome wagon, will continue to eat those. Admin school say not eat users themselves in future, eat inanimate objects only. Check. Bishzilla eager to learn! Will apologize to Bastique's family as soon as located. (Seem to be in hiding.)

Gurch block Zilla for accidentally squashing Gurchzilla, grrrrr, unjust and stressful! Zilla deal well, graciously accept apology and compensation, hug little user. Oops. Zilla learning to hug little users more gently, always ready to learn, very keen user! Give tools soon!

4. If you become a bureaucrat, will you pledge not to discuss promotion or non-promotion of potential admins on any other forum during the course of nominations and especially when making a decision? And to discuss issues of promotion or non-promotion only with other bureaucrats, in their talk, where such discussion would be transparent? (I admit it might be a bit early to ask this, but you never know...) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ais523 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

General comments

Discussion

Support

1. 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 a 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.

2. In the interest of not being burnt to a crisp, I Support this candidate. (If you need help answering optional questions, you can use my cheat sheet). NoSeptember 13:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose 47 edits...--Wizardman 16:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

   This kind of editcountitis makes me sick! Do you trust the user or not, that's all that matters. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

   I've actually gotten bette with that, supporting peope with only 1500-odd edits. However, I can't tell whether ou would be good with the tools or not. And because I can't tell, I therefore can't trust.--Wizardman 16:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

   And may I add that hhe's technically already an admin, no need to be a double-admin.--Wizardman 17:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

   Technically yes, but wienie bishonen useless! Zilla better admin! Bishzilla | grrrr! 17:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

2. Oppose. No mainspace. – PeaceNT 17:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
3. Strong Oppose Edit count is an extreme consideration and the answers to the questions are quite weak, especially to question one, I'm not sure whether I'd trust this user just yet. Give it a few months and about 3,000 mainspace contribs and work in policy areas then I'd probably support. Tellyaddict 17:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
