Seddon

clerk

Another clerk? Oh, man. This is getting a bit much. Without wishing to impugn the motives of these two admins here, the feeling I get in general is that since clerking has proved a good way of getting onto the AC in the past, people are just using it now as an open political platform. It's good at showing you can handle responsibility, no? But at the same time, it's just doesn't, because there's a massive difference in the skills needed from shifting pages around and keeping order to actually making rulings.

I see no problems with Seddon running, the voters will decide whether to vote for him based on his overall work on wikipedia not just clerking. Loosmark (talk) 23:12, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Please check your wording, Loosmark. You might disagree with Moreschi, but there's no need to dub his comments a "silly rant". Rebutting the argument itself is typically more effective, in any case. Respectfully, AGK 23:41, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, Loosmark, you might care to strike through the extreme bit in accordance with civility policy. Please see my comment about clerk candidates under KnightLago above. Tony (talk) 11:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok I have removed the first sentence. I hope now it's ok. Loosmark (talk) 12:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Past interview with WP:Wikivoices

• In my opinion, listening to a real voice recording of what candidates say is really nice, but only 4 candidates so far presented their interviews via Skype. However, I'm just adding this files as a reference since the issue discussed in the interview is somewhat related to questions to the candidate although it happened one and 8 months ago. See Wikipedia:Wikivoices/Episode_13 for further information.

I havn't listened to the second one yet but in the first one I am less than thrilled with my description of meta "where all the code is" and think I am talking pretty appallingly about everything. I do hope I have come on somewhat significantly from there. Hopefully ill be doing an interview with privatemusings next week should time permit so you guys should get a more realistic representation of me as I am now.
