Happy new year! I am attempting to obtain the sysop
flag after my previous request was withdrawn as pretty immature (criticism about hat collecting). I have been committed to this wiki five months ago and have since tagged lots of pages for deletion, and reverting unconstructive edits. The delete
, block
, and more importantly rollback
rights will be very useful to delete pages, block vandals, and use rollback to revert edits instead of the slower TwinkleGlobal and manual undo functions.
I have also helped in the transition of Flow talk pages to wikitext ahead of the planned script run; suppressredirect
would have been helpful when moving pages instead of leaving redirects that eventually get deleted.
I should admit that I am not the best candidate, but I hope you will all agree with me. ToadetteEdit (talk) 10:06, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sigh, I said 6 months last time, and you were improving in the last few months. This isn't even three months. Please listen Toadette - we're trying to get you out of the hat-collecting pit and you're doing the opposite. Leaderboard (talk) 10:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I've cooled off a bit. I think waiting three more months is okay, but I still want to avoid the hat-collector term being used on me. I have a need for the tools, and I will wear them after obtaining them, rather than collecting hats for no reason. ToadetteEdit (talk) 12:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Then you need to wait. Time is a very powerful healer and equaliser in things like these. Leaderboard (talk) 09:04, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Why would I have to wait for such a short time; people will still vote against me even after years, because they do not want me to hold these rights, even though I will never abuse them, and already have experience. Anyways, I will be patient though and hopefully I will succeed. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @ToadetteEdit It's an exponential decrease function. While the hat-collecting anti-bias is not something I necessarily agree with, the advice I gave is because of my experience seeing other voters react to a hat-collector. Unfortunately, you've crossed the limit beyond which the average person would immediately discard your application citing "hat-collecting", irrespective of whether you are actually hat-collecting or not, and as you saw on Meta a week back, even well-established users can unexpectedly be caught in that pit. For that person I wouldn't recommend waiting for 6 months - a couple of months would be enough. Unfortunately you're worse there, and I recall that you failed an en.wiki rights application not long before filing this application. Hence the 6+ months recommendation
- What we don't want you to do is just rage-quit, but if you continue to file applications without taking a break, the most likely scenario is that you'll feel demotivated and give up. Leaderboard (talk) 03:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Well... I will wait for six months as you suggested. I am in fear though that there is a certain group of editors that will vote against me in every request regardless, but this approach will hopefully reduce the chances. I will delist the nomination and rethink of myself. I will of course increase my experience that will supersede the current situation, and hopefully I will pass soon. Good luck!

- Oppose it's been just over 2 1/2 months since the last failed RFA, where many concerns about hat collecting were brought up. in this situation, please consider leaderboard's advice and give this time. Ternera (talk) 14:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Formally marking this as Not done, while agreeing with the opposers. @ToadetteEdit: Another cause for concern is that you are reverting translation edits in languages I do not think you can read. While I can't read Arabic myself and thus can't ascertain the validity of your revert, that also means doing so is likely to revert legitimate translation edits. This is not what I want to see from an administrator on a multilingual wiki like this one.--Jasper Deng (talk) 11:19, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Jasper Deng, please note that my revert linked in your comment is valid, because "حسابك" means "your account" and not "حساب" which means "account". Furthermore, the ip edit was unconstructive. I will ofcourse pay attention when patrolling edits in unfamiliar languages. ToadetteEdit (talk) 19:56, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
