[edit] Benon questions

Optional questions from User:Dlohcierekim that he lifted form User:Benon who got them from Tawker, JoshuaZ, Rob Church, NSLE. They are 100% optional but may help myself or other voters decide. Some of these are not specifically related to your areas of interest. If I have already voted please feel free to ignore these questions though other editors might find them to be of use. You can also remove the questions you don't want to touch if you like.

4. You find out that an editor, who's well-known and liked in the community, has been using sockpuppets abusively. What would you do?
A-
5. An editor asks you to mediate in a dispute that has gone from being a content dispute to an edit war (but not necessarily a revert war), with hostile language in edit summaries (that are not personal attacks). One involved party welcomes the involvement of an admin, but the other seems to ignore you. They have both rejected WP:RFC as they do not think it would solve anything. Just as you are about to approach the user ignoring you, another admin blocks them both for edit warring and sends the case to WP:RFAR as a third party. Would you respect the other admin's decisions, or would you continue to engage in conversation (over email or IRC) and submit a comment/statement to the RFAR? Let's say the ArbCom rejects the case. What would you do then?
A-
6. If you could change any one thing about Wikipedia what would it be?
A-
7. Under what circumstances would you indefinitely block a user without any prior direction from Arb Com?
A-
8. Suppose you are closing an AfD where it would be keep if one counted certain votes that you suspect are sockpuppets/meatpuppets and would be delete otherwise. The RCU returns inconclusive, what do you do? Is your answer any different if the two possibilities are between no consensus and delete?
A-
9. Do you believe there is a minimum number of people who need to express their opinions in order to reasonably close an AfD? If so, what is that number? What about RfDs and CfDs?
A-
10. At times, administrators have experienced, or have been close to burnout due to a mixture of stress and conflict inherent in a collaborative web site of this nature. Do you feel able to justify yourself under pressure, and to not permit stress to become overwhelming and cause undesirable or confused behaviour?
A-
11. Why do you want to be an administrator?
A

:'''5.''' '''Additional question from [[User:dlohcierekim]]. (As always, all additional questions are completely optional)''' Hello, '''Chunky Rice'''. Thank you for submitting your RfA, I have this question and then a follow-up. You are RCPatrolling. You see an article has been edited by an anon. The page history indicates the previous entry was by a Bot reverting a page blank by the same anon. The current version of the article has a note at the top of the page from the anon saying "THE ARTICLE IS A COPY AND PASTE COPYVIO FORM ANOTHER SITE” What do you do? Thanks,~~~~

:'''5''' So far, so good. '''Follow up question from [[User:Dlohcierekim]].''' (As always, all additional questions are completely optional)'''As you are pondering the above, you notice the anon has been posted to AIV for page blanking and vandalizing the reporting users page. In running through the contribs you find the anon has again blanked the page. On the talk page you find a note again asserting that the decision to delete was the correct one. Anon goes on to express anger and perplexity over being reverted, “by a ROBOT!” and “BEING TREATED LIKE A VANDAL.” The vandalism consists of similar messages on the user page of the reporting user, rather than on the talk page. How do you respond? Thanks, ~~~~

  1. You are RCPatrolling. You see an article has been edited by an anon. The page history indicates the previous entry was by TawkerBot reverting a page blank by the same anon. At the top of the page, you see that the anon has added a note about how the article should be deleted as a “complete cut and paste job from another site.” Before the message sinks in, you click the button to back rollback edit and add a Blank2 warning to the anon’s talk page. The bar at the top indicates no prior warnings. On the anon’s talk page is a response to Tawkerbot‘s warning . The anon again assertis that the decision to delete was the correct one. Anon goes on to express anger and perplexity over being reverted, “by a ROBOT!” The note closes with the statement, “IF THIS IS WHAT WIKIPEDIA IS ABOUT, I’M OUTTA HERE.!”
