Masssiveego, I noticed you vote keep for a lot of band deletions that would otherwise be unanimous deletions. Could you include your reasoning from now on? It helps others understand your vote and strengthen your position. Thanks! Wickethewok 09:33, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:WaveMotionGunfiring.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. feydey 01:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC) f
Hi Masssiveego. Thank you for taking the time to register your opinion in my

WP:100. I'll do my best to increase my 500 or so project space edits to meet your standards in the hope that I can meet the expectations of all 106 people who expressed a preference. Cheers. ➨

Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :) | →

Masssiveego, I would like to apologize if anything I have said has been taken as a personal attack on you. I sincerely disagree with the reasoning for many of your votes on RfA, and I reserve the right to do that, but perhaps I should have brought this up with you directly. You are right, the discussion is over as we are unlikely to reach an agreement on the issue, but I would like you to know that I hold no hard feelings and I hope you feel the same way. Thanks,

Masssiveego/Archive 2, thank you for your constructive opposition in my recent RfA. Although it did not succeed as no consensus was declared (final: 65/29/7), I know that there is always an opportunity to request adminship again. In the meantime, I will do my best to address your concerns in the hope that when the opportunity for adminship arises once again, you will reconsider your position. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path. |

Thanks for pointing out that 2 images I'd uploaded were orphaned (the 3rd is used on my user page, and is not an orphan.

Hi Masssiveego. Just a quick note to thank you for voting on my RfA, which recently passed 62/13/6. I want to let you know that I will do my best to address all concerns that were raised during the RfA. I will also do my very best live up to this new responsibility and to serve the community, but please let me know if I make any mistakes or if you have any feedback at all on my actions. Finally, if there is anything that I can assist you with - please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers TigerShark 04:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC) |
Hi. Please do not add categories to userboxes, such as you did to Template:User Volleyball Player.

You misunderstand. I did not say I loathe Mr. Murdock. I said I am loathe to give him publicity. That goes for any televangelist, frankly. However, some televangelists are deserving of a Wikipedia article, however much I may not like it. Mr. Murdock is one of those. Do you need further explanation? Powers 02:20, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, this is Matt Yeager. I wanted to thank you for your vote on my request for adminship. The count was something like was 14/20/5 when I decided to withdraw the request. My decision was based on the fact that there are enough things wasting people's time on the Internet that doomed RFA's shouldn't be kept up for voters to have to think about. Regardless of the rationale behind your vote, I hope you will read this note for an extended note and discussion on what will happen before I make another try at adminship (I didn't want to clog up your userpage with drivel that you might not be interested in reading). Thank you very, very much for your vote and your time and consideration of my credentials--regardless of whether you voted support, nuetral, or oppose. Happy editing!

Hello Masssiveego. I have come here to address you on your questions regarding RFA's. A couple of things...
1) These questions do not have to be answered withen 24 hours regardless if the user is on Wikipedia or not.
I automatically oppose regardless of qualifications if the user if they do not answer in 24 hours. I find it rude if an user refuses to answer in the time limit. WP:Civil. Masssiveego 18:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
2) These questions should be opinion questions like:
type-questions, not right or wrong questions like
The above question demonstrates knowledge in policy. Masssiveego 18:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
In conclusion, please give editors time to respond to your questions and ask more opinionated questions please.

Would like to give more time, manners dictate returning messages promptly. 24 hours is more then enough time for a user to notice, and respond. Opinionated questions rarely demonstrate what the user knows about policy. Masssiveego 18:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
when they login, they would have noticed something changed in the RFA. I test to see if they know, or have the ability to research. For instance, the [Mike Murdock] page, it was A7 without a hint of research. I want to bring up where I think the user is weakest, or wrong at, and either have the problem corrected or oppose if they are obviously incapable of handling the questions. Masssiveego 19:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote in my request for adminship. I'm slightly puzzled by your reason for your oppose vote, i.e. "not active enough with the wikipedia community." I would just like to point out that any user has a finite amount of time to spend on Wikipedia. Some of us are going to contribute almost 100% content, while others' contributions may tend to be 100% maintenance etc. For an admin you'd be right to say that nominees must demonstrate at least some involvement in the community — but I would argue that although my contributions are biased towards making article contributions, I do find time to make contributions to the Wikipedia community. Any way, constructive criticism never did anyone any harm! No hard feelings, Mark83 09:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
