userpage
I was reading your userpage, specifically the userboxes. I feel compelled to point out some errors. "This user edits without fancy weapons, or tools and he's proud of it!" That's not true! You have two "This space for rent" userboxes. "This user is scared of cockaroaches" - spelled wrong. "This user asks other fellow pirates not to rob him, its not nice" - Should be it's.

Your RFA
I thought that you would be doing a lot better. You are a really good editer and vandal fighter. I heard that this was your 3rd RFA, is that true?--RyRy5 talk 17:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is his 3rd RfA. He had two under a previous name. MFC, I just wanted to say that the oppose by Friday was rather immature, as some have commented. Enigma msg! 17:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- I thought the same thing. I am proud to be the first there to disagree with what he said about how kids can't be admins. - DiligentTerrier and friends 21:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's not right to say anyway. What matters is your experience, not your age.--RyRy5 talk 03:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nah. Experience is good, but it's not the main thing. The main thing is whether you have the maturity and decision-making capability to be an admin. Age is irrelevant, and like I commented, opposed because of someone's age is borderline violating NPA. If someone is actually immature, I'm sure you can find evidence without having to say they're too young to be admin. Enigma message 03:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the future of AWC
After your RFA is over, we need to talk about your role with WP:AWC. I hope you wouldn't mind if you took an increased role in the project, as I have been shouldering much of it myself and I find that it's taking away from my other wiki-duties (like the other Wikipedia projects I am part of, or the mountain of administrative work I usually do.... and, you know, improving articles themselves). As I discussed with Transhumanist before his extended Wikibreak/hiatus, I see a much more vibrant, much more active AWC in the near future. However, in order to make something like that happen, I'm going to need help. Of course, you shouldn't worry about it now, as your RFA is your top priority. It's just something to think about. --Sharkface217 02:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- And speaking of AWC, I finished with Ulrich Giezendanner. --Sharkface217 02:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm glad to have you on board. I'm going to be, among other things, expanding and cleaning up AWC over the next few weeks/months. With the newsletter, I wish to generate some publicity for the project and build it's user base up from about only five or so dedicated members that currently contribute the majority to the page. The best I can hope for is a fully autonomous system in which dozens (or more) people post and complete challenges. While it is true that it needs janitors, the job of babysitting any project is tedious and while I don't want it to fall into disrepair like WP:ACID, I would much rather have it more a huge, community-wide collaborative effort similar to WP:MILITARY. Right now the newsletter needs to get up (which we're making great headway with), more challenges need to be sponsored by someone other than myself (see my talk page for AndonicO's warning), and the project itself needs to be brought to a wider audience. I think we're doing well so far, but as of now WP:AWC is still too reliant on its small group of dedicated members. --Sharkface217 02:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also, don't forget about Ulrich Giezendanner. --Sharkface217 00:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Using citations
Hi there. Based on some edits of yours that I noticed on my watchlist, I recommend that you study WP:FN#Naming a ref tag so it can be used more than once. Because an edit like this will always become inaccurate if another Wikipedian adds a new <ref> tag in the first sentence or paragraph of any article. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have another recommendation: If you are using a book or publication with multiple pages like Sandler's Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams Super Bowl XXXIV for Super Bowl XXXIV or the Super Bowl XXXIX Game Program for Super Bowl XXXIX, you might want to use the technique that is described on WP:CITE#Shortened notes. An example can be found on the current FA Stanley Cup, where among the items listed in its References section are a few books, but its Notes section lists a ref tag for each single page used by those books. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- Haha - there's a bottom template? I guess I don't know as much about closing RfAs as I thought I did. Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 22:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Commiserations about your RfA—it was rather unfortunate. I realise that I supported, but in hindsight, there's loads of work you could do in addition, if you're really eager, such as admin' coaching, if you're not already enrolled, or what not. Otherwise, happy editing, and thanks for offering yourself up. Regards, Anthøny 22:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

You withdrew your RfA? Also, I disagree with you when you said that Kijafa is a "bad article." I believe that there is no bad article on Wikipedia. I'm working on the Kijafa thing. I think it needs more that just 1-2 major edits to get out of stub category. Basketball110 23:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Talk Page
As far as I can tell, it is working...? It's set to put your TOC in a scroll box when it gets longer than the archive list. Since it's currently not longer than the archive list, there's no scroll bar. I just previewed your talk page with about a zillion headers tacked on the bottom and it seemed to be working fine. Hersfold (t/a/c) 02:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I really don't see what's wrong with it - it's displaying fine on my screen. What resolution is your monitor set to? Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
-
- Oh. Ok. I see now. Um.... the only way to fix that would be to mess with your archive images - which would mean further messing with all the corresponding shapes, which could take forever. I also have very little experience with imagemaps. I might be able to rearrange your page to give the TOC enough room to work, but it'll likely mean putting the archives one on top of the other. Would that work? Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- No. The images are a fixed width, and having both of them and the TOC lined up side-to-side (in any order) forces the TOC to get cramped out of existence. I've just tried some creative coding, and I'm not getting anything to work except putting the archives on top of one another. Take a look at my sandbox and see if you like that layout. Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
-
-
-
- Ok, it's done. It might look a bit odd if your talk page is kinda short, but it's better than having your TOC be useless. :-) Hersfold (t/a/c) 00:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

{{copyedit}}\n with nothing. jj137 (talk) 21:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
