Hello DM, just letting you know I've decided to fail EarthBound. It's not something I enjoyed doing, there's really not a lot left to do. But, since Nojr must be busy IRL, it seems pointless to leave it there and keep checking every day. Anyone can look at the remaining minor issues, fix and renominate for a (hopefully) quick GAN.

Hiya, sorry - this is a bit spammy. You recently commented at my talk page regarding my proposal for a mentoring process that takes us away from "admin coaching" and moves towards a process to provide a support system to help editors who wish it become effective, high quality administrators, and not an administrator for the sake of it.

Hi there. I'm new to GA review, but I guess I know how to pick 'em. For my 5th review I chose White Mountain art. You may have seen the comments on the GAN talk page. The review has been rather confusing. I wrote a review, but neglected to check to see that it was still nominated. Although I found what I considered to be multiple issues with MOS, OR and POV, it had been passed by another editor, User:Jack Bethune. User:Malleus Fatuarum delisted it and I posted my comments on the talk page and put the article on hold. Jack Bethune, in turn, took my suggestions and recommended, disagreed with, or advised the principal author to disregard my comments. The principal author, User:JohnJHenderson is now understandably confused. So I'm asking for experienced GA reviewers to look at the article and the talk page and offer some kind of consensus as to what he should do to bring it to GA. I appreciate anything you can do. Thanks. -- Moni3 ( talk) 01:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Dihydrogen Monoxide...Several people have expressed an interest in my next probable nomination for adminship. Messaging people when it happens would look a lot like canvassing, so I would prefer not doing that. If you are interested in it, you could add this to your watchlist. If it is created, you will know, maybe even before I do depending on how often you check your watchlist. If you wish to gush prior to it being officially up, have fun, but only when it happens please. I am in no particular rush. Have a very nice day! :) - LA @ 09:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC) |

Hello there. At the moment, I am working on the Unreal Tournament article (want to get it to GA, then FA). So far, I have added a "Reception" section, and a new System Requirements table. Bits of the new re-written article are lingering in my sandbox at User:Wackymacs/Sandbox2- None of the new Gameplay section has been implemented yet.

You'd be surprised what I get accused of at times, offline that is. I think you're a minor (correct me if I'm wrong there mate, sorry), so I won't go into too much detail just now... -- Longhair\ talk 09:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I have been thinking about this a little, but not to make things easier for others. I was slightly frustrated that because someone copied my images to the commons (something I am fine with, of course, because I license them as public domain) that my original upload to wikipedia was then deleted. Essentially it is insignificant, but now the record of my contributions to wikipedia has been reduced through no action of mine.
At the moment I am not interested in contributing to other wikimedia foundation projects. I just want to build a good encyclopedia. I feel that it is the foundations responsibility to coordinate information sharing between projects and based on this principle it is someone else's concern. Does that make sense or is using the commons so simple that I really should upload to it, especially since I agree with its aims of freely sharing media? - Shiftchange ( talk) 10:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

First up, thanks for the Barnstar - its much appreciated.
Secondly:
I have no idea how to nom Daddy Cool for DYK, I would be honoured if you could assist here. Probably a fact about "Eagle Rock" would be good e.g. . . .Australian 1970s band Daddy Cool's debut single, "Eagle Rock" remained at #1 on the National Singles Chart for a (then) record ten weeks. It was replaced by the song for which they were named, "Daddy Cool" performed in Chipmunks style by Drummond (aka Mississippi later Little River Band)...
If length permits one could include that the original 1957 version of "Daddy Cool" was by US doo-wop group The Rays.
I believe but can't prove, verify or ref it that this would be the only time in music history where a #1 song by a band is replaced by a tribute song titled with that band's name. Shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 21:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I wasn't sure whether to put it at top of noms list for 9 May or at bottom: there seems to be no distinct order, there was no entry for 10 May. Even though I started "improving" Daddy Cool on 7 May I opted for 9 May when it was first 5 times or more than when I got there. It's now about 6 times that size.
BTW I'm going to rate Daddy Cool at B class now. Shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 22:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

It's been recommended that I get the opinion of a non-StarCraft player on this article, and since you previously said you know absolutely nothing about it, you're a prime candidate :).

Hi, Giggy.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support in both of my requests, and thank you for particular brand of ever-so-slightly irreverent humor that helps remind us that wikipedia supposed be be a labor of fun and love. -- Avi ( talk) 16:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

H2O, I was thinking of asking you about GA mentoring, after the recent issues we've had with FACs. I'm not really into starting articles from scratch, but do really enjoy either cheanup work or collaborative work with others to hone an article to perfection. To help out with this, I was thinking of getting into GAN, peer review and possibly some FAC work more. It also means that I can review articles on the train during my commute home from work :).
If you'd be interested in helping put together a mentoring programme for me, I'd be interested. I'm glad to help out, and it's something that I'm interested in doing, when I get a chance. Many thanks, Gazimoff Write Read 22:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

At Portal:Chicago, User:Cirt and I have been debating about the main imagery. There seems to be a current trend toward having a dynamic set of rotating images. Although the majority of WP:FPOs promoted last month had this feature, no current WP:FPOCs use this feature. He is in favor of converting the Chicago Portal in this manner using Portal:Chicago/Intro/Image. I have been against such a trend. We have debated on the portal talk page and our detailed opinions are there. In short, he thinks the feature adds dynamic artistic flair. I think that although the dynamic feature is good for giving variety in other sections of the portal, it is against the encyclopedic intent of the Portal because it does not introduce the portal to everyone in with the best summary. Does FPOC have a policy or do you as a director have an opinion?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 18:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at the article on singer madonna. It is currently a GA article but im quite sure it no longer meets that standard. On a quick scan, the lead is poor, there are a number of unreliable sources, a number of unformatted sources and the article is too long. Its unnessarly long, its 105,000 bytes while the Michael Jackson article is 92,000 (a great accomplishment considering his complex public life). Admittedly its not fair to compare the two articles that way but i think you will see that the madonna article no longer meets the criteria. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers. I have also left this message to Geometry Guy. Realist2 ( 'Come Speak To Me') 02:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I can only get it to recognize templates without hyphens within the name. For instance, WPOHIO is recognized while OH-Project is not.

I would like to thank you for this page you have created. I was thinking of making one exactly like this until I found you had already made one, and you've said everything which needs to be said. Hopefully people will read this and start to respect Kurt's opinion. I find it disgusting that people don't respect what Kurt thinks, and even I myself don't agree with Kurt at times, but it's his opinion, and I, along with the rest of Wikipedia, should respect what he has to say, especially in a discussion. Thanks again, from myself and many others, I'm sure. Jack ?! 14:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Without taking a side on the personal attack issue, I would point out that I don't condone or intend to defend straight out personal attacks. I would also point out that Kurt's comments could be read as personal attacks (I don't consider them to be so, but it's subjective), in the same sense, and again IMO, using his RfA from over a year ago as evidence against him (as done here) is equally a personal attack in that sense.

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.
1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...
2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.
3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.
Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Just noting that it has now been 10 days since I last posted my sourcing objections, and the nominator has yet to address a single issue. He's certainly been active on Wikipedia, so it doesn't look like time constraints is the issue here. In my opinion, the sourcing issues I raised would mar the article from meeting even GA standards, as a large chunk of the article's beginning (the part I checked in-depth) misrepresents the contents of the references. Budding Journalist 17:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, H20, good luck on your RfA, i voted to support you. A few weeks ago, you quick failed the above song i nominated for GA. Admittedly it was a little slack on depth. Since then ive expanded the lead and the "music video" section. Im not really sure what else to add, would you mind taking a look at it and giving a few suggestions before i renominate it. On the talk page you did link me to an article to find inspiration but that was an FA article. I have no intention of getting "Feedback" to FA - ever. I always find singles hard, albums and artists are so much easier. I look forward to your thoughts, cheers. -- Realist2 ( Come Speak To Me) 19:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Water, Could you do me a favor. I'm working with a coachee who has a history of having images deleted. His last few images have not been deleted, but he had about 20 deleted in November. Images are not an area where I am strong, could you come over to his coaching page and give us BOTH a tutorial on images?

I'm not sure there's anything that would change my mind in particular, I mean, I've seen your edits and I've seen you around elsewhere and almost everything i've seen is good. However, if a point has been raised about racist comments (i'm not sure about how substantial these claims are, but I trust OrangeMarlin just as much as I trust your opinion) then I have to take it into account, IMHO. If you could point out which incidents he is referring to then I may be able to further make up my mind.
That said, the incidents were supposedly 'off-wiki' and I may switch to support for that reason. To be honest, as you may be able to tell, i'm really unsure, thus the neutrality. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 09:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Where can I begin? From the earliest time I can remember, you've been helping me out and being the epitome of a "Wiki-Friend". I think the first time we met was on Talk:Saxophone, where I was having some trouble with my first GA review; you came in with the second opinion. Since then, you nominated me for adminship (when yours comes along, provided I'm not out of the country for the Northern Hemisphere summer, I'll co-nom), reviewed three/four of my articles at GAN, contributed at the GAN, PR, and FAC for Gilberto Gil, my first FA attempt (which sadly didn't pass, tear...), and answered enumerable questions plus did some not-so-serious things. You certainly deserve this. Kakofonous ( talk) 22:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC) |
I mean this in the best possible way - are you sure you want to be an admin? In my opinion you're an excellent contributor. Once adminship settles in much of your time may be diverted away from editing and towards blocking people and arguing with trolls, not fun at all. If you feel you've already given much/the majority of your expertise to wikipedia then this might be a natural evolution, but by the looks of it you still have plenty of input to give.
Also, (and i want to say this in the most unpatronising way), I notice from your user page that you're still quite young. Remember there is much to achieve in life outside of wikipedia. You may find adminship takes up even more of your time. Is this what you really want? And you seem like a pretty bright person: are you applying yourself as well to other things? For the record i'm also one of the younger wikipedians here.
Wikipedia is a noble project and i appreciate your contributions and enthusiasm. Maybe this is quite a heavy response to a nomination for admin: but make sure you make the most of yourself and the time you have.
Ps. It was neither my intention to patronise nor anger you, only to make you think a little. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 15:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick note to let you know that I elaborated a bit at your RfA on my comment there. I also wanted to say, given recent events, that I haven't had any on- or off-wiki contact with anyone regarding anything related to you or your RfA. It's sad to feel the need to say that. Canvassing people to oppose an RfA is just wrong, and I'm sorry that you're having to deal with it in yours. Anyhow, my opinion is just... my opinion; your RfA looks likely to succeed, so take it for whatever you believe it to be worth. Best of luck. MastCell Talk 16:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm new to GA review, but I guess I know how to pick 'em. For my 5th review I chose White Mountain art. You may have seen the comments on the GAN talk page. The review has been rather confusing. I wrote a review, but neglected to check to see that it was still nominated. Although I found what I considered to be multiple issues with MOS, OR and POV, it had been passed by another editor, User:Jack Bethune. User:Malleus Fatuarum delisted it and I posted my comments on the talk page and put the article on hold. Jack Bethune, in turn, took my suggestions and recommended, disagreed with, or advised the principal author to disregard my comments. The principal author, User:JohnJHenderson is now understandably confused. So I'm asking for experienced GA reviewers to look at the article and the talk page and offer some kind of consensus as to what he should do to bring it to GA. I appreciate anything you can do.

I have been thinking about this a little, but not to make things easier for others. I was slightly frustrated that because someone copied my images to the commons (something I am fine with, of course, because I license them as public domain) that my original upload to wikipedia was then deleted. Essentially it is insignificant, but now the record of my contributions to wikipedia has been reduced through no action of mine.
At the moment I am not interested in contributing to other wikimedia foundation projects. I just want to build a good encyclopedia. I feel that it is the foundations responsibility to coordinate information sharing between projects and based on this principle it is someone else's concern. Does that make sense or is using the commons so simple that I really should upload to it, especially since I agree with its aims of freely sharing media? - Shiftchange ( talk) 10:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

First up, thanks for the Barnstar - its much appreciated.
Secondly:
I have no idea how to nom Daddy Cool for DYK, I would be honoured if you could assist here. Probably a fact about "Eagle Rock" would be good e.g. . . .Australian 1970s band Daddy Cool's debut single, "Eagle Rock" remained at #1 on the National Singles Chart for a (then) record ten weeks. It was replaced by the song for which they were named, "Daddy Cool" performed in Chipmunks style by Drummond (aka Mississippi later Little River Band)...
If length permits one could include that the original 1957 version of "Daddy Cool" was by US doo-wop group The Rays.
I believe but can't prove, verify or ref it that this would be the only time in music history where a #1 song by a band is replaced by a tribute song titled with that band's name. Shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 21:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I wasn't sure whether to put it at top of noms list for 9 May or at bottom: there seems to be no distinct order, there was no entry for 10 May. Even though I started "improving" Daddy Cool on 7 May I opted for 9 May when it was first 5 times or more than when I got there. It's now about 6 times that size.
BTW I'm going to rate Daddy Cool at B class now. Shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 22:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

It's been recommended that I get the opinion of a non-StarCraft player on this article, and since you previously said you know absolutely nothing about it, you're a prime candidate :). Would you mind giving the gameplay section a look over for me? Its a bit on the short side, but as its an expansion pack there's not much to say on it. Is what's there sufficient? Do you have any pointers for expansion? I'd also appreciate it if you could just read through the synopsis section and tell me if it mostly makes sense as someone who has not played the game. Thanks. -- Sabre ( talk) 10:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

OK I got it now - having manually tagged x 000 oz cats - when i started over a year ago - the template preferred the NA - and youll find em everywhere (the buggers) - but when one of the template whizzes did the class=cat (which should now be the oz project standard) - there is no need to put the importance=NA = cos if you look at the class cat category discussions pages - there is no sign of importance - I knew I was seeing something wrong when you went of on that gigg burst - however you may well have some weird and wonderful reason why you did it that way - but sure hope it dosnt screw up in the template area - but from my experience there is no need - cheers Satu Suro 06:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Giggy.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your support in both of my requests, and thank you for particular brand of ever-so-slightly irreverent humor that helps remind us that wikipedia supposed be be a labor of fun and love. -- Avi ( talk) 16:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi DHMO; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral.

It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

H2O, I was thinking of asking you about GA mentoring, after the recent issues we've had with FACs. I'm not really into starting articles from scratch, but do really enjoy either cheanup work or collaborative work with others to hone an article to perfection. To help out with this, I was thinking of getting into GAN, peer review and possibly some FAC work more. It also means that I can review articles on the train during my commute home from work :).
If you'd be interested in helping put together a mentoring programme for me, I'd be interested. I'm glad to help out, and it's something that I'm interested in doing, when I get a chance. Many thanks, Gazimoff Write Read 22:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

At Portal:Chicago, User:Cirt and I have been debating about the main imagery. There seems to be a current trend toward having a dynamic set of rotating images. Although the majority of WP:FPOs promoted last month had this feature, no current WP:FPOCs use this feature. He is in favor of converting the Chicago Portal in this manner using Portal:Chicago/Intro/Image. I have been against such a trend. We have debated on the portal talk page and our detailed opinions are there. In short, he thinks the feature adds dynamic artistic flair. I think that although the dynamic feature is good for giving variety in other sections of the portal, it is against the encyclopedic intent of the Portal because it does not introduce the portal to everyone in with the best summary. Does FPOC have a policy or do you as a director have an opinion?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 18:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Would you mind taking a look at the article on singer madonna. It is currently a GA article but im quite sure it no longer meets that standard. On a quick scan, the lead is poor, there are a number of unreliable sources, a number of unformatted sources and the article is too long. Its unnessarly long, its 105,000 bytes while the Michael Jackson article is 92,000 (a great accomplishment considering his complex public life). Admittedly its not fair to compare the two articles that way but i think you will see that the madonna article no longer meets the criteria. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers.

I can only get it to recognize templates without hyphens within the name. For instance, WPOHIO is recognized while OH-Project is not.

I've fixed the article according to your comments. For the "car fanatics" vs. "race fans", it seems what Famitsu and the other critics meant was that the game is aimed more at fans of purely realistic simulations rather than arcade-style, easy-to-pick racing games. Please comment when you have the time. Kariteh ( talk) 12:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I fixed most things. Ultra! 15:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
The editer has made a good attempt. However they have marked some of my comments as DONE when they still need improvement. I added comments saying that it wasnt sufficient. Ive left comments there, im considering going through it myself removing crappy sources/dead links and adding Fact tags. Also i might add fact tags to sections that need sourcing point blank. Leave your thoughts regarding this at the madonna review. -- Realist2 ( Come Speak To Me) 19:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
As you have expertise with portals (i.e., Portal:Music of Australia), could you help me with randomization on Portal:Percussion? I am totally fazed by {{ Random portal component}}, but want to randomize content so I don't have to add new subpages every month in order for the portal to work.

Well, User:The359, who nominated the article, asked me if I could hold off in reviewing the article, since the user seems to be the one who makes changes here and there in the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:53, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I think it's about ready now, and all major issues have been addressed. User:Andrewlp1991 is still adding extra info and doing minor restructuring, but these are general improvements and I think the article is now at, if not above, GA standards. Thanks. Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 00:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you think is wrong, but I have explained a few things on the talk page.-- andreasegde ( talk) 20:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for this page you have created. I was thinking of making one exactly like this until I found you had already made one, and you've said everything which needs to be said. Hopefully people will read this and start to respect Kurt's opinion. I find it disgusting that people don't respect what Kurt thinks, and even I myself don't agree with Kurt at times, but it's his opinion, and I, along with the rest of Wikipedia, should respect what he has to say, especially in a discussion. Thanks again, from myself and many others, I'm sure. Jack ?! 14:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Without taking a side on the personal attack issue, I would point out that I don't condone or intend to defend straight out personal attacks. I would also point out that Kurt's comments could be read as personal attacks (I don't consider them to be so, but it's subjective), in the same sense, and again IMO, using his RfA from over a year ago as evidence against him (as done here) is equally a personal attack in that sense. My thoughts. By the way, I'm giggling to myself at the widespread linkage that the essay has received. Maybe I was right about RfA for once! :O (I doubt it :) dihydrogen monoxide ( H2O) 23:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to review the article, and thanks for noting your concerns. I believe I've addressed all of them (see talk page). Take a look when you get a chance. — Zeagler ( talk) 14:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I've now fixed the article and expanded the reception section according to your comments. Note that I moved one of the boss image to the reception section, not to make it look bigger (although it happens to, I guess) but because it's more relevant there. Please comment when you have the time! Kariteh ( talk) 17:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.
1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...
2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.
3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.
Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking up this GAN! I've fixed a few issues (see article's talk page), but due to time restraints I have today, I probably won't be able to do too much. I'll try my best to fix them as soon as possible! -- haha169 ( talk) 18:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I have fixed everything you mentioned, with the exception of one or two, which needs a response. The article itself is really long because of the comparison tables, and I think adding more information would be useless and a waste of space. -- haha169 ( talk) 05:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Just noting that it has now been 10 days since I last posted my sourcing objections, and the nominator has yet to address a single issue. He's certainly been active on Wikipedia, so it doesn't look like time constraints is the issue here. In my opinion, the sourcing issues I raised would mar the article from meeting even GA standards, as a large chunk of the article's beginning (the part I checked in-depth) misrepresents the contents of the references. Budding Journalist 17:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, H20, good luck on your RfA, i voted to support you. A few weeks ago, you quick failed the above song i nominated for GA. Admittedly it was a little slack on depth. Since then ive expanded the lead and the "music video" section. Im not really sure what else to add, would you mind taking a look at it and giving a few suggestions before i renominate it. On the talk page you did link me to an article to find inspiration but that was an FA article. I have no intention of getting "Feedback" to FA - ever. I always find singles hard, albums and artists are so much easier. I look forward to your thoughts, cheers. -- Realist2 ( Come Speak To Me) 19:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Water, Could you do me a favor. I'm working with a coachee who has a history of having images deleted. His last few images have not been deleted, but he had about 20 deleted in November. Images are not an area where I am strong, could you come over to his coaching page and give us BOTH a tutorial on images?

I'm not sure there's anything that would change my mind in particular, I mean, I've seen your edits and I've seen you around elsewhere and almost everything i've seen is good. However, if a point has been raised about racist comments (i'm not sure about how substantial these claims are, but I trust OrangeMarlin just as much as I trust your opinion) then I have to take it into account, IMHO. If you could point out which incidents he is referring to then I may be able to further make up my mind.
That said, the incidents were supposedly 'off-wiki' and I may switch to support for that reason. To be honest, as you may be able to tell, i'm really unsure, thus the neutrality. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 09:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar | ||
Where can I begin? From the earliest time I can remember, you've been helping me out and being the epitome of a "Wiki-Friend". I think the first time we met was on Talk:Saxophone, where I was having some trouble with my first GA review; you came in with the second opinion. Since then, you nominated me for adminship (when yours comes along, provided I'm not out of the country for the Northern Hemisphere summer, I'll co-nom), reviewed three/four of my articles at GAN, contributed at the GAN, PR, and FAC for Gilberto Gil, my first FA attempt (which sadly didn't pass, tear...), and answered enumerable questions plus did some not-so-serious things. You certainly deserve this. Kakofonous ( talk) 22:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC) |
I mean this in the best possible way - are you sure you want to be an admin? In my opinion you're an excellent contributor. Once adminship settles in much of your time may be diverted away from editing and towards blocking people and arguing with trolls, not fun at all. If you feel you've already given much/the majority of your expertise to wikipedia then this might be a natural evolution, but by the looks of it you still have plenty of input to give.
Also, (and i want to say this in the most unpatronising way), I notice from your user page that you're still quite young. Remember there is much to achieve in life outside of wikipedia. You may find adminship takes up even more of your time. Is this what you really want? And you seem like a pretty bright person: are you applying yourself as well to other things? For the record i'm also one of the younger wikipedians here.
Wikipedia is a noble project and i appreciate your contributions and enthusiasm. Maybe this is quite a heavy response to a nomination for admin: but make sure you make the most of yourself and the time you have.
Ps. It was neither my intention to patronise nor anger you, only to make you think a little. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 15:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick note to let you know that I elaborated a bit at your RfA on my comment there. I also wanted to say, given recent events, that I haven't had any on- or off-wiki contact with anyone regarding anything related to you or your RfA. It's sad to feel the need to say that. Canvassing people to oppose an RfA is just wrong, and I'm sorry that you're having to deal with it in yours. Anyhow, my opinion is just... my opinion; your RfA looks likely to succeed, so take it for whatever you believe it to be worth. Best of luck. MastCell Talk 16:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
