You might want to look at this, if you haven't seen it already -- relist and I'm happy to give it a full review. -- Batard0 ( talk) 18:07, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Stalwart111 has given you some Nice Koekjes which promote fellowship, goodwill and WikiLove. Hopefully this one has made your day better. You can spread the good flavor of Nice Koekjes around Wiki World by giving someone else one. Maybe to a friend or, better yet, to someone you have had disagreements with in the past. Nice Koekjes are very tasty and have been known to be so NICE, they will even bake themselves. Enjoy!
Hope all is okay. Cheers mate, Stalwart 111 00:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC).

I'm not going to pursue this if you disagree, because I don't care that much, but FYI, I'm a little leery about a NAC speedy keep on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diamonds World Tour. It's only been open for one day, and most of the keep votes weren't really based in policy. I don't know what we usually do for articles about future tours that are more than 3 months away, but I'd be pretty surprised if these are always kept, and I wouldn't have been surprised at all to see some delete votes come in a little later. In the future, consider holding off until the 7 days are up; there's no harm in keeping a discussion open for more than 1 day.
p.s., yes, it will be Felix. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 01:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I object, for several reasons. AfDs should be open for seven days. what we have right now is a preponderance of Rihanna fans voting to keep an article related to their favorite artist, so of course it looks like a snow keep, but it's really a lot of COI and ILIKEIT. Check contribs for Tomica, see Calvin999's userpage, check Jagoperson's contribs, etc. and see what it is they've been working on lately.
Second, in weighing the merits of the arguments for closure, you have not noticed that not one of the keep votes has cited a policy-based reason. As a matter of fact, they've cited things that specifically do not establish notability (per WP policy). For example, my initial argument is basically WP:CRYSTAL, and one part of CRYSTAL states that "no date is definite until the event happens." Two or three voters nevertheless indicated that because the tour date has been announced, "it's going to happen and should be kept." Another said, "it hasn't happened yet, but we should keep it anyway." Another one or two claimed that because the album the tour is for is out, the tour is notable, which is a pretty clear violation of WP:NOTINHERITED. I'm surprised there wasn't a "Keep, because MSJapan hates Rihanna" - that cites just about as much relevant policy as anything else.
That is why AfD is not a simple votecount, but a weighing of policy, and why the AfD needs to stay open to allow uninvolved heads to weigh in. MSJapan ( talk) 02:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just wondering, how exactly do you go about finding XfD's that you close as NAC's? Do you just search old ones, and is there a page/category for old ones that need closing? What else should I know before trying that? Thanks! gwickwire | Leave a message 05:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I learned quite a bit. Go Phightins ! 16:12, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I noticed you flagged Warrior xmen for Speedy Deletion under G2. However, the article doesn't seem to qualify under G2 since the page is about a username, and doesn't seem like test edits. Vacation nine 03:02, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey Go! Can you please revert your closure of the AfD and let an admin perform the closure. Nomination itself is a delete vote so there exist one delete vote with no support whatsoever for keeping the article. Such articles usually get Softly deleted. Thanks! TheSpecialUser TSU 01:58, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
The no consensus close was correct, but I think you should have closed it with no prejudice against speedy renomination as there were no comments or !votes in this debate. This means that anyone can re-nominate this article at any time. → B music ian 04:51, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
How am I editing in a disruptive way? I have provided a reliable link and this is accurate information ( REfreakk5555 ( talk) 02:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC))
Hi Phigtins, again, please don't take this otherwise. May I please request you to not close or relist AfDs unless you gain experience in seeing how they're actually closed/relisted? Please allow an administrator to handle borderline closure or relisting of discussions. What you did here, here, here, here, here, here are clearly problematic. And why did you close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WBBA before seven days? Please immediately stop closing any AfD. Best regards. Wifione Message 17:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
All right, I'll reply to these one at a time.
-- Go Phightins ! 20:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Please do realize. My intention is not to slight you or question your motivation. These are AfDs that you as a non-admin should not be taking a chance with. Please go ahead and close clear cut keep AfDs. But other AfDs, please be extremely careful and avoid closing borderline AfDs based on your conviction. Please do ask me for any assistance at any time on this. Best. Wifione Message 21:52, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear Go Phightins, I would like to be adopted by you. I might not be able to come for days on end(perhaps) but I'll be here most weeks. I want to get some experience in editing articles as well, and I thought adoption might be really useful. Thanks- Clockery ( talk) 14:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Well, at least we tried. Had he not been a 3x sock, I honestly thought we might have gotten somewhere. Oh well. There's always more people coming to edit! gwickwire | Leave a message 23:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I did hope to be adopted by someone. I have been less active as of late due to school commitments, but I still want to learn how to contribute in a way with less potential to produce a giant mess. My first edit was about a year ago as an IP, but I have never really become truly active. I have always contributed by looking at the syntax of another thing that I thought was what I wanted to do, and then mimicking it, which seems...disaster prone. It seems like there is a lot of jargon thrown around, and while I'm starting to get the hang of it, I still can't get through something like an AN/I discussion without looking at about three separate linked esssays.... I have created an article, a BLP chess grandmaster stub Throstur Thorhallsson (before I knew that there were separate rules for BLP's), and translated a few articles to simple:. I am thinking that wikipedia is very close to done, and so am mostly focusing what time I do have in the project in simple. (I have the same username over there.) I am hoping to learn what exactly I should be doing, and the correct way to do things around here. Thanks for volunteering to adopt me! Tazerdadog ( talk) 06:12, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I am really glad to know that you are willing to help me. I am interested in doing your course. I don't have any pressing engagements for at least 3-4 months so I think I can contribute a lot. Although, I am going on a vacation this week and will be back by 12th December. I can start after that. So please tell me what I have to do about it. I am really looking forward to working with you.
