I'd definitely be up for the 1st, more readable variation. Thanks, EVula, you're the best! hmwith talk 18:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for help in re-redirecting my posting. Also, I have created a legal sock-puppet at User:Bearian'sBooties, as you suggested at my RfA. Bearian 17:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Alright. Thanks anyway!-- Gp75motorsports 17:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...you still haven't really explained to me why there is some really good referenced articles and some which are not so great. Is it because some articles don't have to be referenced, for example a computer game...is it because of the fact that a game isn't found in a non online-encyclopedia that it therefore isn't really required to have references (or citations) as long as the info isn't copied directly and it can be proved? Anyway, I decided to talk to you directly on your talk page, both talking to you on manual of style and TomasBats page got a little to hard for me to keep up with the conversation. Any comments? -Jack 21:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, that's a good point. Hahaha, I already knew that though...I just thought that maybe there was a different reason, oh well. However, I do have another question that has come to mind, after reading your reply...Does wikipedia actually have actual employed staff that manage and contribute (emphasis on the contribute) to this encyclopedia or is it just run and watched over by people like you and me? Oh and another thing…Is paraphrasing considered a breach of copyright (ie. Shouldn’t be done on Wikipedia) when I have found on two websites, containing legal information, that it isn’t? -Jack 01:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stealth Carbon Eagle ( talk • contribs)
Since you're always right =) and seem to know a great deal about html (when I thought I did), I have a question for you. I must keep missing something, because it says "Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags." when I try to use this signature:
It gets my formerly 232 character sig down to 213 characters... if I can ever get it to work! What's wrong here? I'd greatly appreciate the help, and I know as soon as you point it out, I'll hit myself that I missed it. Thanks so much in advance! hmwith talk 22:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Welcome to Lombard wikipedia. The templates user-lmo are fully proteced as the user-en ones are at English wikipedia, if I am not wrong. I will add the interwiki link. Moreover, at that time there was a high risk of vandalism. Probably it's better they remain protected, but everything could be discussed.

I want to write articles on notable users who will be remembered for things like sockpuppetry. I understand you and Sesshomaru are involved in a few. Could you give me details? -- BlackShadowWriter 21:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for your help. Couple of problems though. The top and bottom borders are missing and the talk link doesn't work. It might be a browser issue. I'm using IE, what about you? Thanks again. Doyley Talk 15:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
OK, well on my original version there was a white border to provide a margin and a black border going all the way around. Without the white margin the black border was touching the text and it looked a mess. I think that is whay you are seeing as unnecessary code. Doyley Talk 16:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I have done some work on it, got rid of the border. It is now 219 characters and I think it looks a lot better. Doyley Talk 16:21, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and completely unrelated to sigs, I'd recommend switching to a different browser, such as Firefox or Safari; IE is fraught with security problems and CSS quirks. Then again, I'm highly biased against IE, as I do web development professionally; you'll never meet anyone that does any amount of CSS coding that doesn't hate IE with a burning passion. :D EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I've replaced it with your version. I know what you mean, I am a professional PHP developer. I use IE simply because almost all of my clients do and I need to know how it will look on their browser. I have a dual boot with Linux on my computer though that uses Firefox. I hate MS so I understand you biase ;-) Doyley Talk 16:43, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sir- as an Admin for wikipedia you do realize that you represent wikipedia in every way. For me, you are an official mouthpiece. Thus, I wish to inform you that I am highly offended at your lack of civility and seemingly laughing at me and my very valid concerns. I have read through your request for beurcraticship and it seems many, many others share this concern. I must say it has been substantiated. Additionally, I feel that your levity in dealing with my concerns is unprofessional and unbecoming someone who is an admin. Bstone 04:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey dude, just as a heads up, I've moved your comment in this RfA to the discussion area. [3] Anon users are most certainly allowed to participate in RfAs :) Dihydrogen Monoxide ( H2O) 08:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
At this point, I'm seeing it as disruption on Doczilla's part. No one else ever commented on the case, and it appears pretty much over (I even lefted a response there verifying what I'll do from now on). What do you think? I'm willing to move on but he is reverting the messages back on my talk page. Lord Sesshomaru ( talk • edits) 19:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Did the ANI post list the phone number? Nobody said they would call. The link is dead. I am willing to call if it seems like there is an emergency. Possible prank? Yes. Could someone die? Possible. Mrs.EasterBunny 20:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the block... but how exactly did you become aware of this? It's like you came out of the blue. Just wondering. Gscshoyru 04:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

My dear Wikipedian EVula,
Thank you for your participation in
my RFA, which closed successfully with 36 supports, 3 opposed, and 1 neutral. No matter if you !voted support, oppose, neutral, or even if you just stopped by to make a comment, I thank you for taking the time to drop by. Since I am a new admin, if you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to inform me of them. Thank you and good day.
This RFA thanks was inspired by The Random Editor, who in turn was inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. So unfortunately this is not entirely my own design.
This end the usual RFA thanks spam. You may return to your regular editing now.
A couple new episodes - we're posting the infobox to save duplicating info.

Hello EVula, I do believe this is the first time we've talked directly! G'day from Australia :) Well I have a question regarding Tangobot, as the user who made it seems to be inactive, therefore how does the bot run if there is no user to run it? This probably is a silly question. But I’m confused :S Phgao 05:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Er.. yes I tried to be bold and closed this RfA after consulting with the editor beforehand here, hope I did everything right, would you kindly check? Phgao 09:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [5]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [6].
For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.
If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. -- Cspurrier 18:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi EVula, I originally wrote this to respond to your comment here, but I wanted to be sensative to another editor because the situation I refer to is settled and I don't want to cause undue stress.
The most recent time I saw WP:D invoked, the response at ANI was disappointing. We should make sure the community doesn't appear to condone the use of the WP:D essay to attack other editors. I might not have as much of a problem with it, if that were to happen. But a couple of days ago on ANI, an editor complained of such a personal attack and exactly 1 other person took the time to rebuke its use in that manner (over at least 2 days). At about the same time, about 3-5 admins swooped in very quickly to defend the WP:D essay at MfD (Oh and I think 2 people at ANI took the time to tell the person complaining, that they were thin-skinned and whiny). Now the situation is resolved, and the editor realizes that he/she shouldn't have used it that way. . .but the way it went down was wrong.
I don't mean to complain to you specifically, just thought you might want to know where I'm coming from at the meta page. Take care, R. Baley 05:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
How exactly do I close deletion discussions that are ridiculous? It said delete the image because it was in the wrong article... so I moved it to the right article, and the discussion is now obsolete (no one's commented since the person who proposed it for deletion). Should I wait it out or just close it now per WP:SNOW or something? нмŵוτн τ 18:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi EVula, just now I need your help, please can you tell me what's wrong in this page, or if now does it satisfy the notability guideline? [8] Please tell me it with simple words, I'm not very able in Wikipedia. thanks -- Carlons 21:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
EVula, with all due respect (which is considerable, I might add): I gave it some thought beforehand and then went ahead and identically tagged each of those very similar opposes so as to (i) cry foul as vehemently as possible, out of fear that an admin might get away with this and that it might then create a precedent for other likewise inacceptable things; and (ii) to mark those opposes as being —for all relevant purposes— identical.
Reacting on a per RfA basis to Kurt Weber's "self-nom" 15 minutes, or Kelly Martin's "WikiProject endorsement" monomania wasn't any useful, imo. These "different" !votes don't each merit a different discussion on each of the RfA pages, since they are pointy and single-issue and have marginal relevance for any specific RfA. So I judged it appropriate to tag those comments rather than reacting to their validity case-by-case, with the secondary focus of informing others who had already begun to oppose per those comments.
Also, I do not believe this amounts to wikistalking or even assumption of bad faith, as Mikka suggested. I tried only to describe what I saw and what I think to be of immediate intersubjective "conveyability", namely that those are indeed disregardeable point votes.
You see, I don't care much for the wrong kind of sympathy. There's many ways to be nice, good ones and bad ones. And if an admin (who really should know better) feels compelled to start making point !votes on RfAs, there should be someone to —how formulate this as civilly as possible?— carefully pull the proverbial mop out their ass and politely beat them over the head with it.
Admin patience with normal user can grow thin, and they may then begin issuing blocks. My non-admin patience with admins can grow thin, too, but there is virtually nothing I could do. Post to ANI? Forget it. Been there, done that. It never carries any fundamental consequences. So the only opportunity to cry foul is to do it in situ.
Further, looking around a bit, things like [9], [10], [11], and [12] make me believe that the RfA comments are not such a totally isolated incident, after all. I've seen non-admins blocked for less. For example myself. Indef. Twice. Without warning. And those blocks were justified. — Dorftrot tel 16:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I do comedy, and stand-up when I get over my nervousness (things where I'm doing other people's words, I haven't the slightest nervousness about, and my own words *written*, I'm very confident about, but *performing my words* always gives me a huge bout of 'what if they don't LIKE ME?' worries). Thespian was, also, a shapeshifting superhero character I played about 23 years ago in a roleplaying game, and is a near-anagram of my real name. I've used it online since I was 13 or 14, and first logged into bbses ;-) -- Thespian 05:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'd like to respond here to your comments from the THA Rfa. First, I'm not quite clear why you are ridiculing people's concerns. ("pathetically ridiculous") Sure, I hear that you yourself don't take it seriously. However, because some voters are concerned that THA did not take the issue seriously enough, or at least deal w/it efficiently, doesn't it undermine THA's candidacy for one of THA's main allies to not take it seriously too? I can imagine your frustration, esp since THA may well deserve to be an admin. However, for what it's worth, from my perspective your comment is to the candidate's detriment.
Second, I'm curious about your own userbox. You've drawn attention to it twice. Since some people are offended by it, and consider it inappropriate for an admin, do you plan to delete it or under what circumstances you would do so? (I've worded it this awkward way because I'm uncertain that I would request this myself.) Thanks for your consideration. Pls reply on my Talk, if you don't mind. HG | Talk 20:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Geez. You know you've been on Wikipedia for way too long when even those you thought you'd see around forever start to go. :-( Thanks for telling me. I hope you're not thinking of leaving too. Best regards, Hús ö nd 02:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I would respectfully ask you to reconsider your oppose on Hdt's RfA. You call it "knee-jerk" and I would agree. His contribs throw up no real flags, and he seems a very friendly and civil fellow. As adminship is "no big deal", and this good editor is right on the line (68-70% right now), I'd respecfully ask you to reconsider your oppose. I've appreciated your contributions to other RfA's, and I know that you do not just canvas them with opposes. As such, I felt like you might be open to reconsidering your vote, based upon the fact that Hdt DID wait nearly 3 months this time, racked up 3000+ edits in the process, and is in general not a problem editor. Also, for the record, I am not a Wikifriend of his or anything like that. I'd never interacted with him prior to this RfA. I'm just an editor of the project, concerned with the fact that good editors are often being denied adminship. Thanks in advance for any time you spend taking another look at your vote on Hdt83. K. Scott Bailey 13:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Haha, well it's the thought that counts, right? :) Actually, odd that you left me a message right as I was looking at your userpage.

You're the second person this past month to suggest such a notion -- see here. :) Maybe I'll reconsider down the road, but I feel that my fortitude is in straight-up contributions to film articles. I appreciate the thought, though! — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 15:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for shutting my RFA down. I actually didn't even care if I got adminship at the time or not, I knew I wasn't ready anyway.

Why do you say that link doesn't add anything of value? Did you look at the page it linked to? It brings in fan videos, youtube videos, fan art, flickr images, fan fiction, external links, and will have exclusive video from lucas. I think you should reconsider.
Mhanagan 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I think it does add a lot to "fill out" the experience of Darth Maul in that it has photos and fan art and videos as well as discussion which the other sites linked do not provide and are unique to the Yahoo site. I posted on the talk page for the article as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhanagan ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Dearest EVula,
Thank you for your participation in

Hi, Just a minor note. Noticed on both of those templates "3 years, 8 months and1 day." - Its missing a space after the and.. I couldnt spot it easily in the template, so i thought i'd let you know =). Oh, and when its days (ie day >= 2), its fine.

I've made this personal boilerplate to notify editors that I've closed their RFA early and also give them encouragements and other advice. It's here: User:Wikidudeman/rfafailnote. Wikidudeman (talk) 22:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that (no, I don't mind). Anyway, what I am here mainly asking about is, do you understand what this guy is trying to say? I'm trying to figure out if it is an attack, praise, or something in between. He mentions a deletion, which I suppose is my CSD nom of Aerodynamic qualities of food which was subsequently deleted for the same reason. Is it just me, or have I been staring at too many math problems? Thanks, -- FastLizard4 ( Talk• Links• Sign) 04:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, EVula. I was wondering if you could take a look at this: The Mortal Kombat series article and its talk page are not part of the same article. Someone moved the article to "Mortal Kombat" but the talk page is still at "Talk:Mortal Kombat (series)".
The editor had originally redirected the new talk page to that of a third article, but I've only been able to fix the redirect link, and not physically move the old talk page to where it should be.
It needs an admin to do the job, so it's yours if you want it! :D RobWill80 ( talk) 13:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, EVula. I noticed you were looking to adopt Wikipedians, and the coincidence has it, that I am looking to be adopted. I was hoping I could have the honor of calling you my daddy. So a little something about me.
I currently have a little over 2000 edits. That means I'm not fully green, but not fully ripe yet either. I am currently involved in mediation over Pro-pedophile activism. I'm not a pedophile. I do not care much about userpages, but if I had such an impressive list of how I've been insulted, I would. I'm an eventualist. I patrole newpages. I prefer salveging articles at AfD or even tagged speedy over deleting them. I prefer deleting pages over pages keeping pages that meet the CSD.
I contacted you because on your list of editors you respect/like, I came across a few where I share your oppinion. (I didn't know most though). You seem to have a sense of humor. You are very experienced both as an editor as an administrator. Let me know if you want to adopt me, or prefer for me to find someone else. (I'm wikisperienced enough to take a no, I won't be offended if you WP:BITE me.) Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 23:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Fancy running into you here Eric...
It figures you would be an admin, too. The best part is, I was checking out an admin's user page after following up on some sockpuppet banning when I saw he was an eguor admin. And of course, you'd be one of those couple dozen of elites.
Anyways, nice running into you again after...what is it, seven years now? Coreycubed ( talk) 14:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Doing very well actually. Just dropped by the ASW boards, saw the lack of inactivity -- you did well to move on to greener pastures. My old account still works, heh. Anyways, let's see -- moved on to school (I think that's when we spoke last) and hung out with Skyblade, which was another crazy coincidence, running into him in TN. Married a girl from school and hauled her back to Miami, got some tech certs out of the way and started doing on-site support for law firms. Bounced up to Charleston this summer, to escape the cost of living.
So before I forget to say it, thank you. Thank you for being nice to me, when I was taking my first leaps onto the internet in 2000 at the tender age of 14. For giving me good feedback on my work and my posts and for actually responding when I bugged you about stuff. I haven't forgotten, and I suppose I could say it's part of the reason that I continue to treat mature kids with respect. Coreycubed ( talk) 22:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the swoopy award of hawky goodness! May I ask a question about AIV? Is it just my imagination, or do a lot of people not read the highly complex two-part criteria first? Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but it seems like I am declining at least 25% of the block requests because the vandal is no longer active, has not received sufficient warnings (like none), or stopped vandalizing after a 'last warning.'

Also, as an aside, I've actually gone and commented against your request for bureaucrat buttons - nothing personal, of course, but I figured it might be proper to mention it, as I'm here asking after you, hehe. Just let me know if you're still interested and I'll be happy to vouch for you, as it were. Cheers gaillimh Conas tá tú? 07:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I just wanted to say, as I'm about to
roll out to Slumberland, that I know your RfB is about to close and, though I don't think it's going to be successful (unless 130 supports pop up with a quickness), that I think you'd be a great 'crat. However, every shitty situation has a silver lining—which may or may not be the equivalent of a
turd wrapped in tin foil—and that is, in this case, that you will have extra time to spend
shooting the breeze with
awesomeness. Additionally, extra responsibilities that would come along with Bureaucratship will not be available excuses when asked why you've not yet submitted your photo for induction into the Illustrious, Most Honorable Bathrobe Cabal... or whatever. So there. Just wanted to let you know. Mad love. You rock, gangsta. Peace out, Playa, Playa.

Hi EVula, it's my unhappy duty to confirm that your RfB did not reach consensus. You should, of course, read over all of the questions and the responses (including your own) and pay special attention to the Opposes and Neutrals. There is a lot of valuable information there.
I would like to make a few comments I hope you will find useful; some particular to you and some that I think any prospective 'crat should consider. I believe that your handling of the RfB suggests that you are developing (or at least understand) the temperament needed in a position where you engage the broad community. If there was one thought I have had in following this RfB it is that you need more seasoning; give your 'crat-quest a rest for a while and consider the needs of the job a bit more carefully. Think of a bureaucrat as an umpire or referee. If you make a decision be sure before you make it that it is your best judgment, that it is defensible in policy, that you are confident in it so that you can defend it to the death (figuratively, I hope), and that you stick to it. We have had 'crats resign after especially poor decisions or because they didn't feel up to the heat. This is a process which requires faith in its fairness and accuracy. There have been and probably still are some who would try to take many 'crat decisions to other fora in the hopes of overturning it if they could. This would make the job infinitely harder, the process [even?] more political and faith in it would suffer.
On a more personal level I'd like to make a few comments: I appreciate your sense of humor and the fact that you can look at the world and Wikipedia with a certain lightness. It is a good quality and should add years to your life (no kidding). I also am noted for an ironic (and deadpan) sense of humor which has sometimes caused me a little trouble. Sometimes you'll see it in my off-Rfx work. But RfA/RfB is not a good place for it. In answering questions, don't make the reader read between the lines or look for a smiley. You may well be thinking playful sarcasm, but the reader may be thinking mixed message (to be kind). Should you attain 'cratitude, expect to be attacked early and often. In time, as trust in you builds, you can expect the attacks to be fewer, or at least a little less vituperative. You see how my straightforward question about the anon question was attacked as bad faith in a display of bad faith. That's just the tip of the iceberg. So practice making straightforward responses and leave out the levity unless there is no chance whatever of an ironic response being viewed as genuine. I also think it would be worthwhile to consider dropping the insults and threats rundown from your user space, and be more sensitive that there are quite a few people, notwithstanding the humor of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi, who, because of age, location, or experience, never find certain symbols humorous. -- Cecropia ( talk) 09:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, and Happy Holidays! As far as referencing and citing is concerned, the Princess Leia article is coming along very nicely, I think. One thing I need help with, though: In this section of the article, I've described Leia's unusual hairdo from A New Hope and the impact it has made. Unfortunately, I can't find any image of Leia's hairdo in the Wikicommons. I'd say that section of the article needs more visual identification over that subject, as there's currently only one pic of said hairdo, but it appears much earlier on the page, it's fairly small, and it's a group shot with her and the other two main characters. D'you think you could help me out? — Cinemaniac ( talk) 00:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Hiya, I was wondering what you think of this AfD close. It struck me as really odd to do things like that, especialy since it had just come from DRV. It also seems a weird way to invoke A1. Would you have acted similarly? Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 16:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

After looking at the other two EV pages to see if someone had tried to merge them, I found EVO's redirected to EVC. I dug around in the proper history and found out that EVO had been deleted in a two vote AfD, and the two votes weren't even in consensus. I don't think this was a fair AfD. How could we go about restoring the EVO page? The discussion can be found here. TwilightPhoenix ( talk) 01:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC) (aka JoshTigerheart)

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s, "B"s and "C" having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "D"s, "E"s and "F"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) ++ Lar: t/ c 18:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Wiki Doctorate is a new scheme designed to recognise the people who "do all the work" on Wikipedia. It has been mainly developed for Wikipedia administrators however if you have done lots to keep Wikipedia on "the straight and narrow", including being members of different groups which help Wikipedia i.e "The Welcoming Committee. We have selected to email you because you can apply for the doctorate and we would be very grateful if you did and put the userbox on your user page to boost advertising.

Hi again. Thanks for help in re-redirecting my posting. Also, I have created a legal sock-puppet at User:Bearian'sBooties, as you suggested at my RfA. Bearian 17:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Alright. Thanks anyway!-- Gp75motorsports 17:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...you still haven't really explained to me why there is some really good referenced articles and some which are not so great. Is it because some articles don't have to be referenced, for example a computer game...is it because of the fact that a game isn't found in a non online-encyclopedia that it therefore isn't really required to have references (or citations) as long as the info isn't copied directly and it can be proved? Anyway, I decided to talk to you directly on your talk page, both talking to you on manual of style and TomasBats page got a little to hard for me to keep up with the conversation. Any comments? -Jack 21:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, that's a good point. Hahaha, I already knew that though...I just thought that maybe there was a different reason, oh well. However, I do have another question that has come to mind, after reading your reply...Does wikipedia actually have actual employed staff that manage and contribute (emphasis on the contribute) to this encyclopedia or is it just run and watched over by people like you and me? Oh and another thing…Is paraphrasing considered a breach of copyright (ie. Shouldn’t be done on Wikipedia) when I have found on two websites, containing legal information, that it isn’t? -Jack 01:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stealth Carbon Eagle ( talk • contribs)
Since you're always right =) and seem to know a great deal about html (when I thought I did), I have a question for you. I must keep missing something, because it says "Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags." when I try to use this signature:
It gets my formerly 232 character sig down to 213 characters... if I can ever get it to work! What's wrong here? I'd greatly appreciate the help, and I know as soon as you point it out, I'll hit myself that I missed it. Thanks so much in advance! hmwith talk 22:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Welcome to Lombard wikipedia. The templates user-lmo are fully proteced as the user-en ones are at English wikipedia, if I am not wrong. I will add the interwiki link. Moreover, at that time there was a high risk of vandalism. Probably it's better they remain protected, but everything could be discussed.

Hi there, thanks for your help. Couple of problems though. The top and bottom borders are missing and the talk link doesn't work. It might be a browser issue. I'm using IE, what about you? Thanks again. Doyley Talk 15:55, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
OK, well on my original version there was a white border to provide a margin and a black border going all the way around. Without the white margin the black border was touching the text and it looked a mess. I think that is whay you are seeing as unnecessary code. Doyley Talk 16:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I have done some work on it, got rid of the border. It is now 219 characters and I think it looks a lot better. Doyley Talk 16:21, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and completely unrelated to sigs, I'd recommend switching to a different browser, such as Firefox or Safari; IE is fraught with security problems and CSS quirks. Then again, I'm highly biased against IE, as I do web development professionally; you'll never meet anyone that does any amount of CSS coding that doesn't hate IE with a burning passion. :D EVula // talk // ☯ // 16:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, I've replaced it with your version. I know what you mean, I am a professional PHP developer. I use IE simply because almost all of my clients do and I need to know how it will look on their browser. I have a dual boot with Linux on my computer though that uses Firefox.

Dear Sir- as an Admin for wikipedia you do realize that you represent wikipedia in every way. For me, you are an official mouthpiece. Thus, I wish to inform you that I am highly offended at your lack of civility and seemingly laughing at me and my very valid concerns. I have read through your request for beurcraticship and it seems many, many others share this concern. I must say it has been substantiated. Additionally, I feel that your levity in dealing with my concerns is unprofessional and unbecoming someone who is an admin. Bstone 04:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No matter if you !voted support, oppose, neutral, or even if you just stopped by to make a comment, I thank you for taking the time to drop by. Since I am a new admin, if you have any suggestions or concerns, feel free to inform me of them. Thank you and good day.
This RFA thanks was inspired by The Random Editor, who in turn was inspired by Phaedriel's RFA thanks. So unfortunately this is not entirely my own design.
This end the usual RFA thanks spam. You may return to your regular editing now.

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [5]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.
As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [6].
For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.
If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. -- Cspurrier 18:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi EVula! I´ve recently seen your account (for dealing with interwiki link issues) at the Volapùk Wikipedia. Did you know, by the way, that there is a Proposal for Closing the Volapük Wikipedia? Maybe you could help us keep it by casting a vote there against this proposal -- if you think this is a good idea?... -- Smeira 23:26, 23 tobul 2007 (UTC)

Hi EVula, I originally wrote this to respond to your comment here, but I wanted to be sensative to another editor because the situation I refer to is settled and I don't want to cause undue stress.
The most recent time I saw WP:D invoked, the response at ANI was disappointing. We should make sure the community doesn't appear to condone the use of the WP:D essay to attack other editors. I might not have as much of a problem with it, if that were to happen. But a couple of days ago on ANI, an editor complained of such a personal attack and exactly 1 other person took the time to rebuke its use in that manner (over at least 2 days). At about the same time, about 3-5 admins swooped in very quickly to defend the WP:D essay at MfD (Oh and I think 2 people at ANI took the time to tell the person complaining, that they were thin-skinned and whiny). Now the situation is resolved, and the editor realizes that he/she shouldn't have used it that way. . .but the way it went down was wrong.
I don't mean to complain to you specifically, just thought you might want to know where I'm coming from at the meta page. Take care, R. Baley 05:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
How exactly do I close deletion discussions that are ridiculous? It said delete the image because it was in the wrong article... so I moved it to the right article, and the discussion is now obsolete (no one's commented since the person who proposed it for deletion). Should I wait it out or just close it now per WP:SNOW or something? нмŵוτн τ 18:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi EVula, just now I need your help, please can you tell me what's wrong in this page, or if now does it satisfy the notability guideline? [8] Please tell me it with simple words, I'm not very able in Wikipedia. thanks -- Carlons 21:08, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
EVula, with all due respect (which is considerable, I might add): I gave it some thought beforehand and then went ahead and identically tagged each of those very similar opposes so as to (i) cry foul as vehemently as possible, out of fear that an admin might get away with this and that it might then create a precedent for other likewise inacceptable things; and (ii) to mark those opposes as being —for all relevant purposes— identical.
Reacting on a per RfA basis to Kurt Weber's "self-nom" 15 minutes, or Kelly Martin's "WikiProject endorsement" monomania wasn't any useful, imo. These "different" !votes don't each merit a different discussion on each of the RfA pages, since they are pointy and single-issue and have marginal relevance for any specific RfA. So I judged it appropriate to tag those comments rather than reacting to their validity case-by-case, with the secondary focus of informing others who had already begun to oppose per those comments.
Also, I do not believe this amounts to wikistalking or even assumption of bad faith, as Mikka suggested. I tried only to describe what I saw and what I think to be of immediate intersubjective "conveyability", namely that those are indeed disregardeable point votes.
You see, I don't care much for the wrong kind of sympathy. There's many ways to be nice, good ones and bad ones. And if an admin (who really should know better) feels compelled to start making point !votes on RfAs, there should be someone to —how formulate this as civilly as possible?— carefully pull the proverbial mop out their ass and politely beat them over the head with it.
Admin patience with normal user can grow thin, and they may then begin issuing blocks. My non-admin patience with admins can grow thin, too, but there is virtually nothing I could do. Post to ANI? Forget it. Been there, done that. It never carries any fundamental consequences. So the only opportunity to cry foul is to do it in situ.
Further, looking around a bit, things like [9], [10], [11], and [12] make me believe that the RfA comments are not such a totally isolated incident, after all. I've seen non-admins blocked for less. For example myself. Indef. Twice. Without warning. And those blocks were justified. — Dorftrot tel 16:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I do comedy, and stand-up when I get over my nervousness (things where I'm doing other people's words, I haven't the slightest nervousness about, and my own words *written*, I'm very confident about, but *performing my words* always gives me a huge bout of 'what if they don't LIKE ME?' worries). Thespian was, also, a shapeshifting superhero character I played about 23 years ago in a roleplaying game, and is a near-anagram of my real name.

Hi. I'd like to respond here to your comments from the THA Rfa. First, I'm not quite clear why you are ridiculing people's concerns. ("pathetically ridiculous") Sure, I hear that you yourself don't take it seriously. However, because some voters are concerned that THA did not take the issue seriously enough, or at least deal w/it efficiently, doesn't it undermine THA's candidacy for one of THA's main allies to not take it seriously too? I can imagine your frustration, esp since THA may well deserve to be an admin. However, for what it's worth, from my perspective your comment is to the candidate's detriment.
Second, I'm curious about your own userbox. You've drawn attention to it twice. Since some people are offended by it, and consider it inappropriate for an admin, do you plan to delete it or under what circumstances you would do so? (I've worded it this awkward way because I'm uncertain that I would request this myself.) Thanks for your consideration. Pls reply on my Talk, if you don't mind. HG | Talk 20:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Although the voting ended at 36/22/5, there was no consensus to promote, and the RfA was unsuccessful. I would like the thank you nonetheless for supporting me during the RfA, and hope that any future RfA’s proceed better than this one did. Again, I thank you for your support. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 02:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I would respectfully ask you to reconsider your oppose on Hdt's RfA. You call it "knee-jerk" and I would agree. His contribs throw up no real flags, and he seems a very friendly and civil fellow. As adminship is "no big deal", and this good editor is right on the line (68-70% right now), I'd respecfully ask you to reconsider your oppose. I've appreciated your contributions to other RfA's, and I know that you do not just canvas them with opposes. As such, I felt like you might be open to reconsidering your vote, based upon the fact that Hdt DID wait nearly 3 months this time, racked up 3000+ edits in the process, and is in general not a problem editor. Also, for the record, I am not a Wikifriend of his or anything like that. I'd never interacted with him prior to this RfA. I'm just an editor of the project, concerned with the fact that good editors are often being denied adminship. Thanks in advance for any time you spend taking another look at your vote on Hdt83. K. Scott Bailey 13:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

The editor had originally redirected the new talk page to that of a third article, but I've only been able to fix the redirect link, and not physically move the old talk page to where it should be.

Hi there, EVula. I noticed you were looking to adopt Wikipedians, and the coincidence has it, that I am looking to be adopted. I was hoping I could have the honor of calling you my daddy. So a little something about me.
I currently have a little over 2000 edits. That means I'm not fully green, but not fully ripe yet either. I am currently involved in mediation over Pro-pedophile activism. I'm not a pedophile. I do not care much about userpages, but if I had such an impressive list of how I've been insulted, I would. I'm an eventualist. I patrole newpages. I prefer salveging articles at AfD or even tagged speedy over deleting them. I prefer deleting pages over pages keeping pages that meet the CSD.
I contacted you because on your list of editors you respect/like, I came across a few where I share your oppinion. (I didn't know most though). You seem to have a sense of humor. You are very experienced both as an editor as an administrator. Let me know if you want to adopt me, or prefer for me to find someone else.

Fancy running into you here Eric...

Doing very well actually. Just dropped by the ASW boards, saw the lack of inactivity -- you did well to move on to greener pastures. My old account still works, heh. Anyways, let's see -- moved on to school (I think that's when we spoke last) and hung out with Skyblade, which was another crazy coincidence, running into him in TN. Married a girl from school and hauled her back to Miami, got some tech certs out of the way and started doing on-site support for law firms. Bounced up to Charleston this summer, to escape the cost of living.
So before I forget to say it, thank you. Thank you for being nice to me, when I was taking my first leaps onto the internet in 2000 at the tender age of 14. For giving me good feedback on my work and my posts and for actually responding when I bugged you about stuff. I haven't forgotten, and I suppose I could say it's part of the reason that I continue to treat mature kids with respect. Coreycubed ( talk) 22:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, as an aside, I've actually gone and commented against your request for bureaucrat buttons - nothing personal, of course, but I figured it might be proper to mention it, as I'm here asking after you, hehe.

Hi EVula, it's my unhappy duty to confirm that your RfB did not reach consensus. You should, of course, read over all of the questions and the responses (including your own) and pay special attention to the Opposes and Neutrals. There is a lot of valuable information there.
I would like to make a few comments I hope you will find useful; some particular to you and some that I think any prospective 'crat should consider. I believe that your handling of the RfB suggests that you are developing (or at least understand) the temperament needed in a position where you engage the broad community. If there was one thought I have had in following this RfB it is that you need more seasoning; give your 'crat-quest a rest for a while and consider the needs of the job a bit more carefully. Think of a bureaucrat as an umpire or referee. If you make a decision be sure before you make it that it is your best judgment, that it is defensible in policy, that you are confident in it so that you can defend it to the death (figuratively, I hope), and that you stick to it. We have had 'crats resign after especially poor decisions or because they didn't feel up to the heat. This is a process which requires faith in its fairness and accuracy. There have been and probably still are some who would try to take many 'crat decisions to other fora in the hopes of overturning it if they could. This would make the job infinitely harder, the process [even?] more political and faith in it would suffer.
On a more personal level I'd like to make a few comments: I appreciate your sense of humor and the fact that you can look at the world and Wikipedia with a certain lightness. It is a good quality and should add years to your life (no kidding). I also am noted for an ironic (and deadpan) sense of humor which has sometimes caused me a little trouble. Sometimes you'll see it in my off-Rfx work. But RfA/RfB is not a good place for it. In answering questions, don't make the reader read between the lines or look for a smiley. You may well be thinking playful sarcasm, but the reader may be thinking mixed message (to be kind). Should you attain 'cratitude, expect to be attacked early and often. In time, as trust in you builds, you can expect the attacks to be fewer, or at least a little less vituperative. You see how my straightforward question about the anon question was attacked as bad faith in a display of bad faith. That's just the tip of the iceberg. So practice making straightforward responses and leave out the levity unless there is no chance whatever of an ironic response being viewed as genuine. I also think it would be worthwhile to consider dropping the insults and threats rundown from your user space, and be more sensitive that there are quite a few people, notwithstanding the humor of Seinfeld's Soup Nazi, who, because of age, location, or experience, never find certain symbols humorous. -- Cecropia ( talk) 09:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, and Happy Holidays! As far as referencing and citing is concerned, the Princess Leia article is coming along very nicely, I think. One thing I need help with, though: In this section of the article, I've described Leia's unusual hairdo from A New Hope and the impact it has made. Unfortunately, I can't find any image of Leia's hairdo in the Wikicommons. I'd say that section of the article needs more visual identification over that subject, as there's currently only one pic of said hairdo, but it appears much earlier on the page, it's fairly small, and it's a group shot with her and the other two main characters.

After looking at the other two EV pages to see if someone had tried to merge them, I found EVO's redirected to EVC.

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes.

EVula a while ago a user had place a message on my talkpage saying.
"May I please ask never ever again edit my user page?
Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)"
At first i've thought he tried to blame me for editing his userpage which i didn't but i've re-checked his logs and it appears he's getting fed-up because of vandalism on his userpage.

EVula, will anyone have any objections for me to edit or add things to my secondary user Yun-Shuno. →Yun-Yuu zhan→ 17:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Did you used to work for Ambrosia? If so, I owe you a debt of thanks - Maelstrom, Escape Velocity, and Chiral were all bad-ass. In fact, I'd probably be a lot farther along in my career and life if they had never existed. So maybe "debt of thanks" isn't the right phrase... MastCell Talk 21:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Wiki Doctorate is a new scheme designed to recognise the people who "do all the work" on Wikipedia. It has been mainly developed for Wikipedia administrators however if you have done lots to keep Wikipedia on "the straight and narrow", including being members of different groups which help Wikipedia i.e "The Welcoming Committee. We have selected to email you because you can apply for the doctorate and we would be very grateful if you did and put the userbox on your user page to boost advertising. The following link will take you straight to our homepage.
Yours sincerely
