Things are good, but I'm pretty sick right now so I'm stuck at home trying to do all of the editing I've been meaning to do. Do you have any suggestions for something that needs to be worked on? I'm not sure what I want to work on next. Eventually I want to provide some information about menstruation in history, somewhere. --Ships at a Distance (talk) 20:23, 7 January 2009 (UTC) I meant what women used, how it was dealt with in different societies, etc. I think a lot of that information belongs on Culture and menstruation, but it needs a lot of work. And thanks for telling me about that user's page, it seems really useful. :) --Ships at a Distance (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC) Quick suggestion Don't know whether this has been brought up as part of your coaching, but WP:ROUGH is an excellent essay on when/what/how to semi-protect (or not). Basically a codification of common sense, but should be required reading for any admin-to-be ;) Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC) Hmm. Most of my suggestions would apply to non-admins as well, but here goes: Read the reading list. Please. Refer to it often; things change pretty quickly around here (even policies and guidelines; rarely in a big way, but enough to keep you on your toes) Become acquainted with the various user access levels. Become acquainted with oversight—how to request it, when it is necessary, etc. Keep wiki matters on-wiki and RL matters off-wiki. Be cool and stay cool. Don't give in to drama, and don't become party to it. Learn to walk away. Learn to point out others' mistakes tactfully (I think this quote is a particularly good example). Read this and remember it (for effect, pretend I just slapped you across the head) Be bold, but not reckless. Also, avoid pointing people to the latter page unless you know they won't take it the wrong way :) Never be afraid to ask. Remember: "admins are tools". No pun intended :) That's it, really. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC) Flagged Revs Hi, I noticed you voted oppose in the flag revs straw pole and would like to ask if you would mind adding User:Promethean/No to your user or talk page to make your position clear to people who visit your page :) - Thanks to Neurolysis for the template   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 07:19, 8 January 2009 (UTC) I have come prepared :) for a less ugly thing, see User:Promethean/No2   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 10:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/WereSpielChequers 2 Hi Cyclonenim, its now more than three months since Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/WereSpielChequers, and I'm contemplating running again. As you were one of the oppose votes last time I wondered if you could give me some pointers as to what you'd like to see change before my next RFA? ϢereSpielChequers 16:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Reply Because after my last RfA, I'm not sure that I will ever go through the process again. If I ever got the tools, I would only use them in certain places that I'm interested in (not AIV or AfD). And although I know all about the places I would work in, I haven't been very active in those areas, and I would receive opposes for that. It's a very brutal process to go through, and right now, it's not worth it just to get a few extra tools. See my last RfA, I got bashed in the head 32 times because of one question. Although understanding and realizing my mistake, the opposes piled in. Not many people are able to look at a bad situation where someone is able to understand the error that they made, and AGF that the person actually does understand. I've always been worried that I'll go back one day and type "Cool down blocks should be used" when I meant to say "Cool down blocks should never be used." It's that kind of mistake that within seconds, people will oppose, and never look back although "never" was added and the typo was noted (that was just an example). iMatthew // talk // 14:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC) See User talk:IMatthew/Editnotice. Just type your name in instead of mine. iMatthew // talk // 21:01, 11 January 2009 (UTC) Anyone can do it. Go to User talk:Cyclonenim/Editnotice, type what you want and save. That's it. ₰imonKSK 20:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC) mistake I edited nothing! I'm sure there's some way I can prove this if I really have to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.26.51 (talk) 16:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia Signpost, January 10, 2009 The Wikipedia Signpost Weekly Delivery Volume 5, Issue 2 10 January 2009 About the Signpost News and notes:Flagged Revisions and permissions proposals, hoax, milestones Wikipedia in the news  Dispatches: December themed Main Page Features and admins  Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News The Report on Lengthy Litigation  Home  |  Archives  |  Newsroom  |  Tip Line  |  Single-Page View Shortcut : WP:POST You are receiving this message because you have signed up for the Signpost spamlist.

Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_January_10#Category:Diseases_of_skin_appendages I ask, because I am most likely going to be proposing other renames in the future, and want to get a great consensus regarding the use of the word "condition". kilbad (talk) 12:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia Signpost, January 17, 2009 The Wikipedia Signpost Weekly Delivery Volume 5, Issue 3 17 January 2009 About the Signpost News and notes: New board members, changes at ArbCom Wikipedia in the news  Dispatches: Featured article writers—the 2008 leaders WikiProject Report: WikiProject Pharmacology  Features and admins Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News  The Report on Lengthy Litigation Home  |  Archives  |  Newsroom  |  Tip Line  |  Single-Page View Shortcut : WP:POST You are receiving this message because you have signed up for the Signpost spamlist.

Please do not do this; it breaks the page history. You should use the [move] button at the top of the page. If you cannot do this without deleting the page, you should ask an administrator to delete the page. I've fixed it, but please be more careful in the future.

MrKIA11 (talk) 15:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC) The problem was the underscores. You can't have them when you are transluding something. It was looking for a page called "Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Leland_William_Modjeski_(2nd_nomination)". MrKIA11 (talk) 15:13, 21 January 2009 (UTC) RfA thankspam Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which failed with 90/38/3; whether you supported, opposed or remained neutral. Special thanks go out to Moreschi, Dougweller and Frank for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board. Thanks again for your participation. I am currently concentrating my efforts on the Wikification WikiProject. It's fun! Please visit the project and wikify a few articles to help clear the backlog. If you can recruit some more participants, then even better. Apologies if you don't like RfA thankspam, this message was delivered by a bot which can't tell whether you want it or not.

Itsmejudith (talk), 22:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC) Denbot (talk) 22:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC) Insulted by a user Hello, I have been insulted repeatedly by User:Jimmi_Hugh on the talk page of Proprietary software. He used terms like: "you really are just talking gibberish now" "Your accusations of original research are pathetic" "I cannot believe I wasted my time on these arguments believing you to at least be rational". You can judge by yourself how / if I triggered this behavior or not, as: I made only one edit to the article, and felt that I had to explain in the talk page why I did this. He replaced it by his own (previous) formulation When I tried to explain why I felt that keeping the old formulation was WP:POV IMHO, he seemed to became "heated", and he finished by insulting me( It is NOT an edit war, since I did not change anything in the article after that: my first edit was also the last one. He seems to have a story of edit wars in this article. I don't ask him to be blocked for the moment, but I think that his behavior must not be tolerated here. I think he should be warned to cool down and not repeat what I see as an aggression now. Hervegirod (talk) 01:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Sorry about that. I followed wikipedia links from the Wikipedia:Administrators page and I landed there. I thought that all editors listed there were admins, and did not check the Admin column. I looked for the column Adminship and thought that it meant you were an administrator. My mistake. I'm now looking for a real administrator ;) - maybe you will be one in some time. BTW, the problem with this user is absolutely not the discussion (note that I did not engage in edit war, and made no further modification in the whole article), but the terms he employed toward me, which were insulting. Hervegirod (talk) 22:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC) No doubt Jimmi Hugh used PAs I honestly don't see how you can consider the abuse that Jimmi poured on Herve to be conducive to collaboration. I was surprised that anyone could support JH here, much less criticize Herve for having a thin skin. If I call you an arrogant liar, and tell you to find a cave somewhere if you don't like it, you wouldn't consider that an attack? And you honestly can't see how someone would? I'm gobsmacked. Aunt Entropy (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC) RfA thanks Thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with 80 support, 2 oppose, and 1 neutral. I appreciate all the comments I received and will endeavor to justify the trust the community has placed in me. R'n'B (call me Russ) 21:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC) User talk:Aunt Entropy In consideration of your comments here, and the tone you use, which made me feel at least a little less backed into a corner by a series of editors who did not bother to read the discussion when taking the side of the complainer alone; I'd like to respond agreeably to the proposal that I walk away. I do feel somewhat bad for having just responded to yet another user who misinterpreted the situation through lack of reading, and a wish to simply have his say, however I will make the promise to you alone that I'll simply remove all related pages from my Watchlist and get back to more productive editing. Thankyou for your time in this strange situation (I'm not used to arguments appearing without a single exchange of Vulgar language, and was honestly under the impression it was simply a less than agreeable, but on topic, discussion) and apologies again for the excessive amount of time other editors had to take away from editing to arbitrate what should have been a simple matter for both myself and Hervegirod to resolve. Have fun editing, and I hope any conflict in out later edits is more agreeable. - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 03:36, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia Signpost, January 24, 2009 The Wikipedia Signpost Weekly Delivery Volume 5, Issue 4 24 January 2009 About the Signpost Jimbo requests that developers turn on Flagged Revisions Report on accessing Wikipedia via mobile devices  News and notes: New chapters, new jobs, new knight and more Wikipedia in the news: Britannica, Kennedy, Byrd not dead yet  Dispatches: Reviewing featured picture candidates Features and admins  Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News The Report on Lengthy Litigation  Home  |  Archives  |  Newsroom  |  Tip Line  |  Single-Page View Shortcut : WP:POST You are receiving this message because you have signed up for the Signpost spamlist.

Regards--DFS454 (talk) 20:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC) Why? I understand that you are a successful individual that thrives on success as you have so strongly expressed it through your impeccable academic accolades. However, I strongly consider you read about the great Nilliam Townsiris, and how much he went through while still able to express his brilliance through the phenomenal work of his writing. The article is still under construction and our team is finding all the remaining references. If you are an administrator, please let your fellow administrators know about the construction of this article.
