A consensus has been reached by your peers that you should be an admin. I have made it so. Please review Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and keep up the great work. Sincerely, Kingturtle ( talk) 13:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Jc37, you removed "awards" from WP:OCAT. I added to Wikipedia talk:OCAT a detailed list of all the award-winner discussions & outcomes since 2005, as well as a summary. I think it suggests that there is, in fact, consensus on that. Since you removed that because, as you said, you weren't certain there was consensus, would you please review the talk page & share your thoughts about consensus or lack thereof? -- Lquilter ( talk) 21:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your adminship. How much time do you spend wiki-ing per day? TunaSushi ( talk) 21:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Should be Category:Mens' organizations, I think. -- Eliyak T· C 02:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I think "organizations of men/women" just doesn't sound right. Also, I imagine there aren't nearly as many organizations "for" men as women, even in relative terms.
On another topic, I've been trying to document some of the non-profit categories to see where they could be cleaned up ( here). The "social work" categories seemed particularly confusing, what with categories Social work organizations, Welfare and service organizations, Human welfare organizations and Social welfare charities. Of these, I'm not sure I see the benefit of Category:Human welfare organizations. Are you trying to distinguish welfare vs. service organizations? It seems like they are too closely connected. At any rate, the name seems too confusing. I certainly don't think a distinction is needed for human vs. animal welfare organizations. (Would we need a Category:Human organizations as opposed to Category:Animal organizations?) -- Eliyak T· C 16:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
It should be obvious that millions of wikipedia users have a different opnion on how discussion pages are to be used. Once you have gotten their agreement (and deleted their comments) let me know. -- IceHunter ( talk) 22:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
As a case is currently occurring at the Arbitration Commitee, i have placed the current MedCabal case on hold to prevent conflict occurring between any consensus that occurs at MedCab and any decisions that are made at ArbCom. I recommend you watch the outcomes and discussions that occur at ArbCom as you could be affected by them.
If you do do not want me as a mediator and wish for someone else to mediate after the ArbCom case is over then feel free to place a request on the MedCab talk page and then notify me so that i can see if your points are valid enough for me to recuse myself. I hope that this case will be dealt with soon. Seddon69 ( talk) 16:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
If you want more information, want to voice your opinion, or if you think you would be interested in participating, Take a look here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Gender_Studies#Subcategory.2FTask_Force_of_Feminism or stop by my talk page and let me know. Thanks! Just thought you might be interested in the discussion. -- Grrrlriot ( talk) 20:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, if you have time, please comment on my suggestion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 February 3#Category:Categories by year, which is still open. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Nice job on the cleanup. <g> I was particularly amused to note that I had duplicated numbering. That was a LONG thread of conversation. Cheers, Lquilter ( talk) 16:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
For the past hour I have been working with a wikipedian to improve the Nadia Yassir page. Could you please check it, see if it now meets the WP:FICT criteria? Comments on my talk page, but also on the article page, if possible. To try getting a consensus on notability. Steve Crossin ( talk) 04:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I've just read your comment on the Minor Characters page, as you can probably see, I'm extensively working on the page to try to improve it. You mentioned something about an anchor? I'm relatively new to Wikipedia (actually seeking a mentor), so I'm not too good with this technical editing bits and pieces, and to be honest, I've been worried that all my edits would be reverted without any discussion.
One other topic, what is your opinion on splitting the page up into sections, of when a character first appeared on the series, for example, Charles Logan (even though he is not a minor character) first appeared in Season 4, so would be put into the Season 4 subsection.
It would be easier for me if you could reply on my talk page, thanks Steve Crossin ( talk) 14:59, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Also, thanks for shortening that section on Rayburn. It was far too long. Could the issue of Lynne Kresge also be addressed, its largely a copy and paste from Wiki24 Steve Crossin ( talk) 15:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I've been reading the Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-01-13 24 character merging of minor characters case, and I agree with some things, such as that not every single character warrants a character page, however, some characters do warrant a page. Just wondering, according to what has been discussed, what makes a character "notable", or is this up for interpretation?
Also, I've seen a large number of articles tagged for merging. I know there is a ((holdon)) template if a speedy deletion is contested, is there such a tag for merges? I'm not one to fight, just I requested to lucy (no personal attacks intended) that the merges be halted at least until the article is cleaned up. She largely disregarded my comment.
Do you have any particular policies you suggest I read? Steve Crossin ( talk) 15:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, thank you, it helps me alot. Most of the edits I've made were in accordance with WP:AGF, that they were to help the article (this was in regards to dividing the characters into Seasons.
And as for the anchors, I can take care of that. I've been using them all the time, just didn't realise they were called anchors. I'm also working on having all the characters redirect to their proper sections, example, searching for Yuri Suvarov currently will only redirect to the Minor characters page, and not the characters section. I know how to fix this up, so if possible, could it be left to done by me? It's probably the easiest thing I can do to improve the article.
Also, if I can find citations to pages that require citations, would this possibly change their status to "notable"? Steve Crossin ( talk) 15:50, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I have rechecked the Mike Doyle page, and I've seen a large quantity of the information has been deleted. I've found some sources on the internet that could verify his notability, that is, real world notability, but I'm still unsure as whether they are suitable citations. Would it be alright if I included them in the article, and put some sort of tag on the page, asking for the citations to be confirmed? However I am unsure of what template to use.
I'm sorry to bring this up, or to seem to target a particular person, however in this case, it is one particular person who is disregarding the injunction. Can you please check this section, and notify the user?

I wasn't aware that you can't protect featured articles but if that's true then by all means un-protect it. ( Lord Vader ( talk) 03:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC))
Hi, you recently participated in the re-naming discussion to change Category:Divas to Category:Prima donnas. [1] Category:Prima donnas has now been proposed for deletion. You might want to comment on the new discussion page [2]. Best wishes, Voceditenore ( talk) 08:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Journal of Pan African Studies, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

What was the meaning of the vandalism warning you gave me on my talk page? You didn't appear to actually revert the changes, which were clearly good faith changes. -- Lquilter ( talk) 22:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
What about schools like the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing? I'm hesitant to add it because I'm not sure if there's an "official" academically-accepted definition of HBCs, but it seems like it might belong. -- Lquilter ( talk) 23:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
