[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for the congrats and the offer of help. I was actually hoping to have someone to go to with questions about the tools so I don't bungle anything up, so I'm really glad you offered. See you around! delldot | talk 00:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category

Hey, I was wondering if I could create a category page that would list all the people that I've given "newbie welcomes" to. This would help me to keep track of them better than writing them all down myself. I couldn't really find any policy about this, and I don't know if I could make such a category under my own userspace. Help me out? -- Kevin (TALK) 16:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

If you make your own welcome template then you can see to whose page you have added it by clicking on the 'what links here' link on the left-hand side of the page. Categorising is a little harder to do. (aeropagitica) 17:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Smart solution. That'll be a lot easier. Thanks. --Kevin (TALK) 18:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the revert

Thanks for the revert on my talk page. I was off reporting the user to AIV. Regards, Flyguy649 20:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tabgtofa

I saw that you gave this user two warnings within 1 minute. Is it possible that this user made the second bad edit, whatever it was, before seeing the first warning? Zbl 22:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

It's possible but who can tell in a hypothetical situation? The messagebox would have popped up as per usual. (aeropagitica) 22:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw something similar happen to a friend. One warning was sent while he edited another page, so the message didn't come up until he was done. He is now a good editor, though. Zbl 22:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I would also consider the nature of the edits - they were entirely non-encyclopedic and admin-baiting in their design and execution. I feel the block is justified. (aeropagitica) 22:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

He is blocked? I didn't see that come up. Design and execution. What does that mean? Zbl 22:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, no - my mistake. I was crossing two vandal editors in my mind whilst doing something else there, sorry. No, the block log is clear but the contributions - Make Me An Admin and You are now blocked are certainly non-encyclopedic and can't really be described as 'bad edits' even in the most charitable light. (aeropagitica) 22:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't see the contribs, as I am not an admin. Zbl 22:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC) Odd article titles, though.

I take it with your last comment that you are actually being serious and not attempting to troll me? If the editor can justify their actions as being within the aims of the project then I would me more-than-happy to listen to them. May I ask your interest in this transaction? I don't believe that this editor requires representation, if that is what you are supplying, and I also further believe that my decisions were proportionate to the nature of the edits. (aeropagitica) 22:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm serious, I just don't want a mistake to happen to another person that happened to my friend. By the way, does he violate WP:U? Zbl 22:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

There was no mistake with the vandalism warnings. The username is a secondary issue - you can recommend WP:CHU to the editor if you wish. This conversation is now closed. (aeropagitica) 22:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 216.120.198.178

216.120.198.178 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log) just vandalised Stem Cell just so you know. *cough* block him *cough* Averross (u♠t♠c)

additional vandalism on Nome (Egypt), and there are a lot of warnings on the talk page. blocking may be good right around now. thanks. -Cquan 18:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

These things are better reported at WP:AIV in case an admin has stepped away from their computer, like I had at this moment. I will look in to it now. (aeropagitica) 18:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samwell

A page recently deleted (Samwell) was remade in protest. In needs re-deleted, but the editor has requested a copy of the old page. Is that a possibility? SERSeanCrane 02:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes - just go in to the deleted edits, select the most recent version and place the text on to a user sub-page, such as User:(aeropagitica)/subpage, where 'subpage' is the article title. That should leave it free for the user to edit the text or copy it to their hard disk or other storage medium, if they prefer. (aeropagitica) 05:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi, (aeropagitica), I just wanted to thank you for your support on my RfA, which was successful with a final tally of 61/0/2. I'm very honoured by the level of trust the community has placed in me and hope my conduct as an administrator will justify this trust. If you have any comments about my use of the tools I would be glad to hear from you on my talk page. Thanks again! Heimstern Läufer 06:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_dzasta 07:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin coaching

Did User:SP-KP ever contact you about admin coaching? (see here) If not, I'm going to remove his name from the request list and free you up for a new student. Thanks, Fang Aili talk 17:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

No, I wasn't contacted as a follow-up to this. Please go ahead and assign someone else to me. Also, I am going on a Wikibreak until March 11th, so I won't be available regularly until then. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the update, and have a good Wikibreak! --Fang Aili talk 17:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I have a question

how is my article, Future articles, vandalism? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sebastian10 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

Firstly, please sign your Talk page comments with four tildes, ~~~~, as this helps editors to respond to your questions. Secondly, articles are supposed to be about notable things, people, objects, processes, events, etc. Articles are not for speculation about the future. Please read the help pages linked on the left-hand side of every page for details about making effective contributions to Wikipedia. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

My request for adminship has closed successfully (79/0/1), so it appears that I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your vote of confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. IrishGuy talk 01:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another RfA thankyou

Thankyou for supporting my RfA which ended with (47/0/0). I don't plan on deleting the main page or blocking Jimbo, but if you do think I'm misbehaving, I'm always open to recall. Thanks, James086Talk 12:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability Criteria

I don't understand your decision to delete Nick Anthis without any discussion of the issue. I would argue that the subject meets basic notability criteria, as he was featured in The New York Times and Nature Magazine, as referenced in the article, for breaking a major national news story. Although the article was, as you point out, autobiographical, this alone, according to the Wikipedia guidelines, does not automatically qualify it for deletion, especially since the article did not present any subjective information that could be influenced by a conflict of interest. Also, the article had been edited by others whom the subject has no relation to.Biochemnick 22:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to add, to bolster my case, that there is a Wikipedia article for George Deutsch, the Bush Administration appointee who Nick Anthis outed from NASA. The role of Nick Anthis is clearly detailed in that preexisting entry as well. If anything, this is an article that should have been debated, but certainly not, in my opinion, a candidate for automatic deletion.Biochemnick 22:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for your support in my recent RfA which passed unanimously - thus proving that you can indeed fool some of the people some of the time. I'm still coming to terms with the new functionality I have, but so far nothing bad has happened. As always, if there's anything you need to let me know, just drop me a line on my Talk page.

[edit] Survey Invitation

Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 01:44, 4 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another RfA thanks!

Hi, aeropagitica. Still on the RfA support-thanking trail here. And as well as your support, thanks for your kinds words too. I was very humbled by the level of support and am very much looking forward to getting into the fold (I've got CAT:CSD open in the other window! And AIV.) Thanks once again and be seeing you around. :) Bubba hotep 19:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 12:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching

Hello, I noticed that you would be free to do admin coaching as of March 11, 2007. I would like to request you as a coach. In the past I have participated in disambiguation link sorting, stub sorting, new page patrol, RC patrol, and welcoming of new users. As I have been here awhile, I feel that I have learned a great deal about the inner workings of Wikipedia, and that I am improving every day. I believe that I would make a good administrator, but I also believe that I would not want to become an admin until I have learned more about the job. If you are willing to coach me, I would greatly appreciate it, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 14:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I would like to retract my previous request, as another user has offered to coach, but thanks anyways!--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 12:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back!

Hope you had a nice break! :) Majorly (o rly?) 17:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! It was very relaxing and I just have to shake off this cold at the same time as buckling down to some proper work, where I'm paid for it and here, too! (aeropagitica) 17:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers.

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process.

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you. The Transhumanist    03:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching

Hi. I saw that you were free to do admin coaching, and I'd like to request you as a coach. Generally I revert vandalism, and I've been hanging around AFD and TFD discussions a lot more, as well as welcoming new users as I see them. I'd like to be an administrator when I believe I'm ready- a few months, maybe? But I'd like to know more about adminship through the admin coaching program before I submit an RFA. Interested in coaching me? Cheers- CattleGirl talk | sign! 07:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching

Could you possibly coach me?Sethdoe92 21:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trouble moving article

The article 5-MeO-DIPT is actually the incorrect name of the drug. The actual name is 5-MeO-DiPT, with a lowercase "i". Evidence for this is seen in the article itself. I know this is a small typo, but it should still be fixed all the same. The trouble that I'm having is that the article labeled "5-MeO-DiPT" is a redirect to 5-MeO-DIPT. This prohibits me from making the page move. Talk to me if you have any more questions. Thanks! -- Kevin (TALK)(MUSIC) 21:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Considered for deletion for the second time

Hello, BitTorrent_index_comparison had a “keep” resolution tag put on it. Is this correct or was it an oversight that it was grouped on the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_software page? Please post a reply on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/BitTorrent_index_comparison. Thanks --Tim 04:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin Coaching

Hello. I would like to become an admin someday and was wondering if you could be my coach since you have no students. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hmrox (talk • contribs) 02:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Thank you for your support on my Request for Administration

I'm happy to say that thanks in part to your support, my RfA passed with a unanimous score of 40/0/0. I solemnly swear to use these shiny new tools with honour and insanity integrity. --Wafulz 15:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Impossible Quiz

I've recently played a game called "the impossible quiz" and thought whether there was a Wikipedia article about it (I don't think it's notable enough though) when I came across this. It seems that you dismissed that page as "nonsence." Can you please tell me the page's content when you deleted it? --The preceding comment was signed by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs) 08:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rebekah Del Rio - ERASE

hi! subject: on speedy deletion and notability of article regarding Rebekah Del Rio and her voice

1. i have not much of an idea of the problem you raised (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Del_Rio).

2. i didn't mean to disturb anyone. I read your msg (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Emenenus&redirect=no) and hastily tried to delete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Del_Rio. I haven't succeded. i don't know how to do it. if someone can, please delete (speedily or/and hastily) the article mentioned above. or write me a msg (preferably to emenus@gmail.com) about the specs involved, and i'll delete it myself. if i can.

3. i don't understand the fact, how this pedia is broken up to categories (biographies & such, or way worse - in languages - my 1st lang is HUN, but i consider the fact of serching 2 or more Dbases for a def tiresome). anyway, when i 1st heard of Rebekah Del Rio i fired up my opera, locked on to http://en.wikipedia.org/ and searched for a descrition/article regarding her voice. found none. well i signed in to wiki, and made one. it was tedious. but i said to myself, she deserves it. it took me half a day. and i know this. tomorrow some 15yro kid will insert his dad's mullholand dr dvd into the player, watch it, press pause after rebekah's performance, turn to http://en.wikipedia.org/ for some answers regarding her, and boom: none!

lastily. please someone who has a clue, delete the Rebekah_Del_Rio post, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emenenus, and this (this right here) post/comment. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience i caused. bye wiki, i'll never-ever use you again. i swear. YT Mike NOT Nichols 12:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] account removal

I am requesting my account to be deleted. I no longer wish to be a member of Wikipedia. I want my user/talk pages to be removed. I am asserting my, "right to vanish" as stated in Wikipedia's policy on account removals.Dariush4444 20:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
