Paul J. Gelegotis Memorial Bridge
The article Paul J. Gelegotis Memorial Bridge has been substantially rewritten with multiple nontrivial sources, after your vote for deletion. Would you please reconsider your position. -- Kevin Murray 02:10, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Shimeru - despite my rant at the AfD on Jannali East Public School (which I was annoyed about, merely because so many people just vote for deletion without doing any checking on whether the article is notable or not), I realise that you may have put the merge tag there in good faith, and had suggested it as a good way to keep the information - you at least suggested a rationale for why the information should be deleted, so thank you. I only took your merge tag away because the tag suggested the school district should be the article where the information should go, and we don't have school districts in Australia. However, I'm more than happy to do some work on the information if it gets merged to the Jannali, New South Wales article, which is where we normally merge school articles to for Australian schools. However, that requires you to withdraw the nomination. Can you do that and merge the article? I won't oppose that at all even though in some ways I'd like the article kept. Even if you don't, I'm still going to userfy the information to myself, delete the useless bits and put it in the Jannali article anyway. JROBBO 22:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Move is done. That was easier than I thought

You didn't step on my toes, I just don't think the GA is warranted. My guess is that the confusion over reviewers being on the list somehow started from the fact that there is one. Otherwise, why have a list? I can see how Sumo thought this. Rlevse 01:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
All of your objections have now been rectified. If there are any other queries please let me know and I'll try and fix them. Thanks. SteveO 14:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Shimeru,
I really appreciated that you made the effort to give your sane/objective outside viewpoint at the RfC--there's been very little of that at this RfC. If you have time/don't mind, could you take a look at it (and the talkpage) again, in light of new developments regarding "Encyclopedia Dramatica"?
Thanks and happy new year, Cindery 18:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the article, Coca Cola, is now ready for GA status. Since you last reviewed it I have done the following:
I apoligise for the time taken to respond. Leave me a message at User talk:Natl1.-- Natl1 21:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I was able to add some additional information to the article on Laisterdyke High School in England, so I removed your {{ prod}}. Sometimes a quick Google search can find enough new information to mean the difference between an article that can't be kept in its current state and one which is worth keeping. -- Eastmain 05:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Shimeru! Not sure if you're an admin or not, but as I don't have much experience in these kinds of things, I was wondering if there was anything that could be done to speed up either/or the GA review and/or the beginning of the mediation on the article. At this point, I feel like the debate is getting out of hand and just polluting the pages. I almost feel like I'm speaking to trolls when answering certain editors. I know it's in good part my fault for having let myself become involved in this so much, but I'm afraid that if I start ignoring them, these editors will think they've won the argument and start doing as they please with the article. I would honestly need the opinion of an uninvolved third party as to what my best course of action should be from this point on. I've been tempted lately to put up the "do not feed the troll" picture on the talk page, but I realize this would probably be the worst thing to do. Any comments or opinions, good or bad, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.-- Ramdrake 01:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
From the foie gras GA review: Suggest revisiting the matter after mediation/arbitration/defenestration has occurred. It had me up in stitches. Nice to see the people around here have managed to retain a sense of humor despite all the recriminations. And I forgot to mention, thanks again for the advice the other day.-- Ramdrake 20:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I understand that you're displeased with the results of [ Afd] on this article, but please respect the decision of the closing admin. Deleting the content of this article and replacing it with a redirect is inappropriate. You may renominate the article for AfD at some point down the road, but continuing to replace the article's contents with a redirect is disruptive. | Mr. Darcy talk 20:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid 64 01:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Why are you ending your involvement with GA (our of curiosity)?-- Esprit15d ( talk ¤ contribs) 14:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Could you tell me how you fixed the nomination for Pet Shop Boys? I was trying to fix it for the person who incorrectly added it to the FAC list, but wasn't able to. Since I do regular work on that page, and that's a common mistake, I would really appreciate knowing how to fix that error. Thanks. Jeffpw 10:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually, efforts are going on to merge the articles into one big list or to merge more generally. I think this can be done before AFD crunchday. If I'm wrong, I will withdraw the AFDs, but now I feel that to be premature. Much obliged for the civil tone of your post. Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 12:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Please take a look at WP:MALL to which you have contributed, with respect to proposals to merge it with WP:LOCAL, to continue developing it, or to go ahead and implement it as a guideline. Thanks. Edison 21:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support of Adolfo Farsari as FAC. This edit of yours to the article was no doubt well intentioned and I think that on balance it's an improvement -- but I think it's based on mistaken assumptions, that it's a pleasing tweak to something that's fundamentally wrong. I've made (rude?) comments about this matter in the article's talk page; do please take a look there and argue back there (or, possibly, even agree there). Thanks. -- Hoary 09:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
What a great article. Congratulations on getting it on the main page, and thank you for writing it. :-)

I wanted to thank you for the copy editing you've been doing on the Platform game article. I've reverted and changed a couple minor things, usually where the edits lent themselves to difficult or choppy transitions, but I do appreciate your help on the article, and I hope you continue. Frogacuda 01:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry that your edits keep getting deleted by the anti-furry editors. Don't give up trying, though. I might have more information for you soon, depending on my research. :) Lithorien 06:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Because you have been working so hard to try to resolve the dispute, I am requesting that you once again help in resolving the dispute. I am filing a request for Arbitration, as it has become clear that Trodel will not abide by any decision we try to come to in the RfC. You won't be asked to do much, I think, just give your statement, much as you have for the RfC. Your help would be most appreciated. TheGreenFaerae 09:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed and professional response. I'm not sure how to go about finding the graduation years of some of the notable alumni. Is a link that details why a person is considered a notable alumnus insufficient?

To SHimeru,
About your editing of the fairhills page, the competition that they are competeing is the Rock Estedford. Its a major dance competition that takes place all over the world. Its run by the Australian Goverenment and its m,ain purpose is to encourage some other interests apart from drugs and alcahol in High School students, as well as them making friendships and learning dance skills. All the placings Fairhills claim to have are true, and that can be varified on the Rock Estedford website. Please return the information, as I cannot, not being an old enough member. Thanks!
It's been a week and a bit since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out. Thanks a lot for participating in my RfA; I hope to do a good job. If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_ dzasta 13:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi-
I'm the one who posted the bit about the Arts Institute. I am a member of the Arts Institute, and have been good friends with the coordinator of the program for several years now. In regards to your deletion of the Arts Institute section of the Arcata High School page; although I did gain explicit permission to post the information from the program coordinator, you're right, to be fair to Wikipedia, it needs to be properly cited. Thanks for the heads up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RAryanpur ( talk • contribs) 07:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for stoping all that vandalism on the Hermitage High School (Virginia) page. That guy is pretty annoying. Eventualy ill make you an award of some sort..."Protector of the Hermitage" or someting.
Hi, would you mind checking that your comment to this poll is correct as it now stands? There was an edit conflict at the time I was trying to restore it after restoring Hipocrit's content. Thanks. The text I added is below in case it helps you make sense of this. -- Spartaz Humbug! 20:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me.

It's not a case of "either it is inactive or it isn't". It's quite possible that something is inactive at some point, and becomes active again at some later point. Note that {{ historical}} is not the same as {{ rejected}}; see also WP:POL. >Radiant< 10:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

05:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem. Just an explanation, I sometimes create the /Sandbox subpages when I'm about to commit a major upgrade to the page and I want users to check on the change first. I believe I created more such pages, especially in the Template namespace. I'm responsible for the Geobox templates and before making some significant changes I also create a subpage named /Sandbox which is then tested on more pages, that's why I don't create them in my userspace. Of course, it's OK to delete such pages when the change has been commited (or refused). – Caroig 07:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.
Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»==Nichalp «Talk»= 15:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I find your closure of the AfD on
Depictions of God in popular culture questionable, though I do have a
vested interest in the matter. Vote count isn't everything, but this was 7-3 in favor of deletion, and as you pointed out the arguments were stronger on the deletion side too. It's hard to interpret the merge votes one way or the other but if pressed, I'd say the "smerge" vote (slight merge) favors deletion more than keeping and the other one favors merging more than keeping, which makes 8-4. I think a DRV is inappropriate (as the article wasn't deleted) so I'm not starting one, but given that you're new to adminship, would you mind asking at
WP:ANI for some second opinions from uninvolved admins? If not, no biggie, I will just nominate it again in a couple of months if when it isn't cleaned up. I may sound cynical on the matter, but the reason these articles are so bad is that they are abandoned by their creators, so I see little reason to hope that a cleanup will happen.

What's wrong with the templates? Kingjeff 00:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
ok. I didn't know that. They originally looked like perfectly good templates. Kingjeff 00:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It is a WOT reference. My name is super common and to register a username with any variation of that is always impossible. My first internet experience was around 1994 with a Prodigy BB about WOT and I have used this name (with variation) for user accounts ever since. It is funny to be reminded where it came from, I hardly think much of it now considering the long years between books and my complete lack of participation in any online fandom since 1996. Which I imagine has come along way since Bulliten Boards and The FAQ (one of the first pages I ever visted on the WWW!) It is hard to even think of the internet without the web these days. I have seen a few other names from WOT around. There is a Nae'blis and I think a few more. Congrats with the admin bit!--BirgitteSB 01:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added a few more citations, especially to the sections you metnioned. Can you take a look and see if this is what you meant? Dåvid Fuchs ( talk / frog blast the vent core!) 16:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
The article
Inari (mythology) you nominated as a
good article has passed
, see
Talk:Inari (mythology) for eventual comments about the article. Good luck in future nominations.

Should I do a {{prod}} or go to full AfD? (My inclination is prod.)

No problem. Just an explanation, I sometimes create the /Sandbox subpages when I'm about to commit a major upgrade to the page and I want users to check on the change first. I believe I created more such pages, especially in the Template namespace. I'm responsible for the Geobox templates and before making some significant changes I also create a subpage named /Sandbox which is then tested on more pages, that's why I don't create them in my userspace. Of course, it's OK to delete such pages when the change has been commited (or refused). – Caroig 07:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.
Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»==Nichalp «Talk»= 15:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I find your closure of the AfD on
Depictions of God in popular culture questionable, though I do have a
vested interest in the matter. Vote count isn't everything, but this was 7-3 in favor of deletion, and as you pointed out the arguments were stronger on the deletion side too. It's hard to interpret the merge votes one way or the other but if pressed, I'd say the "smerge" vote (slight merge) favors deletion more than keeping and the other one favors merging more than keeping, which makes 8-4. I think a DRV is inappropriate (as the article wasn't deleted) so I'm not starting one, but given that you're new to adminship, would you mind asking at
WP:ANI for some second opinions from uninvolved admins? If not, no biggie, I will just nominate it again in a couple of months if when it isn't cleaned up. I may sound cynical on the matter, but the reason these articles are so bad is that they are abandoned by their creators, so I see little reason to hope that a cleanup will happen.

What's wrong with the templates? Kingjeff 00:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
ok. I didn't know that. They originally looked like perfectly good templates. Kingjeff 00:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It is a WOT reference. My name is super common and to register a username with any variation of that is always impossible. My first internet experience was around 1994 with a Prodigy BB about WOT and I have used this name (with variation) for user accounts ever since. It is funny to be reminded where it came from, I hardly think much of it now considering the long years between books and my complete lack of participation in any online fandom since 1996. Which I imagine has come along way since Bulliten Boards and The FAQ (one of the first pages I ever visted on the WWW!) It is hard to even think of the internet without the web these days. I have seen a few other names from WOT around. There is a Nae'blis and I think a few more. Congrats with the admin bit!--BirgitteSB 01:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know much about taggin pages for deletion. Can you explain why dated prod was better than speedy? You can reply right here, if you want. - Peregrine Fisher 03:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
