Hello! I saw that you'd edited some of the globe text on Image:wiki.png some time ago, I was hoping you might be able to help identify one of the characters which I can't figure out. See m:Talk:Errors in the Wikipedia logo if you're interested. Thanks for your time! -- tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 12:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight ( talk) 03:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed your opposition to global rights. Could you review the meta:Global deleted image review draft and offer an opinion on the talk page? We Common admins are (unsurprisingly) in unanimous support so far, but I imagine you will have a different take on it that will be useful to the discussion. - Banyan Tree 01:24, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

You deserve this! Thanks for unblocking me and letting me expose my arguments abut a problem so small. I´ll try to avoid this kind of issues in the future. Thanks again! ometzit<col> ( talk) 04:43, 23 June 2008 (UTC) |
The second part of the proposal (which comprises bug 14576 and bug 13426) to give account creators override-antispoof right addresses your concern as both admins and account creators will get a confirmation screen if an account being created already exists. This eliminates the need to admins to try creation in a regular account first, thereby killing 2 birds with one stone. See [1] for more info.-- Finalnight ( talk) 06:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know that the 'stricken out supports' are a result of the penultimate thread on the candidate's talk page. Rudget ( logs) 19:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Prodego. Let me just begin by saying that I appreciate your suggestion, it's the best complement I have received on here. However, I am just about to start a new job, and I am not sure I will have the time to devote to adminship. So I guess my answer is, "not right now". Perhaps sometime in the future, I would consider going out for adminship, but I cannot commit to such an endeavor right now. -- Eastlaw ( talk) 17:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to have to ask you to remove the "Kennedy v. Louisiana" blurb because it is neither listed at current events and has not been discussed. Feel free to add it to current events and then put it up for discussion. Thanks, Spencer T♦ C 18:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I had seen that there is a backlog of 18 users (including myself) that have applied to use VandalProof, and I saw on the VP moderator's list that you are one of the moderators. Would you please take care of it, seeing as rest of the mods are offline or on wikibreak? Just as a reminder, the approval page is at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Approval. Thanks in advance!

Hey, haven't communicated with you in a long time. I need advice as to whether it is ever acceptable to summarize a primary source? I think it is if you don't draw an inference from it at all, but another editor disputes that and I don't want to dig in my heels on it and be wrong. Thanks! -- BenBurch ( talk) 05:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
Sorry to single you out for this but you appear to be the only VP mod still around in the last month other than Betacommand but as you're probably aware he's go other stuff on at the mo.
You're probably aware of the situation around bugs with VP with several reports of VP being irrecoverably broken and users being reccomended elsewhere.
As far as I can worl out (for me at least) VP has been broken since late March with users being logged in not being recognised by the launcher and displaying genereic IPs. I tried contactinf AmiDaniel on his talk page but he appears not to have been editing regularly for some time and has not responded to me or other users since I left him a message.
As I said sorry for coming to you over everyone else but given the bug logging which has gone unnoticed apparently, both on Daniel's website (which itself hasn't been edited other than by porn spammers for ages) and on the WP bug logger, can we assume that no more work is being done on VP and it is a dead project? The numbers of people apparently leaving messages on VP mods talk pages asking for approval due to backlogs isn't encouraging either.
Do you have any news at all on the project's status, or can you contact AmiDaniel at all to find out?
Thanks in advance. BigHairRef | Talk 02:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
