[edit] Comment on User talk:Majorly
No worries, thanks for the clarification. Take care :o) Dan68.99.6.90 02:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Are you requesting an RfA? ~Steptrip 14:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- I was referring to this comment. ~Steptrip 14:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
-
- In that case, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll become an admin, because (as you probably already know) almost every user that Nishkid64 has nominated has been granted adminship, in addition to the fact that you have a well-rounded edit count. Btw, could you please review me (the link is the tilde in my sig)? ~Steptrip 15:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

- Oooh...email when that happens, I would be enlightened to co-nominate you. I am rather excited ! Good luck. ~ Arjun 02:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry, but be more careful before you accuse people next time
What I added was helpful and constructive, if you had read it. The picture being indicated in the section I edited had been moved up by another used, and is now above the text, not below, as I wished to correct by changing the words. Sadly, you just deleted this change without trying to assertain why it was made. If you had merely read the section in context, you would have seen that I was improving the article.
Thanks for changing the Saturn article back.

Hi AndonicO! I want to give you a Strong Support on your RfA, but you haven't actually accepted the nomination. You've answered the questions, but I need to be able to support you before I forget! Good luck!! Reywas92Talk 19:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'll accept Saturday (you can't forget that quickly, can you?). :-) · AO Talk 19:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hopefully not! I added it to my watchlist. Reywas92Talk 19:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, AdonicO. You know how I mentioned about my friend, Mackabean. Well I was wondering if it would be okay if I asked him on Saturday to vote in favor of you. I don't know if that is allowed, and if it is do you want me to do that. I know one or two more people who might vote for you. --Random Say it here! 02:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for the mistake. It won't happen again. Count me in though for when you do accept. Once again sorry.

Yo, AO. I have a bit of a problem. A friend of mine Mackabean is doing a overhaul of Subprime lending. There is one problem. He can't get the External Links, or the Sources, or the See Aslo section to come up. He has it written in code, but it won't show up. I have tryed to fix the problem but can't. We could use your help. --Random Say it here! 23:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a million. --Random Say it here! 00:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Need your support quick. There is this new editor his username is The way, the truth, and the life. I believe according to policy, because of the resemblance to a religious figure, in this case Jesus. They are discussing it here, and I need your vote.

[edit] User talk:85.140.118.228
Someone from this IP vandalized on Wiki. But please, don't block the whole IP in any case. It's not permament for user, it is owned by our local provider (and half of Russia sits behind their routers).
I just saw that warning in "messages" section and suddenly get afraid of visiting Wiki one day and discovering massive IP-ban.
PS And yeah, it REALLY wasn't me who messed with editing. =)

[edit] Bit o' help
First off, let me congradulate you on what will be a successful RFA (I know you're not supposed to count your chickens before they hatch, but unless you're caught with a dead girl or a live boy, you'll pass with a huge margin).
I come to you needing a bit of help. I have decided to change my Wikipedia signature (S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 ) after recieving complaints about it for.... years? I was wondering if you could assist me by designing an appropriate Wiki sig for me. Your new sig (with just AO) is minimalist but highlights your name, which is something I'm looking to do with my sig.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 21:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA
That sounds good to me(your answer). I guess maybe I have learned something new along with it. That it mistakes on that area from anyone from time to time is OK. I have recently went off the deep end, but have since then not only learned to assume good faith, I encoarge it, now. I am making efforts in that, and it looks like you are too, a required trait in administrators to demonstrate. Good luck on your RfA.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 20:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of vandalism counter
I see that you removed the vandalism counter after the comment in your RFA. I tried to follow the reasoning, but I found the Meatball wiki reference to be nearly incomprehensible. My feeling is that the counter discourages user page vandalism by sending the message that vandalism is fleeting and merely results in another blip on the counter. However, if there is valid reasoning that the counter encourages or feeds vandalism, then I would like to know about it.--Kubigula (talk) 21:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- To let you know, I agree with Kubigula and believe that you should replace it, (I.E., not give in to silly demands at RFA). However, it is your choice. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Blocking request for 198.86.93.217
I did not block the user, since it wasn't clear they actually saw the final warning. If they vandalize again, then report them. wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 13:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship
I must say, I am very confuzzled as to why you aren't an administrator, especially since you express interest on your userpage. I don't know if you've filed an RfA before, but I think it's safe to say you would pass with flying colors. From what I can tell, you want to be an administrator, you'd make a good administrator, and others would want you to be an administrator. So, unless I am missing something here, I'd like to file an RfA on your behalf. Get back to me with an answer if you're interested. Thanks! --Hojimachongtalk 14:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Novels WikiProject
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}. - The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry I was inactive during your rfa, but I recently noticed an error at the bottom of your rfa. I have posted it at the bottom of your rfa's talk page. There is a pink "did not succeed" tab at the bottom when I know it actually did pass. This might cause problems and confuse users. Please let someone fix it if possible, although I wouldn't be surprised if it already had. Thanks. PS. Congradulations on your thing, although I haven't yet said that to anyone before this especially ones I didn't vote in and I guess you could say that I think that I am saying this because that's the name of the section, bye I will go see if there's something to edit. – AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx)(+sign here+How's my editing?) 20:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:GAYroute™
You said: "GAYroute told me by e-mail that he would change his username (I've explained WP:USERNAME to him) if I unblocked him. I hadn't seen you had denied the request for unblock (don't believe you had done it yet), so I unblocked, provided that he change his name. Is this alright? (I'm still a new admin, so I'm not too sure if I'm doing things correctly.)"
- Absolutely, not a problem. I didn't block him initially, of course, but my only complaint was his username. --Yamla 15:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clearing stale reports from WP:AIV
I noticed you commented on one report on AIV, to leave up for a while to see if they remain active. While this is standard practice, notice that this particular user had not edited in over 8 hours, so there is no point in leaving the report up. Stale reports like these should just be cleared. The report in question was:
- UNC related pages. Please check history of IP address to confirm. Ebtunc2006 16:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Continued vandalism to

[edit] Response
Well, they did get an "only warning" earlier, not today but within the past couple of weeks. Also, it's a school IP. I feel very strongly (and have not been disagreed with so far) that we ought to respond liberally with blocks in the case of school-related vandalism: the real danger there is that vandalism will catch on and become a fun thing to do in the student culture, and then it becomes much harder to control. Also, since it won't be anyone's only point of access, it doesn't prevent people from editing under accounts they create at home. Mangojuicetalk 16:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] You're Welcome.
You are very welcome. :) I was glad to support you. Acalamari 18:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- Seconded - you'll do great ;) take care ~ Anthony 18:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for your note
Thank you for your note on my talkpage. In retrospect I think you got a bit of a rough deal from me- you're certainly not the first to be hit hard for such discussions of their RfA and thinking about it I think you were placed in an ackward position by the comment you were replying to. I hope you'll see with experience how the accasional well-judged use of WP:IAR is necessary to keep this community going (and keep it from slidding down the precipice of bureaucracy on which it seems to be precariously perched). You seem like a really nice guy and my comments where overwhelmingly in a minority. I hope you come to enjoy being an admin. The main reason I dropped by was that I wanted to make it clear that the fact I did not support you in your RfA doesn't not mean that you don't have my support as an administrator. If there's ever anything I can help you with, please do get in touch. Best wishes, WjBscribe 19:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Decision not to block
Hi, can you please help me understand your decision not to block User:68.213.100.138? The IP has received the full spectrum of warnings in the past, as recently as April 23, culminating in a block. Are all four required every time a block is removed? (I understand that multiple people can use an IP address, but in this case the edits are to the same small set of articles.) Not looking to overturn your decision, just to understand policy better. Thanks! -Pete 20:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
