[edit] Rudget!

Dear Malinaccier, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 15:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations and good luck! Malinaccier Public (talk) 12:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] no vandalism here

Hello

I'm attempting to remove an inappropriate poem added within the last few days which constitutes vandalism under WP:Vandalism. I also added a topic to the Talk Page to bring it into discussion there per WP Policy. I originally deleted it as a mistake rather than undoing it..which is why I undid my first edit, so that I could then use the undo in the history. It was then my intention to cite my reasons but you began reverting me while I was in the process.

Reason for removal cited as WP:Vandalism "The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, or the insertion of nonsense into articles."

Please check my contributions and you will see that I'm no vandal Berean Hunter (talk) 23:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Malinaccier (talk) 00:33, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hah! That smiley is nifty and feels good to get it so here is to sharing it back!

I had started to think on my end that you were the poet...

Thank you for helping me..I'm still learning & trying to improve as an editor.

Cheers Berean Hunter (talk) 00:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your RFA

Has been created. See Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Malinaccier. Remember to transclude it in the main page when you are done answering the questions. Good luck! bibliomaniac15 00:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you should wait and adjust the date when he does to be seven days after his addition of the co-nom. bibliomaniac15 00:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

That was probably my fastest support! :) Rudget. 14:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hey there, I'm writing to inform you that I have withdrawn my request for adminship, which was currently standing at 11 supports, 22 opposes and 6 neutrals. This count could have been so much better if I had understood policy, although I believe that 17 questions is a lot to ask of a user's first RfA. I will take on all comments given at the RfA and will endeavour to meet the high expectations of the RfA voters. WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDENplay it cool. 21:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, maybe in a few months? Malinaccier (talk) 17:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Reversion
For reverting so many unhelpful edits and vandalism on Wikipedia I User Swirlex award you this Barnstar.

[edit] Need the administrator's help

Hello. I thank you for welcoming me to the site but I need your help: Please look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Liberation_Tigers_of_Tamil_Eelam#Introduction

I am very distressed about the situation. There are some editor refusing to back down and making us have "resistance movement" in the article about Tamil tigers. I have said many times that this is unfair as my friends were hurt in LTTE bombing and that if anyone tried to do this on article about Al Qaeda it would be reverted straight away if they said AQ was a "resistance movement". Just because fewer people are aware of the action of LTTE doesn't mean that this sympathising to terrorist attitude should be allowed on LTTE article just as it isn't on 9/11 and AQ. Please help Ismailmk (talk) 13:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I replied on your talk page. Malinaccier Public (talk) 13:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support, my request for adminship passed 60/0/0 yesterday!

I want to thank Mrs.EasterBunny and Royalbroil for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. To paraphrase a president ... I wish my mum and dad could see the comments made. My dad would be so proud to see the comments ... and my mum would have believed them". I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and you may be surprised to find that I have not deleted all of the pages by accident..... yet).

Thanks again, Victuallers (talk) 20:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thank-spam

Malinaccier/Archive 5, I wish to tender my sincere thanks for your support in my successful request for adminship, which ended with 37 supports, 2 opposes, and 2 neutral. The results of the RfA are extremely bittersweet because of the recent departure of my nominator, Rudget. Hopefully I can live up to his and your expectations. I would especially like to thank Epbr123 and TomStar81 for mentioning that they were preparing to offer me a nomination. The past week has been one of the most stressful weeks in my life, and I appreciate your vote of confidence in me. If you ever need anything, just get in touch. -MBK004 21:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for your support at my request for adminship, which passed today with 42/0/0!

I would like to thank Wizardman for nominating me, Malinaccier/Archive 5 and everyone else for their support and comments. I'll continue with contributing to the encyclopedia's content (hopefully writing an FA here and there :) and will help out with admin-related tasks which you just entrusted me with. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks again, —dima/talk/ 01:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


You're welcome. Good luck with the mop. Malinaccier (talk) 01:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You are now an administrator

Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WjBscribe 15:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Good luck to you. If you doubt it, ask it. If you know it, do it!. Enjoy the buttons - Keeper | 76 16:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
Malinaccier/Archive 5, thank you for showing your support in my RFA which passed with 38 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral! I also want to give special thanks to my Admin Coach and nominator, Useight for all of his help and support. I promise that I'll give my best effort as an admin, and I hope that your confidence in me proves to be justified. If I can ever be of any help, please let me know. In the mean time, I have some cleaning to do.

Have a great day! Jauerbackdude?/dude. 20:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] my RfA

Thanks for participating in my RfA!
Although it failed 43/27/0, I'm happy because the outcome has been very helpful in many meaningful ways. Your support and remarks contributed so much to this. If you followed my RfA you know what happened. Most of the editors who posted opposing opinions have never edited with me. Some articles I edit deal with controversial topics and with respect to a very few of these, editors who didn't know much about me had some worries about confrontational editing and civility. Since I support their high standards I can easily (and will gladly) address this. The support and ecouragement to run again soon has been outstanding, thanks again. Cheers! Gwen Gale (talk) 05:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, maybe next time. Malinaccier (talk) 02:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
