Wikiquote:Admin accountability poll
No consensus on this policy, or even not suitable for a draft for policy. Only some messy request for poll, but no consensus concluded. — -‎ Lemonaka‎ 15:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 *  Delete nominator's vote. The author of this article also locked and no further discussion about that. -‎ Lemonaka‎ 15:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I would like to start a discussion - I hope this is the proper location on this page?
 * Only contributors who have never written a wiki-policy would try to delete this enwq-essay that took the essay creator hours and hours of unpaid work (I am speculating). Not only that, but other unpaid contributors have also spent/wasted? time, effort and thought to try and get this potential tool to a stage where it could be useful for the community. As one of those unpaid contributors I spent time trying to adapt this page to be a tool for providing feedback to admins from the community of content contributors.
 * If this page ends up in the dustbin, it will send a very strong message to those who are trying to build this wiki: contributions here are not welcome, and admins do not understand the importance of working with the community and not against it.

 * @Ottawahitech Let me refute you point by point.
 * hours and hours of unpaid work
 * Please read top on that page. "Note: I did NOT create this my self, this is mainly copied from Wikipedia:Admin accountability poll"
 * but other unpaid contributors have also spent/wasted?
 * The page is in a mess, we need to at least clean up it. Or, let's be a little harsh if you want, is there any further discussion about that, on and off that page?
 * it could be useful for the community.
 * It is, at least currently, useless and hard to use.
 * As one of those unpaid contributors I spent time trying to adapt this page to be a tool for providing feedback to admins from the community of content contributors.
 * Did you get enough feedback for that? Or, what are you going to improve in addition to discussion about my work on that page?
 * it will send a very strong message to those who are trying to build this wiki: contributions here are not welcome
 * A fruitful case for w:Straw_man, this is not a mainspace page, or even it is not a suitable page for wikiquote space, why it will discourage contributions here?
 * and admins do not understand the importance of working with the community
 * Yep, finally I got a comment like this. Though sadly, I still want to say, I'm here to serve, instead of destroy the community.
 * BTW, there's not a template for keep. So you may change –  to   -‎ Lemonaka‎  16:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete or userfy to a page in the userspace of Ottawahitech or its originator. If there are specific concerns about a specific administrator, they should be aired in a public, widely accessible space. Administrators are volunteers who do useful tasks to keep the project going, and they are already accountable to the community. No need for a page that encourages harrassing and belittling admins for supposed imperfections. HouseOfChange (talk) 16:19, 13 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete This was just the same type of Wiki-colonialism for smaller projects that we see every few months. Somebody shows up, often who's been booted off a larger project, and tries to mansplain how things ought to work.  G M G  talk
