USERNAME

Voice your opinion *This appears to be a silly joke - can this nomination be speedily closed? Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 06:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC) This farce honored nomination should be sent to BJAODN. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 07:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC) (0/0/0/2); Scheduled to end 16:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Captaindansplashback (talk · contribs) � Captainsdansplashback has made various important edits mainly on music entries in Wikipedia. He is dedicated and hardworking and rarely feels the urge to vandalise Wikipedia pages. He requests adminship as this would give him the power to ban users who are using Wikipedia for the wrong reasons, he also would bring a strong democracy to Wikipedia unlike the dictatorship that is currently running Wikipedia currently Captaindansplashback 16:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I accept:


Questions for the candidate

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

1. What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog and Category:Administrative backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I would slave away at my computer for hours removing vandalists and the like and taking my time to edit pages. I will be quite strict with blocking users, if they use bad grammer or puntuation I will send them a warning to tell them if they ever do it again. They will be blocked because bad English is not tolerated.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any with which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I am pleased with my edit on We Are Scientists. I shows that I am willing to make serious edits aswell as comical ones.
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: I had a conflict with the user, Brookie. I can say it caused me a vast amount of stress. He claims he is an admin but I beg to differ. If you gave me power I would immedietely block this Brookie from editing Wikipedia and make it clear he is not welcome. However the conflict with Brookie was short-lived as he was trying to pick a fight on me when I said I stood for equal rights but I informed him that I wanted none of that and told him not to use quotations as a weild of power as Wikipedia is not a warzone.
Optional question from ais523
4. You don't seem to have enough edits for me to gauge your opinions on policy, so I'll just ask instead. What is your opinion on WP:CSD#A7? Do you think that WP:N should be a policy, guideline, or essay? Do you think that WP:NOT is a needed basis to delete articles about non-notable things, or do you think that WP:V, WP:CITE, and WP:RS are sufficient?
A: Frankly I think that WP:CSD#A7,WP:RS and the like are a load of gibberish which if a user were to use I would block he or she for non notable nonsense. I feel that users should use the language, which people generally understand such as English however I would except French, Spanish and possibly German. I would discourage admins from using this derranged computer speak on Wikipedia and tell them to use it only in the privacy of their own homes where it is not exposed to innocent users who may become scared or offended by these phrases.
General comments
  • See Captaindansplashback's edit summary usage with mathbot's tool. For the edit count, see the talk page.
  • Just to let everyone know I have been blocked before but it was Wikipedia who was to blame. They were silencing my passion for freedom. Anyway I have changed my ways I have learnt that voicing an opinioon does not help, you must become an Admin and silence others opinons.

Discussion

Support

  1. MrFudge: I support this lad as he seems to be well versed in good english punctuation which is essential for an admin and he only seems to have good intentions. But we'll have to restrict him from attacking this Brookie person to an extent. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mrfudge (talk • contribs). This template must be substituted.
  2. I support Captaindansplashback's request for adminship. I have seen and been impressed with his previous edits especially the recent one on Art Brut which I found to be particularly well-researched and informative. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.131.109.95 (talk • contribs). This template must be substituted.
  1. I believe that Captaindansplashback has every right to become an admin. You lot are all oppressing him like the fascists you are. I also think that the optional question that you presented for him was grossly unfair as it is clearly in some kind of code which no person who is not in on your viscious plot could understand. I would also like to know why the username Ultimate Jihad! is unsuitable and suggest one of you admins (as you call yourself with your sly codewords) unblock him.

Oppose

  1. Captaindansplashback spends a lot of time trying to be funny. However, he may not be as humorour as he thinks he is. See: [[1]] Drunken Pirate 02:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I can only assume that this application is a joke! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 05:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

Hams

  1. Definitely hams. -- mattb @ 2006-12-06T03:36Z
  2. Hams: Clearly. ---J.S (T/C) 03:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TINC

  1. Unconditional cabal support, on the condition the cabal exists. Which it does not. ^demon[omg plz] 03:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Clearly the only reasonable solution, per the Dirac equations. Seriously, what IS this? -Amarkov blahedits 05:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Arrr. Per Amarkov. riana_dzasta 06:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

High Comedy

  1. Comedy of the highest caliber, but not ready for the mop just yet. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 03:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Giraffe and brightly coloured machine tools

  1. Nine article edits is fairly close to the 1000 or so I demand, but not close enough, pernickity editcounter that I am. So sorry, but no. Next candidate, please! Grutness...wha? 06:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC) this is getting close to BJAODN status...[reply]
  2. Only because I can't figure out if it's WP:TINC or High Comedy. Either the user feels genuinely repressed (for some reason), or s/he's just goofing around. Patstuarttalk|edits 06:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
