RFA
I withdrew because I didn't think that the threshold of consensus, roughly 75–80 percent support, would be reached in the remaining two days. Some of the oppose votes were legitimate, based on lack of edit summaries which I will (and have been) working on. I am not naive however, I know that the sudden burst in Iranian Wikipedians (in particular those who Zereshk spammed to get keep votes in the Miscoceptions of Iran Afd) voting oppose on my RFA wasn't a coincidence particularly after Zereshk hinted that he would use e-mail to get votes after what happened in the Afded article in which he was blocked for internal spamming. What is really sad though is that I don't have anything against Shi'a or Iranian Wikipedians. I think that we need more of them to be quite honest because of the lack of information in articles pertaining to those groups on Misplaced Pages. But if the aforementioned user goes on Persian/Farsi Misplaced Pages, or talks to other Shi'a/Iranian Wikipedians and says things about me out of context well then there is really nothing I can do about it.
Another thing that amused me was the last oppose vote was from a user that hasn't been active for three months (four months really if you don't count two minor edits in April) and before that only editted articles pertaining to his website Spinnwebe who's afd was in fact filled with meatpuppetry.
I'm not really disappointed however, most of the Wikipedians whom I respect voted support and those whom I respect but who voted oppose or neutral voted on legitimate concerns about my lack of edit summaries. I'm sure that if I just continue on the track that I am now and change my habits towards always using edit summaries that next time I'd get consensus for adminship regardless of the vote stacking attempts.--Jersey Devil 22:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
