...actually nominated Connolley for adminship!
I marked up the nomination with strikeout text at four points and appended my signed corrections, and have been 3RR'ed into oblivion and threatened with my first-ever user block. What is this, the borking of Ed Poor?
Ed, do you honestly believe that it is acceptable, even for a fraction of a second, for someone to edit a Request For Adminship, and strike out text like "works well with other editors" and "would make an excellent admin" from the nominator's introduction??
If you oppose the nomination, you enter your vote in the Oppose section.
If you want to comment on the nomination, you make a comment in the Comments section.
I would have reverted your strikeouts in a heartbeat myself, and so would 99% of editors, I'll wager. Even if you DID write the policy on "changing other's comments". Actually, ESPECIALLY if you wrote that policy - I would put it to you that you should therefore be more likely to abide by it than most.
