No one expects a Pigman admin!

		Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
		My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigman^what?/trail 05:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply] Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

Thanks!

Belatedly, for the Barnstar! I started my residency in June and hadn't logged in to wikipedia for months, thus the tardy reply. Perhaps I'll take it as inspiration to resume contributing now and then. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 01:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA - thanks

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of 38/1/0! I hope I can live up to the standards of adminship, and I will try my best to make Wikipedia a better place. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Axl, thanks for the stellar recognition! Just noticed your hugely impressive contributions to Wikiproject Medicine and elsewhere — well done. Hope our paths meet again somewhere in wikispace. Best, Neparis 02:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The common cold is listed here Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations, under the article's previous name Acute viral nasopharyngitis (common cold). Regards—G716 <^T·_C> 16:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Rfa

Well, not this time anyway it seems...my effort to regain my adminship was unsuccessful, but your support was still very much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you!--MONGO 07:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hi Axl, thanks a lot for taking out your precious time for reviewing the article. i have addressed all the issues you stated. hope so now you can make your decision. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 08:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dear Axl,

i can't break it any further. if will break it it won't look nice. the sentence is long because the name of the schemes introduced by the government are lengthy. hope so you won't mind. thanks a lot for your worthy efforts! :-) Sushant gupta (talk) 07:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a go at the sentence, see what you guys make of it. Cheers, Jayen466 13:46, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thanks for your support. - J Greb (talk) 22:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Catholic Church

There is a revote on the FA leave comments page of this article. You are invited to reexamine the article and either confirm or deny your previous support vote by voting again. Thanks. NancyHeise (talk) 08:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to confirm my support. However my IP address is blocked (see above). Axl (talk) 18:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank-you

Hi Axl! Thank-you for your support in my RfA (91/1/1).

I take all the comments to heart and hope I can fulfil the role of being

an admin to the high standard that the community deserves.

Seraphim♥ ^Whipp 16:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFA Thanks

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Even though it failed with 28 supports, 42 opposes, and 15 neutrals, I am grateful for the suggestions and advice I have received and I do hope to improve as a Wikipedian. If you ever need my help in any endeavor, feel free to drop me a line. --Shark face 217 19:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Transhumanist (Rfa)

I think The Transhumanist would make a great admin but I don't think I have the experience necessary to make up a nomination. If you want to take the lead, I'd be happy to follow though. --RegentsPark (talk) 15:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-assess action potential?

Hey Axl,

I know that you voted to remove action potential only three weeks ago, but the article has been improved considerably since then — well, at least I think so. ;) You can set me straight by reading the article through and telling me what still needs to be improved. I really do think it's worthy to be a Featured Article, and if you agree, I'd appreciate it if you changed your vote to Keep. Thanks! :) Willow (talk) 19:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

I have been blocked again by Jpgordon. :-( Axl (talk) 08:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you from Horologium

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed unanimously with the support of 100 editors. Your kindness 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 Wizardman, Black Falcon and jc37 for nominating me. — Horologium

RfA thanks!

		RfA: Many thanks
		Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 06:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your support in myRfA, which closed successfully this morning. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 16:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked again

I am still being blocked from my IP address, despite my requests for editing privileges. I regret that my contributions to Wikipedia will be very limited. Axl (talk) 18:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar. Hope you get that IP discrepancy resolved soon. Where are your requests for unblocking? I couldn't find any in your contribs. — C M B J 23:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here and above here. Axl (talk) 16:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little confused since I've never encountered a block. It was my understanding that IP blocks did not prevent registered users from contributing. Could you provide details? — C M B J 02:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Despite being logged in, I couldn't edit because the whole IP address range was blanket blocked. The reason given was "Massive sockpuppetry and abuse". Now, the problem seems to have disappeared, although I don't know why. Axl (talk) 09:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

City of Salford

Hi, I've implemented the changes you suggested. I noticed however that I was an hour or so too late and you've already failed the article. I've been hard pressed to find time to edit recently and as the main contributor to the article, it wasn't likely to progress without my input. Since the changes you asked for were in fact very minor, I was wondering if we could skip the queue especially since it had to wait about a month for a review in the first place? (Only if you believe that article passes GA criteria of course) Thanks for your time. Nev1 (talk) 16:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have delisted this article due to issues with criterion #3 of WP:WIAGA. My comments are at Talk:City of Salford#GA delisted; but in short, the history and geography sections are far too short and not comprehensive enough for a city of 200,000+, and the article lacks a 'media' section. Other than this missing info, I think it's reasonably good, and if the city was a very small town, it would probably be acceptable; but as it stands, it does not meet the criteria. The article has been referred back to WP:GAN, on hold status, so it wasn't failed outright. Dr. Cash (talk) 18:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

joining the ranks of the admins

Thank you

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a final count of 42 supporting, 2 opposing and 2 neutral. I would like to thank Keeper76 especially for the great nomination. I look forward to assist the project and its community as an administrator. Thanks again, Cenarium ^Talk 00:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Sigh. I'm blocked again. Axl (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it with me, I'll try and sort it for you. Ryan Postlethwaite 18:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, have you got the IP range? That would help a lot, it should say it in the block message - feel free to email me with it if you want. Ryan Postlethwaite 18:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've given you an IP block exemption - can you edit now? Ryan Postlethwaite 18:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ryan. Whatever you did, it worked. :-) Axl (talk) 19:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good news! :) Ryan granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

We hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. -- lucasbfr ^talk 06:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship nomination

Would you be interested in a nomination for adminship? Although I don't know you personally, judging from your contributions I think you'd make a great admin. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 09:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well you certainly have several contributions in WP:AIV, but if you're not particularly interested in vandal fighting/XfD/... then there would indeed be little use in it. And after all you could probably do more improving medical articles than doing those other tasks. Let me know if you have a change of heart :-) --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very much appreciated, thank you. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

[1] Thanks! Darkspots (talk) 11:00, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the "E=mc²" barnstar. I have kept my status as medical student with full awareness as most of the medical students (especially from urban regions) in India require to do some postgraduation course before they can practically begin their careers. I've completed the MBBS course, also got the permanent registration (License) to practice, but as of now am mostly studying for the entrance exams as the competition is fierce—a selection ratio of approximately 1:50 (all those who appear for the exams are qualified MBBS doctors!). Moreover, nowadays, people require to do some kind of superspecialization too before they are absorbed into some corporate hospital or can start their own private practice.

So, keeping all these things in mind, I refrain from identifying myself as doctor or physician. Fortunately, I'd got very good clinical exposure during my internship (lasts for one year), so wouldn't really feel guilty if I've to identify myself as doctor.

Hope you won't find my reply excessively long or personal.

Regards.

Ascending cholangitis

Thanks for your comments. I have addressed as many as I could. Two main questions:

When describing SIRS I focused on the clinical symptoms. Do you insist on using the official criteria?
Could you explain the need for using last and first in citation templates?

Cheers. JFW | T@lk 22:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

for the barnstar. I'm happy about the unexpected gift. However, I don't know what article or Wiki space is related to the barnstar and how you would know about me. Could tell me? Thanks--Caspian blue (talk) 13:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Pulmonary contusion

Hi, replied on my talk. Have I told you how great you are lately?! delldot talk 20:00, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re: Hello

If, by "work" you mean my profession, then it is utterly unrelated to the areas in which I edit. My interest in certain medical subjects is personal, and I'm an amateur. Colin°^Talk 20:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

For your input in ascending cholangitis. Would you have a minute to look at the FAC for subarachnoid hemorrhage? JFW | T@lk 20:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your typically thorough copyedit of SAH. Delldot has addressed some of your points on the FAC and I have taken care of most of the others. I'm eagerly awaiting your support vote :-).

And no, I have never worked in Southampton but Paul Grundy is on DNUK. I was quite pleased that he was willing to offer an external peer review - IMHO this is crucial for any medical article being considered for FA. JFW | T@lk 23:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

:O What a wonderful surprise! I missed this in my watchlist and just happened across this incidentally. Thank you so much, it made me feel great! delldot talk 02:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Study

Hi,
I need your help. I am working on a research project at Boston College, studying creation of medical information on Wikipedia. You are being contacted, because you have been identified as an important contributor to one or more articles.

Would you will be willing to answer a few questions about your experience? We've done considerable background research, but we would also like to gather the insight of the actual editors. Details about the project can be found at the user page of the project leader, geraldckane. Survey questions can be found at geraldckane/medsurvey. Your privacy and confidentiality will be strictly protected!

The questions should only take a few minutes. I hope you will be willing to complete the survey, as we do value your insight. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Professor Kane if you have any questions.

Thank You, Sam4bc (talk) 19:03, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
