Hey, I have seen you about and I have noticed that you are doing a very good job with WP:UAA reports and New page patrolling. I would like to ask you if you are interested in being an admin as I am considering nominating you for an Rfa. Regards, Superchrome ( talk) 18:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
I had never met a person who copyedits newpapers...
But that's only normal, I think, given the fact that I've been known to talk to people on TV (usually, politicians).
That said, I understand people at RFA who oppose people who have absolutely no experience in content creation, because an admin can be called upon to try and solve a content dispute and because they can block an experienced content creator. So, a good admin should be familiar with the stress a dispute can create and should, sometimes, be able to overlook certain uncivil remarks (not outright personal attacks, of course). The creator of an article about to be deleted can react badly and, perhaps, even start venting. A good admin should understand that and not block the editor, unless they become disruptive. That is why some content creation is required: a user who spent their entire wikicareer using Huggle to revert people adding "poop" to articles may not be the best person for the job (since the admin bit allows a user to block other users, and delete and protect articles or bypass full protection). So, I must admit that I understand some opposers. What I do not understand are opposers who require people to have written a given number of DYK or GAs or FAs, because everyone here has their preferences and their particular field(s) of expertise too.
On an entirely unrelated issue, I see you'd like to help out at UAA — good idea! —. If you wish a bit of unrequired advice, when I hang there, I look for inappropriate usernames
here and report them with Twinkle (only if they have already edited), tagging for speedy deletions their userpages, if they meet criterion G11, or the article(s) they created. Then I comment the reports I find there and I move reports to the holding pen, after one or two hours since an admin has commented on them, or I remove non-vios, again, after one or two hours since an admin has commented that they are not violations.

Any idea? --- cymru lass (hit me up)⁄ (background check) 01:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC)I'm wondering what tense would be best to use in character bios in reality television shows, such as The Real Housewives of Orange County. If one looked at the situation from a biographical perspective, past tense would be appropriate. But if one looked at it from a writing-about-television perspective, logic dictates that one should use present tense. Right now, the article in question uses both tenses in the character bios. I plan on rewriting the character bios so they all use the same tense, but I can't figure out whether to use past or present tense. Any help appreciated
Whoa, sorry it took me a bit to get back to you on this... I actually got this right when you sent it but I was buried (literally, at one point, the rest of the time just figuratively) in work.... I just realized that I absorbed nothing of these two really important books I was supposed to read
When you put it that way, it makes sense. Now if I could only remember which article I was talking about....

Hi Salvio. I wonder if you would mind too much having a look here: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#La_Piazza_de_Giovinazzo. You're the only editor I know of who speaks Italian. You're welcome to comment on the issues, but I really just want you to let me know if you think I've made any significant errors in the translation I have included there. Cheers.-- FormerIP ( talk) 22:19, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
That was really well done. You avoided getting four thousand eyes on it before deletion, which is exactly what would have happened if posted to ANI.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 01:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for updating me on the conflict of interest that I have with updating my company's wikipage. Will I be able to edit the formatting of the page, as I have attempted to do?

Hi Salvio,
I've reviewed your request and decided to grant you the account creator right. Please remember that the ACC tool is a powerful one, and you will be held responsible for anything that you do wrong. Please also remember that ACC is not a race, so take time and review each request properly. Additionally, please note that this right can and will be, like other user rights removed if you abuse it.
Finally, I'd like to thank you for your hard work and efforts as a member of the Account Creation Team! :)
Kind Regards,

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:47, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
