RuneScape:Requests for adminship/Cashman286

Cashman286 (5)
I'm nominating Cashman286 for administrator because he is a veteran editor of the Wiki, making his first edit here on February 25th (7 months), he has rollback abilities, his block log is empty, has about 1,000 edits, and is pretty well known by many users here. 07:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
Oppose - Seems to make obscure/non-direct decisions, some of which seen as in and. I believe an admin must be able to make decisions with appropriate reasoning to use such powers. Tarikochi 14:34, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Support Even though this is his fifth nomination, Cashman is a well known editor, and has been here for some time. Good luck on your nomination Cash! Arnie 14:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Of his 981 edits, 346 are to his own user page and 177 are user talk. That is over 53% of his edits. I know that "Edits do not make the editor", but I think an edtior should have to put some more work towards other areas besides his own Atlandy 14:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose: same reasons as all the others ones I've opposed before. Christine Talk 18:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh and 2 more links to go along with Tari's reasoning: and . Christine  Talk 18:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I really don't wish to be in this discussion, but Whiplash says that smear campaigns aren't allowed. Cashman286 talk 20:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Cash this isn't a smear campaign. She hasn't asked users to oppose you at least I don't think yet. But however I think Christine does have a prejudiced opinion towards Cashman and would say no even if he were doing good things and in someways I would like to make her vote invalid because she is obsessed with his negative rather then his positive. However Cash it would do you some good to not take it that the whole wiki is against you because this is your 5th nomination. Myself I would be happy to lend you my support as I think you are decent of adminship powers. But I currently need to see a thing or two before im absolutely satisfied. --Whiplash 20:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I am also not smearing, I just stated my opinion backed up by facts[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 20:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Never said you were Atlandy. --Whiplash 20:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't it important to look at the negative incidents involving a person for a RfA? If not, someone like Total Rune would be considered acceptable.  [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 00:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

K then. What do you want to see? My userpage has lots of edits because I kinda have an obsession with letting everyone see my skills the way they really are, it's a compulsive thing I have. I admit I'd have far less total edits otherwise. But please, don't hold things against me. I only say things I say because it seems like some people's only purpose here now is to make other people hate me. And I'm talking about the links Tarikochi and Clv left. I was mad at people for what they have done to me. I have feelings too. Saying that, I'm off to a dinner party. Cashman286 talk 20:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't remember doing anything to you before opposing in this RfA. [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 00:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I would like my Admins to be active, and contributing to the betterment of the wiki, not just to their personal page. As a editor, you rank 63rd, which, to me, shows me someone who doesn't make many edits.  An Admin should be active, not just wanting to become an admin becauce the belive that they deserve it.  Rememeber, you asked my opinion[[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 20:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * You're point is kinda mute though as amount of edits dosen't decide if you get to become an admin of not and he is quite active. --Whiplash 20:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * What are the traits needed to be a Admin? Active on the wiki?  Respected by others? If someone spends more than half their time updating their user page, should that person be an admin?  I feel an Admin would be more active in all areas of the wiki then the average person.  Perhaps creating pages, or editing existing ones, Reverting vandalism, using their vote to count for something, not on a whim.   Cash being 63rd in edits shows me that he isn't as active as you may see.. [[image:Scythe.PNG|25px]] Atlandy 23:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Oppose, Cashman's mainspace edits lack both quality and quantity. In the past he has displayed a lack of maturity; as an editor as well as his methods of communicating with others, and his recent comments have demonstrated that little has changed. In addition, he takes personal offense at valid evidence against him. The links posted above demonstrate this lack of judgement and maturity as well; that's not the kind of attitude an admin should have. I feel that comments such as this shouldn't be ignored, given the content of the vote that he was giving assent to. -- 23:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Pretty convincing Mura. Though I don't see why this matters as he is not going for bureaucratship. --Whiplash 23:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It is relevant to adminship, as giving adminship to someone who make inappropriate decisions and easily react to those who simply opposes them is dangerous. [[Image:Bowman_hat.png|12px]]Tarikochi 00:13, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Response to Whip: 1) Its moot, not mute. 2) How dare you say my vote should be invalid? I've said at least once or twice that Cashman's votes should be invalid because he fails, every single time, to give a justifiable reason for his voting. Needless to say, that wouldn't pass, and why? Because he's 11 and has "feelings"? As if I do not? As if I am worth less than him when at least I can give reasons for my opinions? RuneScape:All editors are equal, are they not?
 * I agree completely with Atlandy and Mura's reasons. And if you want my reasons, go read the archives for the last 3 or 4 nominations he's had. WikiStats don't lie. IE won't display the page at the moment, but when I checked earlier, Cashman had like 47 mainspace edits in the last 30 days. I don't even want to know how many of those are probably redirects. I was just a few away from 700, and Atlandy has well over 600 (so you don't think I feel I'm better or anything). I don't call 47 mainspace edits active, sorry. And clearly maturity is an issue, with those diffs that have been posted. He only opposed because he felt "lonely" or because he himself was not supported.
