Thank you for the trust you placed in me by supporting my RfA (which passed and, apparently, I am now an admin!). I will do my best to continue to act in a way that is consistent with the policies of wikipedia as well with our common desire to build and perfect this repository of human knowledge; and can only hope that you never feel that your trust was misplaced.

Was getting rid of some edit summary vandalism -- back now. NawlinWiki ( talk) 00:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
User:Gogo Dodo deleted an article I created ostensibly under notability guidelines with no debate or any chance for me to respond to his allegation. Notability guidelines as I understand them are loose enough that in the case of the article that was deleted, the bare minimum of politeness would have necessitated some period of debate or discussion as to determine notability. His "contribution" was certainly not constructive and yet no one is affixing warnings to his talk page. This is a great way to drive new editors away and to restrict Wikipedia into the oligarchical domain of a nerd elite. Mbroderick271 ( talk) 02:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I have seen the back-and-forth on this page. I don't have time right now to look at this situation in detail, but I would like to make a couple of quick observations. First, Iamawesome800 is right that in general, there is no rule against a user's removing notes or warnings from his or her own talkpage. Second, from seeing the last couple of edit summaries, I sense a blow-up about to happen here. Can I strongly suggest everyone dropping this for tonight. If anyone wants more input, I can provide it tomorrow. Thanks! Newyorkbrad ( talk) 03:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

What's with the edits on the Casey Bramlet page? Casey did not play for Hamburg in 2006. He played for them in 2005 and 2007. So, it looks inaccurate to put Hamburg Sea Devils (2005–2007), rather than Hamburg Sea Devils (2005, 2007). Also, he was a full squad member in 2004 for Cincinnati. So, I didn't want to put the asterisk outside the whole box as he was just an offseason member in 2005. Putting Cincinnati Bengals (2004, 2005*) appears more accurate than Cincinnati Bengals (2004–2005)*. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyo44wyo ( talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I've posted a general apology in my withdrawal statement at the Oversight election page, but I felt that as a contributor you deserve an individual apology too.
It was not my intention to let the election begin without a statement, but an IT gremlin "ate" my first attempt at posting there some hours before the election was to begin and then unforseeable RL issues prevented me from getting back to it until too late.

Hey, a guy I know named Malik Jackson told me he expects to sign with Calgary this year. He was a linebacker at Louisville and went to camp with Oakland last year as an undrafted free agent but didn't make the team.
My request is that if/when he signs, you let me create the article. I had before, but it was deleted for failing WP:ATHLETE and probably rightly so. Thanks.► Chris Nelson Holla! 18:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article. | |

Hi Giants, Congrats on the new name, I remember a while back making a mental note that your maturity level was way more than your old name implied to boring old people like me. Have you considered taking this test? It seems to be a bit out of fashion (and possibly some bits could be out of date), but I found it useful when I was first contemplating running.

I don't get why you do this. You are not changing the article and templates that simply make links should be substituted since they will not need updating. Wikipedia:Template namespace. DoubleBlue ( talk) 22:41, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I will absolutely not permit the moves to the dab (Canadian football), it is against the dab conventions to describe the person rather than the sport between the brackets and is harmfully over-precise about the code of football when such precision is unnecessary when there is no other football player with the same name and misleading when the player has played multiple codes or is not of the same nationality as the code of football. WP:NCSP summarizes the situation well. There is no good reason to use (Canadian football) in any of the cases you used. DoubleBlue ( talk) 15:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I am curious where you found that Drew Tate and Toby Zeigler were released. If you are basing it off the Riders roster on Riderville.com, I wouldn't use that as the basis for anything. The Riders are notorious for not updating it or removing players who have been moved to other lists. I am not doubting your info, just curious as it has not been reported on any Riders related site I can find.
Also, since the free agent market has just opened, is it not better to hide the text of the free agents, instead of deleting the player and readding him when he re-signs? Unlike the NFL, CFL free agency is a longer process where players generally do not sign immediately. Its not uncommon for a player to re-sign with his team a day or two before training camp, even if he had no intention of going elsewhere. Shootmaster 44 ( talk) 02:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Vancouver College is not a university. College does not mean university in Canada; it often means a community college#Canada where you can earn a diploma, a particular campus of a university, or even a high school, as in the case of Vancouver College. DoubleBlue ( talk) 17:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Not really sure how this works, but I'll give it a try. I think my blurb on Mr. Selig was sufficiently neutral, at least not to warrant speedy deletion. I suppose this falls under (5) although I genuinely care about both Wikipedia and baseball, and wouldn't willingly sacrifice either one to a moment of Wikipedia editing glory. Jrcathro ( talk) 03:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
What was the correction here? Featured articles like Tyrone Wheatley, Jacques Plante, and Wayne Gretzky all begin with the "is a professional ... player" construction and WP:LEAD#First sentence suggests for the very first sentence to say who it is and why he's notable; i.e. professional ( WP:ATHLETE) football player. Your thoughts? (I'll watch your page.) DoubleBlue ( talk) 04:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry man, but that just doesn't make sense. If you want them in the CFL free agent category, add the category to the list at the bottom. Giles is also an NFL free agent, and was more recently employed by an NFL team. So why do we give the CFL cat but have the NFL one removed? Infoboxes aren't to add categories. If they do, fine, but you don't change them just to put a guy in a cat. Just add the cat.► Chris Nelson Holla! 00:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Giants, re Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Cryptic C62 as Pedro has struck his oppose you might want to revisit your "Oppose per Pedro". I'm not suggesting you have to switch as Pedro has done, but I would suggest going back having a think and revising either your reason or your position.

Don't make the move at midnight, that has nothing to do with anything. That's just the first time it can happen, but it still has to be reported as having happened to pass WP:VERIFY.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Like I said before, the deal doesn't happen at midnight. The deal happens when it happens, which is any time after midnight. Could be right away, could be any time Friday, could be after that. We add it here when it's reported as happened, not at midnight. You say it will happen in about an hour and a half, but that's just not true.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
This is getting annoying. You're in such a hurry to be the one to make the edits that you're adding stuff before it's official. You've done it with Jason Brown like five times today, you did it with the Rosenfels thing, you did it with Michael Boley. Just calm down. It's Wikipedia. There's plenty of time to make the edits when the time comes.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I am not doubting your info, just curious as it has not been reported on any Riders related site I can find.
Also, since the free agent market has just opened, is it not better to hide the text of the free agents, instead of deleting the player and readding him when he re-signs? Unlike the NFL, CFL free agency is a longer process where players generally do not sign immediately. Its not uncommon for a player to re-sign with his team a day or two before training camp, even if he had no intention of going elsewhere. Shootmaster 44 ( talk) 02:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Vancouver College is not a university. College does not mean university in Canada; it often means a community college#Canada where you can earn a diploma, a particular campus of a university, or even a high school, as in the case of Vancouver College.

Not really sure how this works, but I'll give it a try. I think my blurb on Mr. Selig was sufficiently neutral, at least not to warrant speedy deletion. I suppose this falls under (5) although I genuinely care about both Wikipedia and baseball, and wouldn't willingly sacrifice either one to a moment of Wikipedia editing glory.

What was the correction here? Featured articles like Tyrone Wheatley, Jacques Plante, and Wayne Gretzky all begin with the "is a professional ... player" construction and WP:LEAD#First sentence suggests for the very first sentence to say who it is and why he's notable; i.e. professional ( WP:ATHLETE) football player. Your thoughts? (I'll watch your page.) DoubleBlue ( talk) 04:41, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi
I didn't redirect
User:SQL/RfX Report since it always been floated to the right. With the redirect, it will now be a regular block element, which will make a number of page layouts change.
Cheers,

Sorry man, but that just doesn't make sense. If you want them in the CFL free agent category, add the category to the list at the bottom. Giles is also an NFL free agent, and was more recently employed by an NFL team. So why do we give the CFL cat but have the NFL one removed? Infoboxes aren't to add categories. If they do, fine, but you don't change them just to put a guy in a cat. Just add the cat.► Chris Nelson Holla! 00:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
This week, the Wikipedia Signpost published volume 5, issue 8, which includes these articles:
The kinks are still being worked out in a new design for these Signpost deliveries, and we apologize for the plain format for this week.

Hey. Do you really intend to keep both roster templates up to date? It seems like a waste of resources to me. Why not just link to the roster?
Did you intend to remove the WP:Persondata here? DoubleBlue ( talk) 03:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent support in the Oversight election, in which I was successful. I have begun to get my feet wet there and will do everything possible to reflect the community's trust in me. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Please fix your edit to the Cardinals players that have not been re-signed, only tendered.► Chris Nelson Holla! 22:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Giants, re Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Cryptic C62 as Pedro has struck his oppose you might want to revisit your "Oppose per Pedro". I'm not suggesting you have to switch as Pedro has done, but I would suggest going back having a think and revising either your reason or your position.

Don't make the move at midnight, that has nothing to do with anything. That's just the first time it can happen, but it still has to be reported as having happened to pass WP:VERIFY.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Like I said before, the deal doesn't happen at midnight. The deal happens when it happens, which is any time after midnight. Could be right away, could be any time Friday, could be after that. We add it here when it's reported as happened, not at midnight. You say it will happen in about an hour and a half, but that's just not true.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
This is getting annoying. You're in such a hurry to be the one to make the edits that you're adding stuff before it's official. You've done it with Jason Brown like five times today, you did it with the Rosenfels thing, you did it with Michael Boley. Just calm down. It's Wikipedia. There's plenty of time to make the edits when the time comes.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
