VP Ongoing Issue

For some reason my name has been removed from the list of authorized users. I was added by Betacommand here [1], and he welcommed me here[2]. I had difficulties using it, did everything I could myself, was unable to, so I requested assistance here [3]. Instead of assistance, I was removed from the list. Because I have had difficulties on wikipedia recieving help from administrators when requested, this message is in essence a generic template I am writing on all moderators' talk pages and discussion boards in the hopes of recieving if nothing else a response - ideally, however, a solution. Thank you very much and apologies for my impatience. Gregorof/(T) 05:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

My Editor Review and Assuming Good Faith

Hi! Thanks for participating in my review. A couple of things. 1. I would just like to say that I respectfully disagree with the statement that ""Enforcing" users to assume good faith is, ironically, not assuming good faith." The page you linked to states that "the very act of citing AGF assumes that the opponent is assuming bad faith." This is not necessarily true. If I make an edit, and someone else disagrees with it, but rather than politely open a dialogue with me, they accuse me of vandalism (which has happened), then their failure to adhere to GF is not an "assumption" on my part, but a fairly obvious statement of observation. Whether a person is acting in good faith is easily determined by the approach they take when disagreeing with another editor. The page also says that it is best not to cite the rule. But this is not reasonable. If a policy or guideline is being violated, then how else is it to be enforced if not with a polite admonishment? The page isn't even a policy or guideline itself, but an essay, and a poorly thought-out, ill-conceived one at that, one that I don't think should be cited as policy. The discussion on its Talk Page supports this. No offense.

2. Why do you feel I should participte in more project edits? Is this a required step for Admins? Why are projects pages more important than articles not a part of projects? Also, the area in which I have contributed the most number of edits is probably Comics, and you can see on my User Page that that subject is the one for which I listed the largest number of articles I worked on. Does the Project: Comics thing not count? And how can I find out where AfD's and other such projects are occurring? I would appreciate your input. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream 08:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Your input is appreciated. Sorry if I misunderstood your earlier comments.  :-) Nightscream 15:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

On 4 November 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Christianity in Mongolia, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Allen3 ^talk 11:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Heh, thanks for the "awkward attempt at comedy." It's nice to see something other than template placement for a change. On a not-so-related note, have you put any thought into an RfA? It's okay if you haven't, no pressure or anything, but I'd be happy to nominate you. Best, --Mr. Lefty (talk) 20:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

About moving pages

When moving pages, such as List of Futurama Gadgets, please remember to fix any double redirects. I had to do this myself, so please remember in the future. Thank you. --AAA! ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I seem to have forgotten to do so, thanks for reminding me.--TBCΦtalk? 16:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Cats and Dogs Portals

Hi, TBC. If you can offer some tips on the respective portal talk pages about how to improve Cats and Dogs up to "featured" quality, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rfrisbie^talk 18:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Tree Biting Conspiracy/The Colbert Report recurring elements

Hi,

Per your request, I have userfied this to you at the above name. Sorry it took this long -- busy with the election yesterday. Best wishes, Xoloz 18:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Anthropology project

I have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it. Thank you. Badbilltucker 21:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Weekly

Heya! Thanks for your suggestions for topics -- I really love a couple of them, and I'll be trying to slip them into an episode further down the line. Man, we have so much content to get through... we might have the bite the bullet and make our episodes that much longer...

That said, are you interested in being a panelist on, at least, episode 5? We'll be recording it this weekend at some point, and we still have at least one spot open if you'd like to fill it. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 12:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so very much for voting support in my RfA. However, I have withdrawn due to reasons that a stressed user would withdraw under. I'm sorry I have failed you & your expectations. Thanks, Spawn Man 09:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings! Thank you so much, Tree Biting Conspiracy, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof User List and Fair use amendment

I've recently also gotten errors telling me that I'm not on the user list, and then later, that the list was corrupt. Thinking that it was something on my side, I traced VandalProof to the VandalProof "L" page, perhaps due to something wrong with the reverts? Hope it gets fixed soon!

Also, the fair use amendment allowing fair use images in portals is in limbo right now, as one side says it changes policy, the other says that it doesn't. Can you clarify this? Thanks. Ddcc 19:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Spa

Hello. I thought you had some good comments at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 November 14#Template:Spa. And even though I disagreed that the template should be deleted, some of your concerns are certainly valid. I have added some comments at Template talk:Spa#XfD discussions and concerns of possible misuse, which I hope might help prevent overly aggressive application of this template. Thanks, Satori Son 22:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA nom

I know you've turned down previous RfA nominations, but maybe you'll reconsider now. In your 2nd RfA you said you needed a month more of experience. That was on October 6, and today is November 27. Reconsider? Nishkid64 15:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Btw, I'll create the page if you accept the nom. Nishkid64 15:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:RfA

Dang! I think you would make a great admin, TBC! Just two weeks ago, I asked Gogo Dodo to accept my RfA nomination, but he was inclined to decline because he felt he needed more experience. I eventually convinced him, and his RfA passed with almost 100% support! I hope you really do reconsider, TBC. If you don't feel ready yet, I understand, but be sure to tell me when you feel like going up for the RfA. I'll definitely nominate you in the future. =) Nishkid64 18:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
