WanYao

We're down to nine sysops, effectively seven with computer problems and a soon to be resolved misconduct case. And of those seven, at least two are frightened of drama, a trait that is reprehensible in a sysop. Accordingly we need new sysops, and given that I'm never going to be promoted while Boxy holds the position of 'crat, we may as well have Wan.

Wan has been around for years, shows a clear understanding of policy and procedure and is working to resolve contentious issues rather than leave ambiguity as past sysops have. His contributions show him to be extremely active, a trait desired by the community given the unilateral negative outpouring on Daranz's A/RE. He has been attempting to maintain NPOV on suburb pages for more than a good while now to improve the wiki, and has shown a willingness to engage, and if necessary argue, with any user on matters of principle within policy and misconduct proceedings.

I shall segregate the input section into vote type for this bid, to see if it improves clarity. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:18, 13 September 2009 (BST)

• Vouch - Although not as pretty, funny or intelligent as me, Wan would make a safer and more suitable sysop than others already in the position. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:18, 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Against - See now I was just thinking that we might be in need of an extra sysop or two. Unfortunately Wan is Not Good. Cyberbob  Talk  04:21, 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Against - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. no.--CyberRead240 04:28, 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - I disagree with some of his ideas on a/pd, but have no problem working with him. He has the best interest of the wiki at heart, I'm sure -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:43 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Abstain - This vote may change pending others votes and my thinking. Nothing against you Wan, I just want to see Iscariot cry and complain if this doesn't go his way or else I'd vouch now.--SirArgo ^Talk 04:48, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  Vouch - Hell, he would be a nice equation to the team. Like it or not, enough of the newer fairly active users seem to agree with him most of the time--SirArgo ^Talk 05:51, 13 September 2009 (BST)

• Against - Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 05:01, 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Vouch - As long as he commits to editing the wiki and actually reads the whole story of what he's participating in. I don't want to have to fight more of this bantering. Thankfully though, his new PD is being controlled in a more workable and co-operative manor, which is why I like to think Wan has ridden of the only real problem I had with him this year- him not having the time nor effort to read the argument before backfiring. I trust him now. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:06, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  "if it's being used against someone I don't like it's okay because I HATE THEM SO MUCH THEY DESERVE IT" --ddr Cyberbob  Talk  05:14, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  Is there ever a time when someone has an opinion that you don't put down to sheer, petty bias? Don't bother answering, its rhetorical. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:18, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  Okay then Mr Neutrality, explain to me how you can describe the manner in which Wan handled his policy discussion as being "workable and co-operative" when a very sizeable chunk of his posts there have been anything but. Cyberbob  Talk  05:21, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  That's like, just your opinion bro--CyberRead240 05:41, 13 September 2009 (BST)

  Actions speak louder than words and my preference is that he reworks the policy to the wishes of those interested. Beyond that I don't give a shit how much he whinges. Personally though, I don't care about this bid enough to argue for Wan any further, that's his job. I simply wish to vouch him this time. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:44, 13 September 2009 (BST)

• Abstain I haven't seen enough of Wan's recent behavior to really be sure of his current behavior and intentions. But the "discussions" I had with him a while back over a policy showed me that he can pretty much be closed to the "other side's" discussion, even refusing to read their posts. But I can't be sure if he's still like this or if he's changed, hence the abstain. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:30, 13 September 2009 (BST)
• Against recent actions and statements by Wan indicate an inability to act mature when presented with opinions diabolically opposed to his own regardless of any validity those opinions may have. the very fact that Izzy is putting him up for promotion makes the whole bid circumspect.
