One user proposed "real names only", to which I replied along the lines of a possible "forced commitment scheme", or maybe a key-list or clearnames vs. usernames (stored on a secure Wikia-server, e.g.).

== Not an insinuation at all,. actually... ==

Having seen The Sunshine Man's answers, I actually think it's pretty unequivocal that he had no idea what he was talking about. Wouldn't it be far better for a user who wants to be an admin to learn policy on their own through example and reading things like XfDs, policies, and guidelines instead of guessing, getting a yes/no, and then getting a correct answer they can then regurgitate on an RFA so they can "prove" they know what it means to be an admin? You may see it as a tool; I see it a crutch and an excuse not to become more conversant with policy on one's own. ] 12:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
:You will see a link to my admin coachee page here - ], what I do is let him create his own thoughts and idea's, but guide him to important area's that he should know as an administrator. He writes a different essay each week, on a core issue such as ] or ] - I don't tell him what to write, I just tell him the area to do the essay on. Wouldn't you agree that this may help a user look at depth into key area's of wikipedia without me holding his hand? You go back to TSM having no idea what he is talking about, I disagree, he knows how this place works - he has just been a little misguided in a few area's - that's where an admin coach can help pick up on mistakes ealier than a full blown RfA would, it simply prepares users for adminship better. Some users can pick it up themselves, others need guidance, but with that guidance, they can still make excellent admins in the long run. ] 12:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
::I did go over the page you linked to quite carefully, and as a considered response, I would say I'm still mixed on the value of coaching, and here's why (bearing in mind I'm using "coachee" in general terms, but based on what I've seen thus far for TSM and Cremepuff): for the AfD listings, when there were ten votes before the coachee's vote, I honestly was unable to tell whether or not it was original reasoning or parroting of earlier votes. Original reasoning was clearer when the coachee's vote was second or third, so clearly there could be some improvement to the AfD coaching process to guarantee actual thought about policies, leading to a better indication of understanding. I mean, if 10 people say OR, and then I say OR, a third party only has my word to decide whether I thought of that on my own, or just followed the crowd.
::I see a similar problem with the policy essays - you're saying "write about this policy", and the majority of the essays are simply a summary of that policy. I don't know about you, but ''I'' certainly haven't memorized WP:N, so is the coachee simply synthesizing and summarizing, especially when there are applicability missteps or omissions in the "original thought"-type sections, or does the coachee really understand the policy? I think a better way to go about this is to really put some infrastructure into this, and have some testbed AfDs to see what coachees do with a practical application of policy ''without'' a cushion of other voters.
::My concern is that it does not seem possible at the moment, using this particular process, to ascertain whether the coachee is retaining (which is the ideal goal) or regurgitating (which is what it seems like from the limited examples). Obviously, we want admins who know (or can find) policies, and can apply them properly, not just admins who know the answers to the general questions that may come up on an RfA. I suppose the principle of coaching is sound, but I think the fundamental questions that I see show that there's still room for improvement in practice. ] 14:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed that you created the category for this report so I guess you are looking into it? I'm not one of the regular editors of ], but I put it on my watchlist a couple of weeks ago when there was some trouble that got reported on ]. Looked like pretty obvious sockpuppetry to me to I figured it would be better for me to report it as an uninvolved observer. These things get so messy when one of the regular editors reports it. Do you think I need to request a checkuser? ] (]) 21:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
:There's no need to request a CheckUser just yet - it seems obvious at the minute that the accounts are the same - so we can just keep on blocking. If it gets any more serious, let me know, because we could try and request an IP check to block the underlying IP's. I'm not actually involved in the case - I just blocked one of the users and saw the suspected sock puppet tag being added later. ] 21:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

== Redoing the insult ==

Now ] has made his uncivil behavior against me only, by crossing out the incivility originally leveled at both myself and Nealparr.

:I can see your point, but there's not much we can really do about it - he struck out his original comments about an editor but not yours, it's not adding any extra incivility - just simply not removing his original comments about you. I think the best thing to do would just remain civil yourself - he's been warned - and if there's any further comments, he will be blocked (but I hope there will be nothing further). ] 00:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you should spend less of your time being an online ] and do some work. Some of us actually have to support your less-than-keen attitude to work. We actually pay for it. So stop dicking around on wikipedia and do your college work. ] 00:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:Calm down sir, I didn't remove your post from ] last time - we had our little disucssion with your other IP address and I left it at that - no need for the personal attacks. ] 00:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::No, "someone" removed it. I stick by my comment that if I'm paying tax money for your education, you need to do some more time studying. Love S ] 00:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Someone did, not me! I spend enough time studying thank you! ;-) ] 00:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::::I hope so mate, cause it looks like you spend a lot of time looking at ]. If you think it's ever going to take the place of a proper ] you're much mistaken, and our money is best spent elsewhere. It's nothing personal by the way, I just think you're a bit of a Floridan sycophant who should be spending their time elsewhere. Love S ] 00:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh and if you want to know why I called you a ], it's cause you removed my comment on a Discussion page. I don't edit or vandalise proper pages, I just try to stimulate discussion. And when I see it removed, I just think of ]. Love Steve ] 00:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:::::PPS hope your house is still dry :)
::::::I spend my '''free''' time editing this amazing encyclopedia :-) The reason why I removed your comment was because the talk page of an article is for discussing the article - not for discussing the man and his merits - that's what a forum is for. Thanks for the concern about my house, it's dryish, but I've had my window open so my rooms all wet :-S Ah well, I guess I'll survive. ] 00:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::::::Don't worry, I'm not a fascist, I'm pretty much down to earth - if you create an account and get to know me, you'll probably see I'm a bit of a laugh (See the rest of this talk page). ] 00:26, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryan. Thank you for your unwavering support and willingness to tie your reputation so closely to my actions by nominating me admin. My RfA passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of ].<br>

Ryan, I'm sorry. I indefblocked ] as a proven sock of ]. For a hint of why, check and compare their latest userpages (esp. Bfissa's deleted one). Basically identical. However, it was checkuser proven. I'm sorry, as I know Trumpetband was adopted by you :( By the way, they were my impostor from last week, too, and there was another one in waiting, also blocked. Not the nicest thing to deal with before going on break - ] ] 08:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
