# I do not find [[Kimchi|Kimchi.sg]] civil at all. As a matter of fact just the opposite. See his/her comment on my talk page. Accusing someone or threatening with an action, before asking him or her first is actually quite disrespectful. I strongly oppose this person becoming an admin.

#::'''Comment''' for the bureaucrat assessing this RFA. '''Josie the pussy cat is believed to be the sockpuppet of an indefinitely banned user'''. Please see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=58859184 my recent WP:ANI post here], and if I had had any doubt about the identification, her characteristic comments on this page would have utterly removed them.

#:Diffs? If you're referring to where you edited a closed RfA, he appears to have been perfectly civil to me. --[[User talk:Rory096|Rory096]] 21:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
#::I'm truly sorry, Josie, but I sincerely fail to see the incivility you allege at Kimchi's comment. He was merely warning (as others also were) to stop modifying a RfA page which ''had been closed for a month'', which you contended was ''"still ongoing"'', despite being informed that was not the case, and ignoring the header all closed RfA archived nominations display. As far as I can see, no threats were made, but he was just informing you of the possible consequences of said unappropriate action. I don't want you to sway your vote over what I just said, but I humbly suggest you to reconsider your impression of Kimchi.

#:::Ghh. Yes, I think people should be civil to each other, but if ''"hence you had no business editing it"'' is suddenly held up as an example of rudeness, we're getting way, way off base here and well into the land of candy-coated hugs where even disagreeing with someone is just not ''done'', dash it. Kimchi.sg might undoubtedly been a little gentler there, yes, but the fact remains that Josie had no business editing it. (Anyway, as far as civility and personal attacks go, I think [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKimchi.sg&diff=58831701&oldid=58829729 some edits] speak for themselves.) -- [[User:Captain Disdain|Captain Disdain]] 22:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
#::::"You've done the wrong thing and you shouldn't have" isn't a [[WP:ATTACK|personal attack]]. It's a perfectly valid straightforward statement.

#:In response to the large number of responses to my 'oppose vote'. This is what he said to me "..hence you had no business editing it. The nomination is over, and any further editing of the page will be regarded as vandalism."
*I do find the ''no business'', comment offensive. It could have been said in a nicer way, with no candy ass hugs. I am pretty new here and it can and should be assumed that I have a lot to learn. Learn to be kinder to people in your speech. ''kindness'' may not be a Wikipedia policy but it is considered a nicer way to be with people.
#*"will be regarded as vandalism" is an unnecessary comment and '''is a threat.''' ''Be regarded as vandalism?'..please. Anyone can see that this just plain nasty. [[User:Josie the pussy cat|Josie the pussy cat]] 23:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
#::Phædriel said "I don't want you to sway your vote over what I just said, but I humbly suggest you to reconsider your impression of Kimchi." You sure could have fooled me, Phædriel.

Kimchi.sg

Discuss here (28/2/1) ending 20:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Kimchi.sg (talk · contribs) – I have been contributing to Wikipedia for about 1 year - my first edit was on 13 June 2005, but I did not really edit much until about February this year. Following the concise list style of Petros471, here are my contributions according to several criteria:

  • Edit count? Not a lot, but not too little either. The breakdown with Interiot's Tool 2 is given in the Comments section.
  • Time around? Mentioned that already. :)
  • Personal attacks? I can't recall having made any.
  • Edit summaries? Yes.
  • Email enabled? Yes.
  • Controversial user page? No.
  • Edit warring or blocks? No.

Project space-wise, I have been involved mostly in RfA and AfD, with an occasional voice in DRV, MfD and other deletion discussions. For articles, I edit a varied choice of articles, starting off with the Singapore-related ones, but also doing cleanup and wikifying. Although I'm not a prolific vandal fighter, I do revert vandalism, especially to watchlisted pages. The community can hereby decide whether I am suitable for the janitor's mop. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia in this capacity. Please take the time to answer a few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.
A: I anticipate helping with the occasional backlog at C:CSD, closing AfDs (and revive WikiProject Deletion sorting along the way), updating Did You Know? on the Main Page if the entries grow stale (there have been recent occasions when the section wasn't updated for a whole day!), responding to page protection requests, and tacking the backlog at Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A: I'm most pleased with my changes to hanging, because my re-organisation of the article (together with edits by Karada and Arwel Parry) effectively ended a 4-month long revert war. Between 6 December 2005 and 27 April 2006, the article did not last more than 3 days unprotected without the same POV paragraph being pushed in (typical example). I added in a summarised and sourced version of the Singapore paragraph, and the vandalism ceased after that. I also seem to have a soft spot for company articles, having rewritten ProgressSoft from scratch (which survived DRV and a 3rd AfD), adding references to RightNow Technologies [2], and rewriting KLG Systel from a copyvio into an encyclopedic stub. [3] Of the 6 articles I have written which made it to DYK, the most difficult to write was Escape from Paradise, as I do not have a copy of the book and had to work with the authors' website, which contains strong anti-Singapore government POV, and extract material from there NPOV enough for the 'pedia. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: I have previously been stressed over the repeated insertion of unsourced POV statements into the hanging article by anon editor(s). As I knew the statements had to be documented somewhere, I went to Google for sources once I had the time, and inserted a shorter version with references. (See answer to question 2 for details.) The same has been true for The Straits Times; for this article, I have made a couple of reverts and refrained from further edits to the article, because I have my bias towards these claims. I believe that over time, we can still work the claims into the article in a verifiable, NPOV manner. I will deal with future stress by 1. stepping back (including the use of Wikibreaks) and thinking about peaceful ways to end the conflict, and 2. discussing changes or actions with others before deciding what to do. Kimchi.sg 20:00, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional questions

4. What is your view on Wikipedia:Ignore all rules in particular, and importance or otherwise of process in general? Petros471 20:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
