Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Hey man im josh#Replies to Sportsfan (hatted)

This good-natured joke has become a sprawling mess. I recommend hatting as it does not contribute anything to determining concensus. Ca ^{talk to me!} 15:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Indicate the number of people who are currently serving as Administrators each time a Request is announced. Details about active/inactive are not necessary. The total number seems to be proliferating lately. The handful of Oppose emphasizing "experience" have a good point -- it seems like a lot of Requests are being made by relative newbies. Is there really a shortage of Admins? Martindo (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

:There are currently 882 Wikipedia administrators on the English Wikipedia. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 06:06, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

::{{u|Martindo}}, this is a discussion to suggest/start at WT:RFA, not here (as almost no one will see or notice it after the RFA ends). Primefac (talk) 06:24, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

{{hat|Bringingthewood's apologised at relevant pages; hatting this so other readers don't need the feel to add to this. Lourdes 06:38, 25 September 2023 (UTC)}}

1. :Could you elaborate further? I have a hard time believing a side with 99% of people being the clearly wrong one. ✶Mitch199811✶ 02:07, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
2. ::Don't worry, Mitch, I don't see a real Sportsfan meaning that. At least I hope not. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
3. :::Do these opposes count? When I click on these {{Personal attack removed|fools, I mean}} editors, I get this: A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted. If it's me, I apologize. But this seems to be an important thing. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:34, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
4. ::::{{yo|Bringingthewood}} They're experienced editors that used CSD U1 after deciding they didn't want user pages. Willbb234 has 15k edits and Sportsfan 1234 has 82k, and they've both been around for years. – dudhhr ^talk_contribs^she_her 16:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
5. :::::Sorry, didn't see that Renerpho's message was replying to you because it was less indented than your own. – dudhhr ^talk_contribs^she_her 16:11, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
6. ::::::Yeah, sorry about that. It looks like I replied to Bringingthewood's previous comment. Renerpho (talk) 01:04, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
7. :::Oppose votes count even if 99% of people vote "yes". Why wouldn't they?
8. :::{{re|Bringingthewood}} Regarding your question about the red-links: Every user can ask for pages in their own user space (including their user page) to be deleted. This has no influence on whether they can vote in discussions. I am trying to understand why you consider the question important. If you are suggesting that {{u|Willbb234}} and {{u|Sportsfan 1234}} are the same person because both have asked twice for their user pages to be deleted, this is not the place to do that. And to be clear, I don't see much that would suggest that this was the case.
9. :::Regarding the wording of your question: Please don't call other editors "fools", even if you disagree with their opinions. Renerpho (talk) 03:32, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
10. :::: I see where this is going. Not biting. Sorry non-fools. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:38, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
11. :::::Ok, non-redneck. — kashmīrī ^TALK 07:58, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah, I like it. Glad you agree. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:23, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

::::::::Just a note. I'm going to stay away.... for now, Josh is a friend and I won't cheapen that. The clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right, (you like that?), just send a message to my talk page. Remember, someone is trying to become an administrator.
