| == re:Guinea pig == | |||
| Well, calling me a deletionist in general is probably fair. But in this case, it's not. The rule of thumb with uncited claims (forget where I saw it, probably just WP:V or the like) is: if it's potentially false but unharmful, just leave it and fact tag it. If it's uncited and potentially harmful, remove it. In an article which is supposed to represent the very best of Misplaced Pages, I consider it harmful for outlandish claims involving the eating of animals which most astronauts (read:Westerners and Russians) would find repulsive as food to stay without a very reliable citation. ] <sup>]</sup> 17:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Re:RfA == | |||
| "''I really would look at her 9K edits in conjunction with the diff you stumbled upon''" True, that's what I did when I thought it was a one off incident and had supported initially. My point was not that LaraLove had a disagreement with someone (which I know happens all the time) but that she happened to question his motives. That is what I asked in the question and like I said, she is free to answer or not. Just know that I withdrew not because of the single incident but because she apparently continues to believe that she is right in questioning the other person's motives just because he thinks GA is pointless. This issue I think is significant because she takes any insult to GA too personally and, as Christopher Parham says, adopts an "us vs. them" approach which can only be counterproductive. And to be fair, if she answers the question honestly, I would probably change to oppose (that is my understanding from our off-wiki conversation; I just wanted a clarification for that). That is all I can say here but I am willing to give you a more detailed explanation on email. As for my belief about RfAs (rehashing old conversations etc.): I believe some things ''have'' to be raked up. How would I know I can trust a user as an admin unless I hear the candidate's interpretation and unless I know that they have changed/not changed since then? But I always ask optional (and I mean really optional) questions when I am in doubt. How the candidate responds to the question (whether they answer tactfully or brutally honestly or dishonestly) tells me something more about them. Usually, I ask a question and then support or oppose and I have always thought that if someone does not answer the question, I'll just abstain from that RfA altogether. I believe I am giving a good chance to the candidates when I ask them to explain the matter from their view. What they make of that chance is their decision. - ]] ] 09:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :"''If I did that much work at GA, I'd take things personally as well.'': True, I am not so involved in any process, so I wouldn't know. The articles I work on are simple things with no controversies. But if you analyze what I said, you'll see that I only asked about something that ''will'' affect how the candidate reacts to something as an admin. AGF is a pet peeve of mine (another example of which you can see ]), hence the withdrawal. "''we have different approaches''": it appears so. :) - ]] ] 19:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
