A landslide victory for The JPS (aka RFA thanks)

Hey, Linuxerist/May 2006, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight.
If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever...
Now, to that bottle of wine waiting for me...

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.
  4. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop.
  5. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon.
Signed...

Those vandals were especially busy today. Sorry about the edit conflict. I noticed you don't have a geo cat on your user page. Have you thought about adding [[Category:Wikipedians in Georgia, USA|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]? — Viriditas | Talk 07:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Will you join My Picture of the Day? The reason I have it, is so images that aren't Featured quality can still be featured. Anybody can put a picture there. All you have to do is pick a day for your picture, and create a page in "User:GeorgeMoney/Month DayNumber, Year". Then, use the following format: Put {{SUBST:User:GeorgeMoney/potd/template|image=Your image.jpg|width=500px (optional)|description=<an optional description>|size=250px (optional)|user=Your Username}} on the page of the day you are creating (Remember for all of the optional variables that you don't use, totally remove them from the syntax). Then all you have to do is put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd}} on your userpage, and it will automatically make the picture for the day. If you want to have it show your picture forever, put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd|May 47, 2009}}. Replace "May 47, 2009" with the day your picture will be on.

Also, can you add your name to My Spamlist? Don't worry, my spam isn't bad and annoying like the Esperanza and Community Justice spam. My spam is just news and events in plain text formatting like this.

IQ Userbox

Where / how did you find your "IQ" to be 187 and what test is that number a result from? There are at least 4 standard IQ tests that I know of with varying results. 187 is very high... if you're going to state a number that high, you are obviously proud of it but have no proof(?). I think some statement proving such a claim would make it slightly more respectable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Say2joe ( talkcontribs)

Re:My RFA

Thank you for your recent vote on my RFA, regardless of how you voted. I appreciate all votes. I am going to wait until I have more edits in all namespaces. (And also improve answering impossible questions ;). Hopefully one day I will be more sucessful than it was looking, once I meet most user's voting standards. Again, thanks for your time! I am curious as to why you do not like my usage of images in my signature. It doesn't violate WP:SIG... ~Linuxerist E/ L/ T 02:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC) reply

I share the sentiment of Samir and others above. You are a fine editor, and you will likely gain enough experience to be an admin after a couple more months or so. In your RFA, I mentioned that I was a little concerned about the use of images in your signature. This is only a minor issue, and I think it is ridiculous to oppose an RFA based solely upon the candidate's signature. However, I would like to know why you insist that your signature does comply with WP:SIG. Is there something that makes your signature any different from other signatures containing images? -- TantalumTelluride 04:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Seeking Editor Review Commentary (If You Like)

Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike ( talk •  contribs) 19:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Tip of the day/June 30, 2006 -- GeorgeMoney  T· C 00:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Changed

Not at all. As a matter of fact, if you have any tips on how to figure that out in a timely manner, I'm open to suggestion. I find that if I take to long looking at the talk page, someone else reverts it and VP will process the rollback, then continue to add a duplicate warn for the same entry. So anyway, I take a stab at it and err on the side not hammering them unless the content of the vandalism is particularly egregious – then I hit it with a higher warn – even for a second time.

If you want to have it show your picture forever, put {{User:GeorgeMoney/potd|May 47, 2009}}. Replace "May 47, 2009" with the day your picture will be on.

Also, can you add your name to My Spamlist? Don't worry, my spam isn't bad and annoying like the Esperanza and Community Justice spam. My spam is just news and events in plain text formatting like this.

IQ Userbox

Where / how did you find your "IQ" to be 187 and what test is that number a result from? There are at least 4 standard IQ tests that I know of with varying results. 187 is very high... if you're going to state a number that high, you are obviously proud of it but have no proof(?). I think some statement proving such a claim would make it slightly more respectable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Say2joe ( talkcontribs)

Re:My RFA

Thank you for your recent vote on my RFA, regardless of how you voted. I appreciate all votes. I am going to wait until I have more edits in all namespaces. (And also improve answering impossible questions ;). Hopefully one day I will be more sucessful than it was looking, once I meet most user's voting standards. Again, thanks for your time! I am curious as to why you do not like my usage of images in my signature. It doesn't violate WP:SIG... ~Linuxerist E/ L/ T 02:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC) reply

I share the sentiment of Samir and others above. You are a fine editor, and you will likely gain enough experience to be an admin after a couple more months or so. In your RFA, I mentioned that I was a little concerned about the use of images in your signature. This is only a minor issue, and I think it is ridiculous to oppose an RFA based solely upon the candidate's signature. However, I would like to know why you insist that your signature does comply with WP:SIG. Is there something that makes your signature any different from other signatures containing images? -- TantalumTelluride 04:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Seeking Editor Review Commentary (If You Like)

Hi. In conjunction with my RfA (that you voted on), I have created an editor review, to give people a chance to comment as to ways in which I can branch out or alter my contributions to Wikipedia. An RfA seems to solely focus on how one's temperment and contributions relate to how they might handle administrative powers (and the consensus on that seems to be that I'm not quite ready); the editor review opens things up a little more to a larger focus, and I'd love to hear community feedback in the sense of that larger focus, too. If you feel you've already expressed yourself sufficiently when casting your vote, then by all means don't worry about it, but if any thoughts come to mind or if you'd like to expound upon any suggestions or commentary, it would be appreciated. In any case, I appreciated you taking the time to express your opinion on my RfA, and I thank you for that. — WCityMike ( talk •  contribs) 19:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC) reply

How do you modify your signature. so that when i leave four tildes, it has the E/L/T buttons you have, or whatever icons... Adam the atom 00:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Tip of the day/June 30, 2006 -- GeorgeMoney  T· C 00:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Changed

Not at all. As a matter of fact, if you have any tips on how to figure that out in a timely manner, I'm open to suggestion. I find that if I take to long looking at the talk page, someone else reverts it and VP will process the rollback, then continue to add a duplicate warn for the same entry. So anyway, I take a stab at it and err on the side not hammering them unless the content of the vandalism is particularly egregious – then I hit it with a higher warn – even for a second time.

File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg Hello Linuxerist. Thank you for your support at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to working with you in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the sunny Georgian summer! Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC) reply
