RfA thanks
Thank you...
...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.
In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.
By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.
Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.
This RfA thanks inspired by Kathryn McDinaha's, in turn inspired by several others after Phaedriels' original. Hoping we can all keep such inspiration of newcomers ongoing, I am, sincerely, John Carter (talk).

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout! Cheers!

Thanks for !voting!
Thank you for !voting in my RfA which resulted in the collapse of civilization with 92 (94?) support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral.
Blame jc37 and Hiding for nominating me, everyone who had questions or comments, everyone who !voted, everyone who tallied the numbers correctly, and WJBScribe who closed
without shouting, "No mop for you!"
Seriously, your response has overwhelmed me.
I am deeply grateful.

re: Barbara Howard, RCA
Hi Katalaveno,
Thanks for correcting my error and for the friendly welcome. I have a couple of questions:
- when someone, like yourself, posts a message on my usertalk page, is there a simply way to reply (as with email) or do I have to go to your usertalk page and start a new topic?
- there was already another Barbara Howard listed on Wikipedia (an actress), so when I started my new article (Barbara Howard, RCA), I had to find a way of differentiating her from the other one, so I added her professional letters after her name. However, if anyone is looking for information on Barbara Howard (the artist) and they type “Barbara Howard” in the search box, they will only find the actress. Is there a recognized way of handling articles on two people with the same name?
Thanks,

Mediawiki server
You run my mediawiki server in your organization! Speaking of which, I have to come back sometime and update it to 1.11.1.... so.... it'll be secure and you won't have to worry :)
