[edit] Joseph BorovskyHi. In regards to your comment on my bd-bio tag, I initially did a Google Test on Joseph Borovsky which failed miserably. However, when combined with the phrase physics it did in fact return many hits, and so I will be reviewing the article in that context. Thanks for the feedback.Revpfil 00:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] =RfASince you mentioned it previously, I thought I would let you know that I have been nominated. Feel free to comment if you would like Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Irishguy. Thanks. IrishGuy talk 22:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC) [edit] ThanksIt's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page or indef-block Jimbo - 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 07:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC) I'm also glad you found my comments at your RfA constructive. If you are considering running in the future, I would probably support. All the best, – riana_dzasta 07:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC) [edit] Is this users actions allowed?

[edit] Leaving the NestThank you. I am willing to "leave the nest" and navigate the broad waters but would like to be able to call upon you for assistance and questions should the need arise. You have been very helpful and I wouldn't want to carelessly jettison you as was done to the forests in "Silent Running".Canticle 03:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Dear AnthonyI read your comment on the Goebbels' discussion page concerning the pictures where you stated that your opinion might not be worth a great deal, just thought I should mention that it clearly is as you have contributed to the article alot, both by making edits and conferring with adam about the Doctor.Gavin Scott 20:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Edit questionI was wondering if an edit like this is appropriate. I am going to remove it since it is about the character and not the actor, and because it is about some future event that has not yet happened. If you would let me know if that is wrong, I would appreciate it! Thanks. -- Whereizben - Chat with me - My Contributions 20:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] My RfAIn reply for your note on my talk page: I did not submit word for word, my failed RfA last month. If you check the history of that page, you will find that I have change everything. I simply followed the intruction on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nominate. I simply type my username in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ USERNAME. KGV 05:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Phillip mccaffertyI have removed the db bio tag due to one clause in the reason, that I may remove it with intent to fix the article. I believe it is a reasonably important figure, especially with some of the credits, and the main reason for removal is due to badly written article etc. I am wikifying the article etc, if you feel that even rewritten and wikified this would qualify, then leave message on my talk page. Thanks, TheFearow 22:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
No, me either. It was my misunderstanding, and ill revert back to the DB-BIO tag if you haven't already. I misread part of the policy. Sorry! TheFearow 22:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I'd rather it just went to DB, as I also misread the name. I know of a famous skateboarder called Philip, so as well as mixing up policy I mixed up names. Thats why I thought it was notable :p. I don't know enough about skateboarding, so I guess I should stick to m area of expertise. After rereading, it does seem like a unneeded article. TheFearow 22:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Thats fine, as I said above i had a big misunderstanding, i've had a bad day. Im going to stop editing (for today), ive had this and I got in trouble earlier for a misplaced DB tag. Sorry for the waste of time! TheFearow 22:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Image experienceAnthony, my general thought is that a lack of experience with images isn't a big problem. Not every admin knows every part of Wikipedia. I'd advise you to put a short note about this into your optional statement: just straightforwardly say this isn't an area you have experience in and you won't use admin tools to work on image-related issues until you learn more. Best, Gwernol 11:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Speedy deletingYeah, I know that "invention of the mind" isn't a real reason, but I couldn't think of a better one. It wasn't really db-context as there was context and it wasn't db-nonsense as it was coherent... so I couldn't think of anything better to write! What would you suggest? --Samtheboy (t/c) 23:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] AdoptionThank you for your kind offer. Yes, I'd feel bolder if I knew there was someone I could pester about whether I'm doing the right thing. Right now I'm going through the editing tutorials and policy documents. If you know of anything that should get my immediate attention, let me know. Other issues of current concern:

[edit] Mohammad Badshah Qadri-ul-Chishti Yamani RaichuriPlease read my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohammad Badshah Qadri-ul-Chishti Yamani Raichuri and see if you still believe that this article needs to be deleted. I whole-heartedly agree that it needs rewriting. For the interim, I have added the three electronic references to the article, although the last one is not very reliable. --Bejnar 04:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Name of the Prophet
Hi, just to butt in, it is customary for Muslims to write "Muhammad SAW", with the SAW standing for "Shallallahu `alaihi Wa Sallam", Arabic for "peace be upon Him". Some English language Muslim sites use PBUH as the abbreviation. When referring to the role, it is conventional to capitalise the word "Prophet".

[edit] My RfAThank you for support in my unsuccessful RfA. I appreciate the support, and am disappointed on being judged by what in most opinions seem to be the wrong things. Until next time, edit on! :) — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 03:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia:AttributionThere has been an extensive effort to combine Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research (together with much of Wikipedia:Reliable sources) into a new policy called Wikipedia:Attribution, and its FAQ, WP:ATTFAQ. Recently, on Wikipedia talk:Attribution and on the Wiki-EN-l mailing list, Jimbo questioned whether the result had adequate consensus, and requested:

Good luck on being an administrator, Dr. Bradbury! I have supported your candidacy even though I do not know you personally.HumanThing 02:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Your RfAI have to say that ever since my own RfA, I've made it a point to call out ludicrous opposition on RfA. Despite bureaucrat's best intentions, RfA is still in essence a vote and I believe that unless people make a stand against trivial opposition in RfA, we will continue to have distortions in the process. Of course in your case, it's not like that one oppose will make any sort of difference given the kind of massive support you're receiving (rightly so) but as a matter of principle... Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 18:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Joseph Goebbels - Alledged Grafitti/VandalismDear Wikipedian, i recently recieved a message from you stating that i vandalised a page on wikipedia, relating to Joseph Goebbels. i would like to state that i did not vandalise said page. i did however find vandalism myself, which was petty, giving crude sexual remarks about Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler. Apon seeing this, i deleted said comment, seeing it as unfactual, and likely vandalism in itself due to the context, layout and grammar employed. I do not wish to say that you are not doing a good job, rather the contrary, i congratulate you on your contributions to the wiki, but i wish i would not be accused of vandalism when all i was attempting to do was remove it myself. i hope i will soon recieve a reply from you.

[edit] on the adoption processHi Anthony. I've been pruning Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user and I'd like to pass along this request. Unless you have a particular reason for not doing so, please try to remember to change the user's {{adoptme}} tag to {{adoptoffer}} when you offer adoption, as this makes it easier for others to find users who have not yet been offered adoption. Thanks! And congratulations on your obviously-going-to-pass RFA. =) — coelacan — 21:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adminship.It seems your RfA has ended, and I guess you will be sysopped soon, as 108 users supported you. I want to apologize for my original oppose. After reviewing the situation, I withdrew my oppose and changed to support. Congratulations on your successful request for adminship. Acalamari 01:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your RfAI am pleased to let you know that, consensus reached, you are now an Administrator. You should find the following forums useful: Congratulations on your promotion and the best of luck with your new charge! Redux 01:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I got my reasons for leaving, but given the circumstances I may be back soon. :) But you're welcome for the support, you deserve it.--Wizardman 16:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the message concerning you RfA, I trust the people that voted for you know you well enough. I am happy for you and as a member of WP:AMA... even though we are facing possible disbandement per a WP:MfD, I would like to tell you "never hesitate" to ask for advice. There are some nasty assumptions sometimes occur when we do things that are even slightly contrary to wiki policy. Even if you are a knowlegeable user, CYA (cover your ass). I wish you the best experience in all the hard decisions you will need to make and if ever you need an advocate to help explain certain rules send me a message. Cheers. --CyclePat 01:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy:) Not shouting. See, I'm still a bloody beginner when it comes to CSD, and I'm trying to learn about all aspects involved as to whether Speedy, ProD or AfD an article. I'm sorry for the mis-tagging. —KNcyu38 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
OK, fair comment. But the cafe itself is, in reality, clearly notable. Do we really want to muck about going through AfD? I don't mind if you don't. I have no shares in the company, and have never been within 5,000 miles of the place (approximately).--Anthony.bradbury 22:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Another article I would have speedy tagged.

Could you please restore the article Berry Hill, Gloucestershire, and add the following categories at the end of the article: {{Gloucestershire-geo-stub}} [[Category:Forest of Dean]] [[Category:Villages in Gloucestershire]] I think the consensus is that Cities and villages are notable, regardless of size, according to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. When I want to verify the existence of a British town or village, I look it up at http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk, which allows me to add the town's grid reference to the article. --Eastmain 05:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
