DragonFire1024

I was here then I wasn't...Now i am and I just want to see if I am still trusted as an Admin. Sometimes, I feel as though I am not. So I am doing this to confirm or deny my suspicians. DragonFire1024 09:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This may seem radical and against popular opinion however I have seen Jason behave in a manner that I consider unbefitting of an admin (a member of the community who has been voted into a position of power and trust by the community members) over various topics, at one point declaring on IRC that "If [Wikinews] wants a rebellion, then you got one", or words to such an effect. This is completely unacceptable, in my opinion. I have witheld filing an RfDA purely because I do not have the time to source and cite the behaviour I have seen.
Jason appears to not understand policies before becoming enraged over them (re: Image Licensing), and does not appear, to me, to have the best interests of the community as a whole at heart, rather wishing to push Wikinews in the direction he feels it needs to go. (reading: Wikinews talk:Image use policy/New Wikimedia resolution for image licensing) This is not the job of a sysop, and I do not feel that Jason understands what is expected of him as an administrator of the community - calm, rational behaviour that is in the interests of the community, not the individual.

Comment: I voice what I see will do great harm and damage to Wikinews. I never threatened revenge myself, I simply stated that other users might seek to do that. Also IRC statemnts are not supposed to be used as bait or whatnot in Wikis. There is a rule somewhere. I think fighting for something that will damage Wikinews greatly, is most definitely in "the best interest of Wikinews." Anyone who fights in a cause that could damage a project is IMO "acting in the best interest for wikinews", or whatever project they are on. DragonFire1024 05:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such rule. IRC may not be publically logged, however small, relevant quotes may be used in events such as this. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 06:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

whats the idea behind banning logging anyways? I've never really understood why. All that is ever really written about it is that it is punishable by crushing by an elephant. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have always understood it to be so that third parties (i.e. Daniel Brandt) cannot use the logs to their "advantage" - even though he has started taking his own logs of it. I'm not 100% sure myself. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 06:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whose he? DragonFire1024 06:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Main guy in wikipedia watch. He used to try to track down where varouis wikipedia admins live, and post that on the internet. His wikipedia article has more info. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why'd he do that? DragonFire1024 06:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, I think he got mad at the wikipedia admins because they wouldn't let him edit his article or something. Perhaps he is just crazy. (I've read his site, I think that is a fair suggestion. for ref[1]) Bawolff ☺☻ 06:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chiacomo can add detail IRC log use for Wikinews. -Edbrown05 06:49, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Private logging is allowed, but he or his bots havn't been there for a long time. Bawolff ☺☻ 06:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Lots of admin tasks get performed by this user, and done well. Admins do and plz do sometimes express opinions, and maybe those expressed don't work out for them. Oh well, + he's a prodigious reporter. -Edbrown05 04:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
