I was trying to perform a history merge per your tag, but I can't find where this page was supposedly copied from. Cool Hand Luke 21:03, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Is too big. It breaks up the lines and spacing. Would you mind terribly making it a bit smaller? Thanks, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
No. Considering that the default size is "1", and it isn't hard to read, all you're really doing is drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. I honestly recommend a "2", but a "3" is fine as it doesn't break up line spacing on most monitors. Thanks RyRy,

Why is your signature size such a big deal to you? I don't know if it can be made 3.5. Who cares? We're here to write an encyclopedia, the best in the world! Who cares how big your signature is? Colors are fine, I use them too. Why do you need yours to be bigger than everyone elses? I don't get it. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit cross, I just have other things i'd rather be doing.

Please don't remove the TfD tag until the debate is closed, thanks. Once the debate is closed, is the decision is to keep the template, then the tag is deleted and a different notice that says "this article was nomination for deletion on such date and the decision was keep" is placed on the talk page. That tag links to the closed debate so other people will be able to read it. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 22:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Personal opinion from myself:
Most RFA !voters want a user to be active for about 4 months before becoming an admin. If you still want to run, go for it. Just know that some people may oppose you for time period alone. Malinaccier ( talk) 00:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
An admin coach will help you prepare for an RFA by teaching you policy and other things needed in an administrator. Most use question/answer situations to discover your weaknesses and rectify them. I would coach you myself, but I'm currently coaching three others right now =). You can request a coach at WP:ADCO. Malinaccier ( talk) 00:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Yea. I changed it from American Idol. Nothing 444 01:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, I'll just tell you about the general requirements for adminship (not set in stone, but what people generally expect): at least 3000-4000 edits; at least 3-4 months of experience, as well as plenty of work in administrative areas. jj137 (talk) 03:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
I see that you've requested that the article I just created on 'purveyor ' be speedily deleted. I was reading the Miguel de Cervantes article, and came across the word. Thinking that most people may not know what it means (including me), I created a page for it.
I would leave the page and wait for people to add to it and discuss the various roles of purveyors, such as the positions in the royal household and navy. I think this would be better than simply deleting it. I find that people are much more likely to add to an article than create one.
However, if you think it should be deleted, fine. Just change the link on the Cervantes page to go to the dictionary instead.

I have chose to wait a long time and not go up for RFA straight away so I can have confidence in not failing first time, I am not ready yet, but I do not want to be your adoptee sorry. It is editing duration that counts, not edit count. AndreNatas ( talk) 17:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Why did you revert my effort to make the article neutral? Are you prepared to argue that "God" refers only to the Christian god, or that Muslims do not believe in God? VatoFirme ( talk) 18:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, Im going to have to decline for a couple reasons. First and foremost, I support another team, although I do root for the Sox when they play the Yanks :-) Also, I already have a lot on my plate and I am focusing my efforts on WP:PACKERS. The reason I edited the project was because Milks Favorite Cookie used the layout of WP:PACKERS for the new Sox layout, and although I got the basic layout from another project, I have refined and done a lot of work, and the layout needed to be fixed for WP:SOX to make some links work and to add better colors that fit the team better. If you guys have any questions on the WikiProject in general though, I would be glad to help. I have learned a lot from getting WP:PACKERS from this to this :-) Thanks for the invite though!

You, yes you, you are not aware of WP:SOCK, I see.
Now, go read Wikipedia:SOCK#Alternative_account_notification and then go to User:SoxAward4 and identify that account as your sock as specified there, and then identify on your user page that you have socks, like specified on the same page. Either that or stop using that alternative account. I don't care if says "it is recommended" because you are treating him as if he was a separate person (he's not a separate person, I can see the gap on your contribution history when you go to create the account and make a few edits and then go back to your account to keep editing), adding him to the same project as you, treating him a new member as if he was a separate person, etc., so you *need* to make this clear now or drop it altogether.
What are you doing still reading this? Go read WP:SOCK, come on, you still need to read a few policies more before you can successfully pass a RfA. One day you will be need to give this sort of warnign to someone and you need to know the policies :D -- Enric Naval ( talk) 20:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Could use a cleanup. Its good for the first article you ever created. I created my first article all the way back Summer 2007. And guess what? It got Speedy deleted.

You don't need to leave a message when you revert random vandalism [3], vandalism on articles happens every day and you just make a little comment after the edit summary that is generated automatically. Vandalism is best reverted and ignored.
If you are reverting a page that is located on userspace, then you can consider leaving a message on the talk page of the user that the page belongs to.
If you see persistent vandalism, *and* it is oriented to push a POV on an article, harass an user, disrup an article, etc., then you can consider talking about it. Otherwise, just leave warnings on the vandal page, being careful to start with low level warnings and going up if the vangal persists. If a vandal persists after you give th highest level warning, then go to WP:VIP and follow the instructions there. But don't post about the vandalism itself unless necessary, since this only enocurages the vandals. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 20:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Howdy,
I'm wondering why you've reverted my deletion of a newly added external link to a blog on Noble Eightfold Path. As indicated in my edit summary, I deleted it per WP:ELNO #11 -- in addition to the blog's essentially simply rehashing what was already on Noble Eightfold Path itself (just check the blog's end notes). You did not provide any reason for reverting my edit. (In addition, I was following up on a prior deletion by the regular WP Buddhism contributor User:Tdudkowski of a previous attempt to incorporate material from this blog into Noble Eightfold Path.)
Thanks for any help with resolving this matter in a thoughtful manner.

I don't think I can create it for you. Of course, I can help you create it; I'm not sure about your idea, though: vandalism seldom lasts longer than five minutes, and I don't think there's a way to automatically send any vandalism to you. If you have any other ideas, I'd be willing to give it a try. jj137 (talk) 02:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Is there any sort of template to go on talk pages to signify that it is a part of this project?

Well, firstly, thanks for the barnstar. :) I like the idea of that page. One thing I might change is the whole "greatly improve an article" thing: yes, it would be great, but not everyone likes to expand articles; some people spend a lot of time reverting vandalism, some at AFD, etc. (You don't have to change it, of course, just a suggestion.) Adoption has a lot to do with "learning the ropes" of Wikipedia. With your adoptees, try to teach them about many different areas so they will be familiar with many things. Oh, I'm sure you'll do well. :) jj137 (talk) 20:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Nor would I want to be. It's a job consisting mostly of looking for vandalism and other such drudgerous stuff. I do enough of that as it is. I would not run for admin, and if elected, I would not serve. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, RyRy.
A conversation here to which you were a party has been brought to my attention. I gather your intent was only to say that you believed that you could be an effective mentor as an admin, but I want you to know that you really need to be careful about how you say things. I think it's also best that you disengage from conversation with User:Queerbubbles unless there's something fairly critical that you must bring up.
It's clear from that conversation that you have probably crossed a line and that Queerbubbles would prefer not to have interaction with you. Just as in the offline world, there are people with whom we don't always get along online, and in this case I think that's precisely what the problem is.
I strongly encourage you to disengage from Queerbubbles. - Philippe | Talk 22:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I think I fixed it. jj137 (talk) 22:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello RyRy5. I've looked at your user profile and adoption program page, and I would like you to teach me the ropes. I like the idea of being tested as well.

This is a good program you have going on. I have a few questions. Am I able to view subpages or do I just have to know they exist? For example the Adoptee_Tests on my user page, if somebody creates a page under my name will I be able to find out about it? I'm wondering how you set your signature to different font colors while using the four ~'s. I'm done with the test too, but where should I post the answers for that?

No. Considering that the default size is "1", and it isn't hard to read, all you're really doing is drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. I honestly recommend a "2", but a "3" is fine as it doesn't break up line spacing on most monitors. Thanks RyRy,

Why is your signature size such a big deal to you? I don't know if it can be made 3.5. Who cares? We're here to write an encyclopedia, the best in the world! Who cares how big your signature is? Colors are fine, I use them too. Why do you need yours to be bigger than everyone elses? I don't get it. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit cross, I just have other things i'd rather be doing.

Just wanted to say thanks for the quick revert on my talk page! -- Ed ( Edgar181) 21:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |
Please don't remove the TfD tag until the debate is closed, thanks. Once the debate is closed, is the decision is to keep the template, then the tag is deleted and a different notice that says "this article was nomination for deletion on such date and the decision was keep" is placed on the talk page. That tag links to the closed debate so other people will be able to read it. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 22:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Personal opinion from myself:
Most RFA !voters want a user to be active for about 4 months before becoming an admin. If you still want to run, go for it. Just know that some people may oppose you for time period alone. Malinaccier ( talk) 00:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
An admin coach will help you prepare for an RFA by teaching you policy and other things needed in an administrator. Most use question/answer situations to discover your weaknesses and rectify them. I would coach you myself, but I'm currently coaching three others right now =). You can request a coach at WP:ADCO. Malinaccier ( talk) 00:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'll just tell you about the general requirements for adminship (not set in stone, but what people generally expect): at least 3000-4000 edits; at least 3-4 months of experience, as well as plenty of work in administrative areas. jj137 (talk) 03:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
I see that you've requested that the article I just created on 'purveyor ' be speedily deleted. I was reading the Miguel de Cervantes article, and came across the word. Thinking that most people may not know what it means (including me), I created a page for it.
I would leave the page and wait for people to add to it and discuss the various roles of purveyors, such as the positions in the royal household and navy. I think this would be better than simply deleting it. I find that people are much more likely to add to an article than create one.
However, if you think it should be deleted, fine. Just change the link on the Cervantes page to go to the dictionary instead.

Sorry, Im going to have to decline for a couple reasons. First and foremost, I support another team, although I do root for the Sox when they play the Yanks :-) Also, I already have a lot on my plate and I am focusing my efforts on WP:PACKERS. The reason I edited the project was because Milks Favorite Cookie used the layout of WP:PACKERS for the new Sox layout, and although I got the basic layout from another project, I have refined and done a lot of work, and the layout needed to be fixed for WP:SOX to make some links work and to add better colors that fit the team better. If you guys have any questions on the WikiProject in general though, I would be glad to help. I have learned a lot from getting WP:PACKERS from this to this :-) Thanks for the invite though!

You, yes you, you are not aware of WP:SOCK, I see.
Now, go read Wikipedia:SOCK#Alternative_account_notification and then go to User:SoxAward4 and identify that account as your sock as specified there, and then identify on your user page that you have socks, like specified on the same page. Either that or stop using that alternative account. I don't care if says "it is recommended" because you are treating him as if he was a separate person (he's not a separate person, I can see the gap on your contribution history when you go to create the account and make a few edits and then go back to your account to keep editing), adding him to the same project as you, treating him a new member as if he was a separate person, etc., so you *need* to make this clear now or drop it altogether.
What are you doing still reading this? Go read WP:SOCK, come on, you still need to read a few policies more before you can successfully pass a RfA. One day you will be need to give this sort of warnign to someone and you need to know the policies :D -- Enric Naval ( talk) 20:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Could use a cleanup. Its good for the first article you ever created. I created my first article all the way back Summer 2007. And guess what? It got Speedy deleted.

You don't need to leave a message when you revert random vandalism [3], vandalism on articles happens every day and you just make a little comment after the edit summary that is generated automatically. Vandalism is best reverted and ignored.
If you are reverting a page that is located on userspace, then you can consider leaving a message on the talk page of the user that the page belongs to.
If you see persistent vandalism, *and* it is oriented to push a POV on an article, harass an user, disrup an article, etc., then you can consider talking about it. Otherwise, just leave warnings on the vandal page, being careful to start with low level warnings and going up if the vangal persists. If a vandal persists after you give th highest level warning, then go to WP:VIP and follow the instructions there. But don't post about the vandalism itself unless necessary, since this only enocurages the vandals. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 20:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Howdy,
I'm wondering why you've reverted my deletion of a newly added external link to a blog on Noble Eightfold Path. As indicated in my edit summary, I deleted it per WP:ELNO #11 -- in addition to the blog's essentially simply rehashing what was already on Noble Eightfold Path itself (just check the blog's end notes). You did not provide any reason for reverting my edit. (In addition, I was following up on a prior deletion by the regular WP Buddhism contributor User:Tdudkowski of a previous attempt to incorporate material from this blog into Noble Eightfold Path.)
Thanks for any help with resolving this matter in a thoughtful manner.

I don't think I can create it for you. Of course, I can help you create it; I'm not sure about your idea, though: vandalism seldom lasts longer than five minutes, and I don't think there's a way to automatically send any vandalism to you. If you have any other ideas, I'd be willing to give it a try. jj137 (talk) 02:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Is there any sort of template to go on talk pages to signify that it is a part of this project?

Well, firstly, thanks for the barnstar. :) I like the idea of that page. One thing I might change is the whole "greatly improve an article" thing: yes, it would be great, but not everyone likes to expand articles; some people spend a lot of time reverting vandalism, some at AFD, etc. (You don't have to change it, of course, just a suggestion.) Adoption has a lot to do with "learning the ropes" of Wikipedia. With your adoptees, try to teach them about many different areas so they will be familiar with many things. Oh, I'm sure you'll do well. :) jj137 (talk) 20:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Nor would I want to be. It's a job consisting mostly of looking for vandalism and other such drudgerous stuff. I do enough of that as it is. I would not run for admin, and if elected, I would not serve. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, RyRy.
A conversation here to which you were a party has been brought to my attention. I gather your intent was only to say that you believed that you could be an effective mentor as an admin, but I want you to know that you really need to be careful about how you say things. I think it's also best that you disengage from conversation with User:Queerbubbles unless there's something fairly critical that you must bring up.
It's clear from that conversation that you have probably crossed a line and that Queerbubbles would prefer not to have interaction with you. Just as in the offline world, there are people with whom we don't always get along online, and in this case I think that's precisely what the problem is.
I strongly encourage you to disengage from Queerbubbles. - Philippe | Talk 22:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
