Whoops! Yeah, you are right. That was done automatically by Huggle. I have no idea why. But thanks. Good luck on your RFA! - Milk's Favorite Cookie 21:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Gee, I don't know, just something a little bird told me, I guess. :) Corvus cornix talk 21:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Funny we should run into each other like this with a report to the vandal page. I just wanted to let you know that I had voted for you for your administration request with a vote of support some time ago. I do hope it all works out for you as we do need some helpful administrators. I am currently in coaching. So keep your fingers crossed. Canyouhearmenow 14:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WjB scribe 18:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations on your successful RfA! Make sure to check out the new admin school. Good luck and feel free to ask me if you have any questions! Glass Cobra 00:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Congrats. Good luck! Malinaccier ( talk) 17:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I am an anthropology student researching the Wikipedia Requests for adminship procedure. As you recently completed this process, I was wondering if you would be willing to answer a few quick questions.
If you are willing, please leave your answers on my talk page or e-mail them to me.
This research will not be published academically, as this research is primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of doing online ethnography in online only communities such as Wikipedia, though I intend to make my findings available on Wiki. Your name will not be associated with any information you provide in any published work. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you. -- Cspurrier ( talk) 18:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thanks for pointing out the error i made :) Elie plus ( talk) 18:42, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hiya. I've blocked one of the four names you listed, but have removed the other three. The username policy does state that whilst use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited, it is not recommended, and depending on the circumstances may be seen as a problem. In this instance, the two of the users have no edits, deleted or otherwise, and the third has one edit unrelated to their username. I think that blocking might be a bit bitey, so would suggest you discuss their names with them in the first instance by using the {{ uw-username}} template on their talk page. Any problems or questions, leave me a message. Thanks! GB T/ C 11:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
the simple answer is that the article was not empty in the terms of the speedy criteria you sought to apply to it - A3 covers articles with no content, which consist primarily of links, etc., but specifically excludes stubs which have valid context, which this did.
I don't know. Seems to have been fixed though. :) - Just a quick question (as I did it incorrectly when I first used the tools) - do you know how to block at UAA? Rudget . 17:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Be careful with your use of G4 - it's only for articles which have been previously deleted via an XfD route - I'm not sure that this is the case here (although the same page is on the user's userpage). GB T/ C 21:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I blocked this user for 35 days (1 month + 15%) and change before noticing your comment at AIV. The times on the Level 4 warning and the last (racist!) edit seemed to match, so I blocked. I'm happy to look at a valid unblock request, esp. as the IP is shared, but wanted to make sure you knew that I wasn't disregarding your intent to monitor the IP - I just missed it altogether. Thanks, and sorry for any confusion. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 21:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
A "copy of Battle of Baghdad (1258)"? You must not have looked very closely. Battle of Baghdad (1258) has some 20k. User:Geir Smith/Sandbox has 151k, including fun sections such as "THE REVELATION", Revealing it, is a spiritual Occultation's goal, not for it to remain murkily shadowy and hidden. :) dab (𒁳) 21:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed your comment on Jabada418. The amount of warnings on their page indicated they had been repeatedly told to refrain from creating nonsense pages. Hope you do not mind too much that I issued the block, don't have as much tolerance as you I guess :). Cheers, ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads-up on my talk page! :] For future reference, how recent does vandalism need to be to be reported to administrators? Rachel Summers ( talk) 19:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Good afternoon, I noticed you just deleted the article about VWVortex without any discussion taking place. The person who posted the spam notice originally was mis-informed as to the subject of the article. Vortex is not a company that sells anything. They are a website which has information and forms regarding various makes of cars. The poster of the spam template may have concerns regarding the notability of the article, but that is something that we have a discussion on in Wikipedia prior to rashly deleting pages. Please un-delete the article immediately so we can have a fair and rational discussion about whether it should be kept. Thank you.-- Analogue Kid ( talk) 19:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I went ahead and proposed the article be undeleted as you mentioned. I'll make clear that if it doesn't hold up to notability test, then I have no problem if it gets deleted. However, I feel that due process was violated in this case and would like for the page to have its "Day in court" if you will. As to my association with VWvortex, I visit the site regularly, but I don't work for them or anything like that.
And BTW Rougegeek, I notice you're checking other pages I've worked on ;-) -- Analogue Kid ( talk) 04:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I haven't given the Lotto much thought, but I might! :) Anyway, I figured anyone who starts his "career" here by vandalizing the article about feces probably wasn't going to be adding anything of intellectual import. Hey, if I hit the Lotto, I'll let you know! Best, -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 22:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, Huggle came across it, and I chose to RV, but it added an AIV report too. Will ( talk) 20:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
