The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar | |
I present you with the Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for reverting the vandalism on my user page. Thanks a lot. (C/ PVT) G2sai 01:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC) |
I need your advice again. Take a look at the recent history of James Guthrie. A new editor has made some good faith edits based on primary sources he/she claims to have in his/her possession. I don't know how best to handle this. On one hand, I don't doubt that this editor has the sources; on the other, he/she is changing information based on a tertiary source authored by one of Kentucky's foremost historians. At the least, the <ref> tags need to be changed if the IP's edits are left intact. What do you think is the appropriate course of action? Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 13:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Me again. Can you help me keep an eye on Bellarmine University? A new editor is adding some info that looks to me to be WP:COATRACK-ish. I don't want to run afoul of WP:3RR, and I don't really have time to leave any kind of coherent message on his/her talk page at the moment. Your help would be appreciated, and of course, feel free to let me know if you think I'm making the wrong call here. Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 17:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, my RFA was closed today with a final tally of 75 ½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your participation in it. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns. Special thanks go to Schmidt, MICHAEL Q., TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 — talk 20:15, 15 May 2009 (UTC) |

You really ought not respond to every opposer. So far, you've refuted and answered pretty well, but I'd stop now, lest you give the appearance of contentiousness or badgery. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 14:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Please note that my question at your RFA doesn't just say "optional" because the template inserts that word. It truly is. Yintaɳ 14:57, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my
"RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (
Ceoil,
Noroton and
Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read
Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

Sorry, I meant to post here earlier.
I'm sorry to say that I've closed your RfA as unsuccessful - no consensus. Thank you for running for admin - Wikipedia needs more admins. I hope you won't be too dismayed - we need you as an editor, too.
On a more personal note, (ie speaking now as an editor, not a Bureaucrat) the opposes in your RfA are really not too dreadful and I would urge you to ponder them over the next few months - it could well be that you can address them and if you're still interested in being an admin, you may be able to pass second time.
Once again, thank you for standing and for all your efforts on Wikipedia. -- Dweller ( talk) 13:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey, friend. Didn't know you had an RFA open. I would have supported. Drop me a line next time you re-apply. BTW, if you're looking to get some content creation experience (per the failed RFA), I'd always welcome your help on my (possibly unrealistic) project of making Governors of Kentucky a good topic. If all my current WP:GACs are promoted, I'll have every governor from Shelby to Robinson (excepting Crittenden) to at least GA status. That takes us from statehood to the middle of the Civil War. I generally do better with historical figures rather than folks still living and active in politics. Given a) your interest in WP:BLP, b) concerns about your ideology raised at RFA and c) my own personal self-interest, it'd be great if you could start at Beshear and work backward. That'd give you a chance to show you could treat some controversial folks on both sides of the aisle in an NPOV way. (Beshear is pushing casino gambling, Fletcher was charged with improper hiring, Patton had an infidelity scandal and is now heading up the Council on Postsecondary Education, Jones is now a horse industry lobbyist pushing casinos, etc.) If you're interested, let me know. If not, no biggie. But let me know when you re-apply for adminship either way. Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 14:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
As a contributor to Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content/RFC_on_use_of_sports_team_logos, you have been included in a request for formal mediation regarding the subject at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Use of Sports Logos. With your input and agreement to work through mediation, it is hoped we can achieve a lasting solution. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 13:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The article is up for deletion and I'm attempting to clean up the redirects that were created by the author(s) of the spoof article (i.e., "Russian Pride", etc.) You can read more here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Charlie_Zelenoff
Vintagekits has been creating links on the Kimbo Slice page, an MMA fighter who performed on CBS. He has linked, redirected, and promoted the Charlie Zelenoff page. I have no idea what affiliation, if any, vintagekits has to Mr. Zelenoff but he has been investing a lot of energy into the Charlie Zelenoff spoof page.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an anon user took care of the edits. But I would keep an eye on the sock just in case and revert as necessary. If it gets to bad, let AIV know. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 23:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for posting on your page, i could not figure out how to send a message.
Mike Opat is a relatively unknown politician who has recently posted a huge wiki page on himself (ip address was registered to Hennepin County Govt Center). I am attempting to pare this page down to an appropriate amount if information that is not insanely one sided. I appreciate wiki editors, but a page this large is not appropriate for a person of his stature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.224.76.64 ( talk) 23:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Clerk note: Please could you revisit, and provide better diffs. Specifically;
Hi, I was recently going over recent request closures when I noticed that you made a mistake on
this request. In this case the appropriate action would have been to create the account and I have since done this for you. Please read the ACC user
guide and/or be more careful when handling future requests as users who make frequent errors may have their ACC access removed at the discretion of a ACC admin. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me on my talkpage or your favorite ACC admin. Cheers

Acdixon told me I should say hello, so I am doing so. I used to edit Wikipedia quite frequently, but took a somewhat long break due to life changes (medical retirement from the Army and moving associated with job). Just letting you know if you need help with something, I'd be glad to lend a hand, provided I am able. -- Steven Williamson ( HiB2Bornot2B) - talk ▓▒░ Go Big Blue! ░▒▓ 21:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

That edit I made on the vitiglo page or whatever it was was part of an experiment I am conducting to try and prove that Wikipedia is a reliable source of information. So far, the longest it has taken is 22 minutes for an editor to remove my edit, which truly proves it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.50.165.110 ( talk • contribs) 00:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
