6. You come across a user vandalizing some articles through POV-pushing, 3RR, etc (Not page blanking or the like), you go to block them and see they have the
ip-block-exempt flag. Does this impact your decision to block? What if they protest that they're a trusted user who shouldn't be blocked?
A.
7. How do you feel about the
Admin Coaching program? Would you be willing to coach interested users once you have some experience with the mop?
4. How would you close these RfA/Bs? Your only options are "Successful" and "Unsuccessful, as even if it goes to a crat chat, you must express an opinion there as the the final determination of the outcome.
(Note: The above RfA/RfB's are from real cases. While we have made every effort to remove the dates and names of pertinent parties to protect their privacy, it is entirely possible that we may have missed something.)
5. One of of the crats elected in 2004 has yet to use any of the crat tools and others have used them very rarely. Do you think the crat position should have a minimum level of activity? Would you trust a crat who hasn't looked at RFA in four years to close one?
A.
6. Not too long ago the first
Bot-RFC was
filed. How do you reconcile this process with the
WT:BRFA process? How would you as a crat interpret a Bot-RFC in deciding whether or not to involuntarily deflag a bot?
A.
7. Currently, no editor has ever passed RfB with a % less than 85%. At the same time, four of the six Arbcommers elected in
December 2007 had support %s below 80%. Do you see any potential role for crats, with their high level of community trust, in the
Dispute Resolution processes? Would you accept or feel it appropriate to ask the crats as a group to assist in DR?
A.
8. Of the 3,500+ prior RFAs, only eight have ever had a bureaucrat extend the endtime; of over 100 prior RFBs, only two have ever had a bureaucrat extend the endtime. Which of the below would you have extended and under what circumstances and by what process would you extend an RFA in general?
9.Francs2000,
Optim,
Eloquence,
Danny,
Ugen64, and
WJBscribe were decratted at their own requests between 2004 and 2008. Of them all, the only controversial decrattings could be considered Ugen64 who
resigned after a
dispute over the promotion % for RFBs and Francs2000 who
resigned after a
dispute over tallying RFA results. Danny's remains the unusual case of him resigning both crat and sysop rights and later being
re-RFA'd, all in connection with his ceasing employment at the Wikimedia Foundation. Which of these users would you re-crat if they asked at
WP:BN and which would you require to re-run RfB?
