SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 20:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello! While generally I agree with you on "voting", this seemed to be a rather simple matter-simply to see if there was still interest in holding the debate, or whether it should be tagged historical and possibly merged. I see no trouble with getting a "quick snapshot" of opinion in this case, so long as no one's going to consider it binding. Seraphimblade 00:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
FYI, there appears to be some opinion that the remarks you struck here were not personal attacks. I don't see it, myself. Friday (talk) 03:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Yuser, he has full authority over his RfA votes. We can't strike out votes just because the tone might be overly harsh or incivil. Also, don't make threats against other users ("formal action"). He is entitled to his opinion, and he did provide a reason for his oppose vote. Nishkid 64 00:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you be able to contribute to this thread at WP:AN about an AfD for Troll organization that you closed? I'm not sure what you meant by the close of 'redirect', and it would be good if you could clarify things. Thanks. Carcharoth 11:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
On January 10th you reverted my contribution to the Jesse Norman article and claimed what I had entered was vandalism. Please familiarise yourself with the meaning of vandalism before reverting constructive edits in future. WindsorFan 14:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. This is my third RfA, and it is again going to be denied, not because I don't qualify, but because many administrators don't want to "share the power". The truth of the matter is, I don't look at adminship as a way to control people, but as a way to keep Wikipedia as reliable as possible. Other admins do not feel this way. They use adminship to demonstrate their power at making innocent people upset.
However, I wish to thank you for your kind message, since I'm sure it will be the only one I recieve in regards to my recent Request for Adminship.

I am interested about adoptation thanks-- "P-Machine" 08:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Yuser, thanks for your support. I wouldn't really consider myself a deletionist (I'm signed up at AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD), though I don't mind them - my personal wikiphilosophy is here. Your point about frustration though is a very good point. Like that chap on my RfA said, I'm going to take all this criticism to heart and be even more nice than I already am, whether the RfA passes or not. ;D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Yuser31415, I cordially accept your adoption offer; I like Wikipedians who are very active and dedicated (1000 edits in fourteen days is no small feat!).
I've been on Wikipedia for a long time (since 2004, I think), mostly to browse through the articles... Only recently have I seriously considered to become a contributer. I'm actually looking to learn about the conventions, procedures - just about anything Wikipedian - and become a more active and productive member in the community. By the way, you can just call me A. Ou 03:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Many thanks!
Yuser31415,
I have been watching the talk page for 24.10.238.144 ( talk · contribs) and noticed that you've just accused this person of being a "blatant spammer".
I think a little bit of WP:AGF is in order. The person behind that IP address is Dell Schanze, a rather well-known person in the Salt Lake City area who is widely known to be a paragliding enthusiast. His attraction to Wikipedia is not typical - what led him here was the presence of a Wikipedia article about him. After you read the article, finding him writing about paragliding is no surprise.
Seeing him insert a couple of inappropriate links is no surprise either. Mr. Schanze isn't a seasoned Wikipedia editor. And having been here for a while myself, I totally understand the gut revulsion to seeing anonymous IP addresses drop links into articles. However those edits are relatively few compared to his other ones. This person didn't "drive by" to drop links. To give him a "final warning" as his only warning, and accuse him of being a "blatant spammer", is biting the newbies in the most textbook sense. Please lighten up the warning and replace it with a more appropriate one before I do it for you. Reswobslc 04:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Please do some full research on a case before making a "3RR" accusation and posting it on my talk page:

I just noticed by chance that someone changed the text of the userbox
This user supports the United Nations. |
from "This user supports the United Nations" to "This user DOES NOT support the United Nations". I don't think that change was legitimate, so I reverted the edit back to the previous one. I'm not exactly sure if it qualifies as vandalism, but the person behind it is User:Soldier2000 - I'm wondering what to do about it. Please see the Page History
