[edit] A belated thank you

Hi there:

I just wanted to thank you for your support of my RfA last month. My nomination failed, but comments such as your “Fantastic editor” removed some of the sting.

Thank you. — DLJessup (talk) 04:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from Northenglish!

Hi there! Thank you for voting on my recent request for adminship, which did not succeed by a vote of 3/14/3. Not to worry, though; I am far from disappointed. The vast majority of the votes, even those in opposition, were quite positive. To be honest, I was not expecting it to succeed, and nominated myself on a bold spur-of-the-moment decision. Apparently, I'm not quite as experienced as I thought I was--I was sure I registered in February rather than April--but never fear! Emc² said it best: "Besides, you don't need to be a sysop to write good articles." I'll just continue doing what I'm doing, and perhaps I'll see you again in three months' time. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 03:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. __earth ^(Talk) 15:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD 8th July 2006

My Lord,

If you're still logged in, would you mind having a look at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_9? Some Newbie has parked a rant at the bottom that I'm to scared to remove myself. --die Baumfabrik 05:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Nah, it's okay now: User:Alphachimp had sorted it out by the time I returned to the page. Sorry to trouble you. --die Baumfabrik 05:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Regarding my RfA, I would like to thank you for your support. Although my RfA did not pass, I am hopeful that a future one will. I hope you will vote again when I try again. Paul Cyr 21:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for the edit to RfA. I have to plead ignorance. HpK1029

I wasn't sure how to send you a message, but I figure you can delete this when you read it.

[edit] My RfA thanks

Hello DarthVader/Archive 3, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 06:49, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support!

[edit] Pink RfA from the Dark Side!

		Thanks for contributing to my successful RfA!
		To the people who have supported my request: I appreciate the show of confidence in me and I hope I live up to your expectations! To the people who opposed the request: I'm certainly not ignoring the constructive criticism and advice you've offered. I thank you as well! ♥! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

(At least, if I go rouge, I don't have far to go, hey?) ~Kylu (u|t) 01:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] Category:Artificial satellites currently orbiting Earth

Good stuff. Does it include satellites that are no longer functioning, but are in a relatively stable orbit? --Interiot 07:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Though Category:Living people is an abnormal maintenance-only category that was actually fairly controversial, and would have been deleted if Jimbo hadn't stepped in. And we don't typically have categories like "ships still in use" or "automobiles still in production" or things like that. I'll have to think it over a bit more. I suppose if anyone has really strong objections about it, it could be discussed in CFD. But if it fails CFD, the category could just be made into a more traditional list, eg. something like List of Earth observation satellites and Timeline of artificial satellites and space probes. --Interiot 09:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you so much for voting in my recent RFA. It passed on the relatively narrow vote of 38/8/8. It was also one of the least-participated-in RFA nominations in several months, so pat yourself on the back, and join the party on your left, but first, take your cookie!

[edit] my RfA

Thanks for your support in my RfA! Unfortunately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your support was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!
Cheers! - CheNuevara 17:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Lord Vader, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve.

Request for Adminship

---

Thank you for contributing to my my request for adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a withdrawn vote count of 14/27/14, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and keeping cool under stress. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 13:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support on my RFA. The final vote count was (61/9/3), so I am now an administrator. Feel free to let me know how I'm doing at any point in time or if you need anything.

[edit] My RfA and your vote

Hello Lord Vader ;), Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page. Sincerely, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me)

[edit] My RfA

Thankyou for your participation in my RfA. Due to an almost even spread of votes between Oppose and Support (Final (16/13/6)) I have decided to withdraw for now and re-apply in a couple of months as suggested. I thank everyone for their kind support of my editorial skills; it meant a lot to me to get such strong recommendations from my fellow editors. If you ever have any hints as to how I can improve further, I would love to hear from you. Viridae^Talk 15:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You've got a Thank you card!

Open your card!

Dear James, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear James, it is great to see that the kindest "villain" on Wikipedia is doing fine and turning himself into quite a famous editor - wtg! And know that I've put this link into my watchlist... I eagerly await the time when it turns blue (just let me know if you want my modest words in it when it gets going, nothing would please me more! :) With a big hug, your friend,

Phaedriel ♥ tell me

[edit] Thank you

[edit] Goldom's RFA thanks

Thank you for your support on my RFA, which closed successfully this morning with a result of (53/2/1). I've spent the day trying out the new tools, and trying not to mess things up too badly :). I was quite thrilled with all the support, both from the people I see around every day, as well as many users who I didn't know from before, yet wrote such wonderful things about me. I look forward to helping to serve all of you, and the project. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Cyclone Catarina Thank you for voting in my RfA. I would especially like to thank those 18 people that supported me. But I'd also like to thank those that may have not voted for me, but gave me advice to make me a better wikipedian. Once again, I thank you all. Unfortunately, the final result was 18 supporters, 32 opposers, 9 nuetrals, therefore I wasn't promoted to sysop. I hope to see you vote in my next RfA in late 2006, early 2007. Hopefully you'll support me. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 15:19, 20 August 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 01:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
