[edit] Responses

This isn't directed at you daniel, just in general. How many pile-on opposes does a simple mistake need to generate? SQLQuery me! 14:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  • What would you suggest SQL? That a "reason" to oppose can only be used by one editor? Any-one else opposing has to come up with something else? Should we leave it to the 'crats to work out that plenty of people would have opposed but for fear of a "pile on"? Also I see in 6 opposes 1) Kurt's concerns 2)B. 3) Me agreeing and citing another reason (and if you look I also found the diff regarding RFPP but removed it from my comment post entering it as it had already been identified). 4) Deletionist attitude concerns from DHMO, 5) counterproductive tagging from Lankiveil and 6) "gut instinct" from Daniel. A pile-on is a ton of "per editor x" whereas here the opposes are not all even based upon agreeance with B, but also addition of other opinion, albeit maybe through rewording. Pedro :  Chat  14:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I do have to agree with SQL on this (not just because it's my own RfA), that it was an innocent mistake. However, this is when part of my long response to question 3 comes into play. I'm currently angered at myself, but looking at other RfA's, I can see it happen to other people. Not so much as the specific mistake, as the fact that I made a mistake and I get piled with opposes. Look, if someone would have told me about this on my talk page earlier, then I could have known it, and waiting longer to apply. Either way, I'm working on fixing it, and I hope that some of you may reconsider. For those wondering, I'll answer the questions soon when I'm a little more focused (I just woke up, after getting about 5 hours of sleep). Soxred93 | talk bot 14:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
But how many innocent mistakes can you make before it is a reason to oppose? This is not just one small mistake, but it appears you have had some deletion tagging issues in the past. Tiptoety talk 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I have to echo Tiptoety's comment above. Pile-ons can certainly be frustrating for the candidate, especially if the opposition appears to be dwelling on a single issue out of perceived thousands - however, from what Pedro and others have pointed out, this isn't really an isolated incident - it's several. Granted, none of them are devastating (at least in my eyes), but it definitely raises cause for concern, especially the WP:CSD tagging. A few slip ups are acceptable, and if you catch them early that's good, but completely erroneous tagging is a no no. Wisdom89 (T / C) 19:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
<edit conflict>SQL, Are you saying that if someone agrees with an oppose rationale they should not oppose on that basis? RfA is a consensus building process, and anyone who finds a reason compelling should "vote" from that basis. As for pile-on, this RfA is a long way from being decided, and if enough Supporters find the oppose rationale unconvincing consensus may still be reached to promote. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 15:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
My oppose is almost entirely based on others' concerns over SoxRed's apparent propensity toward deletion rather than improvement. My opposition is not set in stone, since I see a lot of good in SoxRed's contributions to the project. It's just that if an editor is quick to tag a page for deletion, someone else has to judge whether to actually delete; With adminship, SoxRed's judgment is unchecked (reversible, yes, but unchecked). I want to see as many admins promoted as we can, and I'm eager for a reason to support. --SSBohio 16:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
