[edit] A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

WikiThanks

I'd like to thank you Singopo for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Wikipedia more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Halo's RfA

Singopo...
Thank you very much for the constructive criticism in your oppose comment in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your coments. I will strive to better myself in all areas, especially Mainspace.

[edit] Re:My RfA

I added this response to the oppose vote that David D. posted on my RfA.

"I did calm down problems. What McGinnly quoted on his talk page was the first edit I made. I ended up changing that a bit after I had cooled down a bit. I even repeatedly apologized on McGinnly's talk page, and I went as far as re-answering his question. We have resolved our conflict. Apparently, people may not have seen this yet (and I would understand why), but if people had seen it, they would have seen how that I avoided a potentially huge conflict by eventually resolving it in due time. 6 of these oppose votes came as a result of the comment I left on McGinnly's talk page the first time, and people haven't checked to see how I tried to make amends for my behavior."

I just want to tell you that this was an anomaly in my behavior, and that McGinnly took my comment out of context. I had reformed my edit, and I even repeatedly apologized to McGinnly and I have gone as far as making amends for my behavior.

Although you may think negatively of me still, I would appreciate it if you re-consider your vote on my RfA (even though, it looks like it will close later today).

[edit] Nishkid64's RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA, which closed successfully earlier today with a result of (60/9/4). Although, I encountered a few problems in my RfA, I have peacefully resolved my conflicts and made amends with the people involved. If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free talk to me. I hope I will live up to your expectations. --Nishkid64 22:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAS Premier League

I've noticed you have linked reference to the FAS Premier League to the S.League. This seems illogical as the FAS Premier is clearly a different league to the S.League and as such they needs to be separate. Perhaps your interest in this area could have you create a separate page for the FAS Premier League... Hack 12:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop Fucking with my football pages!

Insertformulahere

Stop using the phrase enters a team in... in my football articles!!! It sounds redundant and phathetic!!! Go do something else! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthew Timbang (talk • contribs) 15:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] My apologies. My irrational behaviour is due Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Blackburn.

Yes, that's is my reason for the irational behaviour whether you like it or not. It may be a lame excuse, but you have to accept it. Liverpool fans are a very emotional people. I apologize to you for any offensive remarks I made to you. Sorry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthew Timbang (talk • contribs) 03:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Sarawak is known as the Kenyalangs now. Why did you delete this?

Sarawak is known as the Kenyalang now. Go check the fansites! Why did you delete this? You are a Singoporean who thinks that you are so smart. You don't know anything about Malaysian football. Why don't you go improve the Singaporean football clubs articles rather than "invade" the Malaysian football pages?

It wouldn't bother me if you correct my grammar or my spellings but altering the infos about Sarawak, exucse me, MY SARAWAK is insulting. I am a Sarawakian and I know better about Sarawak better than you do. I am a Sarawak fanatic and my brother is a former Sarawak player!

Sarawak's new battlecry is Kenyalang Enda Cuak not Ngap Sayot or Enchang Jang Enchang anymore.

You can touch any other Malaysian football article, but not my Sarawak. Okay? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.95.107.130 (talk • contribs) 10:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

If you check my contributions in the editing history of the Sarawak FA article, you'll see that I've never deleted or changed any information relating to the team's nickname or battlecry. The only changes I made to the 'Themes and nicknames' section were some very minor grammar amendments a couple of days ago. If any inaccurate information relating to this has been put into the article, it has been done by others, not me. Please check your facts before making accusations in future. Singopo 11:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your consideration

Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. You were one of the oppose votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 03:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Request for Adminship

Thanks for contributing to my RfA! Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Newyorkbrad's RfA

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 18:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] changes to Australian Intervarsity Debating Championships

I saw your changes to Australian Intervarsity Debating Championships. Can you please explain what you did? Why did you see the need to swap the order around? Did you provide any new information? Cheers, Jokular 02:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Singopo, thanks for participating in my successful RfA. You expressed concern about me not answer the questions; I've written some brief reflections, including an answer to Question 3, in case you're still worried: User:Ragesoss/RfA. --ragesoss 08:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

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 05:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which which passed nem. con. with 45 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral. Thank you for your support and all the kind words that were expressed. I will try to live up to the trust placed in me by the community. I now have my homework to do and then pass the Marigolds.

[edit] Doczilla RfA

Cna't help but notice you Opposed, per Phil Sandifer and black Kite. However, after Doczilla explained (see Phil's talk page), they both struck their votes, perhaps you might read up and reconsider your views on the subject? ThuranX (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Phil, who started that, didn't just strike his oppose vote. He voted in support. Wryspy (talk) 21:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for participating in my RfA! It was closed as successful with 58 supporting, 0 opposing, and 2 neutral. I hope to demonstrate that your trust in me is rightly placed and am always open to critiques and suggestions. Cheers. MBisanz talk 04:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfB

Thank you very much fir participating in the discussion. I would greatly appreciate any education you could provide vis-a-vis the question I raised under your comment. If this current nomination does not pass, I would need to comport myself more in line with the community's requirements and you saw fit to register a comment. Thanks, -- Avi (talk) 02:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfB

I wanted to personally thank you, Singopo, for your participation in my recent RfB. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I am thankful and appreciative that in general, the community feels that I am worthy of the trust it requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I hope that over the near future, you will become comfortable and satisfied with my understanding of the particulars and subtleties inherent in the RfA process, and that I may be able to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 17:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singapore American School article

Check your sources more often. I googled one of the sentences and got the same, exact wording from the site as shown in the Wikipedia article. Prowikipedians (talk) 07:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

If you look through the Singapore American School article's history, you'll see that the text you think was copied was added into the article in May 2005. The website you refer to (Organization Research Guide at www.123exp-orgs.com) was only created in August 2006 (see: http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=123exp-orgs&tld=com). This is clearly as case of this site copying its text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. Singopo (talk) 07:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA has closed

My RFA that you weighed in on earlier has closed as no consensus to promote, at a final tally of 120/47/13. I thank you for your feedback and comments there, and I'm going to be considering all the various advice and comments presented. I might end up at RFA again some day, or not. If you see me there again in the future, perhaps you might consider a Support !vote. If not, not, and no hard feelings. The pen is still mightier than the mop! See you around, and thanks again. Lawrence § t/e 18:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hi Singopo, I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 23:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3R warning

I am posting this to give you due warning about your blatant 3R violation. You have now made over 3 reversions in a few days to a sourced piece of material that is clearly relevant to the claims in your article. You may be uncomfortable with it, probably because as your name suggests you are a partisan to the events, but you have no grounds to delete it. If you do so again I will be reporting you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.218.27 (talk) 15:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I have not violated WP:3RR because my reverts were spread out over more than 24 hours. Please see Talk:Asian Universities Debating Championship‎ for my further thoughts on this whole dispute. Singopo (talk) 01:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
