Re : =)

thank spam

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with 194 supporting, 9 opposing, and 4 neutral. Your kindness and constructive criticism is very much appreciated. I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers, Anthony and Acalamari for their nominations. Thank you again, VanTucky

AfD for NVC

While I do think that the nomination of this article for deletion was wrongheaded, I also note that it does not meet the criteria for speedy keep. What is your thinking on this? Sunray (talk) 08:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Who is that directed to? And, the first close or the second? SynergeticMaggot (talk) 08:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I mistakenly put it on the BB's talk page. I meant nominating closing the article with SK in the first place. See my comments here. Sunray (talk) 09:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't follow. Nominating an AfD for speedy keep? And I've responded. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 09:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm talking about closing frivolous AfDs. Sunray (talk) 09:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

• Hey, just for the record, I'm not the one that took this to ANI, and I agrere with you that it didn't need to go there either, I just participated in the discussion once it was there. Beeblbrox (talk) 19:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh thats right. My mind has been on other things lately. My bad o:-) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Courtesy note discussion at WP:AN/I

SM IMHO your actions in again closing the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nonviolent communication are outside acceptable etiquette as such I have asked for opinions other editors at WP:AN/I#User:SynergeticMaggot. Please join the discussion there. Gnangarra 09:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

SynergeticMaggot, please don't edit-war over AFD closures. Yes, the AFD could have been closed as a "speedy keep" (and I've reclosed it as such) but once reverted, you should have left it alone. Neıl ☎ 09:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Whoa. Not so fast. I'm not involved in a revert war. I merely reclosed appropriately. It was agreed upon that the first close was inappropriate. I fail to see how this is incorrect. I'll join in on ANI if I feel it needs my input. But thanks for letting me know. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 10:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:N/CA

Because of the limited discussion, this proposal was marked rejected. It can be resurrected at any time, and may become useful in the future, but for now, just wanted to thank you for your contributions. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:45, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Simple Gifts

I'm happy to bow to consensus in this instance, since that is what Wikipedia is all about, and I hereby withdraw the AfD for the article in question. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance to you in any other matter in the future. All the best, Qworty (talk) 06:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

AfD help

Thanks for your help on those AfD's, I did not know about adding the subst:ab template at the end. But thanks to you I do, and I will be sure to add that in all future closes. Oddly the new admin school does not deal with closing of AfD's, and these were the first few I've closed. Thanks again for your help!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll be archiving soon - specifically on the traditional May 1st spring archiving date, huh? - and I'm just going to do cut and paste jobs for the time being.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback permission

For the purpose of discussion with that person, please return to me on my talkpage as to the administrator who granted you rollback rights and the date that you gained those rights. Thank you. --VS ^talk 21:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback removal

I would have preferred discussing this situation with the administrator that granted you rollback rights but since you will not easily provide the name of that person (it was a simple and polite request) I have at this time removed your rights based on this exchange of edits and in particular this comment. That series of edits gives me cause to be concerned over your use and understanding of this tool. Can I suggest that you look very carefully at all of the issues surrounding use of rollback - and also that you consider more carefully your responses to its use - particularly that you do not state that it is your consideration that you can use it any way I wish actually. I will be happy to return to you with those rights once you can establish a greater understanding. Best wishes until then. --VS ^talk 22:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you for your response at my talk page. If it was a mistake you could have reverted your edit before taking the argument to a long established editor that was justifiably upset by your acting off the cuff, after "a long day at work". You also did not explain to that editor or to the community at large why you think it is your right to use rollback in anyway you wish. As I said I would rather have discussed the removal with the administrator who gave you the rights first so that I could get a second opinion about you as an editor - but you dragging out the appropriate response until you feel it becomes necessary to criticise me because my action is forced to be taken against you, does not help the process. Let me know when you are ready to have me reconsider a return of those rights - perhaps after you realise that not everything you do with rollback is correct. Until then, my best wishes. 23:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

You assume too much. I never intended to criticize you. But something like this needs to be talked about before you go and remove rollback. You also, still, are misunderstanding. I've already explained and my usage of words was, sadly, ambiguous. That is my fault entirely. But that still is no reason to remove it. The edit I made, was meant to be an undue edit, which was explained as well. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 23:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Lady Aleena's RfA

SynergeticMaggot...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Keeper's brain hurts.

OK, SM, trying to wrap my brain around this. Tell me where I'm amiss. My biggest gap in the sequence is between April 22, where you inadvertently "rolled back" an edit by Enigmaman instead of "undo-ing", and April 29th, when it was subsequently removed. What happened in between there? I'm seeing one wrong edit (wrong use of rollback), a discourse with Enigmaman to clear the air (and some unfortunate turns of phrase mixed in that wouldn't have existed if you and E-man were actually sitting and having a beer - damn you keyboards). I'm seeing that basically die down to nothing only to resurface with VirtualSteve querying about "who gave you rollback rights", 7 days later, and another round of confusing posts littered over at least 3 talk pages. What happened in between there? Is this all really over one button click? I'm hoping that VS is still reading this as well, because I'm honestly at a loss as to what's going on. I'm glad to be a third opinion in this, but this really just seems like a whole lotta something over a whole lotta nothing. What am I mising? Build me a timeline, SM? Build me a timeline VS? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 14:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes this was all over one button click, compared to 2 years (registered) of using this nick and tons (about 10,000 edits) of edits, with a large hand full of edits reverting vandalism. One mistake, one misstep in communication to an editor, and an admin who watches the talk page to remove it without a required clarification. Notice how I never took this to ANI or to anyone in hopes of this being corrected. Nor have I brought this up with the admin who granted me rollback. I am still very pissed about this in general (I have a right to be) and have considered leaving the wiki in the last few days. I actually liked my user logs untainted (no blocks, bans, removal of rights). I'm leaving this one alone because it's making me mad enough to not be able to maintain my formal neutrality while editing. END of DISCUSSION (not getting loud with you Keeper, just in general).
