Worm That Turned

I attempted to fix RfA in 2011. After reading through over 300 RfAs and doing a lot of other research into the different areas, I came to the conclusion that it was not broken. It's letting good candidates in and keeping bad candidates out. What needs work is its perception, so if there's a good PR firm out there who want to improve how RfA looks to the casual editor for free, please do contact me. Other things I managed to do on the subject of RfAs.

• Start Request an RfA Nomination. I've since vetted many candidates, and have nominated 14 (9 successfully).
  • Swarm - (105/1/0) - Successful Y
  • Slon02 - (84/13/4) - Successful Y
  • Ryan Vesey - (117/48/11) - Unsuccessful
  • Yunshui - (97/0/0) - Successful Y
  • Mr. Stradivarius - (125/0/0) - Successful Y
  • Σ - (140/65/18) - Unsuccessful
  • QuiteUnusual - (85/37/6) - Unsuccessful
  • KTC - (130/21/0) - Successful Y
  • Shirt58 - (105/7/4) - Successful Y
  • Liz - (200/72/9) - Successful Y
  • Thine Antique Pen - (118/58/11) - Unsuccessful
  • 78.26 - (154/1/0) - Successful Y
  • Ammarpad - (64/40/9) - Unsuccessful
  • Nosebagbear - (173/38/8) - Successful Y
  • SilkTork (for bureaucrat) - (168/8/2) Y
• Updated the group notice for creation of RfA pages, to reduce WP:NOTNOW and WP:SNOW candidates.
• Working at the other end of the process - launching a proof of concept for community desysopping. Co-launching a proposal for change.

This recall process has three stages, discussion, petition and resignation. I will not consider multiple recall requests regarding the same incident.

Any issue must be discussed with me either on my talk page or by email prior to petition. If you are unsatisfied with the result of the discussion, proceed to the next stage. A discussion should include at least one comment from me or a 24-hour period where I have not responded.

Any editor may request recall by starting a numbered petition on my talk page. Editors may request recall for any reason, but are expected to do so civilly and in good faith. To trigger a resignation, a recall petition must be signed by at least 10 editors each having over 500 edits and over one month of tenure.

I also allow for a counter-petition that I should not resign. A simple majority is required between the petition and counter-petition, to confirm the resignation.

To allow time for cooling off and to facilitate discussion and compromise, petitions should remain open for seven days. Petitioners may strike out their signatures at any time. If at the end of the petition period the required threshold is met, then I will resign; otherwise, the recall fails. I reserve the right to re-run at RfA at any time.

Executive Director's Barnstar

Hi Worm That Turned! I am hereby awarding you the Executive Director's Barnstar, to celebrate your many contributions to the English Wikipedia! You were recommended for the award by Maryana Pinchuk, who nominated you for being a "marvelous mentor" on the English Wikipedia. Maryana says that you've been an active adopter of new users in the Adopt-a-user program, you've been helpful at the Teahouse, and that you also work to sort through problems with people who've landed at AN/I or have otherwise gotten into conflicts in the community. She describes you as patient and kind and says you've spent countless hours composing lesson plans for Wikipedians-in-training (complete with barnstars for completing sections), including rewriting a lot of our garbled policy pages from scratch so that they're actually useable (for example, this page on copyright. I think Maryana first met you in person at a London meetup: she says you're just as lovely in person as you are on the wikis :-) The Executive Director's Barnstar is an award that I give out every now and then, created for me by my colleague Frank Schulenberg to celebrate and honour editors who are making a particularly significant contribution to the projects. In addition to the work that Maryana describes above, since joining the projects in 2007, you've made more than 13,661 edits on 11 projects, according to the user contributions page on the toolserver. Thank you so much for your contributions! If you, or anyone reading this, wants to nominate an editor for the ED Barnstar, please feel free to do it on my talk page. And thanks to Maryana at the Wikimedia Foundation, for making this nomination. Sue Gardner (talk) 20:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations on this one Worm! Ryan Vesey 20:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I also think this is incredibly well deserved :) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

If anyone deserves a barnstar from up high; it's WTT. Well done! Barts1a / Talk to me / Help me improve 00:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Wow. I'm stunned, and much as I'd like to contradict the comments of my staplers... all I should really say is Thank you. Worm^TT(talk) 07:41, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Well deserved!--RexRowan^忍(Ninja signal) 08:10, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Same, couldn't have been awarded to anyone better ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 08:13, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Just piling in here with the congratulations - it's good to see such a wise and helpful Wikipedian getting recognition for this work! PamD 11:44, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

• Congratulations Worm! :) Thine Antique Pen (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Yay, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm a little late to the party, but I agree that WTT is definitely deserving. If the community created an RfC to determine the best overall Wikipedian around, WTT would probably get my vote. AutomaticStrikeout 04:27, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

• Cool! Congrats Worm. Oh, also good work polishing AAU and well done putting forth Σ at RfA. Swarm ^X 04:40, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Again, thank you so much, coming back from a minor break and finding this still on my talk page, especially with all the other kind comments is very heartening. I really do appreciate it. Worm^TT(talk) 08:15, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

These awards really meant something

Have I told you how impressed I am by your mentorship activities? I'm not sure I have, but if I did, it is worth repeating. It may be ironic that I'm posting just as you have failed, but that's part of the point. Not all will be successful, and I think your recent attempt was very unlikely to succeed, and if it had succeeded, it would have required 100% of your energies for a long time. Some aren't suited for Wikipedia. I hope this recent instance doesn't diminish your enthusiasm for the mentor program. SPhilbrickT 14:35, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Worm^TT,

You may have already gathered that I'm not really into barnstars and Wikipedia's praise economy. However, when I am particularly struck by the decency and humanity of an editor's actions in the face of stressful conflict, I feel compelled to disregard my aversion. On such occasions, I turn to the Sword of Good Faith, which I believe has an honorable history in representing the rare ability to rise above the fray, and appreciate that at the other end of the optical cables, there is another human being. Throughout the KW RfC, you have behaved with great personal integrity. I was saddened to receive the email that you posted here, but impressed that the very next day you turned to reconciliation. Such fortitude in staying true to the purpose of Wikipedia in the face of adversity is precisely what the Sword of Good Faith recognises and it is a pleasure for me to express that recognition here. Geometry guy 00:09, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy
	I have been silently watching WP:CVUA for a while now and wanted to recognize the excellent advisory work that you have done there, especially in the context of reformatting user roles. That is a project that currently suffers from a lack of credibility. I think you have gone a long way to put them on the right track toward establishing that credibility. Trusilver 20:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

		Four Award
		Congratulations! You have been awarded the Four Award for your work from beginning to end on Doom Bar. TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:08, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

		The Invisible Barnstar
		Good work on the self-contradictory articles! Rich Farmbrough, 20:17, 9 October 2010 (UTC).

		The Bacon Barnstar
		Great job with the bacon dishes article. Your the first person to get a bacon dish to GA(most bacon GA articles are cookbooks) and you deserve this Spongie555 (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

		The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
		I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.) Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. Sven Manguard Wha? Adam Cuerden (talk) (X! · talk)

Not really a barnstar, but I thought the treble clef was nice to look at, and I'm never going to get one any other way.

		The Adopt-a-user Barnstar
		By the way, I decided to award you this Barnstar as a show of my appreciation for your help with my Wikipedia career, teaching me to be a better and more fulfilled editor. Your adopt-a-user programme (as far as I've looked ahead) is informative and engaging, and a valuable asset for both your adoptees and by extension Wikipedia as a whole.

		The Adopt-a-user Barnstar
		"The Adopt-a-User Barnstar may be awarded to Wikipedians who go above and beyond as adopters or in improving the Adopt-a-User program" I honestly did not think too much of it at the start - did not really think it would help me too much either. I was very wrong. Dave, I'd like to thank you for finally adopting me, yes, it's taken a whole year and a month but I feel like I have finally achieved something, and that's being adopted by an experienced editor, and learning so much about the policies and guidlines of Wikipedia! I cannot say how much sorry I am that it took this long...I'm a slow learner, as you may have noticed, and procrastination does not help at all. I believe I am (maybe?) your youngest adoptee to have passed and graduated, which is an honor (and just think, if you've adopted me, you can adopt anyone! ) -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 13:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Integrity
		"The Barnstar of Integrity may be awarded to those editors who have shown to be a person of integrity and honor. Or, more simply, a stand-up guy/gal" Something that I should have given you ages ago, but now is just fine. You Dave, are a model editor - an editor that everyone should look up to, even take a page from you. You have an impeccable, admirable and impressive integrity and honor. -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 13:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		"This barnstar, the first on Wikipedia, is given to recognize particularly fine contributions to Wikipedia, to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated." I hope this barnstar hasn't been overused for you, but, I'd like to just remind you, that yes, your hard work is seen and is always appreciated. -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 13:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

	I seem to be in the minority, but I still have faith in the ArbCom, and that is in no small part due to you being on it. Thank you for what you have submitted yourself to, and I hope, for the sake of you and for the sake of the encyclopedia as a whole, that things calm down and everyone can get back to building content. Thank you for your work. A grateful Go Phightins! 19:30, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Good as gold!

Even before you were an arb, you had gained a place on the list of my most respected editors. Not only have you served Wikipedia well in two of our most contentious positions (adminship and arbship), but you have managed to do quite a bit of quality content work as well, as noted above. Furthermore, your prolific adopt–a–user program should not be overlooked and neither should your efforts with regards to RfA. For all you do, I am pleased to present you with the Golden Editor Award!

Life is a bitch, and then you die. If you can get a couple nice days in there then that's brilliant. Maybe looking at this pug will cheer you up on this nice sunny thursday? ツ Jenova20 (email) 10:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
