Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Barkeep49

This is an RfA talk page.

While voting and most discussion should occur on the main RfA page, sometimes discussions stray off-topic or otherwise clutter that page. The RfA talk page serves to unclutter the main RfA page by hosting discussions that are not related to the candidacy.

Please remain calm and civil in discussions on both pages, avoiding personal attacks and harassment. Uninvolved administrators can still fully intervene in RfAs.
Discussions should stay on-topic; consider moving or continuing discussions that are going off-topic elsewhere.
Move discussions not germane to the candidacy here, then link them with {{subst:rfan|dm|name of section header}}, indented to the original vote. Be conservative in using the template; obvious trolls and disruptive participants need not be noticed.
Otherwise, avoid starting discussions here if they would be of interest to RfA participants and can fit on the main RfA page; generally, discussions should begin at the "General comments" section or as an indented reply to a vote.

Counter

I purged the cache couole of times from one device, then checked from other device; but the tally still says (7/0/0). As of this comment it is (31/0/0). I also checked support section, everything looks fine. Any thoughts? Pinging Xaosflux, and Primefac. —usernamekiran(talk) 15:58, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The tally at WP:Requests for adminship is closer, but it currently says 30 while the actual tally is 34. Definitely weird. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:01, 4 September 2019 (UTC) P.S. I wonder if it relates to the deletion of the sock vote under "oppose"?[1] That made the count into 7/0/0 and that's where it is stuck. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And there you have it. Sorry about that :) ——SerialNumber54129 16:21, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good it's fixed (also, moved this to talk since it isn't about the candidate). — xaosflux ^Talk 18:12, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@FIM, @Xaosflux: but where n what was the problem? —usernamekiran(talk) 21:10, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem was that when the troll vote was removed from Oppose, they also removed the # sign that is supposed to be there to show where to start the first comment. Apparently that messed up the numbering higher up. Restoring the # sign fixed the problem. Don't ask me why, that kind of stuff is way over my head. -- MelanieN (talk) 21:46, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
lol. Thanks for the response Melly. See you around :) —usernamekiran(talk) 22:14, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Essay

I have typed up an essay with some thoughts reflecting on my experience here and what I think we know (and importantly don't know) about RfA at the moment. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:10, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
