  1. Support NOT just because username sounds like Prozac. --Cool Cat My Talk 20:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  2. Support. Andre (talk) 21:19, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  3. However, I suggest you remember the difference between IRC and the mailing list... :-) [[smoddy]] 21:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  4. Support Um, YES! Ryan Norton T | @ | C 21:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  5. Support. She's the kind of admin I wish I had been when I was her age (oh, wait, they didn't even have the web then, and wikis were only invented in ...). Anyway, I hope this endorsement doesn't attract a lot of oppose votes (oh, no, she hangs out with who?). Uncle Ed 21:51, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
    I think you mean, "she hangs out with whom?" <Lord Voldemort pushes his spectacles up> --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 18:55, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  6. Support She's not one already?! — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 22:25, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  7. Support another one in a long line of candidates I thought were admins already... :) - ulayiti (talk) 22:36, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  8. Support. I have known Phroziac in person for some time now via IRC, and also via her contributions on the wiki. She is a conscientious, pleasant, intelligent editor who has made a high level of contribution to the wiki in a comparatively short period of time. I am sure that Phroziac shall make excellent use of admin tools... and... I'm amazed she isn't one already :-) --NicholasTurnbull 23:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
  9. Support. For being an excellent Wikipedian and having a username that sounds like Prozac. Nufy8 00:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  10. Support - Phroziac knows what she's doing, she knows how to do it and when, and she's got a lot of wiki-experience already. We need admins with the right balance of everything. Rob Church Talk | Desk 00:24, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  11. Support. All-round good girl.  Denelson83  00:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  12. Support— rolled back some of his contributions. Has been a consistent contributor. Also, her focus is on the 'dirty work' instead of simple editing. With the promotion, she could be better able to carryout her task.

    Journalist C./ Holla @ me!

  13. support DUDE! I was gonna do this next month! *shakes fist at Coolcat!* Aw well, great girl, blah blah, vote for her =) Sasquatch讲看 01:06, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  14. Support - seems solid enough. Evercat 02:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  15. Support, thought she was already an admin. Jaxl | talk 02:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  16. Supportize. Subjected the subject to one of my not-quite-infamous-yet grillings on wikipedia policy. She passes :-) Kim Bruning 03:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  17. Support. A mature user who deserves the janitor's mop. ral315 03:39, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  18. Strong Support So, it's finally happened. :) Congrats. I just want to note that in addition to his contributions on Wikipedia, Phroziac also founded her own wiki. She has already had a taste of sysop rights over there. Acetic Acid (talk) 03:43, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

  21. Support [Pere] I think she is completely deserving to be a wiki admin, i could not think of a more suitable website to be given the opportunity to work with such a all american talent.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.7.131 (talk • contribs) 10:51, August 31, 2005
    • While I'm sure Phroziac appreciates your vote of confidence, I'm afraid anons cannot vote in RFAs. Perhaps you will consider creating an account? Acetic'Acid 15:00, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

  54. Support even though I don't know this user, voting Oppose at this point would be useless. — JIP | Talk 16:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  55. Support. Meets my guidelines. Willingness to not only edit Wikipedia on dialup, but also to revert vandalism on dialup, shows dedication. :-) android79 17:37, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
    I've been stuck on dialup for quite a while, is dialup really that bad? ;) --Phroziac (talk) 19:09, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

Oppose. I'd rather you had more edits. Try again at 1,500. (Yes, I realize I have 700) --WikiFan04 19:17, 30 Aug 2005 (CDT) Support. --WikiFan04
But you felt that you were worthy of becoming an admin! -- JamesTeterenko 19:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I withdrew! --WikiFan04
  1. Oppose. Sorry, and no offense, as I'm sure you're a great editor, but I feel it is important for admins to have experience adding content, and have experience in the ups and downs that come with that, in order to be able to do much of the job effectively. It looks like you'll get enough support though, so you won't miss mine :). Adding an answer that I'm sure you knew wasn't what I was looking for, but you were honest anyway, does raise your stock in my book, so I'd be happy to support in the future given some consistent content addition. - Taxman Talk 19:06, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
    Ok, but I doubt my edit habits will change much. By the way, part of the problem is that most of the stuff I know about, is stuff that wikipedia has nice articles on. :) I found some HVAC articles that could use some work however. Oh, and if you see a stub you think i might be interested in, feel free to leave a link on my talk page. :o --Phroziac (talk) 22:04, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
    Yeah, for many topics Wikipedia is well beyond what most of us can add from our own knowledge. Anyway that probably never was a good practice as good research and citing authoritative sources is much more valuable. No one really cares that I know how a swaption works, but citing a prominent textbook for it is valuable. Anyway, like I said, you'll be fine. - Taxman Talk 17:15, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

  1. Not enough edits. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-09-3 04:02
    How many would you like to see by the way? Phroziac (talk) 04:44, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  2. The fact that you have only really have been here for three months since 3 June (I do not really count the edits you made to the sandbox on 2 June) combined with your relatively low edit count makes me abstain for now. It is just I do not feel comfortable judging what in my opinion is a low sample of someone's experience here. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
    You mean i've been here since 2 June, and made sandbox edits on 1 June? I hope you mean low edit counts in general, not for three months -- I'm on Wikipedia all the time! --Phroziac (talk) 23:53, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
    Let me clarify: Actually it's a combination of both of those factors, the edit count and the time period, that makes me abstain for now. The dates I have given above are for your first dozen or so edits that you made under your account. Just because "you are on here all the time" doesn't give me enough information to judge you one way or another. It is one thing to read and study Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, but it is a different experience actually applying them in practice towards different situations, especially ones that "don't go by the book" or ones that involve "problem users" and vandals. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:22, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
    Ok, no problem. --Phroziac (talk) 03:56, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Comments

  • 1070 edits. Andre (talk) 21:19, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • What does [[smoddy]]'s comment mean? I personally view both the mailing list and IRC as deeply inferior to posting a message somewhere on the Wiki. -Splash 21:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
    • User:smoddy talks rather encrypted and hence rarely make sense :P. I guess its something they know between each other... Yes I am fascinated with the obvious. --Cool Cat My Talk 22:02, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Heh. Well, a while back smoddy commented that I did not have to reply to every post on the list. I reply there a lot. ;) By the way, I don't think they are inferior, but they have much different purposes. IRC gets fast responses, and is mostly not about wikipedia, and the mailing list has a bigger audience then most talk pages. --Phroziac (talk) 23:23, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
      • So does that mean you'd prefer to sound out the mailing list to sounding out a page on the wiki somewhere? -Splash 23:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
        • Hmm, no, not exactly. I actually don't start new threads on the mailing list that often, I usually just reply there. If it's about wikipedia in general, I'd post it on the list, and if it's about a page or a dozen, i'd post it on relevant talk pages somewhere. --Phroziac (talk) 00:03, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
          • /me has only just seen this conversation. /me thinks that IRC is a place to make silly, off-topic comments, and use commands like /me. [[smoddy]] 16:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
            • /me agrees, but notes that sometimes /someone says "oh, but I asked on IRC(or mailing list) and /someoneelse said deleting VfD was ok", and things like that. Phroziac didn't and I'm sure wouldn't, but I wanted to make sure. -Splash 16:29, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
              • /me laughs. heh. /me is hungry. /me would definitely ask anything quite like that on the wiki, by the way. --Phroziac (talk) 18:07, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • 1070 is really light. The count doesn't matter so much to me, but it does indicate a lack of the type of experience I'd like to see. Can you point to at least some examples of your best contribution of material to articles? - Taxman Talk 23:21, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
    • Light? Hmm, I guess you could say that. I bet it'll be atleast 1150ish before this RFA closes. Anyway, I don't do that much in the way of big edits, I usually do smaller janitorial tasks, like copyediting, RC patrol, new page patrol (mmm copyvios...). I can't think of any examples at the moment, but I did fix 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane this morning, it said that they started using 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane in 1995, but they actually started sometime in the early 90s, and in 1995 Dichloridofluoromethane was banned.[1] I also know I saw some large unwikified lumps on new page patrol, and wikified those, but I can't find them in my contribs right now :) --Phroziac (talk) 01:13, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
      • Hmm, i did it. I have 1158 now, and I wasn't even trying. I'm such a wikiholic :/ --Phroziac (talk) 23:08, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
        • The fact that you didn't note that at your 1150th edit spells a little hope for you, but the fact that you did remember to check and did so indicates the dreaded editcoutitis is upon you. Run. But seriously I hope you don't take offense to my vote as I am just voting how I feel. - Taxman Talk 18:37, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
        • Heh, your vote's no problem. Editcountitis? I'm just a trivia freak. :) --Phroziac (talk) 20:54, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • No favorite contributions? Really? --Alan Au 22:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I actually have been thinking about it, and I can think of a few I especially like. I like the picture I put on 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, but it's actually on Commons, so does that count here? I also am pretty happy about finding that misinformation on the previously mentioned article, which I mentioned elsewhere on this rfa. I'm working on finding the exact date of the first tetrafluoroethane AC systems in cars though, if it's possible. And most of these edits get deleted, but I'm really happy about my copyvio tagging. It takes as much effort to do that as to write a really good stub sometimes. I couldn't do this as well without Coolcat's IRC bot by the way. Oh, and Scat Tracker is still a stub last time I looked, but I intend to contribute even more to that. I like that edit, and it's actually something i know a lot about. I remember those hours I spent getting a broken torque converter off my scat tracker! I had to cut the jackshaft off. I'm sure I could probably think of others. Oh, and I've done several audio pronunciations for Wiktionary, which are on commons. I have an american inland north accent, which nobody else who does these on en.wikt: has. :) None of them would really go into Wikipedia well, but I was thinking it might be neat to find a use for my nice voice and audio recording/editing skills on wikipedia also. I couldn't do spoken articles unfortunately, I tend to screw up when I get talking. Also, my voice is deeper then "the big voice guy" on a recent contest on a local radio station. --Phroziac (talk) 00:37, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • See my comments on Splash's nomination. Excellent candidate, still too early. Good luck if he gets it. --Tony SidawayTalk 11:55, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. I've already been doing RC patrol for a while, the rollback button would be nice for that. Unfortunately I have dialup, and most of the time I try to revert, it gets reverted before my edit goes through! ugh! Delete would be nice too. And, block to get rid of those pesky vandals and other issues. I would excersize extreme caution with the latter two, however.
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. Not really, most of my contributions have been copyedits, RC patrol, and other somewhat minor edits, and i'm very pleased with all of them. :)
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. I haven't really had conflicts in editing, and I follow 1rr. -Ril-'s recent actions have caused me some stress, as have several vandals, such as Willy on Wheels, and that penis vandal (the one that puts pictures of penises everywhere, not the one that redirects my user page to penis...). Oh, and that whole 6th vfd of GNAA thing! None of it has really been major enough to do more then walk away for a while. Sometimes I have had to contact admins to deal with vandals, and sometimes I ask friends for opinions on things. In the future, I would pretty much do the same thing, except I have to assume the vandals will dislike me even more.
