====Nomination====
{{user|theleekycauldron}}&nbsp;– ''(First, don't confuse theleekycauldron with the other user {{noping|Leaky caldron}}!)''

Talented, kindhearted, dedicated, caring, and conscientious, theleekycauldron embodies the traits of our finest administrators.

In theleekycauldron's three years as an active editor, her contributions have spanned a rare combination of prolific content writing, backend and maintenance, and technical contributions. Theleekycauldron has written [[User:Theleekycauldron#Featured content|four FAs/FLs]], [[User:Theleekycauldron#Good articles|12 GAs]], and [[User:Theleekycauldron/fun/hooks|65 DYKs]]. Her dedication at DYK is quite something to behold: in addition to promoting over 2,600 hooks to DYK's prep sets (making her [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYK promotions|DYK's most prolific active promoter]]), theleekycauldron has contributed to making DYK more accessible including by starting a [[User:Theleekycauldron/Projects/Did you know/Guidelines|draft reorganization of DYK's lengthy guidelines]]. Finally, she also contributes her technical skills as the author of the "[[User:Theleekycauldron/DYK promoter|PSHAW]]" script and the maintainer of [[User:GalliumBot|GalliumBot]]. I don't personally like the term "need for the tools", but I think it's fair to say that theleekycauldron has a lot to contribute as a sysop in all of these domains.

Her work is well summed up in her [[User_talk:Theleekycauldron/Archive/2022/December#Editor_of_the_Week|citation to be Editor of the Week]] from last December: {{tqq|1=Recognized for her brilliant DYK prep work, eclectic article writing and active promotion at DYK, creating many prep sets and userscripts to speed up the process. She frequents [[WT:DYK]], making quick decisions on nominations and significant contributions to discussions. leek's featured work ranges from [[United States congressional delegations from Hawaii]] to [[C. J. Cregg]] to the ever-debated [[Pronunciation of GIF]], and her GAs are no less varied! Her sense of humor and ease of manner does not go unnoticed.}}

Since theleekycauldron's first RfA a year and a half ago, I've been eagerly awaiting the chance to support her second try. Theleekycauldron has grown quite a lot as an editor, and it's clear to me that she has been really thoughtful in incorporating feedback from that RfA into her everyday editing. I wholeheartedly endorse her sound judgment, communication, and temperament to be a sysop.

With that, it is my distinct privilege to submit theleekycauldron to the community for adminship. '''[[User:L235|KevinL]]''' (<small>aka</small> [[User:L235|L235]] '''·''' [[User talk:L235#top|t]] '''·''' [[Special:Contribs/L235|c]]) 23:43, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
; Co-nomination statement
As one of the first people to oppose TLC's previous RFA, I am thrilled to be co-nominating her for a second RFA. When TLC withdrew that RFA, I saw that as a sign that she was listening and willing to take criticism, and I hoped we'd be here again in the future. 

What I see now is a user that others are already coming to asking for help, a user who is hardworking, patient, and helpful to others. Those are all excellent qualities for an administrator, and I'm happy to see that they have maintained a lighthearted spirit while apparently taking on board the previous concerns about maturity and civil behavior. 

As I've said many times, everyone makes mistakes (my own first RFA failed for similar reasons), it is what we do ''after'' we make an error that is the true test of character, and I'm happy to say that I beleive theleekycauldron has passed that test and would be a fine administrator.

====Questions for the candidate====
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
:'''1.''' Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
::'''A:''' In the normal course of editing, I'll often stumble on a thing or two that needs admin work – in those cases, and others where some friendly admins might be needed, I'm happy to lend a hand. I have a broad range of technical, policy, and content experience, as well as a good disposition and sense of my limits.
::Much of my normal beat as an editor involves [[Wikipedia:Did you know|Did you know]], where I do a bunch behind the scenes. I know DYK inside and out and have firsthand experience in pretty much every part of the place, even those areas where advanced permissions are needed: [[Template:Did you know/Queue|promoting preps to queues]], helping out at [[WP:ERRORS]], adminbots, and other, more esoteric parts of DYK's functioning. DYK frequently experiences backlogs that are tough to deal with; the prep and queue systems, for example, can't store surpluses. If we can do more work than we can store, that energy is wasted, and we have no backup for times of deficit. That makes it important for DYK to maintain a consistently dedicated group of volunteers who are willing to keep up the jog over long periods of time – something I'm willing and able to do. [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 04:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

:'''2.''' What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
::'''A:''' I've done my fair share of mainspace work, including three featured articles, a featured list, 12 good articles, and a total of 67 DYK credits. My editing is mostly in the worlds of television, American politics, and music, but I'm also a bit of an omnivore and am happy to help out in a wide range of areas. It's hard to pick a favorite, but a few honorable mentions to [[C. J. Cregg]], an FA of a ''West Wing'' character and my indirect namesake; the seven other articles I've written about people who share my name; and [[Pronunciation of GIF|pronunciation of ''GIF'']], an FA that embodies why I love learning. 
:: I'm also proud of my work at DYK, where, as I mentioned above, I've lent more than a couple hands. I am the [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYK promotions|fifth most active promoter]] in DYK's recorded history (data starts from 2011), with over 2,600 logged promotions. I also help out with reviewing, raise questions at [[Wikipedia talk:Did you know]] and [[Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors]], and generally do my best to help keep the train moving. DYK is also the place where I most utilize my technological experience: I wrote the code for [[WP:PSHAW]], a tool that streamlines the DYK [[Template:Did you know/Queue|promotion process]] for both prep builders and promoting admins. I also operate [[User:GalliumBot|GalliumBot]], which logs post-promotion changes to DYK hooks, maintains [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics/Monthly DYK pageview leaders|the DYK statistics tables]], and maintains the list of DYK's most prolific promoters. Once upon a time, I also wrote [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Monthly wrap|DYK's monthly wrap]], a pet project I've always wanted to return to.

:'''3.''' Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
::'''A:''' Like most folks, while I don't often get into heated conflicts with other editors, I find myself in disagreements from time to time.  Generally, I try to stay focused (which means not taking the source of stress personally), concede when and where I think I've been wrong, and avoid going in circles. When something ''does'' get under my skin, my goal is for me to be able to take apart what happened after, figure out what caused me to react the way I did, and keep that lesson in mind for next time. If you're an editor out there who's told me that I've done something wrong: thank you, I appreciate it.

'''Optional question from [[User:Usernamekiran|usernamekiran]]'''
:'''4.''' Hi. The stock question: In your opinion, what tanked your last RfA, and what changes did you make in regards with that? (bureaucrats, kindly feel free to consider these as two questions if necessary.) —usernamekiran [[User talk:usernamekiran|(talk)]] 17:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
::'''A:''' First, my thanks again to everyone who participated in my last RfA. The opposition expressed a lot of thoughtful, constructive feedback, most importantly related to maturity and temperament. In the year and a half since that RfA, I've worked really hard to incorporate it into my editing style and routine. I'm older, I've seen more of the wiki, I have a bit of a tougher skin. All told, I'm much better at responding to criticism with an open mind and a polite demeanor. [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 18:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
'''Optional question from [[User:Rotideypoc41352|Rotideypoc41352]]'''
:'''5.''' What was your thought process behind clipping [[:File:Sample of "Hayloft", by Mother Mother.mp3]] to 30 seconds and not shorter?
::'''A:''' Oh, nice catch! Looks like that was an oversight – when I was clipping the audio, I'd made a mental note of something to the effect of "it can't be longer than 30 seconds, but you should double-check on that one". Then, when I uploaded it, I realized that I'd actually forgotten to export the clip, instead uploading the full song, which drove the whole second half of that mental note out of my head. Thanks, and my bad! I've reuploaded the file clipped to 15 seconds, which should be within the 10% limit of the 3-minute song. [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 16:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
'''Optional question from {{u|Szmenderowiecki}}'''
:'''6.''' In the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/theleekycauldron|previous RfA]] in question 12, you noted, when asked how you would use admin tools outside DYK, that {{tq|Nothing comes to mind, no; in any case, I wouldn't be using the tools in new areas until I had built up a requisite experience similar to my level of knowledge at DYK}}. Now you claim that you have "a broad range of technical, policy, and content experience, as well as a good disposition and sense of my limits" (question 1). Yet most of the contribs as far as I saw are at least tangentially, if not directly, related to DYK. Because we cannot restrict adminship to DYK, which you do well, what is it exactly that you learned in 1.5 years that you now believe you are confident to have requisite experience in fields outside DYK? If this question is not clear enough, I'll rephrase it: in which areas have you diversified your editing or which areas did you start to watch in a way that would be relevant for your admin duties and to the extent that we could say is meaningful and also a big improvement to January 2022? [[User:Szmenderowiecki|Szmenderowiecki]] ([[User talk:Szmenderowiecki|talk]]) 13:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
::'''A:''' Good question! I do think that both statements can be true. I do want to lend a hand wherever I can – at the same time, I'm not going to use the tools to dive headfirst into the water of a new area. I think it goes back to knowing your limits: For instance, I'd feel pretty okay revision-deleting blatant copyright infringement under [[WP:RD1]], because between three years of content and DYK work, I'm pretty familiar with how the tool works, and it's useful to have in the box as a content creator and reviewer. At the same time, my sphere of competence doesn't extend across the observable universe: I wouldn't feel comfortable jumping into [[WP:Arbitration enforcement|AE]] blocks, etc. Hope that helps clarify! [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 21:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
'''Optional question from [[User:Folly Mox|Folly Mox]]'''
:'''7.''' I feel like I read somewhere that {{tqq|DYK frequently experiences backlogs that are tough to deal with; the prep and queue systems, for example, can't store surpluses.}} If it would be desirable to build a DYK granary, do you have any ideas on how that might be done? Alternatively, if it is not desirable, can you explain why?
::'''A:''' Thanks for the question :) I think the current system has a few main pluses that give it staying power: it generates ready-to-go sets by default, it doesn't require a gazillion subpages or constant messing with the protection level, and a lot of the current system infrastructure relies on it. But the problem of not being able to capitalize on spikes in prep-builder and admin activity is substantial, and it's something I really would like to address somewhere down the line. If I could redesign the system however I wanted, I would have a big pile that all promoted hooks go to by default. Then, prep builders can put together sets in rotating queues, and admins can put their seal on finished sets with {{t|DYKbotdo}}. Admins can even put together and verify their own sets, as long as someone else verified all the hooks at the prep-builder stage. The one problem with that system, other than updating the other parts of the infrastructure, is image storage – the templates get a little wonky when there's more than one image in a given space. But I think {{t|main page image/DYK}} could maybe be modified to handle that better. [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 23:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
'''Optional question from [[User:Soni|Soni]]'''
:'''8.''' I understand that this is probably not policy, so this will have no bearing on my actual !vote. Editors who are not hyperactive may become confused on seeing two Wikimedians with too similar usernames, especially if they're both prolific editors. Given that you will (likely) become an admin, this confusion (with {{noping|Leaky caldron}}) might get worse now. Would you consider a username change because of this? [[User:Soni|Soni]] ([[User talk:Soni|talk]])  21:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
::'''A:''' Thanks for asking! I think it's a bit of a "no harm, no foul" case – Leaky caldron and I work in pretty different areas of the project. If memory serves, I've personally never come across them in my lines of work (other than RfA-related discussions). I think if it started to really crop up as an issue, I'd be happy to change my name – unfortunately, a dewikisource user has already snagged [[User:Claudia]], but if I had to move away from leeks and cauldrons, something related to my first name is probably where I'd go :) [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 23:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
:::{{Strikethrough|I guess my main concerns are that admins end up generally working in broader areas than regular users (say if you had to do a page deletion on Leaky's areas of the project, or discuss a thread on ANI/AN etc). And that it generally will cause noticeable confusions generally (In Village Pumps or other centralised locations, say. For example, I had to revisit a ton of my assumptions about you because I kept remembering things I noticed from Leaky for over the last N years).}}
:::{{Strikethrough|So I guess my (follow up?) question is, under what circumstance (specifically) would you consider changing your username? My personal threshold is already at "This is too confusing right now", but I don't know what your threshold would be. Is this a "Until someone brings it up on a central location" thing or a "If enough people request it", etc? [[User:Soni|Soni]] ([[User talk:Soni|talk]])  01:19, 12 August 2023 (UTC)}}
'''Optional question from [[User:MaxBrowne2|MaxBrowne2]]'''
:'''9.''' When are you going to finish your [[User:Theleekycauldron/chessboard|chess game]] with [[User:PaulHammond]]?
::'''A:''' Ah, don't mind if I do! Bishop takes c6 – if anyone else wants to jump in, feel free :) [[user:theleekycauldron|theleekycauldron]] ([[user talk:theleekycauldron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theleekycauldron|contribs]]) (she/her) 04:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
'''Optional question from [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]]'''
:'''10.''' What experience have you had in resolving or trying to resolve disputes between editors, either article content disputes or conduct disputes?  
::'''A:''' Thanks for the question! Being able to resolve conflict is a super important skill to have in one's personal toolbox, and it's something I've been able to sharpen over time and then find use for at DYK. Cutting through logjam and disagreement definitely goes a long way towards clearing up DYK's backlogs. I remember one time, a nominator and reviewer were going back and forth over a hook the reviewer contended hook was [[WP:OR|OR]]: according to the reviewer, the source never mentioned or talked about its subject, but the nominator argued that the connection between the source and the subject was clear. The discussion had started to heat up a bit by the time I got to it; it seemed to me that the nominator had probably misunderstood a word or two in the source, so I brought up the discrepancy and the nominator gracefully agreed that the source was probably talking about something completely different. Issues resolved, the nomination was stamped by a new reviewer and that was that. In general, I find it really useful to find the crux of an issue, refocus on it, and work forwards from there – it helps clear a lot of the tangents and mudslinging that can come up.

# I’ve been a fan of Theleekycauldron since she started working at DYK several years ago. The amount of work she’s put in there is pretty impressive and includes multiple improvements to the process. Her input is constructive and clueful, and she shows an enviable temperament when dealing with other editors. I was a nominator for her first RfA, which in the face of some pretty painful opposition [[Special:Diff/1068612904|she withdrew with grace]], unwaveringly [[User talk:Theleekycauldron/Archive/2022/February|continued that grace]] in the aftermath, and got right back to work. Basically everything we’d hope to see from a disappointed candidate. {{pb}} I’ve only become more enthusiastic about her as a candidate in the 20 months since. She’s not just a regular creator of top-notch content but also contributes in techie ways, and the toolset will let her contribute even more usefully in that area.

# I reached out to leek a bit after her previous RfA. I saw an editor with tremendous potential and didn't want her to feel discouraged by my opposition. She was incredibly courteous in response, and gave me guidance for my first few encounters with DYK, where I quickly learned she is without equal among active editors both in her knowledge of the intricacies of the DYK process and her commitment to bringing interesting and engaging information to 5&nbsp;million daily Main Page readers. Then she did something amazing: She made a content creator of a user-conduct admin. Since getting to know leek, I have written 7 GAs (~4 decileeks), and everything I know about content-writing, I learned from her.{{pb}}One of those GAs is [[Sarah Ashton-Cirillo]], which leek coauthored and subsequently [[Special:Diff/1129436336|advised me on]]. The article falls into a whopping four [[WP:CTOP|contentious topic]] areas, and I watched leek navigate the attendant difficulties with ease. My previous oppose was based on BLP concerns, and I don't know a better way to show that that concern is gone than to say that we brought a very difficult BLP from redlink to GA together.{{pb}}If putting up with my bullshit (and, very wisely, politely refusing my hundred or so offers of an RfA nom) weren't enough, I want to emphasize this: leek has done just about the best job anyone could ask of taking on feedback from a previous RfA. She didn't run off to some quiet noncontroversial corner of the project and tick off boxes. She kept doing what she's good at, just better. She's modernized DYK procedures in several ways and even wrote the DYK sourcing requirement that led to [[Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations/Archive_29#RfC:_change_GA_criteria_to_require_inline_citations_in_all_cases|the new GA sourcing requirement]]. Great content writer, technically adept, and already knows more about the admin area she wants to work in than most admins.

#'''Support'''.  Generally I would consider 3 years to be rather on the bubble for the level of minimal experience I would like to see from a prospective admin before assuming the tools. And that was my first impression reading this discussion, before following up with the previous RfA and learning it was largely failed on the basis of an even smaller (approximately 1 year) tenure up to that point.  Clearly this user is keen on the mop, and I suspect has spent a lot of time in the intervening period thinking about how to best frame themselves as a sysop.  And that's by no means ncesarily a bad thing: sometimes it is trying to emulate a role that we achieve the best understanding and realization of it.{{pb}}Meanwhile, in the here and now, I'm satisfied with their answers to questions and have had any concerns about experience further addressed by testimonials from others here, as well as other indications to the candidate's temperament.  Even going back to the original RfA, I found TLC's (oh great acorym!) comments and responses to feedback to be unerringly polite, considered, and seemingly sincerely receptive to feedback--and she gave forthright responses in a couple of places where she probably knew it might hurt her "numbers", which always counts for a little something with me at RfA, even when I disagree with the stance.{{pb}}All in all, I have no qualms about joining this landslide, despite the "mere" three years of experience here.  Clearly a dedicated and industrious contributor and I get no sense of likely problems with advanced permissions.  I do want you all to know that I very seriously considered voting Neutral or even Oppose with the reasoning "Because there is only one pronounciation of GIF.", out of a sheer childlike impulse to gleefully kick the hornet's nest to disturb a perfect moment, before striking and swapping in my actual feedback.  But then I imagined the faces of two hundred and eight busy, annoyed Wikipedians attached to those hornets, and thought better of it!

#:When I ran for RfA <small>(almost 6 years ago; gasp)</small>, 12 months was seen as the de facto minimum, and that had been a substantial increase from historical standards. At the time, we had a CU who had passed RfA about a year or so earlier with 10 months experience. While I know you are in support, it shocks me that 3 years can be seen as a reasonable time period to be active before running for RfA. [[User:DGG]] used to say that we usually get editors for around 5 years. In my personal experience that has been largely true (I'm around still, but barely, and my activity began to fall off at that point.) To me, it is a bit ridiculous to expect someone to wait until what would be 60% of their active time on Wikipedia to run for RfA, spend a year learning how to be an admin (it takes about that long) and then have a huge drop in activity in a year or two after.{{pb}}Again, I know you're supporting and it isn't entirely fair to use this as the forum for shock on what people think the tenure requirements should be, but it is also worth pointing out that the role of an admin hasn't changed much in 6 years, which was *not* the case between 2011 and 2017. We're in the same stage of the project we were in then, and while there are cultural differences, overall the expectations and role remain the same. Expecting 3 years of activity or seeing it as borderline is a bit much. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni|talk]]) 02:31, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
#::Well, clearly we are in 'your mileage may vary' territory on this one, but I very much do consider three years to be barely sufficient to present even a baseline understanding of the nuances of just the most foundational policies most commonly relevant to using the mop effectively.  It's true that my own contributions over the last fifteen years or so have been much more of a slow burn than the kind of "several years of intense contributions followed by a rapid tapering off" editor you describe, and I have to concede the possibility that it colours my perceptions here, but then neither variety of contributor is exactly a universal.  In any event, I do think that the floor needs to be significantly higher than the absolute pro-forma minimum; for my money, 12 months is much more 'ridiculous' as a reasonable 'de facto minimum' than is 36.{{pb}}I also do question whether the six year rule of thumb you are operating from rrepresents any sort of reality. In truth, the average tenure of our typical editor is infintesimally shorter, so we're clearly talking about some sort of subset of 'veteran editor', but the problem there is that without some firm metrics for who qualifies for ''that'' status, one is just operating from vague intuition and going to be very frequently [[begging the question]] when setting thresholds for when this or that should happen in a given wiki career.  Further, I think we can also say (with much more confidence) that our average user who ascends to administrator status is someone who stays around for significantly longer than six years.  And even the non-mopped average user who contributes heavily to community, administrative and policy spaces that I am familiar with in my time here does as well.{{pb}}Lastly, I think it bears reiterating that the entire reason I mentioned that this user was on the lower side of experience I like to see before supporting for the bit was to emphasize that these circumstances triggered a little extra scrutiny for me--and that I was satisfied in the final analysis nevertheless. I think that's a good thing to see in an RfA, and as a candidate in particular, I presume I'd be pretty satisfied to hear it.

#:::I was elected to Arbcom before I made it to 3 years of real activity. The secret to being great with policy is a willingness to reread the applicable policy before saying anything. The real trick is knowing where to look for the appropriate policy or guideline and 12-18 months is sufficient to gain that for most editors. 3 years is absurdly too high of a standard and I hope you reconsider.

#::::No introduction of tension into the matter intended or desired here folks, but I feel that I had already abundantly demonstrated that this is clearly not an infelxible standard for me, well before anybody said word one about my personal interpretation of where the proper default threshold of experience lays. Clearly the !vote would be very different (and in another section) if it were an inviolable maxim for me. I quite obviously judge each individual candidate on the merits of what they have demonstrated in terms of readiness at the time of the RfA, and the "this is the amount of experience I would ideally like to see" is the starting place for my analysis--not the end.  And I don't think I'm likely to be swayed from my perspective from what is essentially a highly subjective and multi-faceted point of perspective under these circumstances.  Let's just enjoy the rare treat of the uninamity we have in this instance, and not dig to find points to disagree over even while !voting in the same direction (i.e. finding ourselves still somehow doing the usual RfA thing despite 100% support), I'd like to suggest? :)  For what it's worth though, Barkeep, I do agree that the willingness to reexamine consensus and policy language afresh for each individual matter is more important than any purely statistical metric.

#'''Support''' I have been an early supporter of this wikipedian and I remember fondly theleekycauldron's child-like enthusiasm and BOLD willingness to risk strange looks (her early archive system, for example, left much to be desired of an admin candidate). Many nice words have been written describing her dependability and industry of late. leek's writing has improved exponentially since her first run, most would agree. I see her as an active volunteer, a reliable human being, and a terrific representative of English Wikipedia. This unusually positive RfA procedure IMHO demonstrates the benefit of being willing to be seen as making a mistake. In this formal process, when she was questioned on a file handling error (question #5), she researched the question. She quickly realized she'd goofed, fixed the error immediately and accounted for herself to the questioner. These are the actions of a mature mind, self-conscious of her own limitations yet willing to be responsive and responsible. If she made errors early in her wiki-career, she has taken wisdom from them. [[User:BusterD|BusterD]] ([[User talk:BusterD|talk]]) 16:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

=====Neutral=====
#When writing articles, theleekycauldron has a slight but worrying tendency to give undue weight to certain aspects, often internet-related, in a way that sometimes unbalances the article. Sometimes this tendency is so pronounced the article ends up close to a [[WP:COATRACK|coatrack]], as in the case of [[The Bigg Chill]] (coatracking for a Demi Lovato Instagram dispute) and [[Citizens Square]] (coatracking for a misfiring poll). I don't think this merits an oppose: most of her articles don't display these problems (quite the opposite in fact, they're among our most well-written), some cases come down to editorial taste, and for internet-related articles it will naturally be legitimate to focus on internet-related aspects.

=====General comments=====
*Just noting here for those who may not have noticed: theleekycauldron's pronouns are, according to [[User:Theleekycauldron|this]], she/her, so please use these. [[User:Nythar|<span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#36454f;">'''Nythar'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Nythar|💬]]'''-'''[[Special:Contributions/Nythar|🍀]]) 00:45, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*:This seems to be a fairly common issue. How would folks feel about modifying [[Template:RfA/readyToSubmit]] so that it includes a candidate's pronouns after the <code>(talk · contribs)</code> following their username? <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 23:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*::I'd be in support of that - RFA comments very routinely use third-person pronouns to talk about the subject of the discussion, and while leek is clear that she uses she/her, this is often not the case. It'd be good to have something standardized like this in RFAs for cases where users are not otherwise clear about the pronouns they prefer. '''[[User:AviationFreak|AviationFreak]]'''[[User_talk:AviationFreak|💬]] 04:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
*::: Both nominaters refer to "her". As someone who has written quite a few nominations myself I would be surprised if a nominator didn't include a pronoun in their statement, or forgot to agree their statement with the candidate.  Of course that leaves self noms, but in those cases it is up to the nominator how they describe themselves.  So anyone !voting in an RFA and misgendering someone has missed something in the nomination statements, and probably not looked at the candidate's userpage either. I'm not sure the solution for this is to change the process, rather to just ask people what research they have done on the candidate. Of course there will be votes where people refer to interactions they have had with the candidate in a specific area. But normal RFA !voters who have missed something in the nomination statements, I think others can gently bring that to their attention.

*Just a general observation here - this RfA (assuming it continues its current trajectory) will join the annals alongside [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Anarchyte 2]] of an example of a Wikipedian doing the absolute right thing following an unsuccessful RfA, in addressing the issues raised and running again some time later. The community is not vindictive, and none of us oppose anyone to be nasty or just for giggles - we're all here for the same reason, we all want each other to succeed, and anyone who runs for adminship is to be applauded. If you take "oppose" !votes as constructive criticism rather than an indictment on your entire character, then everyone benefits.

*:This is perhaps not the place for it, but I very much disagree. If it has been six years since a candidate successfully re-ran for RfA within two years of the original, more than a quarter of the age of the website, then this is not because all other candidates are too sensitive and emotional: the comment "try again in a year" is a joke and vilification by opposers is not "constructive criticism". — [[User:Bilorv|Bilorv]] ('''[[User talk:Bilorv|<span style="color:purple">talk</span>]]''') 12:21, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*::I do think many candidates ''could'' run successfully after a year of addressing concerns but decide not to put themselves through it again.

*::Also, it can be difficult to decide if one has taken ''enough'' time between RfAs.

Specifically, I believe [[WP:SIMILARNAME]] implies this should have already been taken care of, but given that the original account name didn't get auto-flagged/both editors have already been editing for a few years...

But, in the matter of all things, RfA included, when I am the target of such vicious slander, <em>it justifies naught but swift</em>, direct response.

**::::Now I'm just thinking about the rich and varied love lives of romantic plants - do they give each other bouquets of pollinators? Anyways a leek is an allium, part of the onion family. They look like green onions on steroids and the white part tastes like sweet onion. The green part is generally too tough to eat but it's still got good flavor, so it gets used for stock or to wrap herb bundles. Parsnips are indeed a root vegetable; they're white (yellow/brown on the outside) and look kinda like a fat squat carrot. They have a firmer texture than potatoes and have a slight peppery tang to them. When I was a kid I refused to eat parsnips because I read in a book about Paul Bunyan that if you plowed the first parsnip harvest back into the field, the second harvest would be poison - this isn't true, but hey, I was a kid, and turns out I don't really like parsnips anyways.

And yes, sometimes in the bubbling heat of the pot, maybe the potato gets caught up in the heat of the moment and carried into the mix of things--maybe it just rubs up against the meat a little. But it doesn't mean anything.  Of course, sometimes this has even been known to happen in shallot-parsnip dynamic as well.  I mean, this is all hypothetical, mind you: I have never--I mean, the shallot has never been left for a meat! Not even a filthy pork tenderloin that the shallot thought was a trustworthy friend...

**:::::::::::Also, I'm confused. leek's (the user) user page says a leek (the vegetable) is a root vegetable, but it appears they're not from this discussion?? Can someone clarify for me?????? [[User:Pamzeis|Pamzeis]] ([[User talk:Pamzeis|talk]]) 00:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
**::::::::::::Haha, yeah, the clarification is that my metaphors there are beyond mixed and confused from the start.  The distinction I really should have gone for would be alliums and tubers, I suppose? But that's really just the start of the winding convolution that resulted from my uncommon attempt to embrace humour on-project.  I have brought great shame upon the School of Not Taking Things Too Seriously.  I expect I shall be flogged vigourously by Eeng with a rubber chicken.

**::::::::::::[[File:Leek.jpg|thumb|Leek]]
**::::::::::::Leeks (and most alliums) are a bit confusing. The part of the leek that is eaten develops underground, which makes it seem like it must be a root. But the actual root of a leek is little hairy things that stick out from the base. The edible part is actually the bottom of the leaves. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 11:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

**::::::::::::::No, as a psuedo-taxonomical matter, I do believe they are still classified as root vegetables.  Mind you, there are other root vegetable species that store a lot of their energy reserves in below-the-surface structures (and thus lend themselves to cultivation) that are separate from the roots ([[tubers]] for example--indeed this is the general structure for such plants).
