Saw Spiderzed update the sysop activity table, noting that my re-evaluation was due next, on the 1st of October. That's today in Australia. Have at. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 02:16, 1 October 2012 (BST)

- Vouch - After demoting and taking a step back from issues on the wiki I've found myself having less issues with Rev. He's a bit idle lots of the times but he doesn't do wrong when he's here so that's good. I still think some past behavior like dog-piling his way into crat position 'because he could' was a bit unnecessary, but he was good enough that it didn't amount to anything during his term. He also can have desire-to-please issues with friends that can, rarely, bring in some intense disputes regarding his actions when having a conflict of interests. I guess some examples are a goon-related misconduct case and the mayor of malton drama. The latter wasn't a sysop action but it's worth mentioning I guess. Of course, it happens very rarely. But the ensuing debates that occur with Rev (who is a tough arguer and can imo sometimes ignore damning evidence or precedent if it doesn't agree with his point) and the drones can cause many headaches (usually with me it seems) and multiply the drama tenfold. But, it's all a bit tangential in the long run as it's a rare issue in an otherwise stable and helpful sysop. A ZOMBIE ANT 06:09, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Rev's arguing strength is derived from his skill in delivering non sequiturs that don't appear to be non sequiturs at first blush. It's hard to argue with someone who is constantly shifting the topic to something he can better defend without it always being obvious that he has done so. It doesn't help that he'll sometimes argue self-contradictory statements simultaneously if they can be used to counter you, all on the assumption that you won't catch the contradiction (I love doing this to friends in real life, honestly). —Aichon— 07:46, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Consider the wind. Is it not a physical thing, that can be felt upon the cheek, and can move objects? Yet it cannot be grasped with the hand.
So, too, just because one cannot grasp the connection between one idea and another, does not mean that it is not present. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 11:16, 1 October 2012 (BST)- I can see the connections you're making most of the time, but you have to admit that many of them are tenuous or tangential at best, while many others are fabricated from misconstrued words taken out of context, which means that they...HEY! Stop doing that! See? This is what I'm talking about! —Aichon— 03:15, 2 October 2012 (BST)

- Question: Any plans to be more active? If so, what do you think will be the actual result? If not, do you want the job at all, in all honesty? If yes, why? If no, why have you not applied for a demotion yet? —Aichon— 07:46, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- In order: yes, hopeful (medical condition is improving; new, muy expensivo treatment this month should by all accounts have a significant positive effect, plus physical therapy starting soon), N/A, N/A, and technically N/A but I'll answer it anyway: because I signed up for this job and I will keep doing it to the best of ability until it is taken away or I quit this game.
I hope that adequately answers your questions. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 11:16, 1 October 2012 (BST)- Awww man, get yourself healthy dude. Wiki servitude can wait! -MHSstaff 18:31, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- While Harrison makes several salient statements specifying pertinent points of import, I'm still going to go with a Vouch. Rev is seemingly a bit of a walking contradiction. One minute, he'll be cutting through the red tape to get the right thing done (which I really value), the next, he'll be tying everyone else's hands in red tape on something that is clearly the right decision. In both of those, however, he'll be pursuing it for his own reasons, so we can at least count on him to be consistent in that regard. Thankfully, Rev's interests seem to line up with the wiki's most of the time, or at least enough that I think keeping him around as a sysop is useful, but when they don't line up, he's not afraid to be obvious in his biases or pandering, and most of us can probably think of a few examples of that sort of thing on his part. It'd be nice if he was a bit more impartial, but, thankfully, his outside interests seem to also align with helping wikinewbs who have trouble with bureaucracy, and he's been one of their strongest champions on the sysop team. —Aichon— 03:15, 2 October 2012 (BST)

- Question What's your greatest achievement since your last Re-Evaluation? --I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 13:06, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Coming off my motorcycle and giving myself a brain injury. Apparently you're not supposed to pick yourself up, put the chain back on, ride home, and drink the pain away. Who knew? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:38, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Fair comment. Was recently at a festival sponsored by a motorbiking group and the Air Ambulance. Apparently they meet up fairly regularly. --I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 14:05, 1 October 2012 (BST)

- Vouch - Needs to be more active, but all in all, a dependable and knowledgeable sysop. Gets bonus points for not driving the car off the cliff during his first tour of duty as a sysop. -MHSstaff 18:24, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Question - The questions about your activeness sprang up during your previous re-evaluation. The same questions are springing up here, in your current re-evaluation. It seems to me you want to keep the buttons, but are too lazy to actually use them from time to time. So why should the UDWiki community opt to keep you as a SysOps? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:35, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- I have been using the admin tools, as well as taking other sysop-only actions (ruling on A/VB & A/M, discussions on A/D, etc.) If you had checked the links posted at the top of this and every other re-evaluation for this very reason you would know that. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:05, 1 October 2012 (BST)
- Lemme rephrase. You have quite a handful of 1-2.5 weeks breaks between edits. Sure, it's better than before your previous re-evaluation, in which you were gone for a month at a time. But! The majority of your button usage has been over a single day's period before running off again. What actions are you taking, or are planning to take, to ensure you'll be doing SysOps tasks more frequently? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:00, 2 October 2012 (BST)
- Just because I'm not editing does not mean I am not watching. It just means nothing has crossed the intervention threshold. If I see stuff that needs done and isn't, that usually prompts action. (Also, I tend to batch things where I can. Saves on context switches.) ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 01:16, 2 October 2012 (BST)

- Rev is a pretty competent sysop. The only problems I can see are (in increasing order of how much they bother me): his semi-activity, his personal bias, sometimes being a troll, and that goon sig. DAT GOON SIG, -- † talk ? f.u. 16:19, 2 October 2012 (BST)

16:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC) - Vouch Anyone crazy enough to put themselves up for another term deserves all they get. --UroguyTMZ 18:20, 3 October 2012 (BST)
- Vouch Lemme on this bandwagon. --
Org XIII Alts 22:48, 3 October 2012 (BST) - Vouch - Activity level is medium and I've never really interacted with Revenant personally, but seems competent and a good asset to the sysops. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 17:35, 4 October 2012 (BST)
- Question If the choice was between sysopness and the goonsig, what would you pick?--I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, I'm the Ross it deserves. 17:58, 4 October 2012 (BST)
- I'll probably get sick of this sig again soon, while I've apparently yet to get sick of sysopness. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:27, 5 October 2012 (BST)

- Question - Do you plan on voting for Mitt Romney?--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS
LOE ZHU | Яezzens 19:05, 5 October 2012 (BST)
- In order to vote for Mitt Romney I would have to smuggle myself into America, steal somebody's identity, make sure that identity was registered to vote in a state where that vote counted, and then cause myself exactly the right amount of brain damage to be able to vote for Mitt Romney of my own volition while retaining essential autonomic functions.
While, yes, that is technically a plan to vote for Mitt Romney, I submit that I came up with this plan in only to demonstrate that it is categorically not a plan that I plan to execute.
TL;DR: N. O. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 07:02, 6 October 2012 (BST)

Yo! After the return of Boxy, the decision has been made to cycle this as Successful. Revs been clear about issues both here and in RL and is easy to track down when he does become inactive. Just lose the goonsig will you? Good luck with the future you sexy beast.--Ross Less Ness Enter Stranger... 23:50, 10 October 2012 (BST)
