• I wish I had been around earlier this month, so I could advocate Fluffernutter for OS while the community was still accepting editor input. It's not that I think she's better than the other two, any of the three would be fine, but we really do need an Oversighter who hangs around on the IRC. Some variation of "Holy shit, I need an OS urgently" is said in #wikipedia-en at least a few times a week, by my estimation. Having someone in #wikipedia-en with OS rights would be a huge boon, and Fluffernutter is in #wikipedia-en regularly. Courcelles is there less often, and I've never seen WilliamH there, unless he uses a different nick. Sven Manguard Wha? 10:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Scratch that, WilliamH is around, just not usually when I'm awake. Any of these three candidates would solve that 'we need an OS in the IRC' issue. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

• This comment draws on nothing more than my own very limited and slanted experience. User:Courcelles's summary response to User:Jayjg's recent request for me to be blocked suggests less than the ideal degree of caution in someone to be entrusted with the drastic powers of "disappearance" conferred by Oversight authority. Obviously just my opinion. Opbeith (talk) 16:19, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
