Hi,
I was attempting to update this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Al_Issawi to which your contributions were crucial. I messed it up. This is what I was trying to do:
Add http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/plohistoryofrevolution/ as a link for "A 6-part English-language version began airing on Al Jazeera English on July 13, 2009 under the title PLO: History of a Revolution"
Also add http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/plohistoryofrevolution/2009/07/200975115813478323.html as a link to after "Al-Issawi penned a "making of" article to go with the program"
And finally http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/2009/05/2009527115531294628.html at the end of this sentence: "Al-Issawi has been an occasional analyst for Al Jazeera's English-language channel, commenting on Lebanese affairs, and has contributed to its website".
You assisted graciously before. Would you be kind enough to do so once again?
Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1inthedesert ( talk • contribs) 08:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Regardless of whether or not your RfA passes, I would recommend taking a look at WP:WIHSD. The speed at which you tagged some items had me somewhat concerned, eg within minutes of the articles creation, but as there was nothing that jumped out at me as incorrect I didn't hold that against you. I just want you to be congnizant of the reasons why people have negative interactions with Speedy Deleters and understand how you might be able to emerge among the best of the CSD'ers rather than the worst. I definitely see the potential in you, I just don't see enough to assuage my concerns.--- Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 21:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Since this is about the same topic, I'm just going to put it in the same section. I noticed in your RfA you mentioned you would work on CSD stuff. You didn't specifically mention file CSDs, but if you do eventually work on them, I suggest you get more experience first. I noticed you don't apparently don't have any edits to the File namespace.-- Rockfang ( talk) 22:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WJBscribe (talk) 17:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations on passing the RFA. I was impressed by you contributions and your conduct during the RFA. You might want to check out {{ admin dashboard}}. I keep a link to it up next to my watchlist. The long list of CAT:SD candidates can be daunting at times. All the best. Plastikspork ( talk) 17:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Maith thú! Keep up the good work. Stanstaple ( talk) 18:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy: |

Hi there; whether we do or do not delete redirects generated by good-faith miss-spellings is very much a matter of personal choice. You will appreciate that any word can have a potentially very large number of possible spelling errors possible. I take the view that any editor who seeks via a miss-spelling should realise his error and correct it. I will concede that a redirect of this type takes up only a small amount of server memory, and would not dogmatically insist either on deletion or retention. If you find one which you feel should be retained, just remove the tag. No-one will complain. -- Anthony.bradbury "talk" 12:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I tried to rescuse Push Play from speedy deletion earlier, but I couldn't find any reliable sources. I know they're not one of the hundred MySpace bands that get A7'ed every day...they show up on my Pandora stream every once in awhile. I suspect they'll be notable at some point, but not yet... MirrorLockup ( talk) 23:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
I found 'some' reliable sources that inply that it does exist i hope it's enough (for now) for you to consider dropping the deletion charges. while i find more sources and futher improve the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julian Grebe ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice fribber, I did not know there was a reference desk here at all. I will check it out.-- Enikk ( talk) 18:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
