[edit] My RfA

Hi DukeOfDuchessStreet. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) taking the time to participate in my RfA, which was successful. I regret that I was unable to earn your support at this time, but I respect that you gave due consideration to your comments. You can be assured I have taken your concerns seriously and will bear them in mind in future. Though I can't promise I'll change my moral perspective, I can assure you I'll continue to provide full reasoning for any decision I make here at WP, with the sole aim of bettering the project. Please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error in future. Many thanks once again. Yours, Rockpocket 08:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your input!

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 13:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dalbury's RfA

My RfA passed with a tally of 71/1/0. Thank you very much for your support. I hope that my performance as an admin will not disappoint you. Please let me know if you see me doing anything inappropriate. -- Donald Albury 10:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] [Statement of gratitude]

[Unique statement of excitement]!

[Your username name, not subst:ed properly], [statement of gratitude] for [your specific vote] in [link to request for adminship], which passed with a final tally of [final tally][percent in parentheses (optional)]. I plan to [statement of intentions regarding admin tools] and [statement acknowledging oppose votes as helpful]. If you [type of desire for help] or want to provide any [type of feedback], feel free to [link to talk page or e-mail]. [Statement of gratitude, again (optional)] [signature of new admin]

Because people often complain that RfA thank-you messages are impersonal, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to create your own. -- tariqabjotu 05:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monobook.rs

my monobook.rs is a mess. Is there a way I can link to someone else's or can someone help me fix mine? --Duke of Duchess Street 03:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Have you tried erasing what is there? That should fix it. (and I might be able to help you do whatever you want to do) X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:05, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Here's my code, I have popups and "Revert tools" installed. Which pages do you want in there?
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Revert tools&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>')

// Script from Revert tools.js document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'

            + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Revert tools.js' 
            + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s">');

// User:Lupin/popups.js

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'

            + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
            + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupThumbAction="sizetoggle"; popupRedlinkRemoval=true; popupFixDabs=true; popupStructure='original';

You should be able to just copy and paste that. This gave me a lot of trouble the first 20 times I did it! X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Looks good to me! For revert toos to work you need to be on a diff page. Do the popups work for you? You just have to roll over a link. Any other scripts you want to install? X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

See what happens if you delete the last line, popupThumbAction="sizetoggle"; popupRedlinkRemoval=true; popupFixDabs=true; popupStructure='original'; X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

This should fix it!!

{{subst:Revert tools}}{{subst:navpop}}

Replace the entire page with that. Foolproof! X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Make a space? 04:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Instruction page is at [1] X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:58, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] No. 1 Line

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article No. 1 Line, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. I have added this info to your talk page, since you contributed to this article. Regards, Kai A. Simon 20:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Melissa Guille

Thanks for the email. I thought the WP:SALTing of Melissa Guille would last for months. My reversion to Canadian Heritage Alliance now looks rather silly, even without the dumb spelling error in the edit summary. Feel free to revert me if (when!) I again stuff up like that.

I was going to revert my edit, but instead I've created Melissa Guille as a redirect to Canadian Heritage Alliance. I suspect it will become easy to write a real article about her once the CHRT case against her gets some coverage in the mainstream media. Cheers, CWC 06:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gaucher's disease

Please consult WP:NC. "Disease" is not a proper name, and Wikipedia consistently uses lowercase. JFW | T@lk 01:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deletion review of List of Philippine Presidents by longevity

I've asked for a deletion review of List of Philippine Presidents by longevity. Since you participated in the deletion discussion for this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -Fagles 20:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!
