Hi Dave, and thank you for your supportive comments in my request for adminship! With a final tally of (109/5/1), I have been entrusted with adminship. It's been several weeks since the conclusion of the process, so hopefully you've had a chance to see me in action. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again, and I will do everything I can to justify the trust you've placed in me! ++Lar: t/c 03:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

		Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
		Hi Davewild, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VS talk 00:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Davewild. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello!, I saw your add in "Rulers of Morocco", and if you can put all rullers in Morocco, you need write the Roman Emperators after Claudio and kings of Mauretania, as well as Republic of Bou Drough, and Imanate of Sus, and a few Portugueses cities and oasis of Figuig (this oasis acording to its municipality web, was part of Otoman Empire).... ok?

I read the additional link that you placed and I was wondering something. If he created the character to get the attention of that friend, as the link says, and if you can find a few other links, then you could probably expand a new section on why the character was created, put that information in, and the character becomes more notable than just an in-universe fictional character.

Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk 02:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your support at my recent Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Angus Lepper RfA, which failed, with no consensus to promote me. However, I appreciate the concerns raised during the course of the discussion (most notably, a lack of experience, particularly in admin-heavy areas such as XfDs and policy discussions) and will attempt to address these before possibly standing again in several months time.

Thank you for taking the time to participate at the discussion in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project. I listened carefully to all concerns, and will do my best to incorporate all of the constructive advice that I received, into my future actions on Wikipedia. If you can think of any other ways that I can further improve, please let me know. Best wishes, Elonka 05:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barrow-in-Furness local elections

Hi Davewild, thanks for adding references to the Barrow-in-Furness local elections pages (so soon after I flagged it!) I writing to offer my help if you need to bring references up to the style guideline's requirement as described in WP:CITE. There's no right way of doing it, you can either use Harvard or the inline system, that's your call, but they do need to be full (i.e Who wrote it, when it was written, where it can be found...) There's some easy to use templates at WP:CIT. Also there's a neat utility at this page where you just need to cut and paste the URL, add some info and, hey presto, it generates it for you. Anyway, drop me a line if you need any help Ki | jog 15:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Portsmouth Council election 2006, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Portsmouth Council election 2004. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

[edit] Ryedale Council election 1999

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Ryedale Council election 1999, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Rjd0060 17:27, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Kimble

Thanks for the head's up - I have listed it at AFD. The initial prod wasn't contested, realistically, it was removed by a somewhat "odd" change of the page to a redirect - so the actual issue of the first prod was never dealt with. I had assumed since this was the case that an additional prod would not be out of place. SkierRMH 22:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated Vandalism

Regarding anon-user 194.242.159.218, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:194.242.159.218#September_2007, you gave him his last warning at 19:20 September 7, he has persisted vandalizing: From his history:

19:25, 7 September 2007 (hist) (diff) Andorra‎ ) Both of these edits were vandalism, and have been reversed.

[edit] Malta in lists of State leaders

I notice you have been adding Malta into a number of List of State Leaders in xxxx articles. I am very dubious about Malta being in the articles you have entered it into as according to our own Malta article it became a British Dominion in 1800 not an independent state. These article are for states, while I would have thought Malta would have been better in the List of Colonial governors in 1800, etc. articles as it was a dominion at the time. Davewild 17:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

• • Thanks for your note, Dave. I see your point, but I am not sure that I agree that the lists of State leaders should not include any countries that were colonies at a particular period. A governor is not a state leader in his or her own right, but a representative of a particular monarch, or at best a viceroy. The head of state remains the monarch him or herself. Also, for students of history who might want to use these lists as a snapshot of what was happening in Europe in any given year, lists that exclude colonies fail to tell the complete story. Of course, if the WikiProject has discussed and ruled on the question of colonies, please advise, and I will remove my recent edits. However, I note that presumably the existing lists for 1795 to 1798 would also need to be revised to delete similar entries for the Colony of NSW, and there may be other examples that you might want to take a look at. Would you agree then that Malta should appear in the 1530 to 1798 lists, as a sovereign principality ruled by the Knights of Malta, then disappear from the lists until 1964, when it gained independence from the UK? lamato^(talk) 18:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, the wikiproject generally settled on putting all states that have a de facto independence into the Lists of state leaders articles. (e.g List of colonial governors in 2007 and List of state leaders in 2007. This would certainly mean that Malta between 1530 and 1798 should be on the list as the Knight Hospitallers (as I note it is on a couple of the articles already such as List of state leaders in 1747. However between 1798 and independence it would be better put on the colonies article. Putting a short note in the 1798 article explaining what happened and pointing to the colonies list seems sensible. I have already begun removing some of the New South Wales entries as they quite clearly were not states at the time. (the amount of work cleaning up these lists is huge as the project has not been very active recently!) Davewild 19:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Election titles

Hi! Just FYI, you're naming election articles slightly incorrectly: It should not be "Area council election year", but "Area council election, year"... —Nightstallion 11:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment regarding the titles of the election articles I have created. I have started moving them to the correct titles and will correct them alll over the next few days. Davewild 18:14, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
