Ten Pound Hammer's cat[edit]

Final (26/14/0); ended 21:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC) - Obvious joke nomination. Rcsprinter (warn) 21:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination[edit]

Ten Pound Hammer's cat (talk · contribs) – Well, I'm clearly unfit to be an admin, so I decided that my siamese cat, Luna, would be a better nominee. She's seen me edit Wikipedia every day and knows the place inside and out. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:18, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  13. Scritch --joe deckertalk to me 02:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Support; cats are better suited to adminship than dogs because we can verify cats; on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 02:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Mrrrrrrrrph Frrrrp! Mrrrrrrrr-wow? Prrrrrfik Pesky (talk) 02:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  16. What could possibly go wrong? I see the candidate has made no controversial edits, not gotten into any disruptive interactions, no appearances at ANI. Nominated by a trusted community member. No canvasing, and none of the articles submitted by this editor for FA has been rejected. Has not canvassed on IRC, or on-wiki. Seems to be the exact opposite of a drama-magnet. Compare and contrast to other candidates floating around RfA right now; definitely deserves our support more than they. Josh Parris 02:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Fffffffff! Purrrfect. Like Pesky said. -- ►►—Ninja Diannaa—► (Talk)

  20. Oh Paws I normally expect admins to have a little more active experience here, and I'm not sure this is the correct language project for you. But you have a cleanblocklog and come highly recommended. ϢereSpielChequers 07:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  21. Suppawt Even though none of the pictures are of the candidate, I find the answers compelling, and would add arrrrroooowwwwwwaayow and wwwooooooowwwwwrrrrraaaaahh! Peridon (talk) 09:55, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    In case no one saw it yet, here is what Luna looks like in real life. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose[edit]
  1. Oppose I'm appalled at the supports above. This oppose is purely because of the appalling supports above. Wifione Message 26:22, 1 April 1011 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose - stealing the joke from last year. GoogleBot's coming to freeze the cat per WP:CIR.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose should run for Bureaucat instead. Snowolf How can I help? 01:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Moral oppose Dogs are better suited to be admins than cats. --Rschen7754 01:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I know everyone's entitled to their own opinions and all, but yours is so totally wrong. OohBunnies! Leave a message :) 02:33, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Cats have a more flexible approach than dogs
    Totally! Dogs just support their friends, but cats are independent thinkers! Pesky (talk) 02:56, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Response to dog
  1. Oppose. I asked my dog what he thought of this RFA and he lifted his leg on the couch. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Mandatory heckling of opposers: giv cat mop NAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWW! Pesky (talk) 02:54, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose. I am sure the cat would make an above-average admin, but I would fear for its safety. Otters are, after all, noted both as carnivorous and envious. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Does the fact that she's gotten several articles to GA not matter? I mean, look at how much work she did on Nyan Cat alone. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:03, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose per Snowolf. Would do much better as a Bureaucat.--v/r - TP 02:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • All of you are clearly dog lovers. But what else would you expect from someone named Snowolf? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I actually don't like dogs very much, I very much prefer wolves or cats :) Snowolf How can I help? 03:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    If this RfA passes i don't give much of a chance on the Caninae article. However the Felinae article will probably enter FA status within a week (force-nominated, of course) benzband (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Yasht101 :) 02:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  13. No no no no, TPH's cat is clearly evil. Just look at the eyes. [natit citsejam] [klat] dE 17:43, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Oppose per those red eyes and my menagerie. WikiPuppies! (bark) 19:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Achieving results[edit]

  • Half-time - As of 19:55, 1 April 2012 (UTC) this RfA bears 26 Supports and 14 Opposes (note the opposes mainly have biased views and/or are sockpuppets of User:Dog). Thus, per consensus and common sense the Supports have the upper hand. Graciously compiled by benzband (talk).
