User talk:Giggy/Passing RfA for fun and profit!
Amazing
[edit]This page is amazing. It's so humorous... because it's so true! Great job on this. нмŵוτнτ 14:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Lol. Ah Giggy. I was thinking of writing something like this, but I was scared it'd be taken seriously, haha. By the way, I think that boring usernames have a better chance of passing RfA, what do you think? Things with letters and numbers... references to hobbies... not so good. Bland is the name of the game. <3 TOW! ~ Riana ⁂ 14:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Beautiful. :) DurovaCharge! 00:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Very nice. Funny because it's true. But why did Riana just sign <3 TOW? Hmmmm? Lara❤Love 21:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Enjoyed the page
[edit]By the way, this may not necessarily fit into this user's itinerary, but I have a suggestion:
User should nominate someone he (for convenience's sake, it's male) doesn't like for adminship by saying "I believe this editor should be considered for adminship". Before the candidate even has a chance to accept, post a list of 8 questions. Then wait 5 minutes, and write up an extensive and harsh Very Strong Oppose based on a number of things he could find to oppose, and citing "Candidate ignored my questions."

- You want him to oppose someone he nominated? Oooh...interesting! :) dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 06:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Where have I heard of this concept before? :D Enigma msg! 06:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

- Haha, I love it. This page is very entertaining. I read straight through it the first time because I couldn't stop. I think I'll have to read it again. Enigma msg! 06:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Now we know of a new trick. Not only a strong oppose, but also cross out the nom! :D Enigma message 16:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Another suggestion
[edit]This is for when the user actually runs for RfA.
Wait for someone to ask you whether you'll add yourself to WP:Administrators open to recall. If no one asks, either ask someone on IRC to post the question or make a loud announcement that you will definitely add yourself to it, because you believe Admins should be held accountable for their actions, blah blah blah. After you pass your RfA, pointedly don't add yourself to the category. If anyone calls you on it, angrily proclaim that you have the right to change your mind, AGF, etc. Enigma message 07:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Saying it's "cabal approved" is particularly ironic, given that some users think that most cabals need to be deleted. :P Enigma msg 05:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Lol, let's not go there ;) dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 05:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

About Me

- Your RfA was epic on so many levels that this guide fails to describe, though. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
HI
[edit]Very Interesting Thoughts. I really enjoying reading this. -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 09:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

- I'd have though the {{cabal}} and the lolcats would do it. The easiest way to test... after reading it, are you considering following the advice given? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 08:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely. After this RfA, I'm starting a new account called "Support Me" and then following all the prescribed steps. Enigma message 16:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Un ...
[edit]So you are writing an uncyclopedia in your user space? I love it: great work. It sounds easier than the honest method. The trouble is, having sold your soul, you get to step 9 with nothing to show for it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- I was actually tempted to follow these instructions! But meh, I would miss Wikipedia alot if I was eventually revoked of Admin status, and banned :-(. Great job, Blooded Edge Sign/Talk 14:33, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
