[edit] A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

I'd like to thank you Junglecat for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD socks

Wow, that is certainly one of the more...interesting AfD's I've read in a while. Even SlimVirgin contributed to it.

Anyway, it's a "controversial" article and as such the AfD will run that way. The turnout for an AfD is often proportional to the amount of edit-warring in said article. The user has only made the one contribution so there's no telling if it is a sock or a random person lead to the AfD by the article notice. Either way, not a lot to do but watch the user and see if the account is used again, and if so does it mimic another user's contributions. Along those lines, I found LewisRyder's contribution history to be odd; not to mention using Lupin's tools in an edit war on Jihad Watch. I'll keep an eye on both of them. Overall, I say that's typical for an AfD running the way it is. Keep in touch if you need further help, happy editing to you! Teke^(talk) 01:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp laudare 01:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jihad Watch - Suspicious Behaviour etc.

Hi JungleCat,

Could you kindly inform why you are insinuating I am an “AfD sock”?

My edits have been fine (if not, kindly highlight where!), I was clarifying and expanding on the aforesaid article and trying to put in a ‘neutral point of view’. This is plain to see.

Upon making a single change it was hastily reverted by another (usually a “Jihad watch” News-Editor). My edits clearly suggest I tried to balance the article. and compromised on several occasions. I am still surprised that the article was not deleted, may you please explain the reasoning behind your actions.

Moreover, as somone who has studied religions thoroughly, and researched many on Wikipedia, I strongly suggest that a "Blog" link, with no NPOV, and a single point of view, with no notablility should be struck off an encyclopedic entry.

Best wishes, Lewis Ryder (LewisRyder 09:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC))

Thank you for the response JungleCat, and the clarification, however may I kindly inquire why the article that linked the blog was kept?

(p.s. I only specialise in three topics :p)

(LewisRyder 17:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC))

Your responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you for the clarifications. I will soon be adding onto the aforesaid article, 'being bold' per-say after revisiting the Wikipedia guidelines. If you (or other admin/s) have any concerns be sure to dispatch me a message,

Best,

Lewis (LewisRyder 19:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] JPD's RfA

Thanks, Junglecat, for your support at my RfA, which finished with a tally of 94/1/0. I hope I live up to the confidence you have shown in me in my activities as an administrator. I suppose I could do with something like Spic and Span as well :-). JPD (talk) 15:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TerrorStorm_(2nd_Nomination)

This is a response to your comment on my talk page:

Hi there JungleCat, yes i appreciate i should have said that editors "seem to be acting in a bigoted fashion" rather than simply using the word 'bigots' which on reflection could of course cause offence. I will make a comment on the AfD about this too. My point is that i used the word 'bigots' because it seems the people wanting to delete this article are not so much interested in the film (have YOU seen it by the way? it does raise some interesting questions in my opinion) rather they are engaged in a vendetta with Striver. But of course a story has at least two sides - mayeb Striver did load up lots of unnotable 9/11 pages as User:GabrielF suggests, but if he did i haven't seen them. I have seen User:GabrielF/911TMCruft which makes his POV pretty clear. I also want to address this in the AfD. As for my comment to you here, well I would just like to say that if you are making comments like [1] then its not just me who needs to remember to comment on content and not the contributor! Cheers, respectfully yours. Mujinga 12:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disco Ball?

You mean this one?

Or perhaps this one?

--TBCTaLk?!? 19:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

First coming onto your userpage was so funny. The tiger looking at the ball... LOL-- ExpImp^talkcon 00:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I went looking for it not long after I spotted it (yeah, I was lazy and didn't feel like navigating through Wiki commons for it). I thought TBC had it or might know where it was. TBC hooked me up, so there you go. I figured I need a little bit of humor on my page. Otherwise, you go crazy. I'm not a machine man! I'm thinking of starting a "Wiki" humor section - the kind of stuff that really happened here, nothing made up. Later! JungleCat talk/contrib 00:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't often comment on people's userpages, but the tiger staring at the ball made me burst out laughing. And the caption... hahahaha. — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc|damage report} 02:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! If I have made one person's day better with this, I feel I have helped out by lighten the mood here. We need some good stuff to laugh at. I will look for more. Cheers! JungleCat talk/contrib 03:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Down under RfA

Before Mcginnly made his oppose, he explained his position when he asked question 6 and commented on the reply, so his oppose was explained. The amount of people on one side of a debate is no reason not to be on the other side. I find it commendable that someone is prepared to state an unpopular view and stand by what he believes. It shows integrity, which is a valuable quality to be encouraged, not ostracised. If a firestorm of comments ensued, and you disapprove of the firestorm, then you should criticise the people who commented, as they are responsible for that. Mcginnly didn't invite anyone to firestorm: he simply stated his own position. RfA, along with other processes such as AfD, is meant to have the quality of debate, which, far from being disruptive, is essential. There is nothing to indicate that Mcginnly was acting to make a POINT, so one should AGF. I stated that I saw your comments as being made in good faith, but nevertheless they were mistaken and an uncalled for slur, which did not themselves AGF. We have to be tolerant of others to create a collaborative working environment. I hope that puts things into perspective. I might point out I was a co-nom for Sarah! Tyrenius 16:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Er, people are meant to actually read through the nom. :) If other people are getting uptight, all the more reason not to! I think reasoned argument is better than emotional pressure. The lone voice may have something useful to add. Worth thinking about... Tyrenius 16:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant the optional questions, not the nom per se. Yes, it is going well. :) Tyrenius 17:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad about that. It shows the value of WP:AGF and a little caution to start with. My first reaction was to check the contributions, and I realised he was a serious editor, who at least deserved to be heard. There's a useful tool here. Tyrenius 17:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Re. your question on responding to RfAs etc, I would say, yes, go ahead and make your case, which is a good one, as it is designed to help people and to maintain standards of CIVILITY. Tyrenius 02:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Junglecat, for voting on my RFA, which passed 95 to 1. Now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —this is messedrocker (talk) 18:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Konstable's RfA thanks

Hi Junglecat, thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which was closed as successful last Wednesday with a unanimous support of (47/0/0). I will do my best to help keep Wikipedia clean, green and vandal free. Once again, thank you! --Konstable 14:47, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Sorry I'm so late in replying to your message on my talk page. Tyrenius also replied but I'd like to make a personal response, too! I saw your conversation with Tyrenius on his talk page and am glad the two of you sorted it out, but don't call yourself ignorant!! Of course you're not. You're a great editor. :) I dislike those one-line opposes, too. They should be lengthy so that the candidate knows what s/he needs to improve upon, in my opinion. I'm glad Tyrenius looked at the opposer's contribs; I might not have done that. Of course, if I was an admin or b-crat looking at it, I certainly would have investigated the user, but I'm in no position to indent votes.

Anyways, I hope you're having a fantastic day! :) Srose (talk) 18:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. As a small editor I don't have the best skills or knowledge of Wiki that I should. I will do my best to improve. I don't know if lets say a year from now I would think of being an Admin. That sounds like a demanding/tough job. About the short opposes, as you saw I found out why the user was opposed, but he could have used a little more tact. Give my best to Yanksox! (I must go and see if I can photograph an old sawmill near Mauriceville, Texas). JungleCat talk/contrib 19:03, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belated thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. Consensus to promote was reached, and I am now an administrator. I'll be using the tools cautiously at first, and everyone should feel welcome to peer over my shoulder and make sure I'm not doing anything foolish. --Robth^Talk 04:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully earlier this week with a result of (50/3/0). If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to write me. I hope I will live up to your trust. Michael 19:37, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding my RfA

Hehe, thanks for giving me that question. At least, I now have a heads-up on what I would potentially face as admin (regarding images and such).

Thanks, and happy editing!

--Nishkid64 22:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

No prob's! It looks like you are going to do very well. Keep up the good work. JungleCat talk/contrib 22:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thankyou Junglecat :)

Hey Junglecat. You beat me to it. I've been working my way around to everyone but I keep getting distracted by interesting userpages! So I'm afraid I'm rather slow.
Thankyou for your message, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting my RfA. And thank you for defending me. I did notice your posts on User talk:Srose and User talk:Tyrenius and I was very, very grateful for the kind, supportive and generous words you wrote about me. I'm sorry you were so upset and that you got a rap over knuckles for your comments, but I found it very encouraging, when people started opposing, that someone felt that strongly about my candidacy. Thankyou for being so supportive and encouraging of someone you had never even spoken to before. I want you to know that I really appreciate your support. Please don't hesitate to give me a yell if I can be of assistance. Best wishes, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Lefty's RfA thanks

Hi, Junglecat, and thanks for supporting me in my recent request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 70/4/4. I hope I can live up to your expectations, and if there's ever anything you need, you know where to find me! --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 00:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A request for help...

Hey Junglecat, I noticed that you are listed in the cats as an American engineer and I was wondering if I could ask you for some advice? It is an admin related issue. I tried to email you, but you don't seem to have email activated. Do you think you could activate it here: [2]. The email will be sent via Wikipedia and I won't be able to see your email addy, IP or anything like that unless you decide to reply. Cheers mate, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Great to hear from you, Junglecat and thankyou very much for that! Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks JC. I sent it just a minute ago, so you should get it soon. I really value your insight and will be very grateful for any thoughts and opinions you might have. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou very much JungleCat. I really appreciate your input. I've moved your reply to preserve your sanity because the author has posted on my talk page numerous times and I'm worried if she sees your comment you may be subjected to the same kind of messages I've been getting. Thanks again for your help, JC. Much appreciated. :) Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 19:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nishkid64's Rfa thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free talk to me. I hope I will live up to your expectations. --Nishkid64 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: My approval for VandalProof

Ack, this doesn't look good. The software ignores edits made to the list by non-moderators, and I'm concerned that we may have fried this a little. Could you tell me exactly what you've done so far, and then we can work out the best way forward? Thanks. —Xyrael / 15:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so you haven't edited any VandalProof pages on Wikipedia? —Xyrael / 17:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If you haven't edited any pages with big lists of users on, we're okay :) For those files, I suggest you try running the new version because if you were able to run one of the older ones with no issues (aside from the version update message, which wouldn't appear without those files), you probably have them all. So, good luck! Please feel free to let me know if there are any problems, and sorry for being a little snappy with you earlier. Thanks. —Xyrael / 07:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1957 Chevy Bel Air Body

It seems newsworthy that a new 1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible body is now available. Even if you do not include and names or links, it still seems like something that people who are interested in the 1957 Chevy would be interested in. Don't you think so?

Regards - Jason - carsinc@gmail.com

[edit] Dates

Hey Junglecat. I looked at a few feature articles and it seems that either format is okay. St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is one example of a FA which doesn't link the accessed dates. Also, Citing sources doesn't say they have to be linked. So it looks to me like either is acceptable, but if you want a more definitive answer, you could try asking on Wikipedia talk:Featured articles or one of the other FA talk pages. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 05:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thank you for the revert on my userpage. Apparently, Jermaine911 did not like the note about nonsense articles I left on his talkpage the other day. He's a vandal, and will be blocked sooner or later. ---Charles 01:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No probs! Give me time and more experience. Should have cleaned up faster! JungleCat talk/contrib 01:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries, sir. I haven't any complaints! ---Charles 02:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why was I reverted?

Why was my edit to Sexual arousal reverted? All I did was remove "mln;lghkjkjl;klu,k'" which seems to be to be nonsense. Did I not follow the right rules? Link to edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sexual_arousal&diff=79182513&oldid=79182460 Thanks.

[edit] RfA thoughts

Hey JC! I'll have a look at it maybe sometime tomorrow, doing a bit of RC patrol now and then going to bed in about half an hour (it's late here!) Thanks for sending me the link. Cheersy, — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc-damage report} 17:11, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey JungleCat, had a look at your RfA thoughts. Interesting how closely they mirror mine :) One thing I might disagree with very slightly, is the getting even section. Sometimes it might be good to let other people in the community know about disagreements a !voter has had with a candidate, especially if it is particularly nasty. If these issues are isolated, this could be a good thing; on the other hand, if the candidate has disagreed with a small group of users consistently, I generally see this as a sign of pettiness.

Also with the oppose pile-on section, I completely agree that pile-on should be avoided after, say, 10 opposes without supports. However, I recently !voted neutral in an RfA that was clearly going to fail, cited pile-on avoidance as the reason, and suggested withdrawal. However, Joe made a neutral vote a little after my own, which has some links which made me think about my policy of voting neutral when the RfA is clearly WP:SNOWballing towards failure. You may want to take a look at it. I will still vote neutral to avoid discouraging a potentially great user, but the links made me think about 'moral support' votes.

Still, it was an interesting read. Have you had a look at the RfA talk page? Lots of discussion going on about overhauling the RfA process, you may want to take part in it (things haven't gotten angry... yet :p) — riana_dzasta _{wreak havoc-damage report} 11:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear Junglecat Thank you very much for voting in my request for adminship. In the end, not many people let their opinion be known, and I didn't get the mop just yet.

Hi. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other more, seeing as we've both been active. It's a bigger wiki than I sometimes realize. I had to jog my memory as to where we'd interacted before - that deletion discussion does seem long ago. Congratuations on the GA - I've never done one of those, but then I spend all my time on Wiki-gnome tasks like page moves and trying to put out the occasional flame war. One of these days, I keep telling myself...

Thanks for the note; it's good to hear you're having fun with the project. I'll see you around. =) -GTBacchus^(talk) 08:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glenn McCarthy

Great article, it's about time it was created! Please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Houston and become a participant if you're interested. Thanks Postoak 00:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I've searched everywhere and cannot find a PD image of John Henry Kirby. There were a few at the Stephen F. Austin State University web page that looked promising. Does the state gov have any PD image resources that you know of? Postoak 03:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll check it out also. I've added article Shamrock Hotel. I think it should complement the McCarthy article. I was there at the last St. Patrick's day party before the place closed in 1986. What a night! Postoak 04:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The article is featured at Portal:Houston. I wish I could find a PD image of Mr. McCarthy for the portal since fair use cannot be used. Do you know of any? Postoak 22:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that my attempts at anonymity may be in vain? :) --Ars Scriptor (formerly Aguerriero) 03:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

I have opened a case of arbitration at Requests for arbitration:Seabhcan--MONGO 08:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support at RFA

I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me, and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future. Cheers! -- nae'blis 22:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Seabhcan

[edit] My RfA

Oh, the humanity! I had my doubts about a second RfA, but even I couldn't have predicted the way it caught fire and inexorably drifted to the ground in flames, causing quite a stir on its way down. Still, it was encouraging to see the level of support and confidence. Thank you for yours, and I hope I'll still have it the next time around. Kafziel Talk 14:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On November 29, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Glenn McCarthy, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hello Junglecat and thankyou for writing this article, which GeeJo kindly nominated. In future, do not feel shy in self-nominating as the majority of our articles are such. Thanks again and happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your support with my RfA. My nomination succeeded. I appreciate your support. Thanks again! =) -- Gogo Dodo 23:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Withdrawn

I appreciate your support, but have decided to withdraw from consideration for a position as an arbitrator. The community has overwhelming found me to be too controversial to hold that position. Thanks again for your time.--MONGO 19:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Had I been in the 70% range, I would have continued my quest. I am probably more effective helping others quickly defeat harassment if I am just an admin. Thanks again.--MONGO 20:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Very impressed with your edits, so...

[edit] Thanks for all your contributions

You've done a lot of good work here. Take a break and enjoy the holidays. If you want to come back later, that would be great. If you don't feel like it, there are plenty of other ways to contribute to society. There is a general recognition that the wiki doesn't work as well as it should, and I would not urge anyone to join the community at this point. Clearly there are unresolved problems with retaining good people and getting rid of trolls and vandals. Hopefully some mechanisms will evolve that are better than using people as long as it's convenient and then throwing them away. There is a human tendency to ignore anything that seems managable until it is an immmediate threat. I guess wikis aren't immune to that. Best wishes, Tom Harrison ^Talk 03:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Famous quote

Arguing with someone who is determined to be polemical is always a failure - first they drag you to their level and beat you with experience. I suggest you stop. Hipocrite - «Talk» 16:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

You know what? You are correct. I'll let someone else take it from here (or drop it). JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 16:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

FYI - I suspect, as usual, the best argument against that user's case is that user's case. Hipocrite - «Talk» 17:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I was supposed to take a long wikibreak and get away from this stuff. But I guess this matter at hand takes priority. There is just too much happening right now. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 17:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saw you go on a short wikibreak. Is everything okay?

[edit] Accidental revert

My apologies. It was an accidental revert with Lupion. I'll be more careful. Cheers Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 00:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you.

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which was successful. I will do my best to wield the broom wisely! | Mr. Darcy talk 20:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
