[edit] RFA

Your RfA doesn't look so good. This makes me feel terrible :-/ By the way I don't see the problem with the image requested template, I think its a good thing as I've replaced one of those before... Redwolf24 22:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Don't feel bad, you had nothing to do with the conflict, it was a completely seperate and pointless issue , that I unfortunately had to be involved in. ∞Who?¿? 05:17, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gender benders

Hi, thought I would make a new section, for ease of reading and discussion. Here is the link I told you about. Spivak pronoun, when you get into those gender specific areas, some people, and I stress some, understand these. I often get into that same situation, sometimes I just put a link to their username/userpage in order to work around it :) Hope that helps, or is educational if you already didn't know them. ∞Who?¿? 04:28, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this. I was talking with a lady friend <.< >.> anywho, I read about this before I even registered. It drives me nuts to tell the truth. I STRONGLY suggest you read The Language Police, which as for the article, I'll work on when not talking with these people.. Redwolf24 04:32, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

No prob, had categories to move anyhow. Yea, I'm not all for that "Language Police" stuff, I somewhat believe in "PC" comments, to be polite, but not really. I think it is actually more offensive to remove or censor/edit topics that were written in good faith, without original gender/race bias, than to nit-pick what someone interprets the language to say. I meant, only use it in discussion, to avoid a gender blunder, but would never use it in an article or to censor a topic. ∞Who?¿? 06:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

You randy little bugger; always off chatting up the ladies when you should be welcoming new users or fighting trolls! I may just have to go change my vote... ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 05:01, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

:-O! Fine Ill stop. By the way, my bud WolfDreams is a new wiki user. Im helping him out... Redwolf24 05:04, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Uh oh! And BTW, I went by and left WolfDreams a nice note. -- Essjay -· Talk 05:24, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA

Thanks for the well-reasoned comment to my vote (though I don't completely know what the second half meant). I've already (before your message) supported User:Who, as I come across him frequently on CfD, occasionally on TfD and elsewhere. I do not think I will be voting in User:Essjay's RfA since you currently have two nominations out there, which is rather too many IMHO (there are other places to make friends...), and I have good backgrounding in Who, and very little in Essjay. It looks like all 3 of you will succeed however: congratulations! -Splash 05:44, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I nominated Essjay before I even met who but then I saw who wasnt an admin which was OUTRAGEOUS so I had to nominate him. Im considering nominating you as I see you in so many places... but if I were to not for a like a week, when the three of us clear our nominations. ; - ) Redwolf24 05:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I already left my thoughts at Who's RfA. -- Essjay -· Talk 05:51, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Well that kind of angered me. I commented too. Redwolf24 05:57, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

<after edit conflict>

I wrote my comment on Who's RfA before I got your message on my talk page and replied here. I didn't cross post. -Splash 06:04, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind suggestion (particularly considering my opposition to your RfA). However, I would prefer it if this was left for a while as my first edit was on 2nd June 2005. I'd never pass on that basis alone, despite my edit count and involvement (though it might make an interesting test of how rigid the 3 month rule really is!). You can take a look at User:Guettarda's comment on my talk page as evidence of this. Also, I think it would better if your current RfAs (including your own) had dropped out of recent Wiki-memory before making anymore (or before making one for me, at least). But thanks anyway! -Splash 06:04, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I already replied to Essjay's comment on his talk pge. He considers the matter closed. -Splash 20:26, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I've already archived the discussion; it's here. -- Essjay -· Talk 20:44, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Break

I'm sorry to hear that Red; if you need to talk, you know where to find me. -- Essjay -· Talk 05:45, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. Redwolf24 05:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, I was bored so I took the Wikipediholism test; I belive 608 is a sign I should consider rehab. Thank God I have tenure. (Oh, and don't you think it's about time you archived this page?) -- Essjay -· Talk 07:46, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy

Could you please add full speedy tags to articles instead of just the category? ({{db}}, {{d}}, and {{speedy}} should work)- Mgm|^(talk) 08:18, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

k, thanks. Redwolf24 20:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your help

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have successfully added to the category. Also thanks to Essjay.(YSC Fan 09:17, 17 July 2005 (UTC))

Absolutely NO problem. :) Redwolf24 20:31, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You're welcome

Hi, you're very welcome and certainly deserving of adminship. Sorry to see you're feeling stressed, hope things improve soon.

The name comes from a book BTW, called Beyond Lies the Wub. I've never actually read it (I'm not really into sci-fi), but a friend had it and I just liked the absurd title so much I decided to pinch it :) the wub "?/!" 14:24, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I'm just answering messages and watching over the 3 RfA's I'm a part of... I'm not into science fiction either but the wub is a good name I must admit ;) Redwolf24 20:32, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redwolves

Ah. Yes. There are a number of you canis lupus types prowling around Wikipedia. I mistook you for Redwolf when making that comment. However, if it helps, I did look though your contributions before voting, and did wonder why I was not seeing the sorts of contributions I thought you typically made. That being said, I'm happy that someone that contributes as you do should be an admin. Oh, I feel terrible now :) --Tagishsimon (talk)

Yes there's also RedWolf and his bot, CanisRufus. I should make a category of Redwolves >xD Redwolf24 20:33, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Toy

Hey, Red, I made you a new toy to help cheer you up. It's an autowelcomer! Just type the name of any user into the box, and it will automatically welcome the user (well, it will take you to thier page and insert all the text, you'll still have to click "save page.") Hope you like it! -- Essjay -· Talk 16:04, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

(I removed it, Red, because it was being used by someone else; check the page history. -- Essjay -· Talk 18:44, July 17, 2005 (UTC) )

What, I didn't say anything! El_C 19:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

never mind

[edit] Me, I speak English

But I am Spanish so If you need info on colloquial phrases or anything else, just ask. I do love messages too :)

[edit] re:Barnstar

Thank you for the barnstar. It's nice to know that others see me as a good editor here! Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 15:31, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

No problem, ou definately deserve it. I'm enjoying my RfA while we're on the topic of egoboosts :) Redwolf24 22:11, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Checking In

Hey, Red, haven't talked to you in a while; just checking in on you. I saw that you were going to be out today; drop me a line when you get back and let me know how things went. (And also, whether or not you checked the history to find the autowelcomer.) -- Essjay -· Talk 21:52, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Yep I saw it. Handy! You mean I should go pick it up? OH by the way I didn't leave to see my grandpa yet... its like a 5 hour drive and we didn't feel like making it today. Redwolf24 22:11, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, I didn't want to leave it out in the open; we had some problems yesterday with User:Marijuanaisbad using it to "welcome-spam" people, including Jimbo. I figured you'd go copy the code and paste it somewhere in your subspace. Sorry to hear you didn't make it to see your grandpa, but glad to hear you're back with us! -- Essjay -· Talk 23:23, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Ugh. Yeah I'll go retrieve it now :) Redwolf24 23:28, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Good; I'd hate to have gone to all that trouble for nothing. ; - ) Also, I have a page I want you to see, but I don't want to post a direct link here, so I'm going to email you. -- Essjay -· Talk 23:30, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Abuse

You've suffered your fair share of abuse lately haven't you? Is that just from welcoming a new user? Added User talk:Iamzodyourzodeveryzod to VIP on Saturday (for something else but added his contributions here to my complaints)! Regards Mark 00:04, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I did an AN/I on him & Marijuanaisbad, too. -- Essjay -· Talk 00:08, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Whoa there, zod has apologized to me and I think he's fine now, that was a while ago and he was blocked for it. Redwolf24 04:17, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Check out Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; there's been a discussion there of what's gone on. -- Essjay -· Talk 18:39, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome, Redwolf24! --MarkGallagher 12:52, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

No prob Mark. And as for Who, thank you! Redwolf24 21:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for adminship

Hello, Redwolf24/Archive05 REDWOLF24 IS THE BEST!!! I have just submitted a request for adminship, and I would be honored if you submitted a vote. :) Thanks, Sango123 19:06, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Lmao, I see you said {{PAGENAME}}. I feel slightly less special now. You should've at least said Subst:PAGENAME :-P Redwolf24 21:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm deeply sorry. I should have typed REDWOLF24 IS THE BEST!!! :D And thanks for supporting me! (I'm a she, by the way.) Regards, Sango123 21:59, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

I knew it!!!!! I knew you were a she!!! but everyone was saying you're a he and you didn't object. Rawr, Redwolf24 22:03, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I tried at vote #7, but it didn't quite work. XD And I humbly thank you for the drama and excitement table! :) Sango123 22:15, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

"[...] why she's self nominating I mean I'm sure many people would've nominated him." Yay! We've reached a compromise! :D Sango123 22:19, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Considering your cold, thoughtless {{PAGENAME}}, I feel I must go retract my vote now. ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 22:04, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Retract your vote if you must... just keep in mind that my grandmother is ailing and Boohbahs are seeking world domination! ;) Sango123 22:15, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Considering the potential invasion, I'll leave it for now, but if they don't attack, I'm starting an RfAr! ; - ) By the way, what's wrong with your Grandma? -- Essjay -· Talk 23:17, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

She has clinical depression and some other things that come with old age, so you'd better not aggravate that with a request for arbitration! ;) Sango123 23:45, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

This wouldn't be complete without accusing someone of being a sockpuppet... Sango123 you are a sock of ClockworkSoul! :-P Redwolf24 23:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I won't aggrivate it then; I know what depression is like (I'm bipolar). -- Essjay -· Talk 23:56, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hahaha!!! I didn't see that She/Him thing. You do me a favor and fix that :-P Redwolf24 23:59, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Fixed! And how'd you know I was a sockpuppet... unless you're one as well?! ;) (My condolences, Essjay). Sango123 01:27, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

As for me, don't worry about it; as long as I take my meds, I do fine. (And I have a Psychiatric Service Dog who keeps me in check.) -- Essjay -· Talk 13:33, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Boothy

Boothy's a she? --Golbez 19:51, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Well Boothy sounds more feminine to me, much like for example, Woohookitty. Redwolf24 21:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

Hi Redwolf, thanks for the thanks! I do know where Bothel is, I spent many a night playing some texas hold-em and bowling when I got broke at the Casino/Arcade/Bowling ally up there. I used to live in Bellevue and the Green Lake part of Seattle when I was a dot-commer. Maybe a Wikipedia meetup for the PNW is in order? Triddle 20:40, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

You, me, Jwrosenzweig, Michael Snow... Perhaps we should have another Seattle meetup. Redwolf24 21:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

You're quite welcome. I give you extra points for the Fonz pic. Woot. ^_^ --Merovingian (t) (c) 22:06, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Haha, your signature takes up more space than your comment! Anyways yes I take a pride in my user page. Redwolf24 22:08, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I am sadly aware of that. If I put it in a template, do you think it would turn out alright? --Merovingian (t) (c) 22:10, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Not sure, test it out. But it is a pretty signature I must say :-P Redwolf24 22:13, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I definitely will. --Merovingian (t) (c) 22:14, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Seems good so far. --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 22:20, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Excellent :D Happy editing. Redwolf24 22:22, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Aye, you too. --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 22:23, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hmm you seem to be one of the younger admins... I still believe that once mine clears I'll be the youngest ever. Stay tuned Redwolf24 22:25, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh? How old (or young) are you (if I may)? --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 22:32, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

You'll find that out when I win my RfA :D Redwolf24 22:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Ooh, intriguing.  ;) --User:Merovingian (t) (c) 22:34, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Darn kids! The place is full of them! Now, where did I put my Correctol? ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 23:05, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Redwolf. Once you win your RfA, could you also tell me how old you are? This shall be interesting.... :) Sango123 01:32, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from User:Kander

Hey User:Redwolf24,

I guess you get these thank-you notices a lot.. just wanted to let you know it's appreciated! Keep up the good work!

Kander 22:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Your thank you is appreciated too! Redwolf24 22:51, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I welcome just as many people as Red, and I rarely get thank yous...I think he stalks my contribs and replaces my welcome with his! Vandal! ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 23:03, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Pffft sure ya do ; - ) Redwolf24 23:19, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Howabout1

Thanks for the input, but I'm not going to withdraw it. Feel free to oppose it, but from the support, I might make it. I really want adminship, but on my first RfA, people said I wasn't exerienced enough. One said if I doubled my edit count (I had 650 at the time) they would support. So, having done that at 1300, I nominated myself. The supporters now seem to trust me, so I don't feel I need more edits. I don't really beleive in edit counts any way, except if someone has 1 or 2 hundred. So thanks again, but I'm not going to take your advice. Howabout1 ^{Talk to me!} 23:05, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

No problem. Essjay convinced me and I'll be supporting you as soon as my RfA cleared. I'll avoid any controversy until then. Redwolf24 23:19, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

See, I knew I could get my sockpuppet straightened out! ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 23:30, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Be Bold?

Redwolf24,

It's me again. I need some help :) I've gone ahead and was bold, by starting a new page (Amapasaurus_tetradactylus), after stumbling upon it's parent using Random Article. My problem(s) are fairly simple:

1. Did I Do The Right Thing? (aka: Can someone check and see if I made screw-ups somewhere?)
2. How To Link To URLs With Square Brackets? (ie: See my references.. one of the sources I used has a url containing square brackets, which are seen as markup by the wiki..)

If it doesn't take too much of your time, could you check these things out for me?

Taken care of at his page. ANd yes you did the right thing :D You seem to be on your way to becoming a great editor. Redwolf24 00:47, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Congrats on your nomination on the RfA, and the overwhelming support! -- BMIComp (talk) 01:32, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that congrats :D Redwolf24 01:33, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You are Welcome

You are very welcome Redwolf24, you are truly deserving of the admin title and I believe you will be up to the task of adminship. Continue the good work. Derktar 04:02, July 20, 2005 (UTC).

Thanks for your kind words. Sincerely, Redwolf24 04:03, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your Addicted

You say that you're addicted to wikipedia. I'm just wonderin', but how addicted are you?--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 11:07, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

He's pretty darn addicted! His score is 475. -- Essjay -· Talk 13:31, July 20, 2005 (UTC) (who scored 608)

Yeah the average registered user gets like what, 70? 100? Redwolf24 21:36, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I get 80 or something. I try to limit my time spent on wikipedia to 1 hour, but some times I forgot to check the clock. Anyway, why are you so addicted? Since when did you get addicted? --Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 07:25, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Been addicted since Early June. But look at Essjay's score!! Redwolf24 07:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

And I'm only at a measley 387. :( ∞Who?¿? 07:32, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

What can I do to help make you less addicted, Redwolf?--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 07:40, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hah, NOTHING ;D Redwolf24 09:49, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Wow Who, 387, that's also really addicted. Redwolf24 10:31, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm not addicted; I checked with my psychiatrist and he says that as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of my life (and come on, I have tenure, what are they going to do, fire me because I cancelled all my fall term classes and gave all the students automatic C's?) ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 15:05, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hey I was just saying I've never seen a score higher than mine, let alone one over 600! Redwolf24 15:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for voting in my RfA; I promise I'll wield my sacred mop with care. If you ever need me for anything, you know where to find me. Thanks again!

Of course, thank you for nominiating me, and everything else; I'm so excited! -- Essjay -· Talk 15:09, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

And thank you for that copy and pasted thank you message despite I was the one who nominated you :-P Redwolf24 21:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I had 68 people to thank! I did at least give you the extra line there! Considering that comment, and that I nominated you for yours, I'll expect a 900 word essay on why you'll be a good admin when you win! -- Essjay -· Talk 15:02, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

A lot of the biggest users voted in yours I see yet they seem to have avoided mine. Such as... SlimVirgin, Lucky 6.9, and Mindspillage. Also it was odd how many people are saying three months isnt enough for me yet youve been around perhaps a month longer and no one commented. Alas! By the way how likely do you think the Pope Joan thing is? I'd say like a 5% chance of being true... though its still possible... Redwolf24 15:09, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I've been here since Feb 8. I just stayed in the theology section until then. I would guess that a lot of the "biggies" have seen me on RC patrol and that's why they voted. You're still winning! I'll have to investigate that particular article, but Pope Joan in general is a complete myth. -- Essjay -· Talk 16:21, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Oh probably. Yeah point is I'll still have a landslide victory. Not as much as yours though, or Sango's for that matter. Redwolf24 16:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, Sango is doing really well. I just gave Pope Joan a cursory glance, but from what I saw, it's pretty accurate; it's a complete and utter myth, like Vicarius Filii Dei. Oh, and by the way, keep your commentary out of my threats against heretics; it's for me, not for you! : - ) And, one final thing, why no MSN? -- Essjay -· Talk 16:31, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hahaha I felt like "hax"ing your page. Ugh I hate those people who think they're hackers cause they blank user pages. Ah well though. The reason I'm not on MSN is cause its 9:30 AM. Normally I wake up circa 2 PM. So I don't wanna confuse my friends. Now I shall test out that signature thing. \n /n

Damnit! How do I use this extension?? Redwolf24 16:38, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, it would have been a lot easier to explain over MSN, but here it is: Go to "Tools" then "Extensions." Find the entry on the list, then click "options." That will give you a box where you can add, edit, delete, etc. new sigs. Go to your welcome, copy it, then paste it into the "new sig" box, give it a name, and click "save". Lather, rinse, and repeat. ; - ) And if you need more help, find me on MSN, so we don't have to play tag. -- Essjay -· Talk 16:51, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the idea!

I hope you don't mind, but I put the same blue link with the "leave me a message" on my talk page. I'll vote for you to be an admn. to make it up to you. :) Horatii/Dbraceyrules 17:41, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Don't thank him; he stole it from somebody who stole it from somebody! Theft of userpage features is the most common crime on Wikipedia, and the ony punnishment is to slap you on the wrist if you forget to change the code to point to your userpage. (Speaking of that, make sure you change Redwolf24 in the code to Dbraceyrules.) ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 18:17, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Haha I've given this table to lke 10 people as a gift. But this guy just outright stole it from me :O Nah I don't mind at all :) Redwolf24 21:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mine as well tell you too

My brother marijuanaisbad, died in a car accident a few days ago. This is the first time I have been on since. You know the thing on the administrator incidents, will you take it down, I don't want to be able to see that you think my brother was too messed up to be able to be on wikipedia. Iamzodyourzodeveryzod 22:47, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

My condolences. I didn't post it, find the person who did. Redwolf24 22:49, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] eh

I want to tell you I lied, I always lie, I'm nothing but a swindler. I'm sorry, I'm such a liar. My life has completely gone to hell. I can't do anything, anymore. I'm done with my life, since I've ruined so many others. Iamzodyourzodeveryzod

Zod I can't completely blame you for venting some vandalism. However if you wanna do that just go to Uncyclopedia where vandalism is often welcome. However please don't play on sympathies you may anger some wikipedians. Heed my advice, Redwolf24 04:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Hey! I too like messages. Hosterweis 06:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Ha, I'll be sure to leave you one if I see you around. Good to see you signing with the ~'s. Redwolf24 06:09, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello from Wikipedia Username

Thanks for the help message. Wikipedia Username 06:14, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

No prob. Good to see you using the tildes, by the way, great user name... Redwolf24 06:15, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

All I really can do is contribute things about music, since other things that I know are already done. Yeah I know the user name is very "creative" and "original". Wikipedia Username 06:21, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah we really need all the help we can get on music related articles... Redwolf24 06:24, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Protestant Church of Wikipedia

Hey Red: Just letting you know, that in an abuse of my admin powers, I deleted Wikipedia:Protestant Church of Wikipedia and moved my "WikiCult" page there directly. Even though it was my creation and I couldn't care less whether anyone knows that, I didn't want there to be GFDL issues with not having the page history. Great idea though, but I wouldn't be suprised if it ends up at VfD. -- Essjay -· Talk 14:25, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hey hey hey it wont go to VfD as its like 4 times as long as the church its in opposition to. As for the moving thing, you may wanna clean the talk page... Redwolf24 14:32, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you already did! -- Essjay -· Talk 14:59, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Oh by the way I got FireFox now. (No I did not have it before). I love this tabbed browsing I must say though this font takes some getting used to. Redwolf24 14:51, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Isn't it great! You can go into the settings and change the font. Make sure you get the sig extension! -- Essjay -· Talk 14:59, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Ahem... could you gimme that link once more? Redwolf24 15:03, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

No prob: here. -- Essjay -· Talk 16:24, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your age

Hi, Redwolf (NO {{PAGENAME}} THIS TIME!). I've replied at my talk page. (I REPEAT: NO {{PAGENAME}}) :) Sango123 16:27, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Redwolf24/Archive05 You could've at least used Subst:Pagename :P Redwolf24 16:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks.

Thank you a lot for your warm welcome, I have been active on NS.Wikipedia, (See my main article: Sozy) so I already know some basics of wiki editing.

I just edited some information about my village of birth, Sleen, which was (sadly) pretty much a blank page. Which raises my question, do you think this is still a stub, considering it is just some information about a small village?

Sozy 17:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)Sozy

That is DEFINATELY not a stub. Well done!! Redwolf24 17:24, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh you may wanna turn those images into thumbs though. Redwolf24 (Talk) 17:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

I am very interested in becoming an administrator. What would yo reccomend I do to achieve this goal? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anonymous0513 (talk • contribs) 18:02, July 21, 2005.

To become an administrator, nominate yourself at RfA. HOWEVER as you are now you will be shot down by voters. Do NOT nominate yourself til you get about 2000 edits. People can be quite mean. Redwolf24 18:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Allow me to elaborate: To become an administrator, keep making good, valuable edits to articles. Make some friends, fight some vandals, work your way up. Vote in a few VfD's, a few RfA's, and give the Wikipedia: namespace a try. When you've been here for three or four months, made a couple thousand edits, and generally established yourself in the community, you can nominate yourself, if someone else doesn't nominate you first. Be sure that you understand how the site works, and be sure the admin tools would be helpful in what you do. Once you've done this, you'll have a good chance of being promoted. -- Essjay -· Talk 18:10, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Album boxes.

I noticed your contributions to The Long Road. Thanks for digging up the info---what may make your job easier in future is using Template:Album infobox. (Info is available over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums.) If you look at the article now, you can see that the syntax is smaller, can be styled by changing a single template, and is a lot more readable. Happy editing! grendel|khan 19:01, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Nah I prefer my version. It looks better in my opinion. Plus I'm not doing the syntax I'm just typing {{Subst:User:Redwolf24/Albumtable}} Redwolf24 19:03, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

It's not really a preference thing; there's a WikiProject, with its own policies, which you're perfectly free to discuss, but this way, you're making unnecessary work for the folks who came up with the Album infobox style. (There's also an empty template available for convenient copying and pasting up on that talk page.) grendel|khan 19:38, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Alright. Nice to see your oppose vote at my RfA and nice to see you uploaded a new image to wikipedia on The Long Road. Now we gotta delete the old one. Redwolf24 19:43, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

The old one's already listed on WP:IFD. Nothing personal about the oppose vote---I think you could use more time to get acclimated to the traditions and pseudo-policies that have grown up around here. I know you're a shoo-in, but I may as well have my say. grendel|khan 19:58, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Any reason though for replacing my image which is not only older than yours, its the exact same image? Same pixels and all. Redwolf24 19:59, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator

Just wanted to know that I was glad to support you on being an adm. Hope you get it. I also decided to drop in a barnstar, because you are an extremely kind editor. Horatii/Dbraceyrules 19:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm honored. As for my RfA, no worries I'm a shoe in :) Thanks for that award I'll add it to User:Redwolf24/Awards. Redwolf24 (Talk) 19:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

This is the kid that three days ago was telling me I was being cocky for prepping an "I'm an administrator, here's how to contact me" section for my userpage! HYPOCRITE! ; - ) -- Essjay -· Talk 19:15, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Gasp! Redwolf24 (Talk) 19:17, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
