Just when you think you've seen it all...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Herostratus
One editor opposes adminship on the grounds that Herostratus has some
nicely executed fake "categories" on his user page:
Categories: Wikipedians who have a crowbar embedded in their skull |
Wikipedians who insist that the word "lobster" be included in every
article | Carbon-based life forms | Wikipedians who are Floyd Alvis
Cooper | Delightfully insouciant Wikipedians | Animated cartoon
squirrels
Others think that his use of non-standard warnings means he doesn't
take vandalism seriously enough (does every admin have to be at the
forefront of the fight against vandalism?)
I can understand people choosing not to vote for admins they don't
admire, but opposing on these weird grounds is... well, weird.
