RfA time

You ready to run the RfA gauntlet again? Me thinks your ready. — Realist² 15:35, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think so, buddy? =) --Efe (talk) 03:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support :) Orane (talk) 03:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Orane for the advance support. --Efe (talk) 04:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I think your certainly ready and we don't have many high profile admin music editors. Journalist, eo, and Rodhullandemu are some of the best well known. Most of the high profile music editors are not admins. You know policy like the back of your hand and your highly civil. Looking at your last RfA, many of the opposer's said "Weak support", I'm sure they can be swayed by now. Maybe we can get a few co-nom's together and forward an RfA? Unless you want to self nom? I would certainly co-nom you and I'm sure there is an admin who will also nom. — Realist² 10:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I actually don't like the idea "we don't have many high profile admin music editors" but with the encouragement of yours, Orane, and Winger, why not? --Efe (talk) 10:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean by that is, newbie's need a friendly, familiar person to turn to for advise etc. You are certainly well known, kind, calm, helpful. One problem some new editors have is that they don't know who to turn to. If someone asked me where to find help, I think you would be the ideal guy. Anyway, looks like we have some work to get to. I'll speak to Orane and Winger (directing them to this discussion) about setting up the RfA, I would be honored to chip in. We edit at different times so this might take some patience. — Realist² 11:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. Really, thanks Realist. --Efe (talk) 11:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I've informed them both, but noticed that Winger hasn't edited in a few weeks, hopefully he will respond soon, still the number of nom's doesn't matter, it's the candidate that matters, so you should be fine. We'll see what the others say and then set it up. — Realist² 11:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Saw it on my watchlist. =) --Efe (talk) 11:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meanwhile I'm getting back into article writing, a spent a few months doing fighting vandalism, sock puppets, page protection, AfD's etc. I recently noticed that we've started doing "good topics" (way easier that featured topics), so I decided to work on HIStory and all it's singles (doing the singles first). — Realist² 11:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I have two good topics now to... boast. Hehe. Just kidding. Your Jackson books really are a good help. --Efe (talk) 11:35, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah they are, still info is hard to find when you have to way through all the commentary on his personal life. He's only released one album in the internet age, Invincible (2001) so those older albums can be hard to source. Fingers crossed there will be a new studio album soon, though the POV pushers will be a nightmare. Think of the mad Britney fans/haters and times it by 10. Glad to see her back at her best, love to see the press proved wrong. Anyway, enough of my ranting. :-) — Realist² 11:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good you have those references. Britney's back and so amazing your fighting against those vandals in her pages. --Efe (talk) 11:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'd be honored to co nominate. Due to a full class schedule, though, I'm usually only on only at this time every night. But if you go ahead and make the nomination page, I'll add my nomination statement etc. (By the way, it's best to let others nominate you. It may have changed now, but people were a bit "iffy" about self noms). Cheers and good luck! Orane (talk) 04:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sent you a short e-mail.

Ya right, so I'll let any of you guys do it. --Efe (talk) 08:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I'll read the e-mail later. Can't access Yahoo now. --Efe (talk) 08:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, well I will set it up and Journalist can add to it if he has the available time. I will set it up tomorrow afternoon, and we can go live when ready. — Realist² 08:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK. --Efe (talk) 08:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Efe, if you would like to accept the nomination, and answer the questions. Let me know when you are finished and I will transclude it. Cheers. — Realist² 20:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have already indicated there my acceptance. I'll answer the question later, I still have classes. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 23:24, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure no rush, take your time. I won't transclude it until I have confirmation from you, I've left another message for Journalist if he isn't busy. If you want to wait a few extra days before letting the process being I'm cool with that to. Whenever best fits around your real life schedule. — Realist² 23:36, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll think about that, buddy. I have to go, bye for now. --Efe (talk) 23:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, everything is ready on my side, please tell me when to pull the switch and I will. If you want to postpone it a few days until the weekend or whatever just let me know. — Realist² 09:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ready too. You may now hit the button. =) --Efe (talk) 13:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's live, best of luck Efe. — Realist² 13:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I wasn't able to respond about this. The connection was so slow. --Efe (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BK Naughty Girl Riff.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:BK Naughty Girl Riff.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently 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. 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 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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at the image. I have requested for a deletion. --Efe (talk) 05:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:

Awesome, I sorta knew you kinda were, just trying to make sure. When you told me that you had plans of bringing a Beyoncé related article to FA, I was just wondering if you would work on an article afterwards. :) Also, I think you need a little break from me, since I bother you and stuff. Oh, if you do run for Admin, count my support in. :P -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Blue. --Efe (talk) 01:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Salutations, Efe, and thanks for your hard work on and GA nomination of The Elegance of the Hedgehog. I will be reviewing the article over the next few days, and the outlook looks good :) Feel free to contact me at any time. Regards, the skomorokh 04:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Skomorokh. Just to let you know I have addressed some of your initial concerns. --Efe (talk) 06:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've left some more comments prior to the full review, but there is no urgency in addressing them before your RfA concludes. the skomorokh 15:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am checking the page now. --Efe (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your RFA

Best wishes for your RFA -- Tinu Cherian - 05:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Tinucherian. --Efe (talk) 03:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wynchard Bloom

Hello. Please stop removing content from User:Wynchard Bloom's user page, its vandalism. If you have misunderstanding, please discuss it in his talk page. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 03:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Well Wynchard bloom has been doing the same for other pages and so i just feel like i should do it to him in return. He has no right to delete any content from celebrity pages just as from sarah geronimo and sam concepcion. maybe its better for you to review whats happening so that you can gather enough evidence for you to block that user. Also from his page he has CLEARLY STATED that he is against vandalism and yet he totally vandalised sam concecpions and sarah geronimo's page by deleting information that can indeed pass wikipedia's criteria. if wikipedia does have a problem, it will be wikipedia who will find a solution and not a normal user under the name of wynchard bloom. Furthermore i deleted the content of his page as he made contradictory and false statements. he claimed to be against vandalism and yet what has he been doing to other pages? please investigate upon that issueSlemcal1

I have not reviewed his contributions yet but deleting his page is a sort of retaliation, which isn't good for all of us here. If you continue deleting his page, someone will revert it, and you will only look "bad". If you feel his doing edits against the WikiPolicy, then we have proper actions to that. I hope that helps Slem. --Efe (talk) 03:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had never vandalize any Sarah Geronimo or Sam Concepcion pages, I just only want thaat the article of Sam will not look fannish or blog as what of Slemcal1's revision has. So I'll not considered it! Wynchard Bloom (talk) 04:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down, buddy, OK? We have proper actions to "bizarre behavior". --Efe (talk) 09:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I hope my vote will help you somehow to be admin.[1] Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 05:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Sir Floro. --Efe (talk) 08:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Almost there :D (Hope I didn't jinx it by talking too early...) Orane (talk) 09:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA - closed as successful

Congratulations! I have closed your RfA as successful.

On behalf of the community, thank you for submitting yourself to the trials of RfA and well done for coming through so well. Good luck with your new tools. You may find Wikipedia:New admin school useful, but don't be shy to ask other admins (or Crats) for help if in doubt.

Well done and enjoy your mop. --Dweller (talk) 20:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done Efe, you deserved it! — Realist² 21:24, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Efe! I am very pleased that your RfA passed. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask me or another admin. In the meantime, here's your new shirt: it'll help. :) Best wishes. Acalamari 21:49, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Finally! Congratulations Efe, well deserved. DiverseMentality 22:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OMG, congratulations on becoming an admin. Damn it, I can't believe I didn't get to voice my support. :( But, the people have spoken, so, congrats. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:54, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even know you were having an RfA (haven't been watching the area I guess). I would've supported - congrats!! :-) Jamie^☆S93 23:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats. Don't let the opposers get you down (You'll encounter a lot more difficult editors in your tenure). By the way, I took the liberty of adding the admin globe in your userpage.--Lenticel ^(talk) 00:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you guys for the overwhelming support. Looking forward to working with you all in the future. --Efe (talk) 02:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I congratulate you before you drop templates? Hope yes. Congratulations! Daniil Maslyuk (talk) 04:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, congrats my good sir! Knew it would pass. Realist, whenever you're ready... Orane (talk) 04:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on your successful RFA. Best wishes again -- Tinu Cherian - 04:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to vote in time :( But that does not preclude me from saying...congratulations!!! You really deserved the AfD :D And for a reality check-cum-reminder, remember Peter Parker's Uncle Ben's motto: with great power comes great responsibility. Good luck on your future admin-related endeavours :) --- Tito Pao (talk) 07:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations. :-) --seav (talk) 11:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on your RFA, Efe, I knew you would be granted of that privilege... Blake Gripling (talk) 11:54, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huwow, I always thought you will pass your Rfa unlike Example. Hehe. Congrats, dude! Sorry if this one came late! Anyways, congratulations again. Axxand (talk) 12:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA? Holy crap!

Hey! I'm sorry I missed your RfA, because I would have been more than happy to serve as a co-nom! It figures that I would miss something like that in a break away from the project :( Regardless of that, though, congratulations! --Winger84 (talk) 16:21, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
