Ok, I've thought it over... No offense intended, but I would be more comfortable with a nominator who has more experience... it takes more than pointing out barnstars and not having major issues to be a good nomination. In addition, I feel I haven't fully prepared myself for an RfA just yet (Though I would bet that I'll probably never be ready for an RfA fully when I eventually run...). Sorry guys, but I must decline this nomination.

I really hand it to you for going through RfA and dealing with it. I couldn't stand it for more than 7 hours and it is a lot harder than it looks, especially all the blatantly stupid things people say, it's a bloodbath.

Yes, what you say is correct. However, I did not mean to imply that you should create an account and then immediately chime into an RfA. New editors should really not participate in RfAs. I stayed out of them for my first year. I was only suggesting that getting an account, and acquiring the greater access and richer experience that having one provides, is a simple, anonymous matter.

Hi again! I see you've recently gotten back to some content creation. That's good news! Although I don't understand how content creation/editing counts in the admin role, this is at least a step forward. When I read through your most recent RFA I saw that some off-wiki issues contributed to some of the opposes you received.
Think this way: "OK, I'll do some vandal-fighting and WP:UAA for 4–6 hours, then I'll do some content creation for an hour or two." I think that the opposers want a confirmation for that you do have content experience.
It may take some time before you finally get the mop – but think this way: "It's better if I get it in 2 years than never getting it." But really, as to what you want to do and which way you want to go is your.
Happy vandal-fighting!

To The Thing That Knows Eveything: I notice that this latest version of Huggle (0.9.11) seems to log one out quite quickly when it’s idle. Say for instance one is reviewing some other edits by a vandalizing IP, when one gets back to HG, one finds oneself logged out. So, is there a parameter in huggle.cs that can be changed to increase the time for automatically loging the Huggler out? Thanks! (Btw, I was glad to see that when HG was disabled on election night, you were still on, Huggling away with your custom version of the product!) — Spike Toronto 02:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I know it's not just you, but I seem to notice people using font instead of span. The use of deprecated tags is one of my pet peeves.

The Thing That Should Not Be, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion#The Thing That Should Not Be and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the nomination (unless you wish not to participate); such removal will not end the deletion discussion (actually it will). Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :).
[3] That is one response to the RfA failure which I admit I did not expect. As I said above, I (and many others) will do whatever it takes to help, though I have to admit I'm not a good writer myself and will probably be best able to help by not making large edits to your articles as that would only make them (in the minds of those most eager to find faults) "not really yours". That, and I've never produced anything better than start-class myself. Can't really help finding sources either because I don't have easy access to a library or any other online resources that are not available to the general public. I could maybe help come up with ideas for things to write about if you can't find anything at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Unless you plan to focus on improving existing articles, rather than creating new ones. Maybe what I really should do is get on Huggle more often and try to fill up some of the gap left by your not being there. — Soap — 12:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I am glad you are writing content, however I still have concerns over temperament and maturity.

Note, due to this recent development, I feel compelled to postpone my "Huggle hiatus" until further notice. My custom version still works, and in my view, the program is being disabled on a ridiculous account of user error and negligence which should only affect the users involved (every user is responsible for their own edits, not the program), not every single global Huggle user.

Hi. In your last RfA, how did you count the amount of pages you've tagged for speedy deletion? Did you use a tool? If yes, then which? Or did you count manually´?

Hi again! I see you've recently gotten back to some content creation. That's good news! Although I don't understand how content creation/editing counts in the admin role, this is at least a step forward. When I read through your most recent RFA I saw that some off-wiki issues contributed to some of the opposes you received.
Think this way: "OK, I'll do some vandal-fighting and WP:UAA for 4–6 hours, then I'll do some content creation for an hour or two." I think that the opposers want a confirmation for that you do have content experience.
It may take some time before you finally get the mop – but think this way: "It's better if I get it in 2 years than never getting it." But really, as to what you want to do and which way you want to go is your.
Happy vandal-fighting!

To The Thing That Knows Eveything: I notice that this latest version of Huggle (0.9.11) seems to log one out quite quickly when it’s idle. Say for instance one is reviewing some other edits by a vandalizing IP, when one gets back to HG, one finds oneself logged out. So, is there a parameter in huggle.cs that can be changed to increase the time for automatically loging the Huggler out? Thanks! (Btw, I was glad to see that when HG was disabled on election night, you were still on, Huggling away with your custom version of the product!) — Spike Toronto 02:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
I have filed a request in hopes of clarifying the matter one way or the other. Whatever the result, I will accept it and move on. Jehochman Talk 15:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
I know it's not just you, but I seem to notice people using font instead of span. The use of deprecated tags is one of my pet peeves. A version of your signature using span would be (you may want to expand font-family to include fallback fonts in the event that Segoe Print isn't installed on the machine):

Is there a way to turn off that "will not revert because the target version is identical to the last revision" feature on huggle? It comes up with that when there is clear vandalism. Inka 888 00:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
The Thing That Should Not Be, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:GlassCobra/Editor for deletion#The Thing That Should Not Be and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the nomination (unless you wish not to participate); such removal will not end the deletion discussion (actually it will). Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :).
[3] That is one response to the RfA failure which I admit I did not expect. As I said above, I (and many others) will do whatever it takes to help, though I have to admit I'm not a good writer myself and will probably be best able to help by not making large edits to your articles as that would only make them (in the minds of those most eager to find faults) "not really yours". That, and I've never produced anything better than start-class myself. Can't really help finding sources either because I don't have easy access to a library or any other online resources that are not available to the general public. I could maybe help come up with ideas for things to write about if you can't find anything at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Unless you plan to focus on improving existing articles, rather than creating new ones. Maybe what I really should do is get on Huggle more often and try to fill up some of the gap left by your not being there. — Soap — 12:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
I am glad you are writing content, however I still have concerns over temperament and maturity. If you can avoid making any more comments like the one that forced myself and many others to oppose fixed, I will support an RFA for you six months from now.

Note, due to this recent development, I feel compelled to postpone my "Huggle hiatus" until further notice. My custom version still works, and in my view, the program is being disabled on a ridiculous account of user error and negligence which should only affect the users involved (every user is responsible for their own edits, not the program), not every single global Huggle user.

Good job looking out for talk page vandalism especially Sophie's talk page because they're saying stuff about her age. You are certainly a vandalism destroyer even though you don't have that user name anymore. Vandalism can't wait until it sleeps, either. WAYNE OLAJUWON 02:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC) |

Hi. In your last RfA, how did you count the amount of pages you've tagged for speedy deletion? Did you use a tool? If yes, then which? Or did you count manually´? Also, where can I find the tool which counts the amount of edits a specific user has made to a specific page? Hey Mid ( contributions) 10:49–10:51, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I need your serious advice on something; as you can see from my signature, my username is Nicky Nouse. That's an obvious promotional username for
Disney's
Mickey Mouse, right? So, should I report myself to the administrators, or do you think my name is acceptable? I do not work for Disney, and am more of a
Nickelodeon enthusiast. Thank you for any feedback.

The Thing, I know you have a message on your userpage saying that you prefer to have your pages left open for anons to edit, but now that you're editing less often, I wonder if you'd consider waiving that ideal? I've protected your page for 3 days on the rationale that it's very unlikely than an anon (or anyone else) would notice something important that needed to be fixed. If you do not want this please let me (or someone else) know. — Soap — 01:35, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
