Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ironholds 5It is a boring January 2, 2011. I know this is true because I am reading RFA's at Wikipedia... As I type, there is one oppose, but what a doozer! A certain "Colonel Warden" undertook some analysis of Ironholds' behavior and found it desperately wanting. The key conclusion being "Ironholds is impatient and intolerant of work which does not meet his own high standards. This makes him a good editor but a poor administrator." The "Chase Me ladies, I'm the cavalry" (CMLITC) joker -- who was one of IH's first supporters -- challenges this conclusion, but only makes it worse: CW suggests that even late behavior from IH remains consistent with his conclusion. Oops! My own view is that IH should be given the bit, as this will most certainly Hasten The Day. A few more comments: 1. A number of the support votes are from people that can only be called personal friends of the candidate, brief they may be. Dare one mention "COI"? Have these people no shame at all? 2. Similarly, but more seriously, we have the support of CMLITC. This yahoo voted while being a sitting member of ArbCom -- note that his tenure began 00:00 Jan 1, 2011. Now, one might be able to say of the masses of Wikipediots that they would naturally vote for their friends and against their enemies, regardless of the merits ... but surely, an ArbCom member knows better than to compromise his own position in this manner?

So, I take it you've never paid attention to who sits on Arb or how people here respond to them? Because I think it was rather clear that "ignorant moron" is how people at WR describe most of the people with power at Wikipedia. By the way, I like The Cavalry. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Still, I thought most ArbCommers who turn out to be morons were at least able to hide that fact until after their election. And he only got 60% of the vote (and wasn't even the least popular candidate to be elected). A couple of years ago there was controversy because Jayjg was appointed despite only getting 69% support.

Ironholds has indeed been up for RFA so many times, people have given up keeping track. RFA #2, in 2008. RFA #4, exactly a year ago. In 2007, he was called O keyes. (First name Oliver.) And went thru two failed RFAs. Wikipedians have short memories indeed. They don't remember this.Oh, btw: QUOTE + I'm Autistic, having Aspergers Syndrome, i have an IQ of 145, an Eidetic memory to do with sounds and am lucky enough to suffer from Bipolar disorder.

Courtesy my ass. QUOTE(Theanima @ Sun 2nd January 2011, 2:43pm) That would be 'Ironholds' and the 7th, not 6th, attempt. Has anyone else had any more RFAs, or is this a record?
Again the sixth. The first time is not "again" you see.

Only 145? How on earth does he manage? If you factor in all the dumbass kids and the professional nerds, you get an average wikipediot's IQ of about 145, plus the various psychiatric stuff. Ironholds seems around average, except for the seven RFAs.
