It being past 15:35 UTC, congratulations (or condolences as the case may be ;)) on your successful RfA. It's not official yet, but it might as well be. Thank you for being so patient waiting for me to put together your RfA. If there's anything I can ever do for you, please do not hesitate to ask. Hopefully, it won't take two months for me to do it :) All the best, -- Durin 16:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an
administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the
administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the
Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new
administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! --

Hi SFC, I was working away clearing out some backlog at WP:CSD. I see you have started tagging redundant Scotland infobox maps - GREAT. Some of them, however, are not totally redundant yet ( Image:Forfar-Scotland.png for example). Can you please make sure that all linked pages have been updated with the new image before tagging for speedying. If you prefer, you can just pass me a list for deletion in due course and I will work my way through it as part of the effort. Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 15:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey man, i've nominated myself for admin, i was wondering if you could support me, and tell other ppl to do the same.
If you cud do this that would be great ,
Thanks for your help in advance , Aadamh 12:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- You have very few edits and extremely limited experience of how Wikipedia works. Most editors who consider RfA nominations look for substantially more experience across a wide range of namespace areas. Your nomination is doomed to almost certain failure.
- Your attempted self nomination is improperly formed and does not appear on the main RfA page. Nobody yet knows it "exists".
- It is severely frowned upon to solicit support from other users as you have done on my talk page.
Hi Cactus Man. Thought you could help with this question. I want to start a new category of article with its own talk page etc. It would have a stub category of its own and a little image (like the onw you did for Scottich building stubs. Its got nothing to do with Scotland but I don't want to say it here bec. I'd like my daughters to be the "founders" of the category. Can you direct me to info on where to learn how to do this? Thanks -- Lawnmowerman 18:42, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Cactus Man. I also left this question on Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories as you suggested. I have an idea and was hoping someone could give me some guidance on whther its a good one, whether its permitted in WP, and if so, tips on how to do it. I have recently begun helping my children write some articles and stubs on WP. I would like to create a notation for articles that denotes them (or flags them if you prefer) as having been written by a "young author." I see WP as a fantastic way to educate my children in significant ways and hope perhaps the movement will catch on. In connection with the effort, I would like to have a special page for the "young authors project" etc. I would define young authors in some very generic way so as to protect identities. What do you think? Do you have any tips on how to do this or an "administrator" that would be particularly knowledgeable about how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Lawnmowerman 14:43, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Half of edits made every day by Mikkalai are Anti-romanian. There is blocking on Anti-semitic edits, nazi edits and also on Anti-romanian edits. His hatred is manifested against all Romania/ Moldova/ Transnistria related articles. His favourite target is to constantly remove the words Romanian language from any Moldova related article. Moldova is also a region from Romania and was split by sovietic force in 1940 from Romania. He is russian and his hatred towards romanians is manifested by his Anti-Romanian edits made every day. Yes, he was blocked once for violating and Anti-Romanian edits. From a moldovan.

Hi Shreshth, I just noticed you have a Support vote in the Neutral section. I didn't do anything with it as I was unsure if it really is support in the wrong section, or really is neutral with the wrong heading. Perhaps you could fix this up. Thanks. -- Cactus.man ✍ 12:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Rmfstar, I was working through clearing some backlog of orphaned fair use images when I came across Image:VishniacWisdom.jpg. This seemed like a worthy fair use image to salvage, so I added it back into the article. I now see that you are the main author of the article, the uploader of the image, the person who last removed it from the article and the user who tagged it as orphaned fair use. It seems to me to be a shame to lose such a good photograph, but I'll respect your wishes as the main editor involved. What do you think? -- Cactus.man ✍ 12:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I am the father of Edward Richmond. The Army released Sgt Jeffrey Waruch because they said they didn't find enough evidence to try him but if you read the Army Times.com article someone might wonder why not. I have official investigation paperwork of the incident that was investigated at Command Level when it happened. It would shock you. If you want to see it I would send you some of it. You know why they didn't bring him up for charges? The government could not allow the only witness in US vs Richmond to be under investigation during my son's trial. Sgt Waruch did what they "accused" my son of. If you were on a Jury and found out that the witness had shot "surrendering civilians" and a mother and daughter that was running away and wasn't being charged what would you think. The women were supposedly running from side to side. Major Samuel Schubert was the prosecutor in my son's case and wrote that Second Legal Reveiw the day after he charged my son with un-premeditated murder. Edward Richmond richmond@premier.net
My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again.

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/ Carolyn Wood]], and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Joaquin Murietta ( talk • contribs)

First off, congrats. Secondly: business. The JFK page, for whatever reason, is a vandalism attractor. I went through proper channels, got a {{sprotect}} on it, but then, less than 24 hours later another administrator took it off (saying that 20 hours was plenty). Within a few days, vandalism was back up, and today it's ridiculous. At the time of this writing, 14 of the last 50 edits were reverts. Any thoughts? -- Sholom 20:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you removed the sprotected tag from the Tony Blair article recently. I didn't see a request for unprotection prior to this. Can you educate me about how the process works? What should I be looking out for if I want to argue that a protected article should remain protected? Thanks SP-KP 18:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your interest in VandalProof! You've been added to the list of authorized users, and I will do my best to notify you once a download becomes available. AmiDaniel ( Talk) 03:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dave, what a great wee building!! I was completely unaware of this in Mackintosh' repertoire. Nice bunch of images to go with it too. I particularly like the "eyebrow" hooded lintels over the high level windows on the curved end - brilliant stuff. I also see that you uploaded a bunch of images for the Willow Tearooms which, shockingly, doesn't have an article. Do you want to do it, or should I? Nice work with the neds as well :-) Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 10:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Cactus.man! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erebus, unfortunately your edits of American spelling to British spelling on American-content articles contravene the Manual of Style, as pointed out to you above. The particularly unfortunate thing is that you have been using the AutoWikiBrowser which is a great productivity tool, but can cause a lot of damage in a short space of time if misused (even if inadvertantly). An admin has temporarily blocked your access to the use of AWB.
Please carefully review the MOS spelling gudelines and look through all the edits you made. If you can agree to work your way through them systematically, and revert if need be, I am sure we can restore your access to the use of AWB. Bear in mind for the future that all AWB edits should be carefully considered before being committed. Please get back to me. -- Cactus.man ✍ 18:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that a download of VandalProof has recently been made available. AmiDaniel ( Talk) 09:48, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dave, today was supposed to be Willow Tearoom start day, but you went and posted Bud Neill which completely blootered my plans. What a great find! Being inspired by what I found, I've expanded the article, but am having trouble finding freely available photo's of the statue. There are lots available on Flickr, including some nice shots, but they mostly have restrictive licences. The only one with a free license has a traffic cone on top of bajin's heid - not quite what the article needs. Any chance you could get along there on a nice sunny day and get some good pics? Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 12:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Just looked - brilliant work on the Bud Neill article! I've mentioned on my talk page some book covers I was thinking of scanning, and will try to photie the statue next time I'm in Glasgow. The stub was started because a link was needed for the summary to Image:Tiktaalik.png. .... dave souza, talk 17:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much, once again, for maintaining the Portal - I keep forgetting about it, which is strange, considering how often I link to it!
The absolutely tremendous new article Bud Neill would make an excellent article in the "featured" box at the Portal (Calgacus' history article has had a very good run already). I would do it myself, but thought I'd see if you would like to do the edit? I would also like to nominate Bud Neill for Good Article status soon. -- Mais oui! 11:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain why we shouldn't have an article on Maurice Rabb? Elfalem 19:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I wonder why don't you try to update the template yourself? It has not been updated for more than 24 hours. The only regularly updating admin is on wikibreak and will not be "active for the foreseeable future" as his talk page says. So we need an admin who would take up this work. -- Ghirla -трёп- 15:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Major kudos again. I wonder why you chose to ignore Battle of Budapest: the template has recently featured a number of articles that used to be stubs but were expanded so considerably — more than three times the previous length — that they are new articles in fact. I also see that you didn't put Image:Shuv_rokot.jpg on the Main Page but if you would please take a note that images from Commons should be temporarily uploaded to English Wikipedia in order to protect them. -- Ghirla -трёп- 09:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've been involved with updating DYK for the last 3-4 months. I'd be on an indefinite wikibreak for the better part of the year. Thanks for updating DYK. btw, the template "UpdatedDYK" is optional. -- Gurubrahma 13:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that the anachronous quality of the fighting—medieval ramparts against tanks and planes—was a more interesting aspect than the simple disparity of numbers, which is altogether the norm in sieges. Who suggested the change? Albrecht 16:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Wow, I was really impressed with how fast you reverted my edits to the doughnut topic (doughnuts as economic indicators). How'd you do that?? I read the RC Patrol page, but wasn't sure what tools you used and how specific edits are flagged?
Thanks, Mark Colorado, USA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.17.168.58 ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for supporting my RfA. I’m proud to inform you that it passed with 75 support to 1 oppose to 2 neutral. I promise to make some great edits in the future (with edit summaries!) and use these powers to do all that I can to help. After all, that’s what I’m here for! (You didn’t think I could send a thank you note without a bad joke, could I?) -- Here T oHelp 13:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed that you removed the sprotected tag from the Tony Blair article recently. I didn't see a request for unprotection prior to this. Can you educate me about how the process works? What should I be looking out for if I want to argue that a protected article should remain protected? Thanks SP-KP 18:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your interest in VandalProof! You've been added to the list of authorized users, and I will do my best to notify you once a download becomes available. AmiDaniel ( Talk) 03:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dave, what a great wee building!! I was completely unaware of this in Mackintosh' repertoire. Nice bunch of images to go with it too. I particularly like the "eyebrow" hooded lintels over the high level windows on the curved end - brilliant stuff. I also see that you uploaded a bunch of images for the Willow Tearooms which, shockingly, doesn't have an article. Do you want to do it, or should I? Nice work with the neds as well :-) Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 10:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Cactus.man! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erebus, unfortunately your edits of American spelling to British spelling on American-content articles contravene the Manual of Style, as pointed out to you above. The particularly unfortunate thing is that you have been using the AutoWikiBrowser which is a great productivity tool, but can cause a lot of damage in a short space of time if misused (even if inadvertantly). An admin has temporarily blocked your access to the use of AWB.
Please carefully review the MOS spelling gudelines and look through all the edits you made. If you can agree to work your way through them systematically, and revert if need be, I am sure we can restore your access to the use of AWB. Bear in mind for the future that all AWB edits should be carefully considered before being committed. Please get back to me. -- Cactus.man ✍ 18:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that a download of VandalProof has recently been made available. AmiDaniel ( Talk) 09:48, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dave, today was supposed to be Willow Tearoom start day, but you went and posted Bud Neill which completely blootered my plans. What a great find! Being inspired by what I found, I've expanded the article, but am having trouble finding freely available photo's of the statue. There are lots available on Flickr, including some nice shots, but they mostly have restrictive licences. The only one with a free license has a traffic cone on top of bajin's heid - not quite what the article needs. Any chance you could get along there on a nice sunny day and get some good pics? Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 12:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Just looked - brilliant work on the Bud Neill article! I've mentioned on my talk page some book covers I was thinking of scanning, and will try to photie the statue next time I'm in Glasgow. The stub was started because a link was needed for the summary to Image:Tiktaalik.png. .... dave souza, talk 17:44, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much, once again, for maintaining the Portal - I keep forgetting about it, which is strange, considering how often I link to it!
The absolutely tremendous new article Bud Neill would make an excellent article in the "featured" box at the Portal (Calgacus' history article has had a very good run already). I would do it myself, but thought I'd see if you would like to do the edit? I would also like to nominate Bud Neill for Good Article status soon. -- Mais oui! 11:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

...for voting in my RFA. It passed with a result of 58/2/0. If you have any comments, or for some reason need any new-admin help, please let me know here. Regards, ProhibitOnions 22:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC) |
Can you explain why we shouldn't have an article on Maurice Rabb? Elfalem 19:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello! I wonder why don't you try to update the template yourself? It has not been updated for more than 24 hours. The only regularly updating admin is on wikibreak and will not be "active for the foreseeable future" as his talk page says. So we need an admin who would take up this work. -- Ghirla -трёп- 15:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Major kudos again. I wonder why you chose to ignore Battle of Budapest: the template has recently featured a number of articles that used to be stubs but were expanded so considerably — more than three times the previous length — that they are new articles in fact. I also see that you didn't put Image:Shuv_rokot.jpg on the Main Page but if you would please take a note that images from Commons should be temporarily uploaded to English Wikipedia in order to protect them. -- Ghirla -трёп- 09:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Many thanks for your support on my recent RfA. It was successful. Thanks again, Mark83 09:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've been involved with updating DYK for the last 3-4 months. I'd be on an indefinite wikibreak for the better part of the year. Thanks for updating DYK. btw, the template "UpdatedDYK" is optional. -- Gurubrahma 13:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Wonderful illustrations added to articles on my watchlist - leading me to some great new articles on Scottish artists - expansions, more pics - and endless disambigs etc. - your work noticed and appreciated. -- HJMG 17:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that the anachronous quality of the fighting—medieval ramparts against tanks and planes—was a more interesting aspect than the simple disparity of numbers, which is altogether the norm in sieges. Who suggested the change? Albrecht 16:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.
