Well, it's not official yet, but on the basis of 84% support I think I can confidently congratulate you on the admin bit which should be coming any minute now.
If you're not a teetotaller then drink this, and if you are then use it to shampoo your hair. If you're a bald teetotaller, well, it's the thought that counts.
In the serious advice section, I will be lazy and copy-paste what I wrote to Boing! said Zebedee, rather than make the effort to write you a custom note. I recommend looking round to see what you can poach to put in User:Kudpung/monobook.js. There's lots of good stuff to go in there that can be really useful to admins, and copying from others who have already found it is a good way to get it. Also, put a handy link to Template:Admin dashboard somewhere, if you haven't already: it's pretty useful. I trust you will look into Wikipedia:New admin school, and when you've done so you may or may not find Wikipedia:What you won't learn in new admin school helpful: I did, but it's a matter of personal taste. Do ask other admins for advice and instructions. You will, I am sure, soon become a very proficient administrator, but while you are getting there I'm sure we will all be happy to give you help when you can use it.

Thank you everyone! - supporters and opposers alike.

I would like to thank you for your comments on the Royal Grammar School, Guildford article, I thought you might like to know that the article is now a GA :) (bringing the number across the project to 24). As for the info-box I think you already know my opinion on the appearance on the UK school version. Since for this article none of the special features (DfE number, Ofstead, etc) are being used as the school is not state maintained, I would like to keep it with the generic info-box if thats ok?

Hi, Kudpung, sorry to bother you. I'm just working through some of the historic unreviewed article backlogs and have come across this article. I get the feeling it's been copied and pasted from a source. A google search revels many other sites with the the same text, but they all cite Wikipedia as a source. Even if it is not a copyright violation then it does seem very 'adverty'. I'm not sure if is blatant enough for CSD though, would you mind taking a look?

Howdy, Online Ambassador!
This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:
And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{ The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.
Thanks! -- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 18:12, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Kudpung, I was wondering if you could maybe give me some advice on how to distribute the genres on a particular album? I have found sources stating that an album ( Passages (Frank Gambale album)) is contemporary jazz/smooth jazz, jazz fusion. Yet, the person I'm arguing with does not want me to put contemporary jazz. Instead he wants instrumental rock to be in the forefront; and he doesn't even have a valid source stating that the album is instrumental rock. The thing is that this album is only about: 50% contemporary/smooth jazz, 25% jazz fusion, and 25% instrumental rock. So what should I do? Thanks.
My sources for the album being contemporary jazz/smooth jazz: http://www.allmusic.com/album/passages-r203663 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/FrankGambale6 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/FrankGambale14 Sprecher ( talk)

Any chance you could swiftly move this over to WT:RFA#Are votes with no rationale "useless noise"? - I'm sure you understand why. I'm trying to keep the RfA on-topic. Cheers, Chzz ► 03:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
From my answer to Q4 at my RfA: I think many of us learned a lot through that process that our method of insisting on consensus by everyone for every little detail makes a process extremely long, and drawn out. Some editors actually resigned from Wikipedia from fatigue on that project. I believe that for site-wide operations like this, we ought to lend more confidence in sub-comittees or work groups with defined members who can reach their own consensus and report back to a steering committee. I am not suggesting that we overturn or modify the Wikipedia fundamental philosophy of consensus, but a show of hands occasionally would get things done faster. One of the main problems with the BLPPROD programme was that new people would come in on it at very late stages and make some very aggressive demands for things to be reviewed all over again, and this began to be quite a problem.

Hi. I didn't delete either of them. I've tagged MIU (Movement for Israeli Urbanism) for attention, and the reasons are on the page. Mastic ice cream was deleted by another admin because it was a duplication of an existing article. -- Kudpung ( talk) 17:25, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Mastic ice cream is a total name of Turkis ice cream (Dondurma) + Arabic ice cream (Booza) becouse there both have the Mastic spice inside.

Hello, Marking as "Patrolled" means that, a page does not have any special problems and does not meet Deletion Critia, and I checked those pages, I still think those have not any problems, they are just stub or orphan. About tagging, tagging process is not very important as the other editors will tag it, on the other hand, the editor may fill the article so tagging tags like stub and orphan should not be done in the first minutes but patrolling should. I appriciate your help and your advice, anything I did wrong? Thanks, Nima Nima1024 ( talk) 17:28, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

(if the link above is red then disregard this) :) I tagged the page with some very gentle tags suggesting the page needs alot of work. The author then deleted the tags and proceeded to do no more work on the page. I believe it is probably a great candidate for speedy but I wanted him to see the consensus of other editors. Either way the article is pretty poor and should be removed one way or another. Golgofrinchian (talk) 14:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung. I thought I would take you up on your offer for advice regarding CSD criteria. A question: I've seen a number of "articles" that are basically a person's résumé. Here is one recent example. What CSD criteria, if any, would you suggest be applied to such pages? A7? G11? I notice the other patrollers have generally not been tagging these for speedy deletion, so I thought I would solicit your opinion. Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 19:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, it looks like you notified the page's creator about tagging it for deletion; however, I don't see your name in the page's edit history (it's never been tagged for deletion). Am I missing something here? Airplaneman ✈ 03:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Kudpung, I am so sorry for being absolutely non-responsive during our talks and talkbacks. I am a terrible communicator and really need to step up and get in better touch with the wiki community. I would explain why I have been so absent on wiki, and online all together, but I don't feel comfortable discussing certain things on talk pages. Do you have an email address where I can explain things more clearly? I'm trying to get in touch with my professor and discuss these things with her and figure out what is expected of me and what I can reasonably do. Once I get your email address this will be less cryptic, I'm sorry for any stress or confusion I've caused and I really do appreciate the help you've already provided me.

It's a sort of prodigal son situation: the one who was against you and has come to support you is worth more than ones who never left you.

Hi Kudpung, I think your task force is a great idea to stop conversations going round in circles and actually get something done. If you haven't already, will you advertise it at the village pump etc? Most people don't read RfA talk: I think if we make an effort to make the task force more representative of the whole community we'll get wider perspectives on the problem, and find it easier to get community consensus for whatever the eventual recommendations are. -- Physics is all gnomes ( talk) 14:09, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for your comments on the Royal Grammar School, Guildford article, I thought you might like to know that the article is now a GA :) (bringing the number across the project to 24). As for the info-box I think you already know my opinion on the appearance on the UK school version. Since for this article none of the special features (DfE number, Ofstead, etc) are being used as the school is not state maintained, I would like to keep it with the generic info-box if thats ok? Thank you again for your comments on the article. Glanis Talk 15:14, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Kudpung, thanks for the offer and congrats on your RFA. There is always pictures and information on the Sirindhorn Dam, Ubol Ratana Dam and Pak Mun Dam but I think some of those are several hours east of you. I was just recently in Thailand; Lampang, Bangkok, Rayong and Pattaya. Not too many dams there but a neat place.-- NortyNort (Holla) 01:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Kudpung, sorry to bother you. I'm just working through some of the historic unreviewed article backlogs and have come across this article. I get the feeling it's been copied and pasted from a source. A google search revels many other sites with the the same text, but they all cite Wikipedia as a source. Even if it is not a copyright violation then it does seem very 'adverty'. I'm not sure if is blatant enough for CSD though, would you mind taking a look?

Thank you Tofu! The kind words mean much, much more to me than the barnstar itself.

Congratulations on the RfA. Now you can be looked at with more scrutiny! Sarcasm aside, you've done a great job.

Howdy, Online Ambassador!
This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:
And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{ The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.
Thanks! -- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 18:12, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Kudpung, I was wondering if you could maybe give me some advice on how to distribute the genres on a particular album? I have found sources stating that an album ( Passages (Frank Gambale album)) is contemporary jazz/smooth jazz, jazz fusion. Yet, the person I'm arguing with does not want me to put contemporary jazz. Instead he wants instrumental rock to be in the forefront; and he doesn't even have a valid source stating that the album is instrumental rock. The thing is that this album is only about: 50% contemporary/smooth jazz, 25% jazz fusion, and 25% instrumental rock. So what should I do? Thanks.
My sources for the album being contemporary jazz/smooth jazz: http://www.allmusic.com/album/passages-r203663 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/FrankGambale6 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/FrankGambale14 Sprecher ( talk)

Any chance you could swiftly move this over to WT:RFA#Are votes with no rationale "useless noise"? - I'm sure you understand why. I'm trying to keep the RfA on-topic. Cheers, Chzz ► 03:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
From my answer to Q4 at my RfA: I think many of us learned a lot through that process that our method of insisting on consensus by everyone for every little detail makes a process extremely long, and drawn out. Some editors actually resigned from Wikipedia from fatigue on that project. I believe that for site-wide operations like this, we ought to lend more confidence in sub-comittees or work groups with defined members who can reach their own consensus and report back to a steering committee. I am not suggesting that we overturn or modify the Wikipedia fundamental philosophy of consensus, but a show of hands occasionally would get things done faster. One of the main problems with the BLPPROD programme was that new people would come in on it at very late stages and make some very aggressive demands for things to be reviewed all over again, and this began to be quite a problem.

Hi, I'm curious as to why you recently served

subst:uw-vandalism4}}
when he had made no edits (other than one to his own user talk page) after I had served a {{
subst:uw-vandalism3}}
over fifteen hours earlier. His user talk page edit was entirely within that permitted by
WP:BLANKING; this, together with his immediate cessation of vandalism, demonstrates that he had read at least one of the three warning messages. --

Hi. I didn't delete either of them. I've tagged MIU (Movement for Israeli Urbanism) for attention, and the reasons are on the page. Mastic ice cream was deleted by another admin because it was a duplication of an existing article. -- Kudpung ( talk) 17:25, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Mastic ice cream is a total name of Turkis ice cream (Dondurma) + Arabic ice cream (Booza) becouse there both have the Mastic spice inside.

Hello, Marking as "Patrolled" means that, a page does not have any special problems and does not meet Deletion Critia, and I checked those pages, I still think those have not any problems, they are just stub or orphan. About tagging, tagging process is not very important as the other editors will tag it, on the other hand, the editor may fill the article so tagging tags like stub and orphan should not be done in the first minutes but patrolling should. I appriciate your help and your advice, anything I did wrong? Thanks, Nima Nima1024 ( talk) 17:28, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

(if the link above is red then disregard this) :) I tagged the page with some very gentle tags suggesting the page needs alot of work. The author then deleted the tags and proceeded to do no more work on the page. I believe it is probably a great candidate for speedy but I wanted him to see the consensus of other editors. Either way the article is pretty poor and should be removed one way or another. Golgofrinchian (talk) 14:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung. I thought I would take you up on your offer for advice regarding CSD criteria. A question: I've seen a number of "articles" that are basically a person's résumé. Here is one recent example. What CSD criteria, if any, would you suggest be applied to such pages? A7? G11? I notice the other patrollers have generally not been tagging these for speedy deletion, so I thought I would solicit your opinion. Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 19:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, it looks like you notified the page's creator about tagging it for deletion; however, I don't see your name in the page's edit history (it's never been tagged for deletion). Am I missing something here? Airplaneman ✈ 03:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Kudpung, I am so sorry for being absolutely non-responsive during our talks and talkbacks. I am a terrible communicator and really need to step up and get in better touch with the wiki community. I would explain why I have been so absent on wiki, and online all together, but I don't feel comfortable discussing certain things on talk pages. Do you have an email address where I can explain things more clearly? I'm trying to get in touch with my professor and discuss these things with her and figure out what is expected of me and what I can reasonably do. Once I get your email address this will be less cryptic, I'm sorry for any stress or confusion I've caused and I really do appreciate the help you've already provided me. Hope to hear from you soon, Ohheyheidi ( talk) 18:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Kudpung for alerting me to this. Actually, I received a copy of the same message, and responded to it, but there's no harm in telling me anyway, to make sure. (While I'm here, I will also mention the message below from user Swarm. I can fully see why you say it means more to you than any other compliment you have ever received. It's a sort of prodigal son situation: the one who was against you and has come to support you is worth more than ones who never left you. If even an opposer now says you are doing a good job then you really must be doing OK. It also goes some way towards confirming the faith I and other supporters had in you all along.)

Hi Kudpung, I think your task force is a great idea to stop conversations going round in circles and actually get something done. If you haven't already, will you advertise it at the village pump etc? Most people don't read RfA talk: I think if we make an effort to make the task force more representative of the whole community we'll get wider perspectives on the problem, and find it easier to get community consensus for whatever the eventual recommendations are. -- Physics is all gnomes ( talk) 14:09, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
