There is a lot I can say about Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/HouseBlaster. If your time is short or you would (wisely) prefer not to read my ramblings, here is a quick summary:
- My RfA was in fact stressful
- The outcome of an RfA is a lot less certain when it is your RfA
- I was expecting "content creation" opposes, and I agree that my content creation is not the best. Additionally, content creation is hard to measure quantitatively (§ Content creation)
- I was not expecting "bureaucratic" opposes, and will strive to improve in that way (§ On being bureaucratic)
- The Doug diff was one of those "why in the world did I say that?" moments (and it gets its own section)
- Good nominators are essential (and thank you, Moneytrees and theleekycauldron)
- If you take away nothing else: Please do not ask superlative questions!
