I am leaving Wikipedia after all the Arb Com clerk drama's. I feel discouraged by these comments (that my help is not needed) and that I feel I am no good at anything (after having 2 out of 3 AFD closures overturned), further discouraging me. I were also going to have no/little time to edit. I therefore give The Placebo Effect permission to take the Signpost Tutorials I were going to write. I also apologize to Wiki-Phoenix for leaving while I were still being Admin-coached, therefore wasting the last 3 days of their time. Thank you to all editiors for your support. -- [[User:Whiteandnerdy111|Whiteandnerdy111]] ([[User talk:Whiteandnerdy111#top|talk]]) 05:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

== So you want admin coaching? == |
|||
I noticed your request for admin coaching. I could coach you if you want, though try not to think of it as "admin coaching", more "better wikipedian coaching".--[[User:Phoenix-wiki|<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 12pt; color: Black">Phoenix</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Phoenix-wiki|<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 12pt; color: Black">-</span>]][[User talk:Phoenix-wiki|<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 12pt; color: Black">wiki</span>]] 20:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC) |

Hi Whiteandnerdy111. I've removed you from the list of active users providing assistances at [[WP:USURP]] and [[WP:RENAME]] because you haven't recently made any clerk edits.

:Can I at least do off-wiki forms of communication. I am pretty well versed in that one, being on the WIkipedia weekly podcast. I check various places for information for that, so I know all about Mailing lists, IRC, ect...

== DYK == |

Please read [[WP:DYK]] and stop adding your own entry to [[T:DYK/N]]. DYK entries have to be proposed at [[T:TDYK]] first.--[[User:Carabinieri|Carabinieri]] ([[User talk:Carabinieri|talk]]) 22:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC) |

:I'm not entirely comfortable doing the update...I've only ever done it once before (and I'd hate to break the main page). I also don't know if others will appreciate you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Did_you_know/Next_update&diff=prev&oldid=183037575 adding] your own nomination...you should probably wait for someone else to move it up. There's really no rush here, maybe an admin with more DYK experience will get to it soon. — [[User:Scientizzle|Scien]]''[[User talk:Scientizzle|tizzle]]'' 22:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC) |

==Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mint screenshot.JPG)== |
|||
[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Mint screenshot.JPG]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]). |
|||
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Orphaned --> [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] ([[User talk:BJBot|talk]]) 22:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC) |

== Non-admin AfD closures... == |
|||
A couple of points... |
|||
I fixed the top of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Professional Basketball League (2007-)]]--the <nowiki>{{subst:at}}</nowiki> needs to go at the very top of AfDs. Also, while I think the close was fine, this particular AfD was approaching the "close call" realm that some may object to in a [[Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Non-administrators_closing_discussions|non-administrators close]] of a deletion discussion. Also note that "Non-administrators closing deletion discussions are recommended to disclose their status in the closing decision." This is ''always'' a good idea, in my opinion. — [[User:Scientizzle|Scien]]''[[User talk:Scientizzle|tizzle]]'' 22:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
I may re-open [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Club Peugeot UK]] as I'm of the opinion that a "no consensus" close isn't a good thing for non-admins to risk, and this could possibly use a relist instead... — [[User:Scientizzle|Scien]]''[[User talk:Scientizzle|tizzle]]'' 22:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Adding credits to DYK and more== |
|||
When you add in the credits to T:DYK/N, please use the <nowiki>{{user|Jimbo Wales}}</nowiki> template on the names, and wikilink the articles next to them (the exact name of the article). It makes it so much easier to do the credits when it's like that, and so much harder when it's not. We all know DYK's hard enough as it is :) [[User:Wizardman|<span style="color:#060">'''''Wizardman'''''</span>]] 23:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Another thing about DYK, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, start from the bottom of the backlog (i.e. today you should've picked january 2nd noms, not 4th through 8th). That messes everything up. I know you were just trying to help, though, but make sure you know what to do before you help. [[User:Wizardman|<span style="color:#060">'''''Wizardman'''''</span>]] 00:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

== [[WP:AC/CN]] == |

''your message has already been noted and archived. See the archive at the top of the page.'' What do you mean by this. I have looked at the linked archive, and there has been nothing noted about me. Regards -- [[User:Whiteandnerdy111|Whiteandnerdy111]] ([[User talk:Whiteandnerdy111|talk]]) 05:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

:It's in the archive. As Thatcher said, there is plenty of help at the moment, and yours isn't needed at present. Additionally, there are a variety of users who are "ahead" of you. I suggest you drop it before you create an even worse name for yourself around these parts. '''[[User:Daniel|<span style="color:#2E82F4">Daniel</span>]]''' 05:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

::Furthermore, I reverted your close of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Truth & Consequences]] per my edit summary. Please read [[WP:NAC]] before closing another discussion. '''[[User:Daniel|<span style="color:#2E82F4">Daniel</span>]]''' 05:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 05:58, 9 January 2008
I am leaving Wikipedia after all the Arb Com clerk drama's. I feel discouraged by these comments (that my help is not needed) and that I feel I am no good at anything (after having 2 out of 3 AFD closures overturned), further discouraging me. I were also going to have no/little time to edit. I therefore give The Placebo Effect permission to take the Signpost Tutorials I were going to write. I also apologize to Wiki-Phoenix for leaving while I were still being Admin-coached, therefore wasting the last 3 days of their time. Thank you to all editiors for your support. -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 05:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
