Neutral question at my RFA

I've replied. I was under the impression the neutral was regarding the actual co-nominations. Feel free to remove, but all I'm stating currently is that I turned DHMO down as a co-nom. (Added back after the co-nom was removed). Best regards, Rudget. 20:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I understand now. Thanks for the clarification. Addendum: I will be removing it, no matter what the outcome. Regards, Rudget. 21:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
So would you advise me to remove it? I–as already said on the RFA–have been advised to remove prior to your comment. If so, it seems consensus would want to remove it. And as you say, it'll always exist. Rudget. 21:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I would say that it would be best to get rid of it. It's not a big deal that it did happen, just a big deal if it continues to. SorryGuy  Talk  23:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Nice to see some people taking the time to encourage users at their RfA's. Rjd0060 (talk) 04:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


No problem ;). It is nice to see that, for a change. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

RE:Double RfA vote

Hi! Thanks for pointing this out to me. I hope not to make the same mistake again! --Siva1979Talk to me 13:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget!

Dear SorryGuy, 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. 15:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello SorryGuy, I've granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a look through some of your recent contributions, I believe you will use rollback for its intended use of vandalism-reverting, and that you won't use it abusively by edit-warring or reverting good-faith edits. If you don't want rollback, let me know and I'll remove it. Thanks. Acalamari 20:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for going ahead and granting me rollback. I am generally happy with old fashioned reverting, but had thought about looking into it whenever I had the time, which was probably going to be this very weekend. Warm regards, and happy editing. SorryGuy  Talk  01:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome. :) I'm sure you will put it to good use. Best wishes. Acalamari 02:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Indian Valley Public Library

Well, the first footnote ("Coffey") refers back to the text seven different times, to give information that I don't think anyone would say is not significant/substantial. I mean, it's all over the place -- budgets, population, number of card holders, significant recent history of expansion. WP:ORG says that's all you need -- get one independent, reliable source giving substantial coverage and you're there. If it's a question of just wanting to make sure that that's what the article says and that I've accurately reported it in the Wikipedia article, I can copy it and email it to you. I think this would be considered personal copying under copyright law and nothing's wrong with it. If you really think that a second nontrival source is absolutely necessary, please look at [1]Melada, Geoffrey, "Professor's at it again ", article in The Jewish Exponent of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 15, 2002 (and you don't need to get behind a subscription wall to see that one), which is a protest aimed at the library. The source addresses the controversy in detail. Sources are supposed to provide a certain depth of coverage to be considered for notability purposes, but they can certainly focus on one aspect of a library -- this source focuses on the balance the library used for a speakers series. Your email function seems to be working, so I'll email some copies to you. Noroton (talk) 17:12, 17 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)

AfD nomination of Altair(Assasin's Creed)

An editor has nominated Altair(Assasin's Creed), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Altair(Assasin's Creed) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

uw-vandalism4

was already broken (someone told me on IRC), I was trying to fix it, and ultimately failed to do so. —Random832 05:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I see you've done a repair on one of the user warning templates. Since it's probably not the only one needing a fix with the new parser preprocessor in use, you might want to bring the topic up at WikiProject user warnings. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 05:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Testing the other ones, it appears to me as though they are in working order. I'm not really sure what happened with vandal4, to be honest, but everything would appear to be resolved. SorryGuy  Talk  05:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Ah, very good then. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 05:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
