Hello... WikiProject Fictional series is in the process of getting a new start by attracting task forces. I am currently getting things set up for this and other project building areas. Please stop by and take a look. Your suggestions will be appreciated. - LA @ 01:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm having quite a stressful day IRL, so that was really helpful. -- Dweller ( talk) 14:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey AO. Thanks for supporting, but just a quick note re your comment [Well, what Neil has done (oppose all reconfirmation RFAs, regardless of who is re-running) is, in a way, an equally flimsy grounded oppose.)]. If I opposed reconfirmation RFA just because I believe they are unnecessary, it would be a flimsy protest vote. But there's a deeper meaning - the fact they are unnecessary suggests to me the only reason a user would take one is to obtain a community "pat on the back" prior to regaining the sysop bit, when all the time he/she could have just requested from a bureaucrat, anyway. Unnecessary bureaucracy is anathema to me - my career IRL is based on eliminating it. Additionally, I also feel admins who care "too much" about what the community thinks of them are prone to being unstable and unreliable, and need a confirmation is evidence of that mindset. I think an admin who needs an unnecessary reconfirmation before retaking the tools is too sensitive for the role. That's why they are unnecessary. Neıl ☎ 16:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. And thanks for your encouragement. We'll see how it goes! The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi - The reason Rise and Fall wasn't credited to you is because it was credited to user:AO. Like the comment says at WP:WBFAN, direct edits generally will have very little effect (the bot recreates it from the source lists, pretty much every day). This edit will fix it permanently. -- Rick Block ( talk) 01:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
The Cannon work spurred me on. Even with 2,500,000+ articles, you still find something to write about. bibliomaniac 1 5 22:46, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
So I got to thinking after a short 100 edit reverting vandalism marathon (half reverts, half warnings and a couple mistakes of mine that I fixed), what could I make to brighten the day, I think my latest conception is as great or greater then my last one. Please have a look at the 42nd Cabal its awesome! (yes the html scripting was taken from the Bathrobe Cabal)-- Pewwer42 Talk 07:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I managed to figure that out a few minutes ago. I think the problem lay in the fact that your nomination was exceedingly short and altogether too clear; my practice at XfD is to write exorbitantly long nominations that say relatively little, and surely nothing persuasive, and I am ill-suited to handle, you know, cogency. Thanks, in any case, for catching my oversight (especially since I intended later to offer at MfD some diffuse commentary on the autograph books MfD), and apologies for my failure to read more carefully. Cheers, Joe 03:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I closed the discussion for Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:I'm_Proud_to_be_a_Wikipedian as essentially moot but then realized you didn't actually complete the userfication - or you undid it. This was pretty well WP:SNOW for userfication. Could you delete the projectspace page? Also, did you copy the full history to userspace? I was a little unclear as to where it went in userspace, it looked like Wizardman said he created it in userspace at User:Nothing444/contest at the same time as it was nominated, which didn't make sense. Anyway, I thought about undoing my close once I realized the issues, but I think we can just get rid of the projectspace page if the history has been moved. Thanks.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 05:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I just started using Huggle. I think I understand the basics, but wow. This program is overwhelming. I read WP:Huggle. After opening the program the first time, it certainly changes how I revert vandalism. I used to just focus on the few hundred pages on my watchlist. Now I'm viewing everything anywhere that is marked as possible vandalism. Enigma msg! 08:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Remember how I was talking about that vandal guy on IRC? Well, I've been doing some WHOIS searches on the latest IPs (especially the 172.x.x. ranges) and some of The UPN Vandal's old ones, and I do believe it's the same guy. He is adding false info into film/TV-related articles with poor grammar, which is what he used to always do. So I put {{ Ipsock}} on the IP pages, like you said. You can block them, if you like. Also, some of the articles he's currently targeting are Happy Feet, Winx Club, Dreamworks Animation, and others. You can scout out the history pages of these articles to help uncover more IPs, and check those IPs' contributions to help find more articles he's targeting. Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. -- AAA! ( AAAA) 14:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello AndonicO, I was on recent changes patrol and noticed someone posted concerns about User:Puncharoo being a Komodo lover sock. It seems fairly obvious that Puncharoo is Komodo lover, especially when this mentions all the topics/articles Komodo lover is notorious for adding hoax information. Do you mind if I extend the block to indefinite due to the evidence that shows his account to be a very likely sock? ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 18:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestion but at the moment I've only got about 400 mainspace edits so it's not possible right now. BigHairRef | Talk 04:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

This guy is a roving IP vandal who seldom shows up on the same IP twice. I think a year block is not warranted - he has already moved on to another IP so this won't effect him in any way. We need to be considering range blocks. -- NrDg 16:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you severely overestimate reach of Britannica. It does not have an article about Tsar Cannon (or howitzer for that matter) and its article on cannons is 291 words long... :) I was trying to look up the cannon in all other databases that I have access to but it yielded only short news stories how Russian President gave a tour in Kremlin to some foreign diplomat.

I wanted to personally thank you, Andonico, for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and that you have only seen good things from my "corner"
, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. 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 hope I can continue 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. --

Hi. Just a reminder that Category:Rouge admins is currently deleted. Also why is your userpage template display as red links? I did not remove the template because your template was protected. Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 02:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Gabbe, I was wondering if you could cite a source for this edit that you made a couple of years ago? We're getting Cannon ready for an FAC, and that looks like an interesting fact (that was recently removed, as OR). I've looked through the 2001 Guinness book, but can't find any info on the largest howitzer. Did you take that from a different edition? Sorry for inquiring about such an old edit, but thanks, regardless of whether or not you remember. · AndonicO Hail! 02:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Största haubits. Den största haubits som någonsin konstruerats är Tsar Pusjka (Kejsarkanonen), som nu står uppställd i Kreml i Moskva. Den göts på 1500-talet med en kaliber på 920 mm och ett 3,2 m långt eldrör. Det var meningen att den skulle avfyra kulor på 2 ton, men den kom aldrig till användning. Dess vikt var 39,3 ton.
Då turkarna 1453 intog Konstantinopel avfyrade de från 12 april till 29 maj upp till sju skott om dagen mot stadens murar med en s.k. bombarde, som drogs av 60 oxar och 200 man. Den var 8 m lång, dess kaliber 1 066 mm, och projektilerna var stenkulor som vägde 540 kg.
Biggest howitzer. The biggest howitzer ever constructed is the Tsar Pushka (Emperor Cannon), which now stands on display at the Kremlin in Moscow. It was cast in the 16th century with a caliber of 920 mm and a 3,2 m long firing tube. It was supposed to fire balls at 2 tonnes, but never came to use. Its weight was 39,3 tonnes.
When the Turks in 1453 took Constantinople they fired from April 12th to May 29th up to seven shots a day against the city walls with a so-called bombarde, which was pulled by 60 oxen and 200 men. It was 8 m long, its caliber 1 066 mm, and the projectiles were stone balls weighing 540 kg.

Hey you cheeky monkey, you forced me down this route.... the old experimental RfB passed successfully with (133/4/3). And you were right. Happy?! Thanks for your support and your encouragement. I'll do my utmost to repay your faith in me. All the best. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear AndonicO, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

An election has been proposed and has been set up for this project. Description of the roles etc., can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Coordinators. If you wish to stand, enter your candidacy before the end of March and ask your questions of anyone already standing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Coordinators/May 2008. Voting will start on the 1st April and close at the end of April. The intention is for the appointments to last from May - November 2008. For other details check out the pages or ask.

I've looked through the 2001 Guinness book, but can't find any info on the largest howitzer. Did you take that from a different edition? Sorry for inquiring about such an old edit, but thanks, regardless of whether or not you remember. · AndonicO Hail! 02:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Största haubits. Den största haubits som någonsin konstruerats är Tsar Pusjka (Kejsarkanonen), som nu står uppställd i Kreml i Moskva. Den göts på 1500-talet med en kaliber på 920 mm och ett 3,2 m långt eldrör. Det var meningen att den skulle avfyra kulor på 2 ton, men den kom aldrig till användning. Dess vikt var 39,3 ton.
Då turkarna 1453 intog Konstantinopel avfyrade de från 12 april till 29 maj upp till sju skott om dagen mot stadens murar med en s.k. bombarde, som drogs av 60 oxar och 200 man. Den var 8 m lång, dess kaliber 1 066 mm, och projektilerna var stenkulor som vägde 540 kg.
Biggest howitzer. The biggest howitzer ever constructed is the Tsar Pushka (Emperor Cannon), which now stands on display at the Kremlin in Moscow. It was cast in the 16th century with a caliber of 920 mm and a 3,2 m long firing tube. It was supposed to fire balls at 2 tonnes, but never came to use. Its weight was 39,3 tonnes.
When the Turks in 1453 took Constantinople they fired from April 12th to May 29th up to seven shots a day against the city walls with a so-called bombarde, which was pulled by 60 oxen and 200 men. It was 8 m long, its caliber 1 066 mm, and the projectiles were stone balls weighing 540 kg.

Hey you cheeky monkey, you forced me down this route.... the old experimental RfB passed successfully with (133/4/3). And you were right. Happy?! Thanks for your support and your encouragement. I'll do my utmost to repay your faith in me. All the best. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear AndonicO, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Tell me about it! I've cut it two days short thanks to the help of Dweller. :) Rudget . 20:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, what do you think about a cannon FAC in the near future? Edits have slowed way down, and it looks good to my untrained eye. Are there any lingering issues before we nominate? Keilana| Parlez ici 04:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi AndonicO! Thank-you for your
support in my RfA (91/1/1).

Huh? One of the sources was blacklisted? I'm confused... Keilana| Parlez ici 18:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
The reason that I have so many links is that you can just highlight the picture and see all the links. I may consider your idea. By the way:

I am ready to FAC Cannon, i just want to know if you think i should. Sunder land 06 20:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
AndonicO, as the significantly principle editor, if the article isn't ready, you can request that I withdraw (rather than fail) the FAC. Pls leave me a note. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 13:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Please have Keilana re-sign when it's resubmitted, so the datestamp will be correct. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 14:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WorldInCrysis ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
It's not in the genre of articles you're into, so if you don't want to review it, I totally understand. Trust. Just dropping a request, as I'm going for FA. I figure you give me so much shit elsewhere, you may be interested in giving me shit here. ;) Thanks for your consideration. Regards, Lara ❤ Love 05:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Could you check ref #14? I think it was a journal article, not a book. See [6]. Nishkid64 ( Make articles, not love) 17:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
