RFA offer

Yes please. I've been nominated for adminship before, but have been waiting for someone to ask again as I think I've improved my standards since then and removed my Wikipedia essays some of which were unhelpful.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Cool, thanks, I look forward to seeing how it goes.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and Happy New Year

Firstly, let me wish you a very happy New Year and thank you for your help in the Milhist Tag & Assess 2007 drive.

Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes.

Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be great to have your feedback/comments and participation in the recently-set-up Tag & Assess workshop The idea is to see what lessons we can learn from the 2007 drive to make the 2008 one more efficient and enjoyable.

Thanks again for your help, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 10:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar on my talk page?

Hey there.

I appreciate the gesture, but if your intent was to leave me a Barnstar, you've forgotten to mention a reason as a parameter to it and it's a little bit broken right now.  :-) You can fix it a posteriori by editing the {{{1}}} bit that's leftover from the subst: if you want. — Coren ^(talk) 01:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello

		The Minor Barnstar
		Thank you for helping me out with removing some categories. Although they were minor edits, I highly appreciate that you helped out with them. It makes my work so much easier as well. Maxim(talk) 14:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

You're very welcome! Thanks for the barnstar; I appreciate it. Nousernamesleft^{talk and matrix?} 17:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks card

Hello, Phoenix-wiki, thank you for participating in my request for adminship, which closed successfully with 47 supports, 3 opposes, and 0 neutrals. I am glad that the community thinks it can trust me with these tools; I will try and use my new mop and bucket (or vacuum cleaner!) carefully. I would like to personally thank you for your helpful questions and comments. Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 18:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi

See your coaching page.

Hi Phoenix-Wiki. Thank you for taking an interest in this issue of operational categories. Have you looked at the Military operations article I am rebuilding? Its a problem that has been a source of trouble for professional military theorists in English, and I have made several suggestions, but due to the way Wiki works some can not be implemented because they sound same. -- mrg3105mrg3105 23:15, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3

Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great new year, --Elonka 18:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

My userpage offensive??

I thought I could do whatever I wanted on MY OWN USER-PAGE.. but since this is evidently not so, I have changed my site to not offend anyone. And now your name is on the list too. These are all editors who look at EVERYTHING, and always has a comment or two, but hardly ever add any new information themselves. Just delete and complain. P.S: Why did you go to see my user-page, is this something you frequently do, look at user-pages that might be offensive, or was it just a coincidence? Kind Regards, KnatLouie (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Believe me, I can understand why it took a while, but it looks great!! I figure I'm going to freak out Betacommandbot asking him to do something with it as soon as I can finish the Melanesia request for him. John Carter (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
