[edit] Welcome!

Welcome to my talk page. If you have a question about Wikipedia, or any of it's Policies, procedures, and guidelines, feel free to ask a question below. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Once I have contacted you on your talk page initially, I will continue the conversation on my page. This keeps everything in order. Have a nice day! Vistro 20:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA

Hi! I think I ought to advise you that it was far too early to request Adminship. It is highly unlikely that it will succeed. If you wish to keep it open, so that you might learn what you need to do to make the next one more likely to gain support, then do so - but there is no shame in closing it yourself per WP:SNOW (in fact, taking the decision yourself may appear better in a future application). Whatever you decide, don't be discouraged! Enthusiasm for the job is a key quality, but it is likely that people will want more edits so that they can make a decent judgement. Cheers.

[edit] I've closed your RfA.

I am truly sorry, but it is far too early for you to be an admin. For example, I made my first few edits in February, however, I am not an admin myself. Once again, I am very sorry, but your RfA had no chance of succeeding. JONATHAN Go green! 00:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elite Exbanded Timeline

You marked the article Elite Exbanded Timeline patrolled, but there were still many problems on it. I have tagged the article so that it may receive the attention it needs. If you are unsure about whether an article still may need improvement or tagging, or merely want a second opinion on it, please do not mark it patrolled. Thank you. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 21:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and Happy New Year

Firstly, let me wish you a very happy New Year and thank you for all your help in the Milhist Tag & Assess 2007 drive.


Military history service award
For tagging and assessing 250 articles in Tag & Assess 2007, by order of the coordinators I hereby present you with this Military history WikiProject Service Award. --ROGER DAVIES talk 11:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)



Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes.

Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be good to have your feedback/comments on the drive at the Tag & Assess workshop

Thanks again for your help, --ROGER DAVIES talk 11:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Response to Reward Board (Furry Articles)

For the furcadia article, I ran through and fixed some last minute, minor (but oh, so important) problems, and nominated it for Good Quality Article. I will continue to keep you updated on its progress. Have a nice day!

Vistro (talk) 00:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

That's good news; however be aware that you will probably not get much of the credit for raising the article to good article status, as the changes you made do not appear to be numerous or significant. The actual act of nomination is not part of the reward - it is the raising of the article itself to the required standard that counts. If subsequent issues are raised by the GA reviewers and you take the action to fix them, that may be another matter. GreenReaper (talk) 01:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on Furcadia, but I don't think it will get a GA status yet, as most of the information in it is still unsourced. -kotra (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alpha Zeta Omega

I have reverted this article to one that doesn't include a huge copy-paste, but I admit the article doesn't really assert notability. Feel free to take it to AfD. J Milburn (talk) 17:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New! BCAD drive from Milhist

Can I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced editors and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Hello, Vistro! This is a little bit personal favor I ask of you. Would you please check Battle of Canusium for grammar. At least for the most "deplorable" errors. That would help me much to improve my English.--Dobrin (talk) 21:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Your remarks are useful.--Dobrin (talk) 17:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
