thread_title: Edit summary

message: All this "question" business is nothing new—nor is the fact that some people don't like being questioned. Candidates are not applying for a job, they are offering us something (their time, and the willingness to help with housekeeping). I still stand by my comments from 2004 made here and here, in the context of my own admin nomination. Don't forget that we all are volunteers. Cheers, Lupo 08:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some historical perspective 

message: I've taken the liberty of removing the tally, which I think misleads a lot of editors into believing that RFA is a vote. --Tony Sidaway 10:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a vote and it requires a certain percentage to pass (75% give or take a bit according to concessions I believe). Removing anything which facilitates participation is a grave error I feel as it inhibits participation. Did the nominee request this? cheers,  Casliber | talk  |  contribs 10:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm.......Hey Ragesoss care to give some input on how you want your RfA to run? Tally or no? cheers,  Casliber | talk  |  contribs 10:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  Casliber, your reply reveals the problem: that you incorrectly believe it to be a vote and you even go so far as to cite a required percentage. --Tony Sidaway 10:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The bureaucrats have been working very hard to make people believe that RfA is a vote (by the way they close most RfAs). If you want to change that, please change the behaviour of the bureaucrats instead of claiming that RfA is not a vote when it behaves like one. Kusma (talk) 10:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The bureaucrats don't determine whether Wikipedia:Requests for adminship (RFA) is a vote of not, although on numerous occasions they have indicated clearly that they believe that it is not.    It is a tool for deciding the consensus of the community on the suitability of an administrator candidate. --Tony Sidaway 10:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah...and numbers help decide what consensus is. The nearer to %100 the nearer to absolute consensus. In any case it is one thing to withhold a vote but another to substantially and unilaterally alter the format. cheers,  Casliber | talk  |  contribs 10:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
