Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Johnuniq

This is an RfA talk page.

While voting and most discussion should occur on the main RfA page, sometimes discussions stray off-topic or otherwise clutter that page. The RfA talk page serves to unclutter the main RfA page by hosting discussions that are not related to the candidacy.

Please remain calm and civil in discussions on both pages, avoiding personal attacks and harassment. Uninvolved administrators can still fully intervene in RfAs.
Discussions should stay on-topic; consider moving or continuing discussions that are going off-topic elsewhere.
Move discussions not germane to the candidacy here, then link them with {{subst:rfan|dm|name of section header}}, indented to the original vote. Be conservative in using the template; obvious trolls and disruptive participants need not be noticed.
Otherwise, avoid starting discussions here if they would be of interest to RfA participants and can fit on the main RfA page; generally, discussions should begin at the "General comments" section or as an indented reply to a vote.

Moved from Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Johnuniq

Why aren't the usernames of editors seeking to become administrators not named in the user watchlist notice that alerts editors of requests that are open for discussion? Onetwothreeip (talk) 05:11, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I personally think it'd be slightly too intrusive to the individual user, but that's really more of a question for WT:RFA than here. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't mean their real names or anything, just their usernames, which are already public knowledge. Onetwothreeip (talk) 05:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Right, I'm just more saying there's thousands of editors using a watchlist a month, most of whom don't even care about RfA. Advertising someone's username to them will likely bring unwanted attention even if there's nothing private. Anyway, like I said, more of a topic for WT:RFA.

- I'd actually support such a thing, but agree that this isn't the right forum. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 06:17, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please hat or move this discussion above that has nothing to do with this RfA. --DBig Xrayᗙ 08:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks everyone who participated in the RfA. I am humbled to think that over 200 editors took time to consider the request and to comment. Johnuniq (talk) 05:45, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
