Nomination: I hereby nominate User:Chuck Entz as a local English Wiktionary Bureaucrat. We all know him and his careful work both in mainspace and dealing with unruly editors and vandals, and I have complete trust in him to do the job well. There are currently 8 bureaucrats, but only two of them are regularly/reliably active, and we have had backlogs now and then as a result, putting us back in the situation we had in 2012. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds03:22, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support on the condition that the nominated editor will lose bureaucrat rights if, in future, someone creates a vote that seeks to confirm him in the bureaucrat position and the vote does not achieve consensus for keeping bureaucrat rights; oppose to the extent the condition is not met. This is nothing personal; it is as a matter of general useful principle. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:48, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it is up to the closing admin to pass questionable claims of conditions, such as that they are "illogical". For, the closure should be objective, and I believe the claim that my conditional voting is "illogical" is far from obvious (I would actually claim it is obviously false). I would ask the closing admin to restrict such dubious claims to posts in which he does not act as a closing admin. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, "passes" is unequivocally the case, no possible qualms. Other than that, the above comment contains zero proving, argumentation or pointing to evidence, and is rather merely an assurance which does not probably deserve further comment. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have provided long and detailed arguments about why your conditional voting is procedurally impossible, illegal, and misleading. You have chosen to ignore them or provide little counterargument in each case. As stated before, I would consider your conditional votes to be oppositions unless and until you create a policy vote applying the condition universally. As it stands, I will directly opposed the implementation of your condition until said vote is passed. Again, I think the content of your condition is perfectly sensible and well-intentioned but, from a parliamentary standpoint, indefensible. I'm sorry if it seems like I have been mean or picking an argument with you in this or previous votes (I thoroughly enjoy your contributions to this project both in content and discussion), but I firmly believe that these conditions are not the way to solve this problem. —JohnC506:33, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
